South Africa v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Johannesburg | 4th April 2021 | South Africa innings

[Coolcapri]

Need D Kock wicket asap or they gona make huge total, I think D Kock been lucky as few closes call & one ball hitting wicket but bails didn't come off.

 

[Hasan123]

There is no need.

Quinto os ticking the score card. As long as you bat at a rr of 5 its ok.

Power hitting with miller can compensate you in the end.

First odi sa lost becauee of throwing wickets

Quinton De Kock has now got going but he was struggling a bit when Bavuma came in. Bavuma can't keep playing dots now.

 

[Cricket World]

Some rubbish bowling by Shadab

 

[imshally81]

So SA main players are leaving for IPL after this ODI..

 

[Hasan123]

England got a hold of Kuldeep and Chahal and they absolutely destroyed them. Imagine what they will do to Shadab.

 

[JibranAnsari]

how much of the south africas team will be absent for t20 series? they are going for ipl?

its a bit odd that they asked for an extra t20 and are going to play with a depleted squad.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need hasan amir and a specialist spinner in this bowling line up for world cups in India

 

[ExpressPacer]

Who is this commentator that is really struggling?

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan has to decide whether they want bits and pieces cricketer like Shadab or genuine skillful spinner like Usman

 

[Coolcapri]

Its looking bit to easy for SA, Need to stop boundaries of every over, They will not be under any pressure as long as boundries coming. Shadab common you are better than this. Use to be wicket taking option and now its like least threating of all bowlers.

 

[Concerned]

SA heading towards a decent score.

The match should not be over at 50 overs, Pakistan need to learn and chase +320 scores to be a force.

 

[Coolcapri]

Better over from Shadab

 

[PakPremi]

Bavuma has been solid if not spectacular.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This is belter pitch, Good SA team would have scored 400 here.

Pakistan will be lucky if they chase 340 here.

 

[Coolcapri]

SA heading towards a decent score.

The match should not be over at 50 overs, Pakistan need to learn and chase +320 scores to be a force.

That would be good test for pak batters.

 

[Nov15]

Who is this commentator that is really struggling?

Ntini

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Need de kock urgently

 

[Ahmed216]

This is belter pitch, Good SA team would have scored 400 here.

Pakistan will be lucky if they chase 340 here.

300 should be mora than enough for Pak

 

[shah_1]

Huge total on the card

Why did we bat second? Is it easier to bat on 2nd innings otherwise it makes no sense

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Rauf and Asif ali aren’t 50 over players, Nawaz and Haider should have played here. Haider would have had a good pitch to bat on.

 

[Coolcapri]

This is belter pitch, Good SA team would have scored 400 here.

Pakistan will be lucky if they chase 340 here.

Yes i also feel SA is bit conservative, Pak needs to hang in there and if they bowl well in 2nd half its game on. Don't let D kock take the game away. More bowl played by Bavuma is better for Pak.

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan has to decide whether they want bits and pieces cricketer like Shadab or genuine skillful spinner like Usman

Shadab and Fahim provide batting advantage and also chip in with good enough bowling performance. The three main bowlers should do bulk of wicket taking.

 

[Greenstorm]

One of the fast bowlers has to step up and bowl a really quick intimadating spell here. This is the wicket to do it. Otherwise we will be chasing 330+ which means game over with Imam and Asif in there.

 

[Ahmed216]

Huge total on the card

Why did we bat second? Is it easier to bat on 2nd innings otherwise it makes no sense

Yes it is easier to bat 2nd innings on SA wickets in day matches. With the early morning moisture pitches tend to be sticky for 15-20 overs

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Yes i also feel SA is bit conservative, Pak needs to hang in there and if they bowl well in 2nd half its game on. Don't let D kock take the game away. More bowl played by Bavuma is better for Pak.

For Decock, I would ask shadab to bowl over the wk and allow him to hiy against the spin.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I think 1 or 2 wk here and SA will collapse

 

[Indiafan]

how much of the south africas team will be absent for t20 series? they are going for ipl?

its a bit odd that they asked for an extra t20 and are going to play with a depleted squad.

They will miss next ODI too, all Ipl Players leaving after his match

 

[Ahmed216]

A half tracker or two every over from Shadab. Pathetic bowler

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

320 on the cards.. Need quick wickets

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Haris sherrrrr

 

[Greenstorm]

Rauf taking another important wicket.

 

[PakPremi]

Rauf and Asif ali aren’t 50 over players, Nawaz and Haider should have played here. Haider would have had a good pitch to bat on.

Pak have three pace bowlers in Fahim, Shaheen and Hasnain. They can easily play two spinners, but I would drop Haris for Usman Q but he is not in the ODI squad I think. As I write Haris takes a wicket.

 

[90MPH]

Finally De Kock luck runs out.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

They will miss next ODI too, all Ipl Players leaving after his match

IPL and PSL should have a window of players available from all the countries. These 2 leagues have highest numbers of viewership in the world.

 

[Coolcapri]

Yes finally.

 

[PakPremi]

A half tracker or too every over from Shadab. Pathetic bowler

Every spinner does that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think its time to give usman qadir a chance in odis.

 

[Coolcapri]

For Decock, I would ask shadab to bowl over the wk and allow him to hiy against the spin.

I think he is struggle to adjust with left/right combo, maybe d kock wicket will help him.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Haris can be devastating with his pace against all teams if he can develop a little more consistency

 

[imshally81]

Oh.. Rizwan again

 

[Greenstorm]

Rizwan has been poor today.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Dropped ??

