Rameez to faheem" he has done massively well because its the big hit.

 

[shariqnoor]

I would rather have Babar and Haider bowl 8 overs of spin themselves than have Haris and Shaheen bowl a single delivery.

Shaheen hasn't done much wrong.

The less said about Haris the better.

 

[nextover666666]

Target of 145 i will still favor south africa here but if pakistan can get 3 early wickets we might have a came on our hand

 

[Cricket World]

Match will be over in18 overs

 

[UzmanBeast]

Pretorius - The new Abbas

Remove Malan, Miller, and Klaasen to even stand a chance.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Does anyone have the stats of how many times Pakistan have defended scores above 140?

 

[Shaddy86]

They knew it would be a spinning track and both teams struggled with the spin yet they went for the exact same team. No such thing as a winning combined. Fluked the last win won't be doing it again with this pathetic team.

Khushdil and Iftikhar are proper part time spinners.

Should have gone with a flat deck.

SA will manage to choke, somehow.

SA will manage to choke, somehow.

Doubt it.

Have never lost a T20 series in Asia.

 

[bilawal666]

Expect Haris Rauf to give at least two boundaries an over.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Relax fans, if we don’t win tonight. I am sure we will win next game.

Babar failure is costing us big time, may be he should come at no.3 as he will feel less pressure.

Sharjeel and Rizwan can be a good openers.

 

[Usman Chadda]

South Africa should chase this down, provided the dew increasing late in the evening.

 

[shariqnoor]

No justification for Shaheen and Rauf to bowl more than 4 overs on this pitch. 5 maximum.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone

Malan

Shaheen

 

[Heisenberg111]

Ball by Shaheen.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Good, now take another wicket.

 

[Gullycricket]

Beautyyyy

 

[Gullycricket]

Janeman go prepare for ur valentine

 

[Titan24]

Thats a good one

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Instead of Harris i would go with Nawaz here.

 

[Heisenberg111]

No justification for Shaheen and Rauf to bowl more than 4 overs on this pitch. 5 maximum.

Yeah, talk nah

 

[Gullycricket]

Waiting for those grunts and funny screams of Haris Rauf after taking wickets

 

[Rana]

Lol The 'future great' Jaaneman

 

[Gullycricket]

Smurts is good player. Saw him before smashing English

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to take another wicket ASAP.

 

[Rana]

Snyman or Smuts

who will be the next Kallis?

 

[shariqnoor]

Yeah, talk nah

Let's wait.

 

[Rana]

Smuts is 32

He looks like Dean Ambrose

 

[Gullycricket]

Hate these green boots of SA batsman

 

[Heisenberg111]

Great 1st over by Shaheen.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Do

Not

Give

Haris

Rauf

The

Ball

In

The

Powerplay

 

[Rana]

Very surprised they didnt go for the review knowing our boys

 

[Rana]

Beautiful 6th ball

 

[Heisenberg111]

Let's wait.

Haris may go for a few here, but Shaheen should do well.

 

[Titan24]

Cutters are getting stuck on the wicket and spinning, something other pacers need to take note off

 

[Third Man]

Very surprised they didnt go for the review knowing our boys

They would've taken it if it was up to Shaheen.

 

[imshally81]

Rauf the next wahab riaz is on

 

[UzmanBeast]

lool

Lol, this team never fails to disappoint.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Rauf with a long hop going for 4 wides to start with. Absolute rubbish.

 

[Rana]

5 wides

 

[Heisenberg111]

Haris is a brainless bowler, giving 5 wides is criminal.

 

[Titan24]

Rauf needs to find his radar, bowling on legside is asking for trouble

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol, this team never fails to disappoint.

Predictable pea sized brains

 

[bilawal666]

One or two more boundaries coming this over.

 

[DeadBall]

Really bad kaptaancy by Babar

 

[owais1]

 

[Gullycricket]

Streets is getting hammered

 

[UzmanBeast]

Lol Haris Rauf going for 10 an over, not an uncommon sight.

What reason does Babar have to bowl this guy in the PP?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Now a wide short ball on the offside smashed for 4.

Can Rauf get one to pitch in a decent area in this over?

 

[Titan24]

Just bowl within the stumps man

 

[angrypathan]

Rauf

 

[Gullycricket]

SA B team is way better than their overrated A team

 

[Mamoon]

Back to the streets and tape leagues for Haris. Professional cricket is not his level.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries...

 

[UzmanBeast]

Horrible bowling.

 

[Madplayer]

What a spray gun

 

[Heisenberg111]

Haris Rauf should stick to BBL.

 

[castortroy]

Why is this guy bowling with the new ball

Pak seamers are always so expensive

 

[Energy]

Rauf getting smashed to both sides of the park. Brainless bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

Rauf is not a new ball bowler.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Leg stump pie gone for another 4.

Still waiting for a decent delivery with the new ball from Rauf.

 

[imshally81]

Back to the streets and tape leagues for Haris. Professional cricket is not his level.

Agreed... I think first time in my life

 

[UzmanBeast]

Back to the streets and tape leagues for Haris. Professional cricket is not his level.

Couldn't agree more.

If we want to persist with him (probably will), bowl him in the MO.

 

[Rana]

Nawaz bowled so well with the new ball last time,

If you are not changing your team due to 'winning combination', then why change your winning combination in bowling?

 

[Gullycricket]

No brain bowler. From breed of Wahab, Shinwari

 

[angrypathan]

Giving Rauf the new ball is a sackable offence

 

[Omer2002]

Well done Babz and misbah for not playing hasnain deserve a malling

 

[Madplayer]

He makes Mohd Sami look like Mcgrath. Rubbish control

 

[imshally81]

Rauf is not a new ball bowler.

He isn't a death overs bowler too...

 

[UzmanBeast]

Haris Rauf bowls a dot ball, rare sight.

 

[shamaan]

Why the heck have they got fine leg inside the circle!

 

[Titan24]

Bring in Nawaz from Rauf’s end

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

How much runs Rauf has to give away more?
So that babar brainless captain understand that he is not a power play bowler.
Just see his past stats man ??
What is this management doing here??

 

[Heisenberg111]

Have a slip in.

 

[imshally81]
