South Africa v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Cape Town | Feb 1, 2019 | South Africa innings

[ARK Rafay]

Faf what a player.Such mix of attack and defence

He was always under the shadow of de Villiers

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Damn.. the game we needed Hafeez in he ain't fit.

 

[Justcrazy]

In 20 overs you need to have 5 quality bowlers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

On this wicket with these boundaries, trying to chase 200 in the second innings is probably the better option than trying to defend 140/150.

We'll see I suppose.

 

[Billa86]

Not sure if Sarfraz would have done anything diffident in similar situation, when batsmen play such shots, one has to admire, sit back and appreciate the innings

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our implosion under Sarfraz in ODIs post Champions Trophy should tell you that this not about captaincy. This team is not good enough. Plain and simple.

Malik has made some radical changes to the established T20 plan. Although yeah, I doubt Sarfraz would have done much with the bowlers bowling either side of the wicket at the same pace.

 

[Zeshan547]

Field placing is like it's inviting Saffers to get easier boundaries, Best captain, My foot,,, Something just doesn't seem right and normal, This is record breaking Phainty

 

[troodon]

Everything looks so easy out there for SA.

230 on cards here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Miller will come next

 

[Gullycricket]

Shadab needs rest

 

[Ahmed216]

Looking at this team composition I can safely say cricket is a dying sport in Pak

 

[UP]

Match over for Pak.

 

[Plumb]

Not sure if Sarfraz would have done anything diffident in similar situation, when batsmen play such shots, one has to admire, sit back and appreciate the innings

don't agree, when you give batsmen the sniff of playing such shots they will play. Correct bowling changes and putting pressure on the opposition is the key in shorter formats

 

[ARK Rafay]

Malik's face hahaha

 

[Shandarchowka]

We're going to lose this me thinks. Hopefully Babar can get a goos score and be ready for the next matches..

 

[xricket]

Why don't we have such pitches in PSL. Also, this lightning fast outfield? In PSL, pitches are rather slow

 

[Mp812]

run rate of 10 per over

 

[Billa86]

T20 rankings should be taken with pinch of salt. Absolute carnage from SA batsmen. I bet when Pakistan come out to bat, we will make it look like minefield...

 

[shah_1]

Malik should forget his dream to captain again after this series

Sarfraz must be smiling even though result wouldn't have been different

 

[asadee]

For starters Sarfaraz wud have batted first

 

[Harshu814]

don't agree, when you give batsmen the sniff of playing such shots they will play. Correct bowling changes and putting pressure on the opposition is the key in shorter formats

Makes little difference when batsman comfortably goes for 6 in almost all bowlers ... Really mediocre level bowling

 

[Boi]

Malik captaining as if he doesn’t want the captaincy

 

[Gullycricket]

Waste review

 

[rhony]

Gooone!!!

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Malik should forget his dream to captain again after this series

Sarfraz must be smiling even though result wouldn't have been different

Pakistan have yet to bat

 

[Justcrazy]

None of Pakistan pacers can bowl 140 consistently.

 

[Greenstorm]

We can still keep them below 200.

 

[Billa86]

Well played Faf

 

[TalhaSyed]

Lol was it Waqar who coined this phrase. I hear it a lot on here but don't know where it stems from.

Yup the legend himself

 

[Plumb]

Makes little difference when batsman comfortably goes for 6 in almost all bowlers ... Really mediocre level bowling

when position for settled bowlers changes things do change similar to position of batsmen changes..

 

[Harshu814]

None of Pakistan pacers can bowl 140 consistently.

In t20 nowdays bowlers mostly uses slower balls, they r not mixing 135s and 105s

 

[Gullycricket]

Lets make a hero out of Van dussen

 

[rhony]

Thats good for Pak. Dussen instead of Miller coming in

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Whaytttt a catch


RIZWANNN

 

[Madplayer]

Can Pak chase 220?

 

[Justcrazy]

I am surprised Malik holdon to that catch

 

[ILcricket]

target around 190 now . 3 down .

 

[Banter]

That's a brilliant catch by the keeper.

 

[Madplayer]

Shinwari is such a momentum bowler. If he gets momentum he can run through a side.

 

[rhony]

Terrific catch....Get Killer Miller now

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pak chase 220?

