Pakistan v South Africa | 2nd T20I | Lahore | February 13, 2021 | Pakistan Innings

Class

 

[imranraf]

Look at the level of these so called young talents. It’s frustrating that we can’t find some good batsmen

This is why guys like:

Hafeez
Malik

Keep getting selected So disappointing.

 

[UzmanBeast]

On the topic of Babar Azam, when you're in good form, you're watching the ball well looking for scoring opportunities.

When you're out of form, you're not watching the ball well.

Consistent LBW dismissals mean that he isn't watching the ball well.

Needs to find his mojo and get back at scoring runs.

 

[imshally81]

15 T20Is against full-strength India, England and Australia, and Pakistan would probably lose around 12-13.

No.. Maximum 3-4...

 

[Titan24]

Seriously if you can't dominate SA B team bowling attacks on flat decks like this you have no chance

Yes its a popular narrative but Pak is without Imad, Hafeez, Shadab, Amir, Hassan and Fakhar as well who have played the most T20s for Pak over the last 4 or so years.

 

[Shafi]

This Talat looks like Tail ender.What M Wasim saw in him?

 

[ARK Rafay]

I don't think Hussain Talat will be able to secure his place in the XI in the world cup. Hafeez will be back and one of Iftikhar or Asif Ali will occupy no. 5 position

 

[Devadwal]

What happened to babar ? Rizwan what a talent he is.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Shamsi about to come on I reckon.

Need to bash him.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Another overhyped pak player like Naseen

This is what happens if you just select someone on the basis of intuition instead of proper FC performances.

Rizwan has played a lot of FC and you can see that maturity in his batting.

 

[Rana]

Talat not looking great today

 

[castortroy]

Haider Ali looks very confused at the moment. Not ready for internationals. Lack of first class and list A showing

Looks a mess technically. Doesn't look like someone who knows how to get of strike and not a players that has awareness of where the field is

 

[UzmanBeast]

I don't think Hussain Talat will be able to secure his place in the XI in the world cup. Hafeez will be back and one of Iftikhar or Asif Ali will occupy no. 5 position

I doubt even Iftikhar will get the position.

I'm thinking Malik will get a recall.

Asif or Khushdil or Azam at 6.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

All down to Rizwan once again

 

[imranraf]

Talat is trying to run out Rizwan

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I don't think Hussain Talat will be able to secure his place in the XI in the world cup. Hafeez will be back and one of Iftikhar or Asif Ali will occupy no. 5 position

Hafeez
Malik
Asif Ali

is indeed our middle order for the upcoming WC, unfortunately.

 

[castortroy]

If it wasn't for Rizwan, our batting displays in both games so far would be embarrassing

 

[UzmanBeast]

This is what happens if you just select someone on the basis of intuition instead of proper FC performances.

Rizwan has played a lot of FC and you can see that maturity in his batting.

Exactly.

FC Cricket exposes technical flaws.

Haider has too many technical flaws.

Shamsi on now, need to make sure that he doesn't take wickets.

Either play him out or bash him.

 

[Rana]

Much better, showing us the off side today is Rizwan!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Look at the level of these so called young talents. It’s frustrating that we can’t find some good batsmen

To make it worse

Hafeez, Malik saved us in that series against Bangla as well before Malik was left out again.

 

[castortroy]

Man these guys are absolutely useless

 

[ARK Rafay]

Another brainless shot.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Since Misbah's at the helm many of these are getting a good run yet unable to stamp their authority.

Wouldn't surprise me if we end up with Malik, Hafeez again in the WC

That's the worry. Comeback of Hafeez and Malik will damage our team long-term.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Talat gone

Shamsi has the last laugh)

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hussain 'Flop' talat fails for the 40th time.

He has a faulty technique and is mentally weak.

Shamsi is to him what Steyn was to Hafeez.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Horrible batting.

Poor batting.

How much is there to say.

Pathetic batting.

Play him out.

 

[Rana]

Thats it, play that reverse confidently!

 

[Cricket World]

Talat playing like a number eleven

 

[Titan24]

All the wickets have been freebies

 

[imranraf]

Malik should be a walk in this team. He is better and much fitter than most of these young guys

 

[TeymurBlake]

Talat is a wrong player for the wrong format. He's much better suited to ODI or Test formats.

*sigh* he fails yet again.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hussain 'Flop' talat fails for the 40th time.

He has a faulty technique and is mentally weak.

Shamsi is to him what Steyn was to Hafeez.

I would honestly play Amad or Amir Yamin as a batsman.

 

[Rana]

Thats it, play that reverse confidently!

My sky go is so slow! He got out on the reverse!!!

 

[msb314]

Poor shot by Talar.

 

[Cricket World]

Can Rizwan save us again

 

[JibranAnsari]

talat has no normal shots. always looking to play abnormal shots.

