South Africa v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Centurion | 2nd April, 2021 | South Africa innings

[Nikhhil98]

Shaheen afridi is so so over rated

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Wong length by Hasnain.. nothing ball and thumped

 

[Mesozoic]

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shaheen afridi is so so over rated

Why so ?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even 90's SA had better players like Klusener and Gibbs

I meant middle order but yeah you are right. There still were the likes of Rhodes who could up the tempo whether required. This guy RVD will lose more often than win.

 

[Mesozoic]

Poor bowling from Hasnain.

 

[castortroy]

This hanain has looked average every time he has played international cricket

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Vd Dussen saves his best for Pakistan.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

275 looks ON.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I meant middle order but yeah you are right. There still were the likes of Rhodes who could up the tempo whether required. This guy RVD will lose more often than win.

Yes, South African cricket looks finished looking at the quality of cricketers they have now..

 

[castortroy]

Pak are dreadful chasers.

SA already have too much

 

[Hasan123]

Probably the conclusion then is SA doesn’t have enough quality cricketers.

Andile and Klassen are super average players. Miller is average too but at least he has that X factor like Afridi or Maxwell that they can overlook his inconsistency.

South Africa have a lot of quality players. You are just judging off this 1 game.

 

[Bigboii]

Shaheen afridi is so so over rated

Oh boy if he was getting a phainta that's another thing but just ok performance makes him overrated

You should watch more of him and than judge

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hasnain is quickly starting to become a pretty reliable bowler. Has been economical in his last few International matches and has shown real growth domestically as well.

Spoke too soon....

 

[Local.Dada]

Yes, South African cricket looks finished looking at the quality of cricketers they have now..

Looks like it but let me put it this way are Asif Ali, Abdullah etc better than V Dussen or Pehlu?

 

[Hasan123]

He is also a dogged batsman, therefore useful all rounder.

Yep. He's a good player. Some of the comments towards him ate baffling. His best against Pakistan. So how bad are we if we are letting him score?

 

[Mesozoic]

Phehlukwayo's batswing is scary... :

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Looks like it but let me put it this way are Asif Ali, Abdullah etc better than V Dussen or Pehlu?

Asif Ali NO but Abdullah? Too quick to judge already

 

[shariqnoor]

Just saw our team. We're playing with 3 batsmen. Lol. The allrounders start from 4. And even in those 3, one is Fakhar who is a hack.

Might as well played 11 all rounders.

 

[Rayyman]

What are you guys thoughts on the match so far?

 

[Rafa]

Yes, South African cricket looks finished looking at the quality of cricketers they have now..

SA will soon become the Zimbabwe of the 90s. Steyn, Faf, AB , Amla , Amla would be the last generation of strong Cricketers from SA.

 

[Hasan123]

Van der dussen is such a 90's ODI batsman. Too slow for the modern era.

He is 6th in the T20 batting rankings and has been batting mostly at 5 and coming in with 10 or less overs in. He can definitely accelerate.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Spoke too soon....

He bowled brilliantly upfront along with Shaheen.The real problem is Rauf

 

[Rayyman]

Nbc

 

[Hasan123]

What are you guys thoughts on the match so far?

Good comeback by SA. Pakistan bowled well at the start. Difficult to call who will win. SA bowlers will now know how to bowl on this pitch.

 

[Local.Dada]

Dussen looking for 100. Had this been a SC batsman, this forum would have exploded

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is 6th in the T20 batting rankings and has been batting mostly at 5 and coming in with 10 or less overs in. He can definitely accelerate.

He has a strike rate of 80 in ODIs. In 2021 that is terrible for a team that has a proud cricketing history like RSA.

 

[Bigboii]

What are you guys thoughts on the match so far?

My thoughts are

To get back to work and stop watching the game...

 

[ethan hunt]

Shaheen afridi is so so over rated

Ok Nikhil

 

[Hasan123]

He has a strike rate of 80 in ODIs. In 2021 that is terrible for a team that has a proud cricketing history like RSA.

Most of time he has come in when SA need to rebuild. Go and rewatch the SA vs NZ game at the WC, he accelerated brilliantly there.

 

[ChTab]

Brilliant comeback from SSA after a bad over.

 

[Rayyman]

My thoughts are

To get back to work and stop watching the game...

On a Friday morning

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Most of time he has come in when SA need to rebuild. Go and rewatch the SA vs NZ game at the WC, he accelerated brilliantly there.

That is no excuse. Most of the time, the likes of Pant and Pabdya came in after a top order wobble and look at their strike rates in the recent series.

