South Africa v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Johannesburg| Feb 3rd, 2019 | South Africa Innings

[IMMY69]

Shadab is brilliant...
Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know the game.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I still can't get over that first ball by Shinwari. You've gotten canned for 2 6s in your first over and taken out of the attack. You're seeing that its a slow wicket and anything short is getting hammered. So what do you do?

Bowl a half tracker first ball back into the attack.

 

[Titan24]

Who was the fielder??

Shadab Khan

 

[Rana]

SA should score 170 odd here

 

[Pete Rose]

I am comforted that Miller has come to bat. Hopefully continues the way he has so far against Pakistan in his career

 

[Gullycricket]

Look at SA youngsters playing without fear while our xperienced players get scrambled

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shadab Khan is really good in the field. Just needs some consistency with both bat and ball. Still only 19.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

vd Dussen seems legit... He oozes non-choker.

 

[IAJ]

Pak getting pummelled by a SA team that doesn't have QDK, Rabada, Faf, Steyn

Pak don’t have Aamir, Hafeez, Shehzad and Akmals to mention some.

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab is brilliant...
Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know the game.

Anyone with potential will be hated by certain posters. As I always said he is a gem.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We really need to get our act together if we r to do well in the world cup. Our bowling is looking toothless. We need more than 1 bowler firing. Other than Shaheen rest r looking wobbly. Hasan ali and Ami need to get back into form. Spin dep shadab khan needs to sort hi head out. Batting wise the situation isnt that bad but we need a few more batsmen firing including fakhar zaman. As it is important fakhar zaman fires for pak to do well in WC

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not sure why Waqas Maqsood was dropped from T20s after just one game where he showed some good slower balls and pace variation

He's on the wrong side of his age.

Brainless.Dimag se mota

 

[Pete Rose]

In general I don’t think Pakistan has put enough pressure of vs Dussen on this tour

 

[Rana]

Pak getting pummelled by a SA team that doesn't have QDK, Rabada, Faf, Steyn

TBF Pak did beat that team twice in the ODIs

 

[MeanAndGreen]

The only way we will be competitive in the World Cup is if Hasan and Amir discover form and fitness once again otherwise with Shinwari and Shadab bowling like they have been recently it could be a nightmare.

 

[IMMY69]

Shadab Khan is really good in the field. Just needs some consistency with both bat and ball. Still only 19.

Exactly!!

Those calling him showbazy etc have a screw loose

 

[IAJ]

Shinwari, Gul and Junaid are all brothers. Hasan is their step-brother.

Gul was a very fine t20 bowler, he could at least bowl good yorkers

 

[Barragan]

Look how many short balls were bowled and going to the boundary, but they still didn't learn

 

[Hasan123]

vd Dussen seems legit... He oozes non-choker.

Must play in the WC. Maybe he could prevent those collapses that seem to cost SA. Faf at 4 and Dussen at 5 should be able to prevent those collapses.

 

[Gullycricket]

Ruman Raees would have been great here.He was good on slow surface in Cardiff

 

[Pete Rose]

Look at SA youngsters playing without fear while our xperienced players get scrambled

It’s t20. Teams do score 150 at least

 

[Hasan123]

Shinwari isn't better than Junaid.

 

[IAJ]

Keep them under 160 and we WIN this IA

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Gul was a very fine t20 bowler, he could at least bowl good yorkers

Used to be before his injury.

After that it was all short garbage.

 

[Shafi]

Great showbaazi by Shadab again. He is a very talented 12th man.

Didn't have much hope for our team in near future. Not only lack of talents but also Inzi is selecting more mediocre players

 

[Pete Rose]

I think the comma haven’t given enough credit to that run out effort

 

[Hasan123]

Dussen character and mental strength is so impressive.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Great showbaazi by Shadab again. He is a very talented 12th man.

You are mocking yourself with these posts

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Things are under control. No need to panic.

One or two more wickets and Pakistan can do big damage

 

[IAJ]

Rocket throw from Afridi

 

[Titan24]

Short balls bowled in this match is a mystery

 

[Pete Rose]

You are mocking yourself with these posts

His timing has been impeccable on this tour hehe

 

[MMHS]

There are so many questions that will be answered only when he play more.
How is he away from home?? Against better bowlers than Shenwari.
How is he against spin??
Does he have the temprament for international cricket?
And many more

He is U23 (and South African certificate), has scored 2.5k FC runs at 55/66 stats with 9 hundreds from 51 innings (and 8 fifties, means kid knows how to convert and play long, has 2 doubles already as well); has scored 1.3K List A runs at 50/87 stats with 11 innings of 50+ out of 29 (that's 1 in 2.5) and he has 750+T20 runs at 32/128 stats, mostly in SAF domestics therefore signs are really encouraging. But yes, spin play is an issue, but that's true for even Joe Root - this is his improvement area.

