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

[KhanPredator]

Just as I asked, Hafeez comes on

 

[Pete Rose]

How good could it have been if we went to win the game.

Played well in CT against us.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

to keep their spot in the team, duh.

There is no hinderence in Amla's spot in the team right now after he scored in test series. Plus with world cup in sight he would never be dropped before it.

Its not just about the spot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And hopefully the series!

Get Junaid in

 

[DRsohail]

Buddy is on but not bad if he throws few.

 

[Chokli]

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

this, it's pretty tough out there

 

[Pete Rose]

This can go either way

Legit

 

[shah_1]

Amla lol

 

[NauV]

Rameez thinks Hafeez is on cuz the left hander is on teh crease . . LOL!

 

[Greenstorm]

Don't know what SA is doing here. Miller not even going after Hafeez.

 

[Chokli]

There is no hinderence in Amla's spot in the team right now after he scored in test series. Plus with world cup in sight he would never be dropped before it.

Its not just about the spot.

yeah, you say that from your perspective... trying looking at it from their perspective.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I pray Amla doesn't get a hundred and stays not out. That's how slow he has played.

 

[Pete Rose]

Amla playing a Babar type innings.

 

[Ahmed216]

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

Age-factor. He cannot be blamed ,its kohli who has been adamant tp play him in WC

 

[Gullycricket]

WTH Amla dot at this stage

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Miller isn't looking to go big

 

[Chokli]

lol, that was all hafeez's fault... he was trying to blame the fielder

 

[Fineline]

Get Junaid in

He will be replaced by Shaheen most likely.Junaid isnt in the squad unfortunately!

 

[jnaveen1980]

dot ball by Amla haha

 

[shah_1]

66666

 

[Ramsay]

Wow! Hashim hits a six. Is it for real?

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Amla

 

[Deewana Mastana]

27th 100 in ODI cricket Amla

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure he will get to 100 before 50th over haha

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good bowling effort here, but under lights i worry for our feeble batting later

 

[Green Patriot]

Hashim with a century.

 

[Fineline]

The worst hundred I have ever witnessed by a batsman!

 

[Buffet]

Amla is a ok ODI player, but lacks gear to get into top class ODI player. If you can't show intent in the last few overs with so many wickets then that tells a lot about skill set.

 

[volcyz]

Shouldve just went for the slog sweep earlier

 

[Hasan123]

100 for Amla. Not a great innings. On flat pitches, this approach will be thoroughly exposed.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He will be replaced by Shaheen most likely.Junaid isnt in the squad unfortunately!

I meant call him up from BPL as cover

 

[Pete Rose]

Reminds me of the game where we won against South Africa with ajmal and Junaid shutting them down. Amla was at the crease then as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you just look at the scorecard you won't know what kind of an innings this is hah only those who watched it live will know.

 

[Chokli]

all of you criticizing amla, wait and see what happens when pakistan bats

 

[Gullycricket]

66666

Bhai dara dete ho

 

[Mamoon]

Match-winning knock. Played the opposition to perfection. When you have the opportunity to bash minnows, don’t let it go.

 

[castortroy]

The worst hundred I have ever witnessed by a batsman!

A winning one though

 

[DRsohail]

May be pitch is tough.We have to wait .Amla has done well.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Pakistan ne 200 be nhi karne

 

[Deewana Mastana]

280 is on now

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Amla will get the Man of the match award. Still people calling it the worse?

 

[Fineline]

I meant call him up from BPL as cover

He isnt in the good books of Inzi!

 

[Shafi]

100 from Vai!!!! Congratulation Sarfraz bring Malik

 

[Hasan123]

Miller already looking more comfortable at the crease than So called "ATG"

 

[DRsohail]

Match-winning knock. Played the opposition to perfection. When you have the opportunity to bash minnows, don’t let it go.

LOLZ made my day.

 

[Mamoon]

The worst hundred I have ever witnessed by a batsman!

Babar Azam vs Australia.

 

[a_tahir]

Match-winning knock. Played the opposition to perfection. When you have the opportunity to bash minnows, don’t let it go.

