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

[Green Patriot]

Gonna save it for 40th over

It's on

 

[IMMY69]

No no no

Not Shadab!!!

Imad or Hafeez

 

[Snowflake]

Amir should not be starter in the WC XI.

 

[aukhan]

Amir mufta proving costly again....cant bowl decently.

 

[sindhiboy]

amir is good for t20s and sena tests. odis and tests in subcontinent, he is ineffective

 

[Green Patriot]

No venom at all.

He looks done with cricket.No passion either.

Harmless and boring to watch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SAF got wat they wanted a quick start as they knew tha it wud get tricker later on. Now pak need to pull im back by getting 2 quick wkts

WHy do you think it gets trickier later? There is no Ajmal or anyone to bowl. This is not even close to a spinners pitch.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

270-280 was minimum on this pitch. What an anti-climax final this is.

 

[CricketDon]

PP new darling shadab on and gets smashed to the ropes

 

[Madplayer]

He doesn;t even try. You don't get swing with wobbly seam. And he does it more often than not. Seems like his IQ has dropped.

True. Looks disinterested. Just going through motions at best. I think he has simply lost the will. And stamina seems down too.

 

[aukhan]

Amir will lose us this game.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Now pak will have to bowl saf out to win. They havw to many bowls left to lose completing 50 overs

 

[a_tahir]

Another last game decider lost by pakistan. smh

 

[Madplayer]

He looks done with cricket.No passion either.

Harmless and boring to watch.

Exactly. Looks like he doesnt want to be out there. A total trundler these days.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Its all over. SA will probably chase this 4 down.

 

[Buffet]

SA has very weak last 6 here. Pakistan is always in this game.

 

[Madplayer]

Gentle 135 kph gun barrel straight. No pace no bounce nothing.

 

[aukhan]

Amir should be out of the team after this tour. Hasan ali should have played today.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

True. Looks disinterested. Just going through motions at best. I think he has simply lost the will. And stamina seems down too.

the fact that he was dropped and now demoted from the new ball hasn't helped him recover. He is done.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Such a sad end to a great ODI SERIES

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Too much phainty

 

[rhony]

SA has very weak last 6 here. Pakistan is always in this game.

This. 2 more wickets and theres not much batting left

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Deary me this is a thrashing

 

[Snowflake]

Kya obsession hai short pitch bowling se, yaaar?

Wobbly seem and just going with the angle - that's what Amir is all about these days. Nothing happening

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need 2 quick wickets. INSHALLAH

 

[aukhan]

Leader of bowling attack my foot. Amir is enjoying free rides.

 

[Mueez]

Need 2 quick wickets. INSHALLAH

InshaAllah!

 

[a_tahir]

Why does amir have such an attitude?
Does he think he's wasim akram?

 

[Plumb]

Relax people too much game left.. spinners gotta play role here couple wickets and pakistan is IN

 

[Indiafan]

Amirs grunt at his pace is hilarious

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir oohing and aahing.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Kya obsession hai short pitch bowling se, yaaar?

Wobbly seem and just going with the angle - that's what Amir is all about these days. Nothing happening

Amir was finished after 2010. It was end. Failed investment.

 

[a_tahir]

Relax people too much game left.. spinners gotta play role here couple wickets and pakistan is IN

Mate people said that in the second odi too. But never happened

 

[Dark_Horse]

True. Looks disinterested. Just going through motions at best. I think he has simply lost the will. And stamina seems down too.

He will surely look interested in PSL. He should have played bpl rather than for Pakistan easy money by bowling 4 overs rather than stopping some youngster from debuting

 

[IMMY69]

For gods sakes bring Imad on...

 

[topspin]

Amirs grunt at his pace is hilarious

Grunting like a baboon in a zoo

 

[Madplayer]

He will surely look interested in PSL. He should have played bpl rather than for Pakistan easy money by bowling 4 overs rather than stopping some youngster from debuting

Looks a poor man's bowling machine. Gun barrel straight minus the perfect line and length.

