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

[Coolcapri]

Need wicket in regular interval to restrict them.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Good field placement from Babar

His field placing has been v good. But against spinner I would keep the field up to stop singles.

 

[sindhiboy]

Why take Danish aziz off?
First ball 4 off shadab

 

[Coolcapri]

Faheem nu nazar lag gayee

 

[Ahmed216]

A spinner should at least be able to contain runs in these conditions. Shadab is a joke

 

[IAJ]

Why not bowl Danish and extra over and hence complete 10 overs by spinners?

 

[Nado_]

Oh why Shadab again !!!

 

[Hasan123]

Look Bavuma is not going to be a Joe Root or Kane Williamson in LO cricket, but saw some people say he is the worst player ever or something along those lines. That is ridiculous. He can have a good LO career in my opinion. Would not have him as captain but he can prove some of us wrong as he has until 2023.

 

[Coolcapri]

His field placing has been v good. But against spinner I would keep the field up to stop singles.

He will learn.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Oh why Shadab again !!!

No other choice

 

[shah_1]

Shadab is a liablity right now

His batting isn't good enough

 

[Hasan123]

Very under-rated batsman.

Yep. If he gets some big scores in tests which he is capable of, he will get more praise.

 

[imshally81]

Shadab getting some treatment...

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This guy Dussen is a decent bat.. ODI average 80+...

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shadab is a good T20 bowler but for ODI i will go for Usman here. Shadab can chip in for 5 overs max

 

[Hasan123]

Apprentley Rassie can't accelerate.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Shadab needs to bowl a lot better

 

[Coolcapri]

Shadab needs to be drop from next match.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

50 up for Shadab Warne..

 

[Ab Fan]

Club level bowling from Pakistan.

 

[ian173]

Cricviz says no chance

 

[Coolcapri]

He looks low on confidence.

 

[Nado_]

No other choice

Could have carried on with Danish, at least the batsman were taking risks when scoring boundaries, Shadab just giving it to them on a plate!

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

oh wow!!!! man this is some shot.. Hugggee SIX!!!!

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Getting destroyed now

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Can't afford to let rassie accelerate at this stage.. Poor bowling!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shadab weakness is that he cannot deceive batsmen.

 

[Greenstorm]

This can get ugly.

 

[Hasan123]

Bavuma and Van Der Dussen are toying with Shadab. Imagine what Bairstow,Roy, and Morgan will do to him.

 

[Coolcapri]

Phanti started, unless we take wicket its 350 on the card.....

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

[MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] bhai yeh Dussen ne teri baat di pe leli..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Not sure what Hasnain intends to achieve by bowling length at this stage to a set batsman. Low IQ at full display here.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Will be some chase if we manage it

 

[lahoriyah1234]

330 is definitely chaseable here, its a belter of a pitch.

 

[Coolcapri]

Bavuma and Van Der Dussen are toying with Shadab. Imagine what Bairstow,Roy, and Morgan will do to him.

I think shadab can handle baristow/roy its the left hander morgan he will struggle.

 

[castortroy]

As predicted, this is going to be 1-1

Pak don't have the consistency to win 2 games back to back against good opposition

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Bavuma and Van Der Dussen are toying with Shadab. Imagine what Bairstow,Roy, and Morgan will do to him.

That will be destruction at current rate

 

[sindhiboy]

I knew hasnain would go for runs.
Rassie looking very dangerous.

 

[Hasan123]

Bavuma should give up on tests and concentrate on LO. He looks much more convincing in LO than tests.

 

[shah_1]

Shadab is very lucky it is not England. They destroy spinners like him

 

[Hasan123]

I think shadab can handle baristow/roy its the left hander morgan he will struggle.

He can't handle any of them. That's the truth right now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Not sure what Hasnain intends to achieve by bowling length at this stage to a set batsman. Low IQ at full display here.

He bowls very wide too.. always trying to hit keepers gloves rather than stumps

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pink day pitches has been the highest scoring pitches in SA till dateZ

 

[Coolcapri]

Its a beauty of a wicket to bat on, Gr8 quick outfield, If Babar gets in, We are up for a treat to watch.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Have to say I'm surprised with Bavuma.. Never rated him

 

[castortroy]

Shadab is trash

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shadab is trash

If he continues like this he will be shown door sooner than later.

