South Africa defeat Pakistan by seven wickets in 5th ODI to seal 3-2 series win

[Madplayer]

Malik should come on to bowl himself.

 

[Rana]

Let's see . Talk at the end of the game

No talk now. 107-2 in 16 overs, that too under lights, how was today not a 300+ wicket?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Get Hafeez or imad on for Gods sake

 

[imshally81]

Captaincy costing us big time

Sarfi bhai... Sarfi bhai... Where are u?

 

[Abdullah]

Fafs feet don't move at all when he starts. Ideal time to bowl Imad with the quick drifter s

 

[mahmed]

SA will finish early. Amir is finished living on past glory, Shinwari is once in a bloom moon type bowler, Junaid should replace Shinwari. Rizwan is not an international class.

 

[rhony]

DLS was ignited!! Colorful

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

To easy atm.

 

[Asif321]

Malik gone hiding

 

[Abdullah]

No talk now. 107-2 in 16 overs, that too under lights, how was today not a 300+ wicket?

Lights haven't taken effect at all yet.
No I don't think so. 270 was a winning score and we haven't controlled there dangerous batter. Actually we gave him a life

 

[rhony]

Looks like a Mexican that's racial stereotyping by Rambo

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If shadab bowls next over then malik is defo deluded

 

[Abdullah]

Pak is in deep trouble with lack of talent in batting and fast bowling! Not good middle order batsman and not good finisher who can hit big.

Fast bowling is slowly dieing art in the country that once prides sultans of swings!!

Lol

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shud of been Hafeez on instead of shadab and shadab on later when he wud have been more effective

 

[Green Patriot]

thats why

Doesn't negate the fact that he is still bowling rubbish and the wicket taking delivery was no peach either.

 

[Rana]

You want wickets up front, what is the use of Amir if he isnt opening the bowling for you?

Malik in one game's difference becomes the rubbish captain he ended up becoming in 2007

 

[castortroy]

Just compare the likes of QDK to Fakhar. One is arguably one of the best looking batters in the world. The other is as ugly as they come

Also, pak always lose deciders. Shouldn't be surprised

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I certainly cant watch anymore of this epic thrashing!!!!!

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez on...

 

[Madplayer]

Mike Haysman saying that Faf's strike is 108 at this ground when it showed 107.4. If a Pakistani player has a strike rate of 89.8 , Mike Haysman says that the strike rate is 89. I have noticed this trend throughout the ODI series. A minor thing among his general bias.

 

[Asif321]

Finally hafeez should have been bit earlier to dekock

 

[rhony]

Doesn't negate the fact that he is still bowling rubbish and the wicket taking delivery was no peach either.

If somebody is reverse sweeping u on evry ball, why wouldn't you change your length? As far as the wicket goes, short balls are tougher to play it looks like.

[Pakpak]

[MENTION=134505]rhony[/MENTION] QDC is half way there to his 100

 

[Savak]

Pakistan choked today in the decider. No excuse for Pathetic batting after the start Fakhar gave us. Shows that the players can't perform under the burden of expectations

Haan bhai toh wahan bacha kya?

 

[imshally81]

Where is imad?

 

[yuvi]

Hafeez is chucking again

 

[IMMY69]

Here’s the irony and it’s made even worse by Rambo’s earlier insight....

He actually had the Gaul to say that we are betting when chasing as we know what the target is...

Are we living in a parallel world?

We’ve never chased well and have always been a great defending side so what Rambo was going on about is beyond me...

But here’s the main point, Safaraz knows how to defend scores and that’s why we’ve been successful.

 

[Madplayer]

Where is imad?

Malik is feeling cold. So Imad isnt bowling.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO SARFARAZ AHMED
Those who desperately want Sarfaraz out of the team need to know Sarfaraz is the best Wicketkeeper batsman in Pakistan right now..

 

[Billa86]

Shinwari No-Ball to QdK adding salt to wound ..

 

[IMMY69]

We were short on runs and that is largely down to Malik and Rizwan.
However it is Malik’s illogical captaincy that is losing us this game.

 

[imshally81]

THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO SARFARAZ AHMED
Those who desperately want Sarfaraz out of the team need to know Sarfaraz is the best Wicketkeeper batsman in Pakistan right now..

And captain too..

 

[Mamoon]

Great bossing. South Africa will remember this for years to come.

