Pakistan vs South Africa | Match 30, World Cup | Lord's | June 23, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[90MPH]

Rode our luck that day. Had Roy not dropped the sitter, we would have settled for much less.

No Einstein, the wickets were dead as pancakes during the ODI series.

The pitches generally in the ICC WC have been slower, partly due to the inconsistent weather in England and the ICC not watering the pitches and playing on used ones.

This one at Lords today looks more decent though, need 290/300 today

 

[dhump]

but one must not be this happy getting Imam out this is embarrassing.

 

[QalandarFan]

We batted very well in the series, but I was talking about the World Cup match.

I was talking about England in general.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

That's a great catch from Tahir using his Pakistani genes in a non-Pakistani manner [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION].

 

[Mamoon]

Dont need to cheapshow everypakistani player man, how do u know whats the price? Ehat if he got only available ones in ground?

Wahab has a knack for it. He also has a “I love London” white tee.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan are choking themselves.

 

[Babbar]

Dam it! i should have had Tahir in my fantasy team. Rabada and Ngidi are waste till now.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Holy what a catch...

 

[castortroy]

300 plus looks miles off now

With our bowling line up, we are going to need that score

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan at least need 230 to compete.

 

[Nov15]

"Soft-signat this one" - Tahir must be saying.

 

[QalandarFan]

Imam has been a flop in this world cup. Wonder what happened to averaging 60.

 

[Hasan123]

We like to call South Africa chokers but had we been in there situation at 10 overs , they would have ran past us. Look how we have let them back in the game.

Pakistan mentality is as bad as South Africa.

 

[Ahmed216]

He some issues against spin.

I think the secret to playing spin is either you get completely forward or play on the backfoot. Babar gets caught in between at times

 

[Titan24]

Batsmen giving it away after getting a start as usual

 

[Usman Chadda]

South Africa on top here. The batting has been substandard so far.

This is a 320+ wicket.

 

[ak619]

We forgot to factor in that Tahir's genes would turn him into a cornered tiger too.

 

[Mamoon]

That's a great catch from Tahir using his Pakistani genes in a non-Pakistani manner [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION].

I think he is fluking it in typical Pakistani fashion.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Jazba in Imran Tahir
He is playing here for his Homeland because after this match we will be down to no 9

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Really how did he catch that

 

[Abdulm123]

well played Imam ul Haq, stunner by Tahir. Haters will never be satisfied no matter how much you do.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Would have preferred harris

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imam's great test match innings comes to an end. Just couldn't get his name on the honours board.

 

[pak4life]

Well that was unexpected! same old.

 

[Shafi]

Can't believe our players giving wickets this hack!!!!!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

C:/team/selfdestructionmode -activated -collapse -tuktuk -all

 

[Green Patriot]

Imran's celebration
Even Babar cant stop that smile.

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan in deep trouble.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam gets to 40, chokes the innings, then gets out.

He's perfect for sucking momentum out of team innings

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Wow kaptaan can’t come up and take on the game...would have been a good time to step up to the plate and lead from the front

 

[uberkoen]

Imam should not be opening for Pakistan

Pathetic player.

 

[90MPH]

Hafeez 2.0 will go for his shots.

Either he gets out cheaply or will score decently.

 

[imshally81]

Time for hafeez vs Tahir

 

[QalandarFan]

Professor is going to smash this spinner Imran Tahir all over the park!

 

[DeadlyYorker]

That's a great catch from Tahir using his Pakistani genes in a non-Pakistani manner [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION].

Good fielding is saf gene,probably got them from all the holy water he is drinking on that soil

 

[Green Patriot]

Hafeez in a bit too early.
Should have been Sarfaraz i think.
Hafeez at 5 is better.But then again the pitch isnt doing much.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Hafeez looks nervous..

 

[Mamoon]

No Einstein, the wickets were dead as pancakes during the ODI series.

The pitches generally in the ICC WC have been slower, partly due to the inconsistent weather in England and the ICC not watering the pitches and playing on used ones.

