South Africa v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Johannesburg | 10 April 2021 | South Africa innings

[Fazzy321]

200 is on

 

[Hasan123]

Markham batting against pace at the death is worrying.

 

[MHN1293]

I'd much rather an opposition score a large score over getting bowled out cheaply. There's no fun in the match when a team has to chase 100 odd in 20 overs. On the other hand, when you have to chase 170 - 200, there's that excitement of 'Okay, let's see what happens', and it's so much more enjoyable

Are you guys in the same boat, or would you prefer SA getting bowled out for 100 odd here (hypothetically)

Seeing Sa score 200 would most likely mean an instant loss for pak. A 180 run chase will be pretty exciting and challenging.

 

[Zeshan547]

Frightening to think what full strength saf team would have done to this bowling.

 

[Abdurmirr]

Exactly why we should have Rizwan behind the stumps

 

[Sunzi]

Well taken Rizzy. Good thinking from Nawaz to follow him. The dangerous Markram goes! Vital.

 

[Hasan123]

Nawaz strikes again. Poor from Markham, just needed to see this over off.

Good catch by Rizwan.

 

[Shaka81]

Nawaz really showing up the terrible bowling by Qadir today.

 

[Hasan123]

Frightening to think what full strength saf team would have done to this bowling.

Miller and QDK vs Rauf.

 

[Titan24]

Should get more or around than the average score of 182 after this platform.

 

[MHN1293]

Nawaz is doing way better than th specialist spinner qadir.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nawaz gets Markram

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Frightening to think what full strength saf team would have done to this bowling.

Not much they would have done the same,

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Smart smart bowling. Reminds me of Hafeez in his prime. Less spin but intellegent bowling

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Thank god. Nawaz has been brilliant, need to slow this down

 

[Hasan123]

George Linde is also a dangerous hitter.

 

[Saj]

Smart catch that by Rizwan.

Good awareness.

Qadir bowling half-trackers every other ball.

 

[Hasan123]

Nawaz is done after this ball.

 

[Devadwal]

Nawaz> imad

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Now SA will struggle to get to 170.

 

[sindhiboy]

Janneman single handedly saving South African cricket

Correction: markram single handedly saving South African cricket.

Brilliant innings from him

 

[Sunzi]

Brilliant spell from Nawaz

 

[MHN1293]

Excellent spell from nawaz

 

[Titan24]

Nawaz has been the only one who has atleast hit the good lengths and bowled with some accuracy, rest have been all over the radar.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Smart catch that by Rizwan.

Good awareness.

Qadir bowling half-trackers every other ball.

Not every bowler going to have a good day. Relax its on T20

 

[Hasan123]

Markham should be kicking himself. He would have taken apart Rauf here.

 

[MHN1293]

Haris rauf and first ball boundaries.

 

[Shaka81]

Haris Rauf back to give easy back of the length hit me bowls...

 

[Rajdeep]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was so correct about Rauf...a nothing bowler. Why Pakistan is persisting with him? Wahab is a much better bowler than Rauf

 

[Hasan123]

This is some awful bowling. He is just running up and hoping for the best.

 

[Sunzi]

This awful from Rauf.

 

[sindhiboy]

18 an over from Haris )

 

[wajid]

Team needs to find a reliable rauf replacement fast..

 

[IMMY69]

Rauf = Wahab Mark 2 only less pace and less IQ

 

[Rana]

The type of wicket Sharjeel Khan would have feasted on

 

[IMMY69]

Pitch it up man...

Bowl Yorkers

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Rauf lala yeh kya kar rahe ho.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was so correct about Rauf...a nothing bowler. Why Pakistan is persisting with him? Wahab is a much better bowler than Rauf

Time always proves me right but people still try to argue with me and don’t want to listen to me.

I will not be around forever. Make use of me until you can.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Team needs to find a reliable rauf replacement fast..

They should try arshad and wasim khan.

 

[Fazzy321]

Has Pakistan ever chased 200?

