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

Dear lord , how negative you Pak fans are! It's a flat patta and they're not scoring @more than 5 RPO. The SAF middle order is awfully weak barring Faf.
A wicket here , floodgates will open and 220 will suddenly look far way.
Lol @"350 is on here" comments.
 
Not surprised I saw the team and looked at the bowling and thought we have definitely gone with the wrong bowling mix. Hopefully pick up some wickets soon

We are just pointing out that anything above will feel like 350 for our batsmen
 
Reasons why many posters are being negative after 15 overs is because we all know how pathetic are batting line up is.

Even if SA made 200, we might sneak there 7-8 down.

We very rarely win one day games against the big team by big margins

Totally but no point in wasting energy as they know they can say anything and nobody will even remeber or they can always not show up when the prediction goes wrong.
 
Agreed. Though Hassan when in rythm can also generate seam movement but most of the times he is trying too much of other things rather than focusing on consistency of line and length with seam position.

Hasan kills his chances by either bowling too short or too full. Seam movement is only troublesome on the good length with the ball either coming in or going out.

For swing bowlers like Amir, Anderson, Bhuvi bowling fuller lengths is natural as that's where the swing is lethal and slips come into play.

These are things bowling coaches should discuss with their bowlers. You should know their main strength and work on it.

If you see the avg match experience of this Pak side excluding Malik and Hafeez you will understand that it takes a little time for teams to develop.
 
Why are the umps dressed like Johnny Cash on this sunny day
 
Sarfraz looks so deflated here. Totally uninspiring.
 
Such dumb players are running our cricket. That was always pitched outside leg and we lose only review we had. Pathetic.

I mean barely 20 overs are bowled and some are saying Pak will lose by 200 runs . :facepalm:
 
If we are going with Sarfaraz as captain in WC he better sort all his issues out what a poor review
 
Review lost: Sarfraz really needs to learn how to call for a review and when to call for a review.
 
Sarfraz does know we are playing more than 20 overs, right?
 
How did India lose to Pak in CT final - pressure, ego and bad decisions.
How can Pak win against SA - attacking cricket from openers, good fielding, reasonable bowling - as this seems to be a 275+ chase for them.
 
Bowling from Shadab, this consistency in his 2nd over as a leggy is a big thing
 
Much needed wicket, we need to get rid of Amla aswell.
 
Pak player a blinder in that final v India.

However, if they played India 10 times, pak will probably have a 20% win ratio
 
Hendricks is debuting in this game - now SAF has an option in opening.

Markram is also in the mix once he is fit. He actually played in the middle order as captain against India when a lot of their players were injured
 
PAK must bring another genuine spinner in playing XI - Irfan or Gohar. Ideally, the 1st choice 11 should have Amir, Shaheen, Hasan & Shadab + a choice between spinner or 4th pacer (Amad/Fahim) depending on condition.
 
Wow Mark Nicholas :))) thinking Hafeez is bowling a doosra when Shadab has just delivered a standard leg break.
 
Why is Saifi scolding Shady?
Poor for him.he should be given more confidence :facepalm:
 
83-1 : 18.0

Decent start from Saffers but not earth shattering, the spinners will choke em and get em all out below 250 :yk2
 
Absolutely pathetic from Sarfraz behind the stumps. Calling a normal leg spinners delivery a dheela ball.
Altho Shadab has bowled with great control
 
Markram is also in the mix once he is fit. He actually played in the middle order as captain against India when a lot of their players were injured

Markram’s ODI stats are surprisingly poor after good number of games. Without AdV, they need a little more experience in middle order, hence I think Amla will move down.

Yes

Agreed. Should have tried the combo in Asia cup itself where wickets were conducive as well but we just went with only Nawaz to support Shadab
 
Hassan is bowing well.

He is a match winner, really need him in his top game before WC
 
Nice to see wrist-slitters going quiet for 10 secs...
 
Guys dont post in urdu or non english on this thread

How bad is it for youngsters like Shady, Bobby to have Sarfraz as captain and he always scolding! Very very poor

I mean the guy just got a wicket and the next ball you are like 'dheeli karai rai ho' when the ball wasn't even that bad.

So frustrating.
