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

[Omer2002]

Already better control than shadab

 

[Rana]

Looks alright, perfect type of cricketer as an overseas professional

 

[Hasan123]

Decent over.

 

[Rana]

Even Fakhar can bowl few overs of left arm spin if required. He gives it a decent flight and gets good drift

Oh no man he is just the off spin version of Kuldeep Yadav

Miller will enjoy him like he is enjoying a buffet at Nawabs

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

If Danish can do this for 4-5 overs, he will be pricelesss

 

[Hasan123]

If i remember correctly. Afridi dropped VC Sarfraz for majority of his tenure as T20 captain in 2015/2016. It can be done. It will be opposed by United mafia but Babar needs to take a stand. Usman and Zahid should play ahead of him.

Well our selector said Shadab is VC so it's difficult to drop him.

 

[Rana]

Rip snorter by Rana

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Faheem looks the 2nd most threatening after Shaheen in this line up

 

[Rana]

Rana 'Asif' Ashraf

 

[Hasan123]

It was stupid most decision to appoint him VC of the side.

It doesn't look a smart move right now.

 

[sindhiboy]

Rippers from faheem

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Oh no man he is just the off spin version of Kuldeep Yadav

Miller will enjoy him like he is enjoying a buffet at Nawabs

I mean if he can get through 2-3 overs with 10-15 runs, that will be enough

 

[Rana]

Faheem looks like the banter sponge of the team. Top lad!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can see SA seamers enjoying this surface to later on.

 

[Omer2002]

Looook at fagrem klusener...imagine their bowlersss...forget them i am wondering what pakeweloo will bowl like here...i had him as only weakness

 

[Hasan123]

This pitch seems to suit Faheems bowling . Will be interesting to see how he does on quicker pitches.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan keeping like Pant today

Maybe he is worried that he has to bat in the middle over

 

[Rana]

Short and wide garbage

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for Rassie, well played.

 

[Mamoon]

If AB and Amla had the nerves of VVD, South Africa would have won a World Cup in their era.

 

[Rana]

Sunday is pink day, have our boys decided to keep up with it and prepared a pink jersey for this day?

 

[MenInG]

300 a possibility?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If AB and Amla had the nerves of VVD, South Africa would have won a World Cup in their era.

AB was run out in 2011 and played perfectly in the 2015 semi. Agree about Amla. But they still wouldn’t have won

 

[Rana]

300 a possibility?

They are on course for 320+ at this rate

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

300 a possibility?

No, one wicket here and we can book them under 250

 

[Markhor]

Asif Ali drop proving costly. Van der Dussen has rebuilt nicely with Miller.

 

[Ahmed216]

300 a possibility?

I don't think so. A wicket will change things drastically

 

[Rana]

Asif Ali drop proving costly. Van der Dussen has rebuilt nicely with Miller.

Asif Ali doesnt drop sitters, oh wait...

 

[Smudger]

If AB and Amla had the nerves of VVD, South Africa would have won a World Cup in their era.

What did this rassie guy did in 2019 wc?

 

[PakPremi]

SA edging toward a decent score against the unpredictable Pakistan. Pakistan needed Usman Qadir in the middle overs to eek out couple of wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

SA could get 270-300 here.

 

[Markhor]

Will need a few more overs from Danish, bowl out Shaheen, Hasnain, Faheem and Rauf.

Shadab shouldn't bowl another ball on this tour.

 

[Rana]

Looks like we have to bowl 5-6 overs of Shadab and Rauf here...

 

[Rafa]

For 300, Miller will have to stay till the end. So Pakistan must pick his wicket asap.

 

[Rana]

How tall is Danish? Looks about 6'1

 

[Rafa]

But it looks like SA will get a decent score by the end of the 50th over, at one stage they were under the threat of getting skittled under 150.

 

[Ahmed216]

Danish is a better bowler than Shadab

 

[Rana]

Danish meant to be our long term replacement to Harris Sohail?