This one at Lords today looks more decent though, need 290/300 today

We are a rubbish team, save your words for someone who will listen.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't trust Hafeez under pressure.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Those wickets came through sheer lack of conviction in the batting since the 10th over. Pakistan totally lost their way through navel gazing attitude rather than looking to apply pressure.

 

[nandanraj]

Lol Tahir....great catch

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hafeez is gonna scoop it up in the air.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Why Hafeez before Haris, makes no sense

 

[Afhan Ali]

Why Haris not come to bat

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get the feeling we are going home today. Luck has been against us since the tournament began.

 

[QalandarFan]

I would of rather sent out Haris Sohail, who is going to be our finisher now?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a spell by chachu

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haris should’ve come in

 

[chinaman00]

Should have sent Harris and save Hafeez for the late overs. This is yet another brainless thinking by Pakistani Managment

 

[JibranAnsari]

amazing bowling.

 

[Ahmed216]

These 2 dont have the game to capitalize on a good start

Our openers

 

[Shafi]

Ufff boy what a torture by these two now

You should be happy now? Torture end!!

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Tahir bhai to get hafeez bhai back in the hut in 7 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Why Haris not come to bat

Seniority Culture.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic inns from imam comes to an end. Pretty much killed all momentum of the inns.

 

[castortroy]

To bet 300 plus one of the openers had to get a ton

 

[IAJ]

Into 21st over and we haven’t even reached 100. Run rate has cone down from 7 to 4,7.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam should not be opening for Pakistan

Pathetic player.

They are playing it all wrong. Babar should open and Haris at no. 3. Look at how successful Babar and Fakhar are in T20Is

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That is an Indian song

 

[Pete Rose]

The start has been completely squandered

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan v Pakistan so far lol

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Love the jazba of the pak fan

 

[barah_admi]

Haris shouldn't even be playing let alone batting above Hafeez.

These two really have to consolidate and push through to the 30th over ideally.

 

[QalandarFan]

Should have sent Harris and save Hafeez for the late overs. This is yet another brainless thinking by Pakistani Managment

It's Hafeez himself who can not take it being told to bat lower than #4. He wanted to open this world cup too. It's an ego thing with him.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Again in and out. 40s are useless.

 

[sindhiboy]

brainless to not get haris in

 

[IAJ]

Last 5 overs just 11 runs

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Seniority Culture.

They will send Haris when it's time to hit out and then he will struggle. Some people will have their mission accomplished.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Pathetic inns from imam comes to an end. Pretty much killed all momentum of the inns.

Why just point finger to him not like your superstar is batting at anything above SR of 50

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Oh wow - how this game has changed.

1st 10 overs 58 for no loss.

2nd batch of 10 overs 39 runs and 2 wickets.

Last 5 overs - only 11 runs and a wicket.

 

[Ahmed216]

Another 'block or hit' comes in

 

[Mueez]

That is an Indian song

‘Badtameez dill’

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Get the feeling we are going home today. Luck has been against us since the tournament began.

Don't see what luck is involved in batting like nervous kittens against a ball which has lost it's shine.

 

[Afhan Ali]

With Babar and Hafeez, a run out is always is in the pocket

 

[Fahdi]

Both Fakhar and Imam scored 44 and got out playing risky strokes but Imam took 7 more deliveries for his 44. Hack needs to be dropped but Imam has been great for some reason.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

You should be happy now? Torture end!!

Not happy at all...now i am more worried about collapse...

 

[ARK Rafay]

Micky and his men are eyeing for 250.

 

[castortroy]

Problem is that our bowling has been getting smacked for 300 plus for the last 3 months.

No score is safe

 

[Hasan123]

Apparently this was our best team since 99 and the weakest South African team for a WC, there isn't even that much of a gap between the 2 teams. Show how far we have fallen.

 

[pillionrider]

Think there's no point following this anymore. Pak are going home it looks like.