 

[Snowflake]

He really thinks he's going to get a wicket with these cutters? Amir is so infuriating these days!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

The once great M.Amir.. Nowhere to be seen now

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Dont understand what now days pakistan fast bowler learned from our past greats. 2 Ws was a great examples on how to work on your game, not having pace in your bowling will nevr make you a great fast bowlers. Amir have lost it completely.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

De. Kock out ho ja bhai

 

[Asif321]

We don’t have any leader of pace attack
Abbas in test that’s it

 

[IMMY69]

Why the hell is Malik not brining Imad on???

What’s going on here?

 

[hafeezrocks]

Boring match no contest

 

[Madplayer]

Three reverse sweep shots in a row

 

[Haripotter]

By the looks of it , Pakistan is certainly bossing this series against South Africa

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Too painfull to watch.

 

[Usman Chadda]

These two look comfortable. Will take something special to win from here.

 

[Asif321]

Without Sarfrazs fish market voice from behind its boring

 

[topspin]

Oh well at least we didn't get smashed like Bangladesh did here in this format.

 

[imshally81]

Why the hell is Malik not brining Imad on???

What’s going on here?

Missing Sarfaraz here...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Only 161 required

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shadab doesn't rely on flight. It is hard to do well on surfaces which doesn't offer much.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Amir was one of the reason we lost that rain effected match he came and neither stopped the runs nor tried to get wicket. He is Parveen Kumar of Pakistan

 

[lahoriyah1234]

So called PP here was praising malik captaincy. How can u not know SA choke against spin and yet u bowling fast bowlers on SA.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh well at least we didn't get smashed like Bangladesh did here in this format.

This comment belongs to the thread "You know things are bad when...." lol

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Too painfull to watch.

Understand your pain. Aaaaah

 

[Madplayer]

Speed gun shows 135 but Amir's deliveries dont look more than 120 for some reasons. No pace through the air.

 

[rhony]

Shadab doesn't rely on flight. It is hard to do well on surfaces which doesn't offer much.

He gives decent air. Bowling too full here though. They are all scared of getting hit now

 

[rhony]

Ohhhh Almost!!!

 

[Snowflake]

The captaincy doesn't look that impressive when things aren't going your way, does it?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kya parhwa ke aaye hain aaj

 

[IMMY69]

They are cruising at 7 runs an over.

Pathetic captaincy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Speed gun shows 135 but Amir's deliveries dont look more than 120 for some reasons. No pace through the air.

It is an important point people miss. Not all 130k release speeds get to batsman at the same speed once it pitches. It depends on how much he puts on the ball. Pandya's 130k hurries the batsman a lot more than Vijay shankar's 130k.

 

[Madplayer]

SA playing t20.

 

[rhony]

AMir's trying something different. Any reason why he isn't bowling any slower balls anymore?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

135/6 would be nice. Jinx

 

[neonoir]

Hafeez needs to come on and hold the run rate, another 10 overs of these two the game is over!.

 

[IMMY69]

The captaincy doesn't look that impressive when things aren't going your way, does it?

I’m really lost for words here..

Shadab’scovers bring wasted and Imad, who bowls with a new ball, hasn’t even come on yet.

 

[Haripotter]

 

[iRfaN_LA]

fat lady singing already.

 

[Madplayer]

Exactly. Thats why Amir looks so innocuous.

 

[Zeshan547]

Shady being Shoddy,,,, What a match he is having,,, Superstar in the making

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shinwari is the reason for our loss today he let saf of the hook and now theyre streaming

 

[Dark_Horse]

AMir's trying something different. Any reason why he isn't bowling any slower balls anymore?

He is already bowling slow

 

[jnaveen1980]

He gives decent air. Bowling too full here though. They are all scared of getting hit now

Not enough. He has to hang it in the air above eye line

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shadab you superstar joker..... seriously wata a nutter

 

[Haripotter]

:FOUR shadab the legendary bowler getting tonked

 

[saabir]

I'm Missing Sarfraz commentary behind the wickets. Never a dull moment when he is keeper.

 

[hafeezrocks]

SA are in a hurry