No. Unless someone plays innings of his life

 

[Gullycricket]

Great catch

 

[Plumb]

regardless of result of the match. Malik shouldn't be in ODI/T20s PERIOD.

 

[Hbomb00]

Thats good for Pak. Dussen instead of Miller coming in

Damn nothing going our way...

 

[iPakistani]

Mohammad Rizwan what a catch!!!

 

[Shandarchowka]

2 wickets in 3 balls...

To all the trolls

 

[rhony]

This wicket right here is crucial. Gotto get Miller

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

It was a 1st slip catch.

 

[Markhor]

Fahim and Shadab exposed. No development since CT.

 

[Mueez]

This Shinwari is special.

Lacks some bowling IQ at the beginning but is an awesome middle overs bowler.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Do you remember the Misbah days when Irfan was the leader bowler, dross like Shafiq and Abdur Rehman in the team? Same tactics match in match out, going through the motions.

Losing with dignity was the moto.

I do, but the rondu crowd is too young to remember those times. Which is why they have 'standards'.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shinwari is such a momentum bowler. If he gets momentum he can run through a side.

A bit like Steyn

 

[Greenstorm]

Shinwari is such a momentum bowler. If he gets momentum he can run through a side.

just like Guldolzer used to do.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a top catch by Rizwan

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shinwari is such a momentum bowler. If he gets momentum he can run through a side.

That's why is so similar to Umar Gul.

 

[Plumb]

This Shinwari is special.

Lacks some bowling IQ at the beginning but is an awesome middle overs bowler.

brought in too late.. all bowling changes were completely messed up

 

[asadee]

Shadab body language is way too casual for my liking

 

[Madplayer]

No. Unless someone plays innings of his life

Fakhar is the only one who can do that

 

[Plumb]

A bit like Steyn

really???

 

[Billa86]

No trolls. Just a reality check. We need to accept this, we cannot beat decent oppositions, that's pretty much a proven fact. We may here or there have freakish performances and fans comparing us to India or the best team. We lack consistency to be taken seriously in any cricket format.

 

[Mueez]

brought in too late.. all bowling changes were completely messed up

Oh I don’t know.

Tuned in when Pakistan was bowling it’s 10th over.

 

[Gullycricket]

We are comfortably ahead in rankings

 

[rhony]

Fakhar is the only one who can do that

Momentum is with Pak now. Gotto restrict sub 180 by picking Miller here

 

[Greenstorm]

Hassan should just bowl yorkers.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Miller always chokes on the big occasions

 

[Usman Chadda]

This Shinwari is special.

Lacks some bowling IQ at the beginning but is an awesome middle overs bowler.

Think that boundary off Hendricks earlier summed him up. Fine leg up, and he proceeds to bowl a slower bouncer right at his body, only to be helped down to the boundary.

He needs to generate some serious pace to compensate for such stupidity.

 

[Plumb]

Fakhar is the only one who can do that

waiting to see what hack Asif can do...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Where is Chacha Cricket? Haven't seen him for a while.

 

[Plumb]

need to some how restrict them to 180

 

[Madplayer]

Momentum is with Pak now. Gotto restrict sub 180 by picking Miller here

Miller's wicket is the key here. Could be a difference of atleast 20 runs.

 

[Mueez]

Yeah this is where he needs to work on with the coach.

Learn to bowl according to the situation.

 

[rhony]

Miller's wicket is the key here. Could be a difference of atleast 20 runs.

Atleast. Pak can chase 180 on this pitch

 

[Madplayer]

waiting to see what hack Asif can do...

Oh i wouldnt bet a penny on him. He is an inferior version of afridi.

 

[Baigel]

What if Asif opens today and scores a 70-80

 

[Plumb]

Oh i wouldnt bet a penny on him. He is an inferior version of afridi.

lots of PP supporters of Asif thinks he will win us the WC19

 

[ARK Rafay]

Talat showing his Worth

 

[Mueez]

Let’s hope Asif has a very good new years resolution...

 

[Madplayer]

Talat better score a 30 ball 100 today

 

[Gullycricket]

lots of PP supporters of Asif thinks he will win us the WC19

He is our Butler

 

[Harshu814]

Its not just pak , in t20 no team can hold any fort , any team can win any day.

Since its all about couple of wicket taking or slogging overs going successful