 

[IAJ]

I think the comma haven’t given enough credit to that run out effort

Those are SA commies, not Waqar, Shiva or russel

 

[MeanAndGreen]

the biggest positive from this tour has been our fielding. They haven't completely given in like we usually do on tough away tours.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Exactly!!

Those calling him showbazy etc have a screw loose

Pakistanis expect him to be a Tendulkar and Akram in one at 19 already.

He remains a special talent even if he gets dropped. After 2-3 years in either domestic or Int cricket he should be something to be proud of for the national team.

 

[Nado_]

Is it me or is listening to Ntini torture

 

[Titan24]

Good yorker, hassan should practice more

 

[IMMY69]

Hasan getting his speeds up and ball starting to reverse too..

 

[Hasan123]

Decent over by Hasan Ali.

 

[Mamoon]

Didn't have much hope for our team in near future. Not only lack of talents but also Inzi is selecting more mediocre players

As a mid-table team, we produce mid-table talent. Good for minnow bashing but are repeatedly exposed against top flight opposition.

Applies to all players barring a couple. The problem is not with the team but with the fans. They have to lower their expectations.

Our fans are unbelievably arrogant for a team that has sustained mediocre rankings in Tests and ODIs for 90% of the last 15 odd years.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Solid yorker Hasan

 

[Gullycricket]

160 will be winning total on this pitch

 

[Titan24]

Is it me or is listening to Ntini torture

Its been a consensus from almost everyone here since the start of the tour

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

His timing has been impeccable on this tour hehe

Day by day his narcissism is increasing.

 

[imshally81]

Harsh call..

Yes a complete lack of perspective.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

14 overs 100 runs
Next 6 overs target for Pakistan: 54

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Is it me or is listening to Ntini torture

I concur

 

[Rana]

Shinwari drama!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wahab should play t20is he has been performing very well in t20 leagues.he can't surely do worse than shinwari and co.

 

[xricket]

Azhar Mahmood doesn;t even guide bowlers now. This is the pitch map of todays bowling of Pakistani seamers

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistani players don’t improve with age, so the odds are firmly stacked against Shadab.

 

[Pete Rose]

That’s a harsh call. He came out of the crease

 

[babajee]

Applies to all players barring a couple.

Who are these

 

[IAJ]

This guy has only one shot?

 

[Rana]

Nooooo

No Shinwari please!!

Agreed they are not right up there at the moment but most of them are very young so a couple pf years can make a big difference to them

 

[Mann Bharya]

Reeza is a domestic bully and he's been once since a long time. Unlucky to be playing for SA so late.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

14 overs 103 Runs.
Next 6 over target for Pakistan: 54 runs
Total 157

 

[Barragan]

Excellent over from Hassan

None of that short stuff

 

[IAJ]

Imad sledging Miller, easy bro

 

[Pete Rose]

Not very smart by Miller. The first ball by shinwari is usually. He missed out

103-2, SA would score this against India at home also.

Not sure how this is 'exposed'

 

[xricket]

Shinwari still bowling mindless short bowling. This guy just cant even think

 

[IAJ]

Shinwari, mat ban bimaari

1 or 2 fans arrogance doesn't equate to the whole fanbase.

 

[Titan24]

160 will be winning total on this pitch

Wicket is pretty decent to bat on. Anything around 160 Pak would fancy their chances

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistani players don’t improve with age, so the odds are firmly stacked against Shadab.

Could be, could be not. Time will tell.

But he isn't a machine that could start performing like ATG's at 17. At this tender age he has already outperformed several seniors. I guess that also tells you something about how limited this team is.

 

[Nado_]

Did imad captain in psl? And if he did how was he tactically?

 

[Rana]

Imad sledging Miller, easy bro

I get the Impression Miller has a big mouth himself when he is out there in the field.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Well at least we've seen enough in the last couple of games to conclude that Shinwari is nothing more than a bench bowler.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

End of Shinwari's Career.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

I honestly don't think Miller is captain material.

Perhaps I'm wrong.

 

[Hasan123]

Shinwari isn't good enough. Shouldn't be back up in the WC. He bowls to many boundary balls.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Poor score by South Africa. But Usman is helping em..... t

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Absolute rubbish from Shinwari

 

[Titan24]

So many short balls

 

[MMHS]

Pak don’t have Aamir, Hafeez, Shehzad and Akmals to mention some.

I tell you an old story in honor to your post, I am in mood today - a Japanese delegate came to Bihar and told Lalu that give us 10 years, we'll convert Bihar like Japan .... Lalu responded "give me Japan, sirf panch saal may Bihar banake chorunga ...."
