South Africa v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Johannesburg | 12 April 2021 | Pakistan innings

[Fazzy321]

Think you need 20 more runs as an extra cushion considering Rauf factor

Rauf not playing

 

[Local.Dada]

It only took him 42 years

But in all seriousness, I agree - he looks like a key player for us in this format.

As they say Der aaye, Durust aaye

 

[ha5is12]

Ramiz Raja world class coms:
"Lizaad showed a lot of spunk in the last game"

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Rameez.... "Williams showed a lot of spunk....is a good package..". Sometime I wonder whether he's doing it deliberately

 

[Gullycricket]

Markram can learn from Bobby. Everyone can including Kohlu

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This same strip was used for the last match so it will be harder to score. 150-160 might be enough here.

 

[Devadwal]

Hafeez to score 70-80 with 180 Strike rate

 

[imshally81]

4444...Good shot

 

[Local.Dada]

SA won’t be able chase anything over 150 max against Usman,Nawaz and May be Hafeez if he bowls.

 

[Gullycricket]

Rambo: Janeman there Lol

 

[Fazzy321]

Hafeez should be saved as secret weapon for Wt20 in india

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Rameez is a very nice subtle troll

 

[Sunzi]

Decent recovery - need to continue. Babar doing Babar things; recovered his own rate well and complimenting Hafeez's knock.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Hafeez should be saved as secret weapon for Wt20 in india

His powers are not a secret anymore. Teams will come prepared for him. He is one of our 3 best batsmen.

 

[Titan24]

Need 10 rpo from here.

 

[ChTab]

This game should be enough for the supporters of the fixer who were so desperate for his inclusion in the side.

 

[imshally81]

Not out.. I reckon

 

[Ahmed216]

That was a lovely cut shot from babar... I think kohli's watching

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

How did Klassen think that was out )

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

That's inside. And safe. Edit: No foot in the air, but still gets benefit.

 

[Local.Dada]

Bach gaya

 

[Fazzy321]

Not out but close

 

[Sunzi]

Just safe IMO.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Rameez.... "Williams showed a lot of spunk....is a good package..". Sometime I wonder whether he's doing it deliberately

It's definitely deliberate, he's not as gormless as he sounds on commentary.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

That was a lovely cut shot from babar... I think kohli's watching

Kohli needs to learn to play spin from Babar

 

[Local.Dada]

How did Klassen think that was out )

Because he doesn’t have slow mo replays like you and me

 

[Fazzy321]

His powers are not a secret anymore. Teams will come prepared for him. He is one of our 3 best batsmen.

I meant in terms of his bowling

 

[Sunzi]

Then again, agreed, I noticed his foot slightly off the ground. Third umpire didn't roll it through to see if the foot generated a puff of dust/return back to the ground.

Make it count Babar, oy!

 

[imshally81]

444

 

[Abdurmirr]

What kind of rubbish is this from Babar. Batting at a strike rate off less than 100

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Hafeez time, folks.

 

[OMB]

Hafeez should be saved as secret weapon for Wt20 in india

What secret. It is Hafeez performing more and more now. Others play strong in one innings and fade away.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Prof is turning it on here

 

[NeVerMind]

Hafeez version 3.0 is something else....

 

[Local.Dada]

Jeez, don’t know what Hafeez took or developed since WC 2019 but looks like a totally different player.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Hafeez special. Babar needs to hit boundaries

 

[RajBan]

Must say Hafeez is playing wonderfully. He has reinvented himself and in the form of his life. Every shot is perfectly calculated in his mind.

 

[Sunzi]

Beauty from Hafeez.

I love the 3.0 name ha ha ha.

 

[OMB]

It's definitely deliberate, he's not as gormless as he sounds on commentary.

Probably practiced it y'day and just waiting to unleash

 

[Local.Dada]

SA and Zim in the 90’s used to have outstanding fielders. Even the average players were great fielders
SA fielding these days looks so pedestrian. Zim the less said the better

 

[Gullycricket]

Jeez, don’t know what Hafeez took or developed since WC 2019 but looks like a totally different player.

Golf

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar missing out on easy ones

 

[NeVerMind]

Probably practiced it y'day and just waiting to unleash

Couldn't keep it in..bubbling to erupt...

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow hafeez is playing with finesse of an artist. Likes of pandya and all can only dream of playing like this

 

[Fazzy321]

No attempt at sixes so far

 

[Gullycricket]

Klassen has realised how bad Phelu is

 

[sindhiboy]

George linde bowling like nawaz

 

[NeVerMind]

Golf

And CPL where he saw WI players just practicing big hitting off 100 balls, technique be damned...

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Sunzi]

Need to start teeing off - we're at least 20 less than where we should be at this stage. At least...

 

[ChTab]

This is beyond Pathetic from Babar, playing at a S/R of 93 in a T20 is just not acceptable.

 

[castortroy]

Game over now

Will be lucky to get 140 here

Awful batting

 

[Devadwal]

Professor out

 

[Gullycricket]

Man Ravindra Linde is on fire

 

[sindhiboy]

Linde is goat ed

 

[Titan24]

Linde with a 3fer

 

[Hasan123]

If Rizwan was doing what Babar is now,yall would blame Rizwan for Hafeez dismissal.

Babar can get away with these type of knocks but no one else can.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nazar lag gayi....too much praise for Hafeez....will be lucky to cross 150 now...

 

[Local.Dada]

Gone. Pak need to promote Hassan Ali, he can do some damage against these Trundlers and parttimers. Let’s see if they can think out of box

 

[Fazzy321]

Just typical Pakistan

 

[Sunzi]

Yaaaaar.

 

[imshally81]

Haider joins the party... 444

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I need Haider to do well here and cement his place. Starts off well

 

[Gullycricket]

Haider has no excuses today

 

[Ozeirk]

We have 4 games, good chance for Haider Ali to prove himself.

 

[Titan24]

Babar missing out on easy ones

Problem is the bounce which is more than Pak batsmen are used. I think they have adapted decently in the series but, despite that have missed on some scoring shots.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar missing out on literal pies

 

[Fazzy321]

Need few big overs

 

[UzmanBeast]

Poor batting by everyone so far.

Babar is batting pathetically to say the least.

Hafeez at least tried to keep the run rate going.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I don't follow IPL so cannot comment regarding the Cricviz stat. However, Rohit and to an extent Kohli are very capable hitters yet I am yet to see them go ballistic from ball 1.

Our approach is very conservative considering the pool of players we have for white ball cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

Today is Haider day . what a qay to open account

 

[Smudger]

Babar is so exciting to watch

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Problem is the bounce which is more than Pak batsmen are used. I think they have adapted decently in the series but, despite that have missed on some scoring shots.

It’s his 5th game on the tour. No excuses

 

[Local.Dada]

At the risk of sounding racist, how come the new white players like veryanne and now Linde start performing immediately but every new colored cricketer looks like a quota pick.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar hasnt been himself today

 

[castortroy]

A good team would whitewash this SA team here.

 

[imshally81]

Babar wasted the free hit again..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar free hit

 

[UzmanBeast]

It’s his 5th game on the tour. No excuses

Agreed, you can make a case for a debutant or a player who hasn't had many chances, but this is poor stuff from Babar.

 

[PakPremi]

Haider Ali is such a free flowing player hope he scores big runs now. Babar playing fine, he has to anchor as all main batsmen are leaving.