 

[imshally81]

Better over by Danish

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Boundary leaker back on

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shadab and raufs poor efforts with ball so far is costing pakistan here.

 

[Rafa]

Think SA will reach 200 by the 40th over and look to smash 85-90 runs in the last ten.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rauf is a garbage bowler.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Will need a few more overs from Danish, bowl out Shaheen, Hasnain, Faheem and Rauf.

Shadab shouldn't bowl another ball on this tour.

He should be dropped from the Pakistan squad altogether. His bowling has been useless for a long time now, and he's not worth his place on batting alone.

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch has got better n better

 

[Omer2002]

That was a run out oppertunity missed too

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lucky wicket but a necessary one

 

[ChTab]

Rauf should never play for Pakistan again.
He's garbage with the ball, is an awful fielder.

 

[Rana]

Huge wicket

 

[sindhiboy]

Vital break through from rauf

 

[Omer2002]

Finally

 

[Rana]

Rauf should never play for Pakistan again.
He's garbage with the ball, is an awful fielder.

He might have taken the biggest wicket at the most crucial time in this game

 

[aukhan]

Danish has already outperformed shadab in this match. Imad Wasim would have have performed well here.

 

[Gullycricket]

Haris Grunt

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Add Shadab and Hasan are as well. Shadab is going through a bad patch..

They will be even better when they replace Rauf with Hassan. Pakistan does not need the extra third seamer who bowls 87+

Rauf doesn't look threatening even though he is the fastest.
Bring in Amir for Rauf and your LOI pace attack will be as good as any.

 

[Omer2002]

Now bring back shadab to bowl his last 2 overs and get him off

 

[Amjid Javed]

Finally much needed wicket.

 

[Hasan123]

Big wicket.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Rauf does the trick.. Beast with the old ball.. Where are the haters?!

 

[shamaan]

Finally a wicket

 

[Hasan123]

SA should aim to bat all the overs.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rauf does the trick.. Beast with the old ball.. Where are the haters?!

Seriously? He bowled a random delivery wide outside off

 

[shamaan]

Well done to babar for the change

 

[ChTab]

He might have taken the biggest wicket at the most crucial time in this game

Yeah my stream is around 4 balls late , I wrote that comment when he leaked boundary in this over.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

That wicket brings down South Africa score by 30 runs

 

[Greenstorm]

Danish meant to be our long term replacement to Harris Sohail?

That's Saud.

 

[Rana]

Average first innings score is 220 apparently on this ground

Have they not played ODI cricket here since 2014?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Add Shadab and Hasan are as well. Shadab is going through a bad patch..

Rauf does the trick.. Beast with the old ball.. Where are the haters?!

Ordinary delivery nothing great about that

 

[Titan24]

That was really important time to get Miller who could have been the difference between a medium/high and a really high score at this stage.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Bobby on the attack!

 

[ChTab]

Rauf does the trick.. Beast with the old ball.. Where are the haters?!

Currently, he's operating at 6.5 RPO. This was without any doubt a lucky wicket.

 

[sam_ahm]

In ODIs batting is now easiest from 11th to 40th over... Hence almost invariably we see good partnerships during this stage.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rauf

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Phehlukwayo is another parchee, Wiaan Mulder is way better.
Where are the Janneman Malans and hamzas we were promised.

 

[castortroy]

Rauf is such a spray gun

 

[Ahmed216]

What a shot from phek ke lao early in his innings

 

[MenInG]

Ordinary delivery nothing great about that

Check the scorecard.

 

[Mesozoic]

Nortje, Ngidi, Shamsi....that tail is worse than India's.

Phelu creams one through....

 

[AAli98]

Rolf Haris seems like a shameless individual gives away 200 runs batsman plays a poor shot & celebrates as if his won a World Cup !!

 

[Titan24]

In ODIs batting is now easiest from 11th to 40th over... Hence almost invariably we see good partnerships during this stage.

Agreed and thats the case with most ODI tracks with two new balls and reverse not coming into play much and only 4 fielders allowed outside.