Didn't really bash them tbh

 

[Chokli]

The worst hundred I have ever witnessed by a batsman!

the worst hundred was by ahmed shehzad in 2011 versus west indies.. 102 at a strike rate of 60.

followed by imran farhats 100 in tests versus nz in nz, flukiest innings you'll ever see

you'll admira amla's innings once pakistan bats

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan needed to keep them to 250 or under. Couldn't do either of them neither did they take wickets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

all of you criticizing amla, wait and see what happens when pakistan bats

Doesn't matter. We are talking about absolutel lack of intent right through the innings until that 6. It has no real correlation.

 

[Chokli]

Doesn't matter. We are talking about absolutel lack of intent right through the innings until that 6. It has no real correlation.

the conditions are tough to bat in

 

[ARK Rafay]

This isn't a match winning knock. But will turn out to be because of the inability of Pakistan to chase anything over 250

 

[Greenstorm]

Reminds me of the game where we won against South Africa with ajmal and Junaid shutting them down. Amla was at the crease then as well.

Yes Amla only managed to score 3 runs against Ajmal in 49th over and thus lost the game for SA.

 

[Hasan123]

Good ball. Hasan Ali has bounced back well.

 

[castortroy]

Ramiz 100 v windies in 1992 has to be up there.

First time a certain Brian Lara was introduced

 

[Chokli]

This isn't a match winning knock. But will turn out to be because of the inability of Pakistan to chase anything over 250

which means it'll be a match winning knock, stop trying to downplay his innings just because he wasn't able to get it in 37 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

the conditions are tough to bat in

Not his entire career haha. He is always like this. You sound like this is the first time he is doing this.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shenwari is always injured

 

[Fineline]

A winning one though

No Pakistan got a good chance now!If they had crossed 300,we would have certainly failed to chase that!

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Match-winning knock. Played the opposition to perfection. When you have the opportunity to bash minnows, don’t let it go.

But why even let opposition a sniff? Pak is totally capable of chasing 280 odd score. Any team would hv scored 325-340 from the position they were in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He isnt in the good books of Inzi!��

His book has just one name Imam

 

[Hasan123]

Good ball by Faheem

 

[castortroy]

This isn't a match winning knock. But will turn out to be because of the inability of Pakistan to chase anything over 250

India/ England would swallow this target in 45 overs but as you said, it will be match winnnig due to our batting inabilities

 

[RyanRyan10]

Playing dots even in the final over

 

[Fineline]

Babar Azam vs Australia.

It was in a losing cause but not as bad as this one!

 

[Chokli]

Not his entire career haha. He is always like this. You sound like this is the first time he is doing this.

like i said, he isn't the main batsman, he is a supporting batsman.... others are supposed to bat around him.

but the conditions are quite tough out there hence the other player wasn't able to get more

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now Pakistan has a realistic chance. Olivier cannot bowl more than one bouncer per batsman in an over.

 

[ARK Rafay]

which means it'll be a match winning knock, stop trying to downplay his innings just because he wasn't able to get it in 37 balls

Partly. His innings won't matter against England, India or even Australia

 

[Hasan123]

Amla has no shot making ability.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Bumrah who? Whattay Yorkers yaar.

 

[Greenstorm]

Have said it before, Faheem is a good death overs bowler and should be used more in final 10 overs.

 

[Ramsay]

Lol! Amla

 

[Sir Alex]

Lol Amla...

 

[Chokli]

India/ England would swallow this target in 45 overs but as you said, it will be match winnnig due to our batting inabilities

they may or may not, you can't say that for certain

 

[jnaveen1980]

like i said, he isn't the main batsman, he is a supporting batsman.... others are supposed to bat around him.

but the conditions are quite tough out there hence the other player wasn't able to get more

How is it tough? lol Full tosses, half vollies you must take full toll of them. He missed out on so many rubbish balls.

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol

 

[Mamoon]

Amla has humiliated us today. This is nothing but net practice for him; his lack of urgency shows how little he thinks of our batting.

 

[Ahmed216]

thats good fielding, allowing for second run to ensure amla stays on strike

 

[RyanRyan10]

Amla keeping strike

 

[Fineline]

His book has just one name Imam

Hit the nail on the head!
