South Africa beat Pakistan by 13 runs (DLS method) in the third ODI to take 2-1 series lead

[imshally81]

Bad line and length from Amir..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pak bowlers not getting their line and lengths right here. Too short or wide.

Taking wickets is key here on a very good batting track.

 

[Snowflake]

Geez, Amir! How long does it take for this guy to find his line and length?

 

[NauV]

Rain coming in fast

 

[rhony]

Amir's not even trying to pitch it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir needs to attack , pitch the ball up

 

[Plumb]

those who predicting win/loss they must have never played cricket.

 

[Shafi]

So many loose balls from Amir!!!!

 

[Snowflake]

What's the forecast?

 

[Plumb]

Sarfi on top of Amir...... Sarfi/Amir matchup

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is with constant yelling from Sarfraz lol Amir was walking back.. he was holding him back and talking to him.

 

[Snowflake]

So many loose balls from Amir!!!!

I haven't seen a single good one from him

 

[imshally81]

Bad over from Amir...

 

[a_tahir]

Thunderstorm in an hour or two

 

[Snowflake]

What is with constant yelling from Sarfraz lol Amir was walking back.. he was holding him back and talking to him.

Sarfraz has shown a lot of patience till now tbh. This has been absolutely pathetic by Amir.

 

[a_tahir]

Exactly.
Sarfaraz's anger is justified.

 

[Stalin]

Weather not looking good at all.

 

[m.shah]

This pitch is really flat. Also shows how limited imam is. He needs to improve massively

 

[Fahdi]

Misfealding

 

[Snowflake]

This pitch is really flat. Also shows how limited imam is. He needs to improve massively

I think you got a shout out in his post innings interview.

 

[Dark_Horse]

This is pretty embarrassing to see Amir Seam position, swing and no pace as in past sport persons used to criticise Wahab for his seam position even to the point that in a live show a current player(pak bowler not remember who was he) said that due to wahab seam gets damaged and other bowlers cannot swing. How they cannot criticise Amir aske him to swing it at pace or go home.
PS I am not a wahab fan

 

[Gullycricket]

This pitch is really flat. Also shows how limited imam is. He needs to improve massively

Come on man.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a pitch where 300 is a par score

 

[Pakhs]

Its looking easy to bat on this spinners will be key

 

[Chokli]

sa gonna win this easily

 

[Shafi]

This pitch is really flat. Also shows how limited imam is. He needs to improve massively

And our bowlers bowling really bad!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hole in fielders hand.

 

[Fahdi]

What's with the lazy fielding? 5 free runs this over!

 

[Stalin]

What a shot!

 

[rhony]

Bring Imad in and see if he can sneak one through DeKock

 

[m.shah]

I think you got a shout out in his post innings interview.

He can say whatever he like but he played poor inning on such a good track.

 

[Plumb]

Bring Imad..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not fair on the young bowler , field well.

 

[rhony]

sa gonna win this easily

Lol no. Spinners will choke them. But need to get a wicket soon

 

[Savak]

There needs to be a National Assembly investigation on Amir's continuous non stop selection in the Pakistan team. Other bowlers get dropped immediately after one bad game and not allowed to settle into the team while this dude keeps getting selected, keeps getting the new ball, keeps topping the Central Contract list. Other bowlers would have comfortably established themselves with this much backing by now.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Players like Imam , Imad , hafeez scoring shows how easy the pitch is.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sarfraz has shown a lot of patience till now tbh. This has been absolutely pathetic by Amir.

But you have to factor in there is nothing on the surface. SA bowlers bowled a lot more filth.

 

[shariqnoor]

Only spin can win this match on this track. Don't think our fast bowlers can stop the run rate here. Beautiful track for batting.

 

[Plumb]

But you have to factor in there is nothing on the surface. SA bowlers bowled a lot more filth.

Thanks for pointing but here only pak bowlers get noticed...

He was the best bowler in tests and was dropped in the first two ODIs

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Spinners need to come in early. Need to take the pace off the ball.

 

[desi_launda]

Positive start by Hashim Amla.Must not get bogged down in this game.
Pakistan should try to keep him batting to maintain the run rate

 

[Chokli]

Lol no. Spinners will choke them. But need to get a wicket soon

nah sa should win

 

[Plumb]

called it long ago Shaddy/Hafeez/Imad ll be key... comon bring hafeez or Imad

 

[Omer2002]

amir getting frustrated..i did say we shouldnt have batted first

 

[imshally81]

Better over by Amir...

 

[m.shah]

Good from Amir

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir averages 107 in his last 11 odi games.

 

[Snowflake]

But you have to factor in there is nothing on the surface. SA bowlers bowled a lot more filth.

Doesn't mean they can't stick to a tight line or length. Amir has been all over the place. Too legside and too short.

 

[dragon751]

Lol no. Spinners will choke them. But need to get a wicket soon

amla will ensure a pak win dont worry

 

[m.shah]

Some dark clouds there

 

[Bilal7]

They're smartly playing it safe because even a single wicket will help Pakistan during the D/L calculations.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How many overs need to be bowled for a result? 20?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ball isn't doing anything for the bowlers. Pakistan need to change things up and use the change of pace and mix it up.

Imad should replace Amir next over and try to bring in another fielder in the circle.

 

[m.shah]

SA will be keeping an close eye on DL score

 

[Plumb]

Is it me or mic stumps are way too loud?? you can hear everything on field

 

[Green Patriot]

De Kock needs to get out.
This is a good wicket, going to be very hard to defend.

 

[Chokli]

this is where captaincy comes in

 

[JibranAnsari]

Which senior is rizwan in for?

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan missed the runout chance here...

 

[Plumb]

chance missed

 

[jnaveen1980]

As soon as the ball hit, Sarfraz starts yelling lol It is pretty distracting even as a viewer.

 

[m.shah]

Run out chance goes begging

 

[PakPremi]

those who predicting win/loss they must have never played cricket.

+1

 

[Buffet]

SA may struggle against spin. 317 is lots of runs.

 

[Pakhs]

Looking at the sky rain will definitely have a say in this match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan misses Van dessen at the other end lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

You cant ask a teenager to keep it quiet.

 

[Itachi]

Pak is 20 runs short me thinks.

 

[Green Patriot]

Have to keep the RR low incase D/L comes into play sometime later.

 

[Plumb]

yup ball is doing something for Imad so Shadab 'll be awesome on this wicket

 

[m.shah]

That was so close

 

[rhony]

As soon as the ball hit, Sarfraz starts yelling lol It is pretty distracting even as a viewer.

He is fighting for everything. His spot, his captaincy. So, can undertand his desperation

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinners will be key for Pakistan here

 

[imshally81]

Beauty by Sir..

 

[m.shah]

Oh so lucky it hit the stumps..

 

[rhony]

Is that a conscious effort by Sarf to speak in English?

 

[Plumb]

told ya spinners game.. bring in Hafeez Shadab comon wicket is right at the corner

 

[imshally81]

Hasan on..

 

[jnaveen1980]

South africa's notorious failing against spinner should be exploited by Pakistan
