South Africa v Pakistan | 4th T20I | Pretoria | 16 April 2021 | South Africa innings

[Rana]

Faheem literally has no pace on offer lol

 

[shariqnoor]

It's a terrible decision to not be playing Usman Qadir again. Giving SA pace in their home condition is a bad decision.

 

[UzmanBeast]

You have to complete overs of Hassan as well as there is no 6th option. They can bring in Hafeez if Linde comes in to have an over or.

Agreed but the rotation of bowlers at critical stages has been awful throughout this series.

 

[Rana]

Faheem gets Klaasen

 

[silentkiller187]

babar aint got a clue sorry to say, its like hes made his plan in the dressing room which doesnt change according to the match situation.

 

[Sunzi]

Klaasen gone! Golden arm Ashraf!

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Rassie

 

[Ahmed216]

Big wicket this...

 

[Rana]

I watch a lot of the IPL to tell you that Faheem would be the perfect kind of bowler as an overseas player in any of the teams.

 

[shariqnoor]

Just getting Dussen out right now will set SA back 25 runs.

 

[silentkiller187]

pakistan is better of finding another bowler like faheem, alot more useful in t20 then the "speedstars"rauf naseem hasnain even hassan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Linde

 

[Titan24]

Agreed but the rotation of bowlers at critical stages has been awful throughout this series.

Lack of use of Hafeez especially against Lubbe and Linde has been surprising.

worthy of 26 crores

 

[UzmanBeast]

Yep, Hafeez has been a reliable bowler. I think they're just afraid if he gets another ban before the world cup.

 

[Titan24]

Pak's fielding throughout the tour has been surprisingly good other than a miss or two. Direct hits definitely can be worked upon

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looks like a slightly slower pitch. 180 would be decent. Plus SA have Fortuin too who'll be difficult to get away compared to Hendricks.

3 spinners today

 

[silentkiller187]

give him one last hurrah at the world cup, even if he gets called then his career will be all but done

 

[imshally81]

Outt

 

[silentkiller187]

goneee

 

[Rana]

Rauf the true death bowler gets RVD!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dussen gone too

 

[Sunzi]

Slot bowling doing the job here ha ha

 

[silentkiller187]

looks like even rauf was surprised he got a wicket there

 

[Rana]

Blessed in all facets takes a nice catch

 

[Rafa]

Harris better bowler than Hassan in the T20s.

 

[Markhor]

Big wicket ! End of Van der Dussen.

 

[Titan24]

Harris better bowler than Hassan in the T20s.

Hassan was the best pacer across the board in the first two T20s however, has struggled since.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Shaun Jadooghar Pollock predicting 112 to be an unlucky number

 

[PakPremi]

You have to complete overs of Hassan as well as there is no 6th option. They can bring in Hafeez if Linde comes in to have an over or.

Exactly too many opinions going on who should bowl who should not bowl. It's T20 all five bowlers need to bowl and the pacers are just as good or bad as each other in middle to death overs.

 

[shariqnoor]

Oh no. A debutant against Pakistan. This won't end up well for Pakistan. They are going to make him a hero aren't they?

 

[UzmanBeast]

At least Babar understands now that Faheem isn't a death overs bowler. Good to see him finishing Faheem's quota of overs.

 

[Rana]

5 overs after this

2 from Shaheen, 2 from Hassan and 1 from Rauf

Better to bowl Hassan out now

 

[imshally81]

Linde gone

 

[Rana]

3-17 by Rana Faheem

And they wrote this gem of a cricketer off!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get it

 

[Titan24]

Top stuff from Faheem with the ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is what happens when you play only 4 batsmen. Poor from SA.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Good bowling from Faheem.

 

[silentkiller187]

Hassan can still turn it around with 2 good overs here

 

[Rana]

Smart move to bowl Hassan the liability now

 

[Rafa]

What a bowling by Faheem

 

[UzmanBeast]

Hasan Ali needs to bowl to his field. Keep things simple. Yorkers and only necessary change-ups. Avoid bowling in the slot.

 

[silentkiller187]

generatorrr

 

[imshally81]

Mulder gone

 

[bujhee kom]

Pakistan's bowling has some huge weaknesses. I imagine in Asia during the WCT20, another front line spinner will play.

Why doesn't Hafeez bowl?

 

[PakPremi]

Everyone criticising Babar change of bowling yet SA struggling throughout the match,and likely to finish below desired score of 185.

 

[shariqnoor]

The pressure of scoring 200 batting first on a flat pitch is much greater than playing on a 130-140 type pitch.

That was what took Pakistan down in the second T20 as well. The pressure to put up a huge score knowing anything less than 180 will be game over is very difficult to bear for many teams.

 

[Rafa]

Pakistan showing it's class today. The second T20 was an anomaly.

 

[Sunzi]

SA going down with a whimper here.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Pakistan's bowling has some huge weaknesses. I imagine in Asia during the WCT20, another front line spinner will play.

Why doesn't Hafeez bowl?

I think the management is scared that he will get banned ahead of the world cup, which will be a huge setback.

Hence, they'd rather not use him.

 

[Rana]

Magala given 4 straight chances

Pakistan couldnt give Sharjeel more than one chance!

 

[silentkiller187]

Everyone criticising Babar change of bowling yet SA struggling throughout the match,and likely to finish below desired score of 185.

He could have been a bit smarter in the first 10 overs, but good comeback from the bowlers, rauf surprisngly good today

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[silentkiller187]

genratorrrr from rizwan too

 

[Sunzi]

Great take from Rizwan.

 

[bujhee kom]

^

Makes sense re: Hafeez.

Another gone as I type.

 

[Rafa]

SA choked after that wicket of Klassen.

 

[Rana]

Harris Rauf's wicket of RVD, match defining blow!

 

[bujhee kom]

In Hassan's defense he has the cleanest bowling action.

 

[Titan24]

That was a top catch from Rizwan.

 

[silentkiller187]

Every international commie ive heard talk about Rizwan is gushing in their praise for him, yet there's still posters on this forum who doubt his abilities, laughable

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Under 150 all out

 

[shariqnoor]

The quota selection is really hurting SA. Phehlukwayo has only bowled 3 overs in the entire series so far, so how does he gets ahead of Verreynne as a batter? It's ridiculous.

 

[Rana]

Well that was viliage fielding by Rauf

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Top fielding by Rauf

 

[sindhiboy]

Just broke my roza, how has this happened?

 

[silentkiller187]

pakistan fielding is back

The quota system is helping them out for the next generation.

 

[raashidkhan89079]

Just broke my roza, how has this happened?

What do you mean by 'broke roza' you should say i just did iftaar

 

[imshally81]

4 byes

 

[Sunzi]

Rizzy yaar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

pakistan fielding is back

Where did it go in the first place

 

[angrypathan]

Clowns throwing it away in the field

 

[silentkiller187]

releasing the pressure with these cheap 4s

 

[shariqnoor]

SA can still reach 160. That would be a competitive score no matter the pitch.

 

[Omer2002]

6666666

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hasan )

 

[silentkiller187]

Where did it go in the first place

surprisingly the ground work has been ok recently

 

[Rana]

That was such a funny catch
