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

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This is a mediocre team.

Being number 1 ranked is not a easy task. If it was Afghanistan would be number 1. This is not a mediocre team, its lacking leadership. Malik is not a leader.

 

[xricket]

Shadab bowling too full. Almost full tosses. What is happening?

 

[Rana]

Hendriques and Faf partnership is going to be crucial for SA's chances at the world cup

 

[babajee]

Law of averages catching up with Pakistan?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Should send Asif to open with FZ.

 

[Rana]

Looks like shinwari isn't eating his lobia.

LOL he cant find it in SA

 

[shah_1]

Great batting

 

[Arham_PakFan]

100 partnership up.

200+ is on.

 

[Mueez]

We will chase this.

Fakhar has regained his form.

No worries for Pakistan.

 

[Plumb]

This isn't the T20 team without Sarfi

 

[troodon]

Shadab ineffective. Bowling lollipops.

 

[Mamoon]

Being number 1 ranked is not a easy task. If it was Afghanistan would be number 1. This is not a mediocre team, its lacking leadership. Malik is not a leader.

We are number 1 because we have played a grand total of 1 match against India (0) and England (1) in the last 3 years.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Small boundaries these! Fakhar has no excuse today... should blast their attack

 

[xricket]

It would be hard for Shadab to come out of this scarring which these proteas have done

 

[Mamoon]

Even when we win we're mediocre? Even when we're #1?

Not interested in our artificial ranking.

 

[Bubby]

Shadab bowling too full. Almost full tosses. What is happening?

Kuttapa is happening.

 

[rhony]

It would be hard for Shadab to come out of this scarring which these proteas have done

Naaa. This is how high scoring T20 games go. Pak should be ready to chase high scores.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Probably for the best that they decided to bowl on this wicket.

If they batted first, they probably would have settled for 140-150.

Saffers aren't settling for anything under 200 here.

A team with Rizwan, Talat, Malik don't give much of a hope to chase even 170 let alone anything over 200.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Not interested in our artificial ranking.

At least tell me what will satisfy you? #1 ranking or winning a freaking Champions Trophy also don't seem to do that!!

 

[Hbomb00]

lmao hussain psedurounder

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Talat )

 

[shah_1]

Talat is bowling lol

 

[rhony]

Pitch looks flat. 200 doesnt mean a winning score.

 

[ARK Rafay]

du Plessis to score his maiden 100 today

 

[Plumb]

HAHAHAHA master stroke from the best captain LOLLLLLLLLLL Talat bowling embarrassing Malik embarrassing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How many will Talat go for this over?

 

[babajee]

Talat should forget about his bowling.

 

[shah_1]

)

Comedy captaincy

Lets give everyone a chance

 

[Shandarchowka]

Talat

 

[xricket]

Hussain talat with a run up of shoaib akhtar. Why is he even bowling?

 

[Mamoon]

At least tell me what will satisfy you? #1 ranking or winning a freaking Champions Trophy also don't seem to do that!!

Maintaining a top 3 ranking in all formats for many years. That shows the true quality and consistency of a team.

 

[Titan24]

If a pacer can be dropped after a poor game why cant a spinner be dropped. There should be atleast one more spinner in the squad to replace Shadab as well when he is struggling with form, went for 70 odd run in the last ODI.

 

[Gullycricket]

Talat will be smashed here

 

[Plumb]

Malik supporters hiding in a deep cave

 

[a_tahir]

)

Comedy captaincy

Lets give everyone a chance

Might as well give Rizwan a bowl too

 

[ARK Rafay]

HAHAHAHA master stroke from the best captain LOLLLLLLLLLL Talat bowling embarrassing Malik embarrassing

He has hit the axe on himself. He just needed to copy Sarfraz's bowling tactics

 

[shah_1]

mike hayman is the worst commentators ever

 

[xricket]

Poor captaincy. Should call a spade a spade.

 

[Billa86]

This is some reality check for many Pakistan fans who thought we were No.1 T20 team.

