South Africa defeat Pakistan by 7 runs in 2nd T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in T20I series

[castortroy]

Another short ball. Another pull straight to the fielders

 

[IMMY69]

Running out of deliveries...

I like Talat but he’s been BAD in the last 5 overs...

 

[Asif321]

Damm our streak is on line

 

[Ahmed216]

Asif Alis three sixes in PSL are hurting us

 

[QalandarFan]

104 K’s only they are giving no pace man.

 

[Barragan]

asif is proper trash

Will come good in 1 out of 15 games

 

[shah_1]

Bring in Imad

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Hehehe

Don't worry, the great hope is here!

 

[aukhan]

China ka afridi.

Cant beleive we messed this up after babar's heroics.

 

[ads101]

Really disappointed with how Talat looks. The way he was being hyped up for years in domestic I actually thought he was something. I'll give him the benefit of doubt, maybe it's just nerves but he really doesn't look international standard. He didn't look altogether amazing in PSL either despite doing well.

Asif while people bashing him, at least showed glimpses of quality in his international T20 matches and in general looked far better hitting, much cleaner in the PSL.

None of them right now look serious options for the WC though. These T20s are for experimentation, I would have rather given chances to guys with a shout of WC like Masood even if they weren't T20 players. Give them every opportunity. I don't much care for creating the "ideal T20 team", all the T20 players right now should be players in contention for WC, no T20 specialists.

 

[IAJ]

Brainless, nothing Else.

 

[ARK Rafay]

This match was over when Babar and Talat brought run rate down below 10. Our batsman aren't capable of scoring 12+ runs in the last overs.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan has only 1 batsman. Babar. Thats all.

 

[IMMY69]

Why Malik, why?

 

[BhootKhan]

Now we dont stand any chance

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shinwari asif and talat 3 useless players who shudnt be anywer near the team

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan Ali can hit long ball.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Send imad

 

[Titan24]

Asif Alis three sixes in PSL are hurting us

Unfortunately not many who can hit any

 

[Pete Rose]

How can you be late on the shot to a slow ball bouncer lol

 

[Barragan]

Should have been Imad

 

[Mamoon]

Surely we cannot lose against this very weak South African XI. This is about pride today, not the fake number one ranking.

 

[Hbomb00]

Who will say us PCT if we dont take it to the very last ball

 

[PakPremi]

I called it Asif is a real let down.

 

[xricket]

Inzi, Credit goes to all boys, they played really well, must not select asif or shinwari ever. PSL should be the graveyard of such stupid players

 

[Asif321]

Shocking if we lose this

 

[Madplayer]

All depends on Malik now.

 

[fluke]

did anyone notice his dismissal is same as last match (same ball same short and same place) to get caught

 

[90MPH]

Asif Ali is a poor mans Abdul Razzaq.

He has been exposed at international level as totally 1 dimensional player.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Seriously wat a joke

 

[m.shah]

Asif Ali

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shocking if we lose this

I dont think we will lose.

 

[xricket]

Talat will cost us a match

 

[BhootKhan]

This match was over when Babar and Talat brought run rate down below 10. Our batsman aren't capable of scoring 12+ runs in the last overs.

U r blaming babar
. Woowww

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez>>Asif

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan should win it from here. It's a hard venue to defend.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan wasted many opportunities today.

 

[Madplayer]

Asif Ali is a poor mans Abdul Razzaq.

He has been exposed at international level as totally 1 dimensional player.

What an insult to even poor man's razzak. He is maybe the bacteria's abdul razzak.

 

[MRSN]

One of the most ugliest knocks I have ever seen. take a bow Inzi for selecting such mediocrity.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Would have thought Imad would come out.

 

[m.shah]

Surely we cannot lose against this very weak South African XI. This is about pride today, not the fake number one ranking.

Here comes he

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik should play this like spin. They will be bowling slow deliveries only

 

[QalandarFan]

This guy Andile needs to watch it, shouting at the ump.

 

[Barragan]

talat hits in the middle........ but straight to fielder

 

[jnaveen1980]

Once they started taking pace of the ball Pakistan has been struggling. Sohaib has to play some dinky shots to see his team through. You could still win the game from here. Just 2 big hits are needed.

 

[90MPH]

did anyone notice his dismissal is same as last match (same ball same short and same place) to get caught

Yes he’s done it at least 5 times.

Shows he hasn’t improved and 1 dimensional.

 

[aukhan]

Mian Malik is the only hope left.

 

[fluke]

we cannot win from here guys forget it

 

[Etherealistic]

If there is anyone who can save Pakistan from embarrassment, it's Shoaib Malik.

 

[saeedhk]

This is what you get when you include bits and pieces players like Talat and Asif.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hard for Malik too

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali should have hit that for 6.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Malik will score great 1's

 

[Asif321]

Still easy

 

[xricket]

What an insult to even poor man's razzak. He is maybe the bacteria's abdul razzak.

To compare him with Abdul Razak is an insult to the cricket

 

[MRSN]

What an insult to even poor man's razzak. He is maybe the bacteria's abdul razzak.

)

 

[Rana]

A six would be welcome

 

[ARK Rafay]

U r blaming babar
. Woowww

Sorry. Talat is to blame.

 

[shah_1]

Gully level

 

[BhootKhan]

Unfortunately not many who can hit any

Sohail Akhter

 

[Buffet]

Shocking if we lose this

Nah, with so many wickets in hands, game is pretty much won for Pakistan here. Just need to get hold of 4-5 balls.

 

[soulhunter]

How come umar akmal doesnt still make this team isntead of hacks like asif ali and talat , I have no idea

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Malik trying to be a hero

 

[Pete Rose]

Supposedly this is why we play Malik/hafeez: their experience

 

[MMHS]

I was wondering, if indeed this game was at J'burg, but Rameez was right actually - this is a slow wicket. I tend to judge pace of wicket from Asif Buttler's batting - if he doesn't hit few Sixes, it must have to be a slow wicket.

 

[pratiktc]

Hussain has to make up for his silly batting by finishing it

 

[QalandarFan]

This is gonna be hella hard to win now.

 

[mosh101]

Pakistan have bottled this one big time

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why does malik even play

 

[Inswing]

Cant believe that we have lost this

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

What a choke here by Pakistan.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

How come umar akmal doesnt still make this team isntead of hacks like asif ali and talat , I have no idea

Because coach hqs a problen with him

 

[xricket]

Talat will score a 50 and then want that to score a slot in ODIs

 

[Rana]

Come on Talat, A chance to be a hero here! Your name will be remembered for a long, long time if you win the game for Pak

 

[ARK Rafay]

Talat digging the bat in. Hope a ball connects. Otherwise, we've lost this Series.

So sad for Bobby's effort

 

[IAJ]

That shinwari over

 

[imshally81]

Match ka Mujrim... Talat..

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have been bowling at 105k to 120 k for the last few overs. Initially they gave Pakistan a lot of pace.

 

[aukhan]

did anyone notice his dismissal is same as last match (same ball same short and same place) to get caught

I have seen him many times getting out in the similar fashion.