 

[Shaka81]

Not every bowler going to have a good day. Relax its on T20

That's a terrible mentality. Every game, every format is important and too many Pakistani bowlers not having a "good day" regularly is why they struggle to win games consistently.

 

[IMMY69]

Why hasn't Fahim bowled yet?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Wahab will always be better than this Galli Muhalla Phast bowler Haris.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Good comeback after that 6

 

[Afhan Ali]

Time always proves me right but people still try to argue with me and don’t want to listen to me.

I will not be around forever. Make use of me until you can.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] what do you think about Nawaz?

 

[Rana]

Why hasn't Fahim bowled yet?

He’s going to be sent to the next post code here

 

[IMMY69]

He’s going to be sent to the next post code here

Further than Rauf?

 

[Hasan123]

Qadir is being taken apart.

 

[MHN1293]

Rauf should from on only be restricted to the last 8 overs. Hasan and shaheen will be much better in the middle overs.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] what do you think about Nawaz?

As I have been saying for years, he is underrated by Pakistani fans and management because he has been treated like a second class citizen compared to Imad and Shadab.

He is actually a better cricketer than Shadab and should be competing with Imad.

Giving him recognition is the only good call M. Wasim has made in his tenure as selector.

 

[Fazzy321]

Linde still to come

 

[Rana]

Further than Rauf?

Even further I recon. Worth a try though

 

[Hasan123]

It’s obviously not SA first team, but these players know these conditions and have played many times here.

 

[Sunzi]

Qadir tossing up garbage. I'd have split his overs with Hafeez.

 

[Rana]

Oh God Lord Faheem is on

 

[Mamoon]

Always a joy to watch the rubbish Usman Qadir getting a reminder of why he was booted out by Australia.

His honeymoon period is over. He is not international material and never will be. Just a talentless, entitled individual who plays victim because his father’s name did open the doorways that he thought it would.

 

[MHN1293]

So rizwan and babar will open to chase down a 210+ score.

 

[Rana]

Klaasen is in Brock Lesnar mode right now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nawaz looked very ordinary in the Asia Cup back in 2018. Seems to have improved both in terms of batting and bowling. Can somebody point out the changes?

 

[Hasan123]

These SA batters are using to hitting pure pace on this ground. Our answer is to bring Faheem on lol. Hope it works out.

 

[wajid]

Pathetic bowling by full strength team against less than half strength team

 

[Rana]

Need to get this form of Klaasen out now if they want to chase less than 200

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pak missing the economical Shadab here.

Need to keep SA short of 200 somehow.

 

[Hasan123]

Van Biljon now getting going lol.

 

[Fazzy321]

Faheem to get a wicket of Klaasen

 

[King-Misbah]

Nawaz looked very ordinary in the Asia Cup back in 2018. Seems to have improved both in terms of batting and bowling. Can somebody point out the changes?

He is still ordinary, Hafeez is much better.

 

[Hasan123]

If Klassen bats till the end , don’t rule out 230.

 

[MHN1293]

Full toss almkst catches a wicket

 

[Shaka81]

Terrible fielding, easy catch dropped!

 

[Fazzy321]

oohhh nearly

 

[Sunzi]

Looks a straight forward catch TBH.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Nawaz bowled well, probably the only bowler who bowled with his brain.

Too many boundary balls were given.

Yes they're batting well, but if boundary balls were taken away South Africa would be in a much more manageable place.

 

[AAli98]

What a joke of a ground top edges clearing the boundary not by inches but yards

Dread to think wat paks best hitter Hassan Ali will do here !

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is still ordinary, Hafeez is much better.

He had a great QEA season and his left arm spin has looked very effective. Hafeez is useless while bowling legally.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Perhaps Babar needs to use an over of Hafeez. It seems as though fingerspin is working on this wicket.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Joburg is like Lahore Pitch.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hassan ali will take wicket here

 

[MHN1293]

Stop bowling short to klassen

 

[Ahmed216]

200 is par score in these conditions

 

[Hasan123]

Klassen is a devastating hitter.