 

[Ahmed216]

Every spinner does that.

Not every over

 

[90MPH]

That could have been a huge wicket, maybe Keeper was too deep ?

 

[IAJ]

A long partnership is broken, should try to keep them under 300 here.

 

[asadee]

Dropped short

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan has been tremendous this innings.

 

[Thanos]

Rizwan having bad day in office

 

[Ahmed216]

Dropped ??

Did not carry

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Swung a bit.. And he is bit too deep as per Pollock.

 

[IAJ]

That could have been a huge wicket, maybe Keeper was too deep ?

He was given a life in first ODI as well and went on to punish us.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I have never seen Kumble, Warne, Murli bowling short of length deliveries, may be when they got tired, Warnie was a great ODI bowler. Sometime is better to watch these players videos.

 

[Coolcapri]

Common Rizwan what is going on with you.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Did not carry

Yup.. just tailed down..

 

[Bewal Express]

Let's see if Haris has learnt anything from the previous games and today he bowls full. He has a good seam and when it's up he looks twice the bowler.

 

[sindhiboy]

That's a drop. Haris could have been on a hat trick. Rizwan has shelled 2 catches.

The Ball is suddenly moving alot now.

 

[Greenstorm]

Haris can be devastating with his pace against all teams if he can develop a little more consistency

He has real potential and must be persisted with. Gets unnecessary hate around here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I have never seen Kumble, Warne, Murli bowling short of length deliveries, may be when they got tired, Warnie was a great ODI bowler. Sometime is better to watch these players videos.

If only watching videos could make Shadab 1/10th as good as Warne

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Its hard to predict ball carrying on this wk.

 

[Bewal Express]

Common Rizwan what is going on with you.

Too far back. It was also a problem in England.

 

[90MPH]

The ball did carry, it just dipped inwards but the keeper was too far back.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Rizwan is our best keeper in ages. Every keeper drops a catch here and there. Even Gilchrist used to here and there. The latest one dropped short so its not even his fault.

 

[Bewal Express]

He has real potential and must be persisted with. Gets unnecessary hate around here.

He has to show growth in his game

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan is our best keeper in ages. Every keeper drops a catch here and there. Even Gilchrist used to here and there. The latest one dropped short so its not even his fault.

He is standing too far back

 

[shariqnoor]

There's no way Usman Qadir does not make the team ahead of Shadab as a leg spinner. Shadab should go the Shoaib Malik route and become a proper batsman otherwise there's no place for him in the team.

Shaheen needs to up his game because he's utterly useless after those initial 4-5 overs with the new ball. With the old ball he's just a Imad Wasim at 138kph.

With the bounce on offer here, seems like our batters would struggle a lot. Needed to restrict them below 250. Don't think that'll be the case now.

 

[IAJ]

Yup.. just tailed down..

I am not watching the game, but cricinfo suggests it was a missed chance and Rizwan should have taken it?

 

[Bewal Express]

Rizwan is our best keeper in ages. Every keeper drops a catch here and there. Even Gilchrist used to here and there. The latest one dropped short so its not even his fault.

He is a great WK but has a weakness and that is standing too far back.

 

[Greenstorm]

He has to show growth in his game

He has shown a lot of growth considering where he was few years ago.

 

[naseem]

RAuf making a good comeback....Rizwan doing too much of ...over action......spilling another chance

 

[lahoriyah1234]

He has to show growth in his game

Relax bhai jaan. Ho jata no one will perfect day on the field every day.

 

[sindhiboy]

Rassie is already looking dangerous

 

[Coolcapri]

Again Dussen gone away on zero

 

[90MPH]

Honestly, Shadab has become a nothing bowler.

I wouldn’t even consider him for part time use, because he’s too ineffective at both taking wickets and steming runs.

We need 1 proper spinner and one batsman that can bowl part time spin.

Shadab is not good enough, not even close.

 

[IAJ]

There's no way Usman Qadir does not make the team ahead of Shadab as a leg spinner. Shadab should go the Shoaib Malik route and become a proper batsman otherwise there's no place for him in the team.

Shaheen needs to up his game because he's utterly useless after those initial 4-5 overs with the new ball. With the old ball he's just a Imad Wasim at 138kph.

With the bounce on offer here, seems like our batters would struggle a lot. Needed to restrict them below 250. Don't think that'll be the case now.

Totally agree. He should focus mainly on his batting and just bowl if captain needs a few overs in. He is a tremendous fielder as well, so if he can work more on his batting he should be good enough for a no 6-7 slot.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I am not watching the game, but cricinfo suggests it was a missed chance and Rizwan should have taken it?

No it just dropped in front. Did not reach Rizwan.
Commentator said he is a bit too deep.

 

[Coolcapri]

Dussen ku flipper marna chahiye, need to set him up, Common Shadab.

 

[Bewal Express]

He has shown a lot of growth considering where he was few years ago.

Of that there is no doubt but since has played for PK his desperation to bowl short on good wickets isn't working and is costing the team too many runs.

 

[PakPremi]

England got a hold of Kuldeep and Chahal and they absolutely destroyed them. Imagine what they will do to Shadab.

Shadab has often outperformed Kul-Cha. England did not do much against Shadab in World Cup game if I remember correctly. He is not bowling badly today either. Its not like he is leaking two 6s every over. He also would had the wicket if bail dropped.

 

[mrtaim3]

How awful is the commentary in this series!!
