What's new

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

Unlucky Amla. He has been terrific in this series, deserved another big score..
 
Probably a thread on this but Pakistan's new ball bowling has been a long term problem. Don't feel like we're as penetrative as other teams.

Partly due to playing so much UAE cricket where you're basically waiting for the ball to get old enough to reverse.
 
Get another wicket and a Pakistan win is confirmed if the thunderstorm is coming.

This is where M Abbas might come in for the ODI's against Eng and Aus. Even Junaid has had success with the new ball.
 
How many overs should a team bat for Duckworth Lewis to kick in case of rain?

Agreed... that also shows on the length. Mostly back of length which shouldn't be with new ball and in these conditions..
 
This is thing with Amla , in ODI he has only one gear compared to all.openers around the world.
I like him much more than Sharma, but Sharma on his day takes the game away completely from the opposition.

Batsmen like Sharma are rare.
 
Man, rain keeps playing spoiler for us.

The 3rd ODI v NZ was almost as good as won until it started raining in the desert of all places.

Sharma is on a different planet compared to Amla! Lol!

There's no comparison.
 
not seen any cricket today . How is the pitch ? 317 is surely good here under lights ?