 

[JaDed]

True, best man kept outside the team. He will come back

 

[Ahmed216]

Pak are now relying heavily on top 3.
When they dont fire this bits and pieces middle and lower order will take them nowhere

 

[Madplayer]

Rameez makes a good point. De kock middles almost everything.

 

[imshally81]

Great bossing. South Africa will remember this for years to come.

What do you say about malik captaincy... Is he better than sarfaraz.?

 

[Rana]

QDQ sweeping the floor with these sorry bowlers

 

[UP]

Thanks Shinwari

 

[Boi]

lol Shinwari is so crap

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari )

 

[shah_1]

Shinwari is a left handed Umar Gul

 

[Madplayer]

If there was a match winning innings, this is it.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Qdk

 

[jnaveen1980]

I told 1 hour of dekock will put pakistan away lol He is doing just that.

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari the new Wahab Riaz....

 

[Asif321]

Shinwari changed game in one over last match
And he does it again

By the way imad kaha hai

 

[Usman Chadda]

de Kock is mauling them now

 

[rhony]

Where is imad?

Imad's in the team for his bowling and if you don't bowl him, you are neutralizing his threat. If Imad is batting like this, he's a threat to Malik. They can just rely on Imad to bat and have a better batsman instead of Malik.

 

[Madplayer]

Making sure that he takes the game completely away from Pak.

 

[JaDed]

What an over lol, I'm sure next thread would be why can't Junaid/Abbas come instead of Usman, and then after they get thrashed, same reverse one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We have suffered at the hands of de kock enoguh. He made 3 centuries in a row against India first time.

 

[Asif321]

Finally imad too late

 

[Green Patriot]

Epic phainty.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish
The way these guys r bowling even 320 wud have been less

 

[Plumb]

What do you say about malik captaincy... Is he better than sarfaraz.?

No words.. they will defend crap as usual... First people advocated for Rizwan now they are hiding then they wanted Malik they will see in future too how ridiculous he is

 

[Chokli]

lol malik not bowling imad

 

[Khwaja78]

clueless bowling and worst captaincy. Can't even talk to the bowler which length to bowl de Kock.

 

[Madplayer]

Finally imad too late

He couldnt have done anything.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

deKock in brutal form...

 

[Asif321]

Where is maliks attacking field today )

 

[Plumb]

hahahaha even commies saying Imad coming too late. Great Captaincy MAlik

 

[Mamoon]

What do you say about malik captaincy... Is he better than sarfaraz.?

Two average captains leading average teams. End of story.

 

[Abdullah]

Can we get an extra man in the ring for du plessis pls

 

[imshally81]

No words.. they will defend crap as usual... First people advocated for Rizwan now they are hiding then they wanted Malik they will see in future too how ridiculous he is

Spot on
Rizwan is a certified crap....

 

[topspin]

Hafeez or Imad should be next captain.

 

[Ummii]

Pathetic captaincy, too late to bring Imad, it's all over

 

[Pakpak]

What an over lol, I'm sure next thread would be why can't Junaid/Abbas come instead of Usman, and then after they get thrashed, same reverse one.

You've seen that with Malik. Kamran. Umar.

Hence why our cricket is where its at. People are whining about Imam, if they drop him people here would be begging him to come back. Its how people here work.

 

[Billa86]

Imad comes onto bowl when the game is pretty much gone. I guess we have seen a very captaincy from Malik today whereas Sharfraz would have bowled him much earlier in the innings.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The issue with Malik has always been giving up too early as soon as things start going south.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

DLS was ignited!! Colorful

I couldn't believe he said that )

 

[UP]

I left this sorry match at 80/1. Thanks Shinwari for the no ball

 

[ILcricket]

chucking comes so easy to Hafeez .
Imad on , would like to see the kid Afridi at other end go full throttle . This match seems over .

 

[jnaveen1980]

De kock is "bossing" the game lol

 

[imshally81]

Two average captains leading average teams. End of story.

And what about rizwan in the comparison of Sarfaraz...?

 

[Billa86]

QdK on course to score 100. Thanks Shinwari, very much a rhythm bowler, nothing special.

 

[topspin]

One positive that should come out of this game - it's ended Shinwari's career or for a good while at least.

 

[Plumb]

Hafeez or Imad should be next captain.

Or write names of all the squad members and pick one name
