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

[bluevision]

Can't rule out a collapse still. SA needs to cross 200 to feel secure

 

[topspin]

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

Picking anyone out of the hat is better than Sarfraz

 

[Abdullah]

Guys stop wrist slitting. De cock can do this to u.
Can't give chances to players like that. He was gonna click once in the series

 

[Pakpak]

Can't rule out a collapse still. SA needs to cross 200 to feel secure

Come on yaar, game is done

 

[JaDed]

True I can never bank on Saffers to finish off from here.

 

[Usman Chadda]

de Kock has single-handedly destroyed Pakistan's hopes today.

 

[imshally81]

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

And Rizwan's career too..

 

[Boi]

What a catch from Hasan

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Asif321]

Hassan takes the catch

 

[Mamoon]

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

Rizwan should be given more chances.

 

[rhony]

Gooone!!!!!

 

[Saurav]

Hasan Ali

and they didnt play him

 

[JaDed]

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.

Its lesser now, I feel posters who have been here from long ,have realized that's not how it works, but yes the new posters always make such threads.

 

[Boi]

Choke is on boys

 

[Usman Chadda]

de Kock you idiot

 

[a_tahir]

You can't take Hasan Ali out of the game.
EVEN THOUGH HE ISN'T EVEN PLAYING

 

[Haripotter]

The best bowling attack in the world is getting served with easy wickets

 

[Green Patriot]

Late hgya Usman.

 

[Plumb]

I thought hasan ali neck had problem lol he picked up the most difficult catch where neck played huge role

 

[rhony]

Pak is back in the game. Get Duplessis and game is yours!!!

 

[Asif321]

What a innings by kock sahab

 

[Buffet]

Last established pair for SA here.

 

[ManFan]

Why Hasan has been dropped for two games in a row I’ll never know.

 

[JaDed]

Come on yaar, game is done

See how it goes now, SA can't take pressure that well too.

 

[ManFan]

De Kock has gotten back into form.

Not surprisingly, it is against Pakistan he has made amends.

 

[Zeshan547]

only Pak or Saffers can pull of defeat from such commanding position

 

[topspin]

Get Faf out now and this will get tough for SA.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

, bit late though

 

[Justcrazy]

D Kock gone

 

[Plumb]

Yes Rizwan should be given more chances according to experts... everyone should get chance to bottle pak games. equal opportunity for losing pak games

 

[Mueez]

Choke is on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Look at SA batsmen mindset to score at every oppurtunity compared to our feeble batting.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Now dont let dussen settled. He is very fine player

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

59 runs too late

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan are 30 - 40 runs short on this surface. These days you need to get to 300 to have a chance , 230 - 250 are nearly impossible to defend

 

[Plumb]

Ouch!!!! that's gotta hurt

 

[topspin]

Spinners have gone for 49 runs off six overs. It seems Pakistan still can't find decent LOI spinners after ICC's clampdown on chucking 5 years ago.

 

[Pakpak]

See how it goes now, SA can't take pressure that well too.

We need them 6 down before 200 even then

 

[shariqnoor]

Need a hattrick here basically.

 

[IMMY69]

Now bring back Shadab...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Lol at the those guys who think saf will choke frm here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Both Reeza and QDK have thrown their wickets here. PAK bowlers didn't look like they could buy a wicket. Reminded me of Asia Cup a bit. But now there's a good chance that Saffers will choke and PAK will have their tails up.

 

[Billa86]

The only way Pakistan are to win this even with 1% of chance.. Bowl out South Africa.

 

[Plumb]

Pakistan are 30 - 40 runs short on this surface. These days you need to get to 300 to have a chance , 230 - 250 are nearly impossible to defend

Malik+Rizwan 41(74) against 125kph bolwers enough said

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If only pak had 300 on board

 

[austerlitz]

This shinwari guy runs in like he's going 150kph.Bowls mid 130s.Lol.

 

[topspin]

Hoping Pakistan can get one of them to Faf it up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's perhaps time to look ahead to the 3 T20's instead

 

[a_tahir]

Malik+Rizwan 41(74) against 125kph bolwers enough said

Add shadab as well makes it even worse.
61 (114)

 

[Pakpak]

Both Reeza and QDK have thrown their wickets here. PAK bowlers didn't look like they could buy a wicket. Reminded me of Asia Cup a bit. But now there's a good chance that Saffers will choke and PAK will have their tails up.

It'd be a micacle if they choke from here

 

[Pete Rose]

Did the umpires have a chat with Malik about the state of the ball

 

[Madplayer]

Mike haysman can give your ears cancer.

 

[imshally81]

Whole Pakistani team thrown their wickets too...

 

[Buffet]

Irresponsible batting by both. Playing shots are fine, but they were not chasing 350 here. SA has weak last 6 here.

 

[Plumb]

Only if Imad was brought in place of Shadab earlier

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It'd be a micacle if they choke from here

If there's any top 6 team i'd back PAK to beat in such a situation, it would only be RSA.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Trolled.

 

[Madplayer]

Shinwari gives it his all. Except brains.

 

[topspin]

We saw in the last game once you dismiss Amla, Faf, QDK and VDD their batting falls apart.

 

[Square Drive]

Aren’t you are life long member of the Malik Fan Club??

Imad should have been bowling 10 overs ago.
Shadab should have been held back until the 18-20th over and Hafeez should have bowled a few by now particularly to de Kock.

No I'm not.

Stop getting emotional.

He went for wickets. Right move.

 

[topspin]

No I'm not.

He went for wickets. Right move.

Certainly seemed like an emotional outburst to me, well said.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We are mediocre.

 

[Mueez]

Get these two before 200, game is ours!

 

[sivanand82]

Key for PAK is to get du Plessis out.SA have long and inexperienced Tail.

 

[Savak]

Only way to win is wickets. Need that Shinwari 4 wickets of 6 deliveries burst

 

[Madplayer]

Champion bowlers come to the fore in pressure situations. Lets see if Shaheen can do it.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shaheen look tired already

 

[BDfanforever]

Irresponsible batting by both. Playing shots are fine, but they were not chasing 350 here. SA has weak last 6 here.

How are those 3 all rounders? Heard Moulder has good FC stats, but dont recall if it was for bowling or batting?

 

[Madplayer]

Only way to win is wickets. Need that Shinwari 4 wickets of 6 deliveries burst

He can do that against tail enders only.

 

[Saurav]

Good time to bowl Shadab

 

[topspin]

Shaheen look tired already

Too much Peshwari naan and chapli kebab I suppose during in the innings break

 

[austerlitz]

Pakistan's great next wasim trundling at 129kph lol.This afridi guy was supposed to bowl 150 kph acc to PPP.

 

[ILcricket]

Mike haysman can give your ears cancer.

I see , there must be a MUTE button ?

 

[imshally81]

Ball isn't reversing...

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Over throws?? They are not serious anymore.

 

[Asif321]

This SA team is quite weak don’t see them making it to semis of WC

 

[Madplayer]

I see , there must be a MUTE button ?

I dont like watching the match on mute. I want to hear good commentary and the buzz in the ground.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan is very inconsistent team.

SA cruising along here

 

[Billa86]

From this ODI series, only Shaheen has been impressive, even Imam to an extend, rest of the team are bunch of mediocre cricket wannabees.