 

[Rafa]

Pakistan wants to make this series exciting by leveling

 

[Ahmed216]

Looks a mess technically. Doesn't look like someone who knows how to get of strike and not a players that has awareness of where the field is

There's no place at this level for a batsman who cant rotate strike using soft hands. Even Shahid afridi could do it.
Selectors fault that Haider is playing

 

[TeymurBlake]

Wouldn't have been against the idea of bringing Mohammad Nawaz up the order.

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol Talat is not a good batsmen in any format.

 

[Shafi]

Talat is/was/will be same rubbish batsman.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Bazid saying Iftikhar is a finisher,lol

 

[shah_1]

Talat clearly was clueless hence these reverse sweeps

 

[Rana]

Chacha tenu khuda da vasta eh!

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Haider is the player we need. Dont care how ugly he looks with his shots at times. The boy is brave

Current umar akmal is even better than this tuller

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

The scary thing is all these so called Youngsta beauties who are being brought into the side arent delivering and keep on repeating the same mistakes. Someone needs to work with them. Or sort the system out and only pick a player once he is fully ready and had performed in a Number of matches. Rather than picking raw talent and destroying their confidence

 

[Titan24]

Pak has decent depth but these middle overs are important. Need a good partnership and that too at a decent pace

 

[Rana]

Talat clearly was clueless hence these reverse sweeps

Lol Watch khusdhil dot ball everything against Shamsi

 

[Omer2002]

Chaps i did predict 2 1 score
..we were v lucky last match no chance today

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I would honestly play Amad or Amir Yamin as a batsman.

Amir Yamin is a serious batsman. His bowling is a joke on flat wickets, but he has serious FC experience in batting.

 

[castortroy]

If Rabada, du plessis, De kock, Nortje were all involved, we would have been whitewashed

 

[Heisenberg111]

What will Ifti Chacha do today ?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Amir Yamin is a serious batsman. His bowling is a joke on flat wickets, but he has serious FC experience in batting.

He's more than a useful new ball bowler in the right conditions.

 

[Markhor]

This is why Mohammad Hafeez still plays at age of 40.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

talat has no normal shots. always looking to play abnormal shots.

He was already exposed in the PSL, let alone international cricket.

Yet our people try selecting him.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Haider Ai, Khushdil, talat which 1 of these have performed?

 

[Heisenberg111]

If Rabada, du plessis, De kock, Nortje were all involved, we would have been whitewashed

Won't have made any difference. Full strength SA couldn't whitewash Pak in SA.

 

[Omer2002]

I dont mind reverse sweeps its good. But they had three players there did anybody notice that...no body has that many so surely as a batsman you open your eyes and look where the fielders are

 

[Ucdkee]

So wanted Hussain Talat to fire...but our batsmen seriously lack common cricketing sense.

 

[Kroll]

Ifti the "finisher" is here.

 

[ahmedzee]

Winning cumbanation is maintained. The PCB thinks this is a World Cup winning team.

Teams play winning combination in tournaments. This is t20 before World Cup and Misbah the defensive mindset guy doing what he does best, not experimenting and taking risks. Pretty silly!

 

[castortroy]

Won't have made any difference. Full strength SA couldn't whitewash Pak in SA.

Would have whitewashed this pak team

 

[Titan24]

What our fans need to realize is that players dont get developed by playing 10-15 T20 internationals. It takes time to develop players.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

After Hafeez, Malik

even allrounders like Shadab, Imad are more effective than these 'taluntss'.

 

[castortroy]

Pak with their standard 165-170 score incoming

 

[shah_1]

Lack of talent is so evident

 

[Firebat]

It's honestly staggering how many of our batsman lack basic sense. Whenever a batsman put on a Pakistan shirt, they lose any and all cricketing brain cells, whether they're the #1 T20I batsman in the world or not. Rizwan seems the only one with the antidote

 

[Kroll]

Pak with their standard 165-170 score incoming

One word "Misbah"

 

[Heisenberg111]

Would have whitewashed this pak team

If you say so

 

[Heisenberg111]

This is a slow wicket. 150-160 is a par score here.

 

[Shafi]

Unless we loose we cannot get rid of leeches like Misbah-Waqar and wanna be players like Ifti, Khusdil, Talat...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Tuk tuk

 

[Shaddy86]

Pak with their standard 165-170 score incoming

Lol dream on. Not getting that today.

 

[Ahmed216]

Expected this from Babar playing as captain. Not the strongest mentally

 

[Rana]

boooooring

Booooooring

Booooooring

 

[imshally81]

I hate Misbah's mentality... He never ever change the winning combination.. .
Sometime you need to kick out the weak link..

 

[Third Man]

I don't know who rates Talat and why? It was always clear that he's a mediocre player. Not even PSL level, let alone international.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Well, apart from Rizwan, no one seems to be comfortable playing the ball.
Shamsi is turning miles.

 

[Titan24]

Unless someone plays a gem, it’s looking like another day of par or maybe even below par score

 

[Kroll]

Lol dream on. Not getting that today.

You never know with ifti the finisher still there.
