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

[BreadPakoda]

SA not pressing home the advantage. Maybe doubtful of their inexperienced line up.

 

[Boi]

Ramiz spouting absolute rubbish

 

[Pete Rose]

How they feel on the day

 

[Mamoon]

SA not pressing home the advantage. Maybe doubtful of their inexperienced line up.

They know what they are doing. If things go accordingly, they will bat Pakistan out of the game.

 

[Ahmed216]

‘Ignite the defensive mechanism’

Poor from ramiz

 

[shah_1]

Authur's mindset of playing bits and pieces cricketer is a disaster in making

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why didn't we have such unresponsive wickets for the Tests? Port Elizabeth could have been to Pak's advantage.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imad and Faheem have been next to useless today. Bowling both sides of the wicket. It's criminal for a medium pace bowler and a spin bowler FGS

 

[NauV]

Love how Sarfaraz loves letting the game drift . .a nd obviously when he brings his best bowlers on at 200/2 at 40 overs . .t hey'd be able to restrict SA for 250 . . I am really curious to learn what goes in Sarfaraz's head

 

[Navdeep Srivastava]

Why Fakhar is bowling when they have so many bowling option

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Instead of Imad, there should have been a pacer.

South Africa have 4 pacers.

 

[Titan24]

Some of the bits and pieces cricketers outperformed the main bowlers even its tests they played in the series.

Just because they can bat a bit doesnt make them bits and pieces cricketers especially when they are outperforming the main bowlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klaasen if he plays all 5 games will get his career average into the 30's with the massive and only help of Pakistan.

 

[TheNeutralist]

Pakistan has too many all rounders, no proper specialists. That said this south african team can collapse at any time, them keeping wickets does not matter.

 

[Titan24]

SA played the home advantage card

 

[Oligochaetes]

134/1 * (29/50 ov)

This is too slow for current ODI standards. IA few quikc wickets can turn the tide in my opinion

 

[RyanRyan10]

Shadab Strikes again
Best LOI spinner in the world

 

[letme alone]

whatta catch

You think Fahim is better than Shaheen?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Klaasen, Miller and Phehlukwayo are big hitters. Pakistan might be looking at a massive total here, if they don't strike quickly.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pitch looks total flat.

300 and any good batting line up will chase it.

 

[Green Patriot]

Gone.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not out?

 

[Stalin]

Not out.

 

[IMMY69]

That has to be out because the ball goes into hit the arm but snicko doesn’t even pick that up

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Rassie lucky. He is safe.

 

[Mamoon]

Shadab Strikes again
Best LOI spinner in the world

Well the joy was short-lived, and maybe he is the best in a world where Yadav and Chahal don’t exist.

 

[IMMY69]

Hmmm

 

[Titan24]

You think Fahim is better than Shaheen?

No, not at all as but Faheem has outperformed Amir and Hassan in the last 6 months or so. Was the best bowler in the last test as well.

Shaheen is probably rested otherwise he can play over any bowler in LOIs atm.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a relief for dussen

 

[Gullycricket]

Calm down people.Its not SA are scoring at 7rpo.Its a flat pitch and we have tied them nicely.

 

[MMHS]

Should be out - not conclusive enough to over rule on-field umpire.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That has to be out because the ball goes into hit the arm but snicko doesn’t even pick that up

They only pick what they like to so the mechanics come into play here.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

That was not out.

 

[IMMY69]

Why did snicko not detect noise when it hit the arm?

 

[Fineline]

Should be out - not conclusive enough to over rule on-field umpire.

Lol not really!There was clearly no contact with the bat!

 

[Khan12]

Luck has been with SA......

 

[Mamoon]

That has to be out because the ball goes into hit the arm but snicko doesn’t even pick that up

The spikes were huge when the ball brushed against his arm.

 

[jnaveen1980]

sarfraz appeals are lol. "Aaah aah aah aaah "

 

[IMMY69]

The spikes were huge when the ball brushed against his arm.

I thought the spike was bat hitting the ground

 

[rollingstoned]

How can anyone in their right mind see the replay and think it was out? Lol.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wickets at the wrong time for South Africa will demolish their plans of keeping wickets and exploding in the end

 

[AMSS]

Sarfaraz's appeal though

"aaaaa"

"aaaaaaa"

"aaaaaaaaaa"

lmao

 

[Boi]

Pitch looks total flat.

300 and any good batting line up will chase it.