 

[Plumb]

He has hit the axe on himself. He just needed to copy Sarfraz's bowling tactics

Common sense isn't that common..

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Poor captaincy. Should call a spade a spade.

This captaincy is a window to a dark dark past.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan in for a big chase.

 

[ARK Rafay]

My fear is they'll get 220+ which will be unreachable

 

[rhony]

Good comeback from talat. His runup is too long for his pace

 

[babajee]

This is some reality check for many Pakistan fans who thought we were No.1 T20 team.

Uhh no? We're winning this series.

 

[Mamoon]

This is some reality check for many Pakistan fans who thought we were No.1 T20 team.

Our fans will never learn. I guess that is why they are “fans”.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Saffers aren't settling for anything under 200 here.

A team with Rizwan, Talat, Malik don't give much of a hope to chase even 170 let alone anything over 200.

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.

 

[Plumb]

Reeza will be key player for SA in WC19

 

[shah_1]

Talat has a long run up and bowls 110 kph pies

 

[PakPremi]

Anybody missing Sarfaraz ????

I am but then I always supported him except for his racist remark and fact that he should not captain all 3 formats

 

[xricket]

Talat couldnt hit stumps when standing close to them. What a joke is this

 

[Usman Chadda]

This captaincy is a window to a dark dark past.

Anyone is a better captain than Sarfraz, ANYONE

 

[Gotham Cronie]

This is some reality check for many Pakistan fans who thought we were No.1 T20 team.

Yawn.

Similar posts were being made after Australia beat Pakistan in the 1st match of the T20I tri-series.

 

[troodon]

Talat reminds me of Stuart Binny.

 

[Gullycricket]

Talat bowls similar to Stonis

 

[Shandarchowka]

Maintaining a top 3 ranking in all formats for many years. That shows the true quality and consistency of a team.

Agreed but they got a start right.. now #1 team in T20s and they will improve as they keep playing tests and ODIs. We are developing a good core around Babar. Why won't you give they boys a chance at least with some positivity?

 

[ILcricket]

6 overs to go . 210 on .

 

[shah_1]

We will lose this match

 

[Banter]

who's fatter ? Hussain Talat or Tabraiz Shamsi?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How many will Talat go for this over?

14 it was!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Talat bowls similar to Stonis

Only fact is Stoinis is 10x better than Talat

 

[Mueez]

And the wrist-slitting has started...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan going England way of 1990 , packing team with bits and pieces players . Results also same

 

[ARK Rafay]

who's fatter ? Hussain Talat or Tabraiz Shamsi?

Shahid Afridi :lala

 

[xricket]

Odd thing though, Pakistani players have put more game in hair styles than the cricket itself, at least in this tour

 

[Mamoon]

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.

 

[Plumb]

Malik will soon be tearing his hair off... hahaha. His supporters should help him in this process

This isn't the no1 team without Sarfi SIMPLE is that

 

[YousafTheBeast]

No bowler is being spared, proper sizzler shot from faf

 

[a_tahir]

Babar really needs to show he is the no.1 player now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Faf is paying tribute to de Villiers

 

[Billa86]

Faf what did you eat for lunch.

 

[Snowflake]

Wouldn’t have waited for 2 weeks had we played India.

Okay, that literally is one of most childish retorts I've ever read )

 

[shah_1]

220 runs

 

[Mamoon]

Agreed but they got a start right.. now #1 team in T20s and they will improve as they keep playing tests and ODIs. We are developing a good core around Babar. Why won't you give they boys a chance at least with some positivity?

Nothing is going to happen.

 

[rhony]

SA looking for 220. Only 1 wicket down. Not so good bowling on flat decks

 

[Justcrazy]

Talat is a another mediocre player

 

[Gullycricket]

Faf what a player.Such mix of attack and defence

 

[Rayyman]

Yeh kya hua?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Anyone is a better captain than Sarfraz, ANYONE

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.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're awfully bad in this game so far.