 

[Mesozoic]

Why is Shadab still bowling?

 

[imshally81]

Shadab.. Very low IQ leggie

 

[UzmanBeast]

One thing to note is that since Sarfaraz's departure, Shadab's bowling form has deteriorated significantly.

I think it's because Sarfaraz was in more control of Shadab's bowling than Shadab was himself. He used to shout from behind the stumps where to bowl, what to do, what not to do, etc.

It seems like Shadab hasn't figured out how to adjust and what type of bowling is proper for a given situation.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring Sarfaraz back if Asif can't hold onto his place.

 

[ethan hunt]

Why is hasnain trundling.
You are a young guy just have the heart to bowl fast.

 

[Ahmed216]

This could be out

 

[Usman Chadda]

Just watching this bowling, you get the feel that these guys are just running up to bowl without any game plan. Mindless bowling machines.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Who reviews this *

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

bad review..

Yes bring back sarfraz so that shadab finds his bowling form again

 

[ethan hunt]

Shadab is finished as a bowler.
Danish the part timer looked better

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Woh pata chal jaye ga when Pakistan bats.

 

[sam_ahm]

With 8 wickets in hand South Africa will post a mammoth score here, in the 1st ODI Pakistan kept picking wickets not the case here.

 

[Hasan123]

50 for Van Der Dussen.

 

[Mesozoic]

VDD on fire...

 

[OldWarHorse]

Shadab has been ordinary

 

[Usman Chadda]

Woh pata chal jaye ga when Pakistan bats.

Not to be a pessimist, but we aren’t chasing a 300+ total with Danish and Asif as our middle-order bats. Any other half decent team would have done well, yes.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

People bashing Shadab here.. To be honest with 2 new balls all spinners are struggling these days on flat wickets without any turn on offer..
Spin bowling is being killed by this rule.

 

[Greenstorm]

Why is hasnain trundling.
You are a young guy just have the heart to bowl fast.

He has stamina issues. Two ODIs within 3 days is showing.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Not to be a pessimist, but we aren’t chasing a 300+ total with Danish and Asif as our middle-order bats. Any other half decent team would have done well, yes.

We can take this series in the Final game

 

[Ramsay]

Hasnain

 

[Ahmed216]

Dahani is a better bowler than hasnain..

 

[Ab Fan]

This is such a small ground. Flat belter.

Poor decision from Pakistan to chase here.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Yes bring back sarfraz so that shadab finds his bowling form again

Not necessarily.

With regards to Shamsi in the middle overs, Sarfaraz isn't a bad option as he can bat well against spin.

Plus most of the suggestions Sarfaraz gives from behind the stumps are not bad, so it could help the other bowlers too.

Right now, there's nobody on the team for Babar to learn from, or get advice from. Sarfaraz would be a better option compared with Asif in my mind.

If there were more options, I'd certainly be open, but the fact remains that Sarfaraz might be needed on this tour.

 

[Hasan123]

This guy Rassie is good man. Can adjust his game to the situation and is so composed.

 

[Greenstorm]

No need for Hasnain and Shadab to finish their quota. Give the next one to Danish.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Dussen has been a bit more funky today.. Learnt quickly from last time that he needs to be a bit more aggressive..

 

[IAJ]

Our batsmen will play some good shots, everyone will be happy including the players themselves and they have not stamina to play proper cricket for longer period of time and will start giving away their wicket trying to be cute. And we will lose by some 143 runs.

 

[Mesozoic]

Hasnain.... )

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hasnain need backing and experience must not be dropped, such phanti can teach you alot.

 

[shah_1]

Babar is such a poor captain. Why didn't he use Danish Aziz a lot more in the middle overs?

 

[Coolcapri]

Why husnain bowling short,:

 

[Saj]

Boy did they need that wicket.

Problem is Miller in next.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is such a small ground. Flat belter.

Poor decision from Pakistan to chase here.

Chasing on a flat wicket is the way to go these days. It’s another thing Pakistan doesn’t posses the firepower needed to do what is the norm nowadays.
