South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | 19 Jan, 2019 | Port Elizabeth | South Africa innings Thread

[Chokli]

This is why he is one of the most useless ODI batsman with incredible stats. AT one point they were comparing him with Tendulkar, Kohli lol

amla is more of a supporting actor than the main actor... he needs a de villiers or miller as his foil

True that

 

[Pete Rose]

There’s clarity of purpose to bowling, Ramiz says.
Whatever that means

 

[a_tahir]

South Africa just lost their chance to bat Pakistan out of the game.
270 won't be easy but there is always a chance

 

[Greenstorm]

Because inzi isn't his uncle...

But Inzi is not in SA. Mickey is in it as well.

 

[Chokli]

It’s eirher for the keeper or the slip to get

it wasn't close enough to catch

 

[imshally81]

South Africa could've easily got 300.

No... They won't..

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Amla going for 100. Selfish batting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Vd dussen will get ot his 100 before Amla

 

[Buffet]

Not able to connect is different thing, but no intent from Amla has been poor here.

 

[rhony]

Just woke up. No Shan. WTH!! Faheem and Shinwari opened the bowling!!

 

[DRsohail]

Wat a shame the best bat in test and performer in domestics is carrying drinks.Sarfarz and Micky deserves it..They will lose by 100 runs InshaAllah.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Faheem is so lucky in this over. atleast 3 rubbish balls went unpunished.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by faheem.

 

[MMHS]

Amla has fallen behind even Dussen.

 

[Hitman]

Imagine what Rohit would have done at this stage if he were in Amla's place.

 

[Chokli]

Not able to connect is different thing, but no intent from Amla has been poor here.

he doesn't have the ability to hit

 

[castortroy]

Let Babar bat like Amla today and we will have 15 threads on PP calling Babar selfish.

We will need someone to bat through

If pak do miraculously chase this down they will do so with 8-9 wickets down.

We hardly beat the big teams and when we do it's never comfortable

 

[Greenstorm]

Van Dussen looks like a good find for SA. Will be useful in WC. and he gets out

 

[Chokli]

Imagine what Rohit would have done at this stage if he were in Amla's place.

he'd be at 200ish or he'd have gotten a duck against amirs inswingers

 

[imshally81]

Wat a shame the best bat in test and performer in domestics is carrying drinks.Sarfarz and Micky deserves it..They will lose by 100 runs InshaAllah.

Oh another bed comments...

 

[castortroy]

Miller could cause carnage here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

93 and out and now Miller comes

 

[Fineline]

Well deserved wicket for Hassan!

 

[imshally81]

 

[shah_1]

Easily one of the most selfish innings you will see by Amla

"Team comes first" Some insult by Smith

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Van der dussen dismissed for 93 on debut

 

[Chokli]

Amla has fallen behind even Dussen.

amla didn't play a lot of balls, hendricks was hogging a lot of the strike

 

[Sir Alex]

Well played Dussen.. is a sitting duck against quality spin... yet displayed intent and was totally unselfish.

Unlike the bearded gentleman at the other end.

 

[jnaveen1980]

A full toss.. even that couldn't be put away.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Brilliant knock.

 

[Indiafan]

One of the reason why amla is below the likes of kohli. Pretty limited player

 

[Green Patriot]

But Inzi is not in SA. Mickey is in it as well.

Actually it was in the news that Inzi was travelling to South Africa ahead of the ODI series and the analysts on TV were speculating the reason behind that.

 

[iPakistani]

Hasannn!!! Bring out the generator!

 

[Fineline]

Just woke up. No Shan. WTH!! Faheem and Shinwari opened the bowling!!

With Amla batting,better go back to sleep!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Atleast Dussen was not selfish. More than a decent debut. strike rate 92 on debut is not that bad.

 

[Ahmed216]

Dhonisque selfish innings.

Dhoni has never been selfish. Yes i can remember a few instances where he promoted himself up the order to make good use of flat wickets early on in his captaincy days, and nothing really apart from that

 

[Chokli]

A full toss.. even that couldn't be put away.

conditions

 

[ARK Rafay]

Miller can really push this around 285

 

[volcyz]

Amla selfishness knows no boundaries

 

[Green Patriot]

Hassan deserved the wicket.
Bowled well today.

 

[Indiafan]

amla didn't play a lot of balls, hendricks was hogging a lot of the strike

He hasn't hit a single boundary since the 25th over. Excuses for him gotta run out at some stage

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Smith rightly criticizing Amla.

More than him the debutant needed the century.

 

[jnaveen1980]

conditions

lol You should be able to put full tosses away even in moon. Anyway these guys are not natural hitters obviously.

 

[Indiafan]

Dhoni has never been selfish. Yes i can remember a few instances where he promoted himself up the order to make good use of flat wickets early on in his captaincy days, and nothing really apart from that

Are you sure? Recently there have been many innings where he had played below 50 strike rate with no intent to score but just to.be not out. We lost those matches

 

[Chokli]

lol You should be able to put full tosses away even in moon. Anyway these guys are not natural hitters obviously.

sometimes it just doesn't come off, why can't you understand that

 

[Ahmed216]

SA bowling attack is not suited for this pitch. Its a bit like CT semi-final against England.
Morgan was crying

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Will Shinwari bowl the last over?

 

[Sir Alex]

Amla and Kallis have done SA more damage than good in the long run. Amazing statistics for both but hardly good team players

 

[Green Patriot]

Let's get Amla on 99.
He'll be bummed.

 

[shah_1]

Amla should not get out

 

[Hitman]

Shameful from Amla, just have a look at his intent.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Amla's pathetic knock is having a cascading effect now new batsman can't waste any balls to have an idea.

 

[Fineline]

Dumb from Imad!Need Amla to be there!

 

[Pete Rose]

Just putting it out there that I haven’t really seen miller do anything of note against Pakistan in any of the games I have seen

 

[imshally81]

Great over by Hasan..

 

[Greenstorm]

Bhai hepling us here

 

[Sir Alex]

Crowd booing.

 

[Gullycricket]

Hassan is back

 

[Abdullah719]

But Inzi is not in SA. Mickey is in it as well.

Inzi is in SA alright

 

[DRsohail]

Do not get out Amla please.

 

[KhanPredator]

Why hasn't Hafeez or Imad bowled more? Hafeez only got 2 overs.

 

[Greenstorm]

Just putting it out there that I haven’t really seen miller do anything of note against Pakistan in any of the games I have seen

Played well in CT against us.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shinwari is down for the count

 

[volcyz]

Amla embarrassing himself here

hope he's out on 99

 

[Greenstorm]

Just putting it out there that I haven’t really seen miller do anything of note against Pakistan in any of the games I have seen

Played well in CT against us.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Why do some senior players become selfish with age? First Tendu than Dhoni and now Amla.

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari gone

 

[topspin]

Poor pitch looks like they dug it out of Abu Dhabi.

Not much for pacers and doesn't aid stroke play.

 

[IAJ]

This guy is not fit for 50 overs match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's out of this game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why do some senior players become selfish with age? First Tendu than Dhoni and now Amla.

Amla was always like that. He has limited striking ability. But atleast he should get out at the right time. But he doesn' do it.

 

[Chokli]

Why do some senior players become selfish with age? First Tendu than Dhoni and now Amla.

to keep their spot in the team, duh.

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez on...

 

[Greenstorm]

Inzi is in SA alright

lo g

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez to bowl the 48th over )

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez??????

 

[Fineline]

He's out of this game.

And hopefully the series!

 

[Shafi]

Looks like difficult pitch to bat on. Our batters will not score over 150 for sure.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This can go either way
