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

[shah_1]

Fahim is bowling gentle pace

Easy for SA

 

[Hasan123]

SA will be confident they can defend 270ish

 

[NauV]

When will Shadab bowl? close to overs 50? If Sarfaraz fears that he will get hammered now, then why hasn't he bowled 8 9 overs by now?

Or . . is your most threatening bowler of the day (most likely to take a wicket) not going to bowl 10 overs?

defies logic really

 

[MMHS]

Surprisingly he was really effective like an year ago with the new ball as he was always getting wickets in his first spell as well

May be, it was more to do with whom he was playing against rather than what he was doing with new ball. For a reference - Fahim Ashraf averaged 22 in ODI before this game and that actually should make him walk into every team as 2nd pacer.

 

[Hasan123]

Too many all rounders. Would rather have specialist bowlers.

 

[Mueez]

Fifty for the debutant!

 

[Hasan123]

Miller will probably come in next. Should have been more attacking in the middle overs.

 

[shah_1]

Fahim has been so poor

 

[Mamoon]

Faheem is a joke. Only Pakistani fans are capable of hyping someone so deeply mediocre.

 

[Shafi]

Any team can smashing our bowlers but surprisingly our bowlers can't take even 2-3 wickets.

 

[shah_1]

12 runs from this over

 

[Greenstorm]

Junaid could have been useful here. Faheem should never be played as 3rd seamer outside Asia.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Captain useless being useless with his tactics

 

[Chokli]

Faheem is a joke. Only Pakistani fans are capable of hyping someone so deeply mediocre.

he is decent for a 2nd change bowler, not opener lmao... at least out of UAE

 

[Hasan123]

Shadab has bowled well. When that slip catch was missed he as taken off the next over. That was a mistake imo.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This vd dussen might be a decent test player

 

[Sir Alex]

Lol this Dussen guy is a real hack.

Amla Need to bring in a sense of urgency

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow most rubbish reverse sweep i have ever seen haha

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Less than 275 and that would be very well done on this pitch.

 

[Chokli]

come on afrikaans smash these overrated pakistani bowlers

 

[RyanRyan10]

Faheem is a joke. Only Pakistani fans are capable of hyping someone so deeply mediocre.

His batting is just as good as Amir's who is a far superior bowler
Cant understand why this guy has been picked ahead of Amir

 

[MenInG]

Faheem is a joke. Only Pakistani fans are capable of hyping someone so deeply mediocre.

Concentrate on whats good for Pakistan and appreciate how well they are doing

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

wow most rubbish reverse sweep i have ever seen haha

Hahha in Urdu we say this jhaaro maarna. lol

 

[shah_1]

Faheem is a joke. Only Pakistani fans are capable of hyping someone so deeply mediocre.

This

Taking wickets against SL and Zim and he is hyped unnecessarily


Averages 48 vs New Zealand and now this. He is a poor bowler

 

[Fineline]

These two need to get out if SA are to get to 300!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two strokeless wonders are at the crease.

 

[Oligochaetes]

I change my mind.. DOnot take any wicket... I repeat donot take another wicket.. Let these two bat.. They might not even get to 250 at this rate

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is very poor batting.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They'll be aiming for 120-130 in the last 10 with only 1 wicket down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You guys realize why Indian fans is ticket off with Dhoni. Dhoni can slower than these two lol

 

[Hasan123]

SA will aim for at least 100 off the next 12 overs.

 

[shariqnoor]

To be fair, Pakistan has done really well to have kept SA below 5 RPO here despite taken only 1 wicket. However SA knows they only need to score 235 and the game is over.

 

[Ahmed216]

Two strokeless wonders are at the crease.

Theyre already done enough for Pak

 

[Chokli]

This

Taking wickets against SL and Zim and he is hyped unnecessarily


Averages 48 vs New Zealand and now this. He is a poor bowler

lol if he didn't contribute with his wickets, your team probably would have lost.


you have to remember you struggled against afghanistan and lost convincingly to bangladesh at your HOME

 

[ExpressPacer]

9 wickets in hand and they aren't even trying....

 

[RyanRyan10]

This has got to be worst 100 run partnership in Odi cricket in a long time

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This

Taking wickets against SL and Zim and he is hyped unnecessarily


Averages 48 vs New Zealand and now this. He is a poor bowler

Everyone knows it but on here everyone is hyped to the moon and back.