 

[sindhiboy]

Rauf Atleast has got a few vital break throughs despite leaking runs

 

[sindhiboy]

Shaheen is the future akram.
Infact he is better than akram was at 20.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Babar should bring the field in

 

[Ahmed216]

Wonder how many centuries will asif ali score in his career with with Pak 55/4

 

[Hasan123]

100 for Van Der Dussen. Great knock.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Shaheen is the future akram.
Infact he is better than akram was at 20.

No he is not. If you ever watched Akram at 20...

 

[Rayyman]

Kya baat hai

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Why Dussen has only played 22 matches so far?
He is 32, should have played at least 100 by now. Looks solid.

 

[ChTab]

Decent chance for Pakistan to contain SA under 260

 

[Rana]

Much better bowler when he is bowling full and attacking the stumps

 

[Ahmed216]

That is no excuse. Most of the time, the likes of Pant and Pabdya came in after a top order wobble and look at their strike rates in the recent series.

Pant and Pandya usually play on roads in India. SA pitches are nowhere as good for batting.

 

[shamaan]

Top innings under preesure

 

[Local.Dada]

Asif Jordan

 

[Titan24]

Well deserved 100. SA would like him to provide a good finish in last 3

 

[Rana]

Well Asif's shadow was touching the boundary, maybe thats a six?

 

[imshally81]

Good efforts by Asif

 

[Sunzi]

Great knock to rebuild the innings.

 

[sindhiboy]

What an effort saved a 6

 

[Rana]

They need to stop bowling these off cutters to RVD

 

[Smudger]

Pant and Pandya usually play on roads in India. SA pitches are nowhere as good for batting.

And 100 for 3 is not a top order wobble

 

[Titan24]

Decent work from Asif Ali here

 

[shamaan]

Top effort by asif ali

 

[sindhiboy]

Why Dussen has only played 22 matches so far?
He is 32, should have played at least 100 by now. Looks solid.

And he only came into the side because ab de villiers retired

 

[Local.Dada]

Pant and Pandya usually play on roads in India. SA pitches are nowhere as good for batting.

Did you see Jadeja and Pandya play in Aussie LoI’s or Pant in Aussie test matches or Indian dustbowls vs England ?

 

[Hasan123]

Rabada has some ability with the bat.

 

[shariqnoor]

Hasnain continues to bowl length in the death overs.

 

[naseem]

Shaheen afridi is so so over rated

Everybody from Pak is over rated ..happy...???now enjoy the knuckles of shariful nd bhuvi

 

[Rana]

Ntini is the captain Safdar of commentary

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor from hasnain. He's been bowling length is last few overs. Top order players at both ends he would have gone for plenty

 

[Titan24]

Hasnain should avoid bowling in the slot here

 

[Rana]

Proper tailender

Man hit one shot and he needs a new bat

 

[topspin]

No excuses for Pakistan not to chase this. It's a low total.

 

[ethan hunt]

Hasnain should bowl most of his overs upfront at this stage of his development

 

[Local.Dada]

Everybody from Pak is over rated ..happy...???now enjoy the knuckles of shariful nd bhuvi

You think they won’t walk into the Pakistan side lol? Tell me who right now on current form would you pick over them

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Wrong bat was brought in by sub

 

[Rana]

Might as well throw all your fielders on the leg with RVD

 

[Rana]

Just clocked,

Rauf probably does 100 meters in 14-15 seconds.

 

[naseem]

You think they won’t walk into the Pakistan side lol? Tell me who right now on current form would you pick over them

Sorry local dada i m just becoming vocal 4 local....shariful Bhuvi r a strict no no....only Rohit and Bumrah bas

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic bowling.

 

[Local.Dada]

Just clocked,

Rauf probably does 100 meters in 14-15 seconds.

Doesnt he have to do that to pass yoyo tests?

 

[imshally81]

Why Rauf... Faheem is a better option...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rauf being good at the death is a big myth

 

[Ahmed216]

Did you see Jadeja and Pandya play in Aussie LoI’s or Pant in Aussie test matches or Indian dustbowls vs England ?

I compared the Indian pitches in ODI'S to SA pitches. 325 score is average score on indian pitches.

 

[Mesozoic]

Just where he wants it...

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Rauf bowling utter trash.

 

[Darkrai]

Why Rauf... Faheem ia better option...

Faheem was off-field, probably injured or something.

 

[Rana]

Doesnt he have to do that to pass yoyo tests?

I dont know what their fitness requirements are but I can sense this guy isnt an athlete at all, he relies solely on upper body strength.