What do you make of Sarfraz’s captaincy today? Not bowling either of his best 2 bowlers for the first14 overs and then straight after they did come on and applied some pressure he released it by bringing on part timers.

 

[MMHS]

Lol not really!There was clearly no contact with the bat!

It could have brushed the back gloves & there were spikes in the snicko - point is, on-field umpire gave out; does the replay confirms that there wasn't any contact?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Amla has kept SA in the game otherwise they would have been 115-1 after 30.

 

[rollingstoned]

Vdd has had a charmed debut.

 

[Nado_]

Don’t mind this dussen guy sticking around as he’s killing the run rate, Amla is a beast in terms of putting away bad balls but I don’t see him smoking sixes off a good length etc,

Pakistan batting is way below current ODI standards

I just tuned in.

 

[IMMY69]

Tahir is always dangerous but on this track he could run through us.
He should be the biggest threat to us.

 

[Ali Bohra]

Till Now 30 overs done,
And PAK Used 7 Bowlers.

Interesting

 

[Shafi]

Usman is a rubbish bowler!!!!! Don't know how these useless players keep getting selected again and again

 

[imshally81]

Run out chance missed..

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure why is this shinwari guy sprinting to bowl at 130 kph. HE is running way too fast to the crease

 

[Titan24]

There has always been questions about Sarfaraz's captaincy over the last year or so. At the moment we can just hope for the best though as we are going into the world cup.

Maybe some bowler or batsman in our side can be in as good a form as Fakhar in CT17 final or Hassan throughout. Then you wont need captaincy, yes if he doesnt ball the best bowler then its another matter.

 

[Oligochaetes]

WHy was Hasan ALi taken off the attack?

 

[Fineline]

It could have brushed the back gloves & there were spikes in the snicko - point is, on-field umpire gave out; does the replay confirms that there wasn't any contact?

It was bat hitting the ground and later the bowl brushing his arm.No spikes could be observed when the bowl went past the bat so it was the right call!

 

[imshally81]

Tahir is always dangerous but on this track he could run through us.
He should be the biggest threat to us.

He will take 4 wickets today...

 

[a_tahir]

Come on that should have been out

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

I am not sure why is this shinwari guy sprinting to bowl at 130 kph. HE is running way too fast to the crease

he hit around 145 in the first spell

 

[a_tahir]

Tahir is always dangerous but on this track he could run through us.
He should be the biggest threat to us.

Thanks Mate

 

[Usman Chadda]

We are looking at 350+ here for certain.

 

[IAJ]

Shinwari is only a maximum 4 overs bowler. Can’t believe you leave out Amir and Afridi in these conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is the point of an innings like this from Amla. Playing at same place till the end. By now he should start blasting the bowlers.

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz cant even throw the ball...

 

[jnaveen1980]

he hit around 145 in the first spell

If you keep sprinting like that you will lose it.

 

[Fineline]

Ball**

 

[jnaveen1980]

Debutant is eating a lot of balls. Good for Pakistan as long as he is there.

 

[a_tahir]

Debutant is eating a lot of balls. Good for Pakistan as long as he is there.

Even after 50 balls he doesn't look comfortable

 

[Titan24]

Debutant is eating a lot of balls. Good for Pakistan as long as he is there.

Yeah but atleast need Amla

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The question now is will Pak be able to chase this 250+ score?

When was the last time Pak chased a 250+ score against a top side? Hasn't happened often with this line up of Malik, Hafeez, Sarfraz. Am I correct?

 

[Shafi]

Our bowling is getting worse day by day!!!! Only 1 wicket in 32+ overs

 

[Taaya]

Very frustrating team selection for this one. I'd have Shaheen in in for Usman, and either Rizwan/Talat in for Imad. It seems as if the team management never learns from previous series. They will change the team in the last 2 ODIs after realizing their mistake, and then their collective minds reset at the start of the next series. Its becoming intolerable now.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Not a fan of such bowling line up with only 2 main bowlers and 3 'all rounders".

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

What is the point of an innings like this from Amla. Playing at same place till the end. By now he should start blasting the bowlers.

hes 66 off 73

What MORE do you want?

 

[castortroy]

This could be another 5-0 whitewash

 

[RyanRyan10]

He plays like that only
Have hardly seen him destroy opponents with daddy 100s

 

[MenInG]

Debutant is eating a lot of balls. Good for Pakistan as long as he is there.

Ahmed Shehzad in the making.