 

[MMHS]

Hasan has been brilliant today - I have seen every ball, and he had a perfect game so far in base ball term.

 

[Stalin]

Why is Pakistan's kit blue?
Looks terrible.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Very poor game of cricket so far. The batting, the bowling and fielding have all been mediocre to say the least.

 

[jnaveen1980]

9 wickets in hand and they aren't even trying....

Limitations. If Amla tries to slog he will lose his shape, look ungainly, result will be even worse. He should just get out after 35 overs.

 

[Amirforpresident]

So SA is trying to have wickets in hand and will go slogging mode in the last 10 overs, which might be a problem forus considering our bowlers are mentally not that strong.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan doing the sensible thing by not taking any wickets

 

[castortroy]

What a platform for SA

Expecting Miller to come in and massacre the bowling

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan will chase this total. I believe this is a batting paradise. If we get a good start we can win.

 

[Gullycricket]

Its like Azhar and Imam batting

 

[lahoriyah1234]

What a platform for SA

Expecting Miller to come in and massacre the bowling

Only if he survives Hafeez spell.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So SA is trying to have wickets in hand and will go slogging mode in the last 10 overs, which might be a problem forus considering our bowlers are mentally not that strong.

Plus with Hasan nearly bowled out already.

 

[Hasan123]

Amir and Shaheen should have played instead of Shinwari and Faheem.

 

[Chokli]

Why is Pakistan's kit blue?
Looks terrible.

should go back to the green... it's like when australia were wearing green and england were wearing red

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Amla's fitness is admirable. I have never seen him tired or sweating even when he scored 300.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Miller and Klaasen will be up the order now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine Rohit sharma now instead of Amla lol

 

[Chokli]

Amir and Shaheen should have played instead of Shinwari and Faheem.

it's better to give shinwari a chance now than later on

 

[Mamoon]

Concentrate on whats good for Pakistan and appreciate how well they are doing

Oh I am in awe of how many wickets we have taken so far.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir and Shaheen should have played instead of Shinwari and Faheem.

Imad.

 

[Gullycricket]

Hassa is back

 

[shah_1]

lol if he didn't contribute with his wickets, your team probably would have lost.


you have to remember you struggled against afghanistan and lost convincingly to bangladesh at your HOME

Shaheen is a better bowler. FACT

 

[castortroy]

Expect Tahir to go through us

 

[Hasan123]

Imad.

Ideally there would have been a specialist spinner in place of him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh I am in awe of how many wickets we have taken so far.

So far we all are

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow This guy just doesn't want ot give his wicket away.

 

[Chokli]

they should get to 240... that'll be enough for pakistan to implode, even 230

 

[Hasan123]

it's better to give shinwari a chance now than later on

He's not better than Amir and Shaheen.

 

[Sir Alex]

Seriously selfish stuff from Amla. He just need to take the initiative against spin as the other guy is really struggling.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Sarf and Mickey have decided to try everything this series..

Prepation for world cup.

 

[Chokli]

Shaheen is a better bowler. FACT

he is but you have to remember these matches are vital to test out every player

 

[Hasan123]

It would be better for SA if 1 of these 2 got out. Klassen or Miller could take the game away from Pakistan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What would be Pakistan's score now had they batted first?

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a juicy half volley. he is tapping that down to long off for a single haha Most useless 50?

 

[jnaveen1980]

It would be better for SA if 1 of these 2 got out. Klassen or Miller could take the game away from Pakistan.

With no time to get used to they could collapse as well.

 

[Chokli]

Prepation for world cup.

something pakistani fans that lack brain cells fail to understand that

 

[Stalin]

Oh I am in awe of how many wickets we have taken so far.

Wickets are not everything in limited overs Cricket. If I was a Pak fan, I'd rather see SAF 265/5 at the end than 290/9.

 

[iPakistani]

Overs 30-40 SA only made 54. Tight bowling by Pakistan.

 

[Green Patriot]

Such a boring match.
No quick runs and no wickets.
The test matches were better.

 

[Chokli]

What would be Pakistan's score now had they batted first?

185/6

 

[Hasan123]

Markham is better than Dussen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Change of pace is important here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pollock is frustrated with Amla's batting

 

[Greenstorm]

Faheem is a better death overs bowlers than Hassan imo. Lets see.
