South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Centurion| 30th Nov | Pakistan innings

[MenInG]

All to play for Pakistan as they would like to end the year of cricket against SA with a 3-0!

 

[Kianig89]

Is it an early start

 

[Red Devil]

Yep. toss is in 10 mins

 

[Sadevdesai]

3-0 will look good for us and cheer up the Indians too !!!!

 

[Down2Earth]

whenever we've won a series we always play lethargically in the dead rubber but i hope that's not the case here. we lack the killer instinct and i hope we do try to win today's match.

 

[Ims1]

i think Morkel & Philly will be back in 11 .

Ajmal didn't, but our batsmen certainly did.

We even gave Dhoni the MOM

 

[Colt]

Thanks AB, we can't chase... We would of batted if we won the toss anyways.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

SA have won the toss, and will ball first

 

[Hawkeye]

JUNAID is injured (as expected, he was having troubles in the last match)

so Hafeez, Afridi, Junaid and Jamshed not playing.

Good for a change and good decision

 

[Nuekboi]

Saffers bowling first again? They really love chasing don't they. #hasn'twonchasingsincemarch

 

[Kianig89]

SA bowling pitch could be tough

 

[imranraf]

Why the heck are they playing Abdul Rehman for?

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Hafeez,Afridi,Jamshed and Junaid not playing today!
Time for Umar Akmal to come up the order and get rid of the excuses.

 

[Kianig89]

whole sale changes in PAk team

 

[mmkextreme_1]

damn, they should have given Jamshed one last chance

 

[Colt]

Why Tanvir, i don't see him playing against SL..

 

[Red Devil]

4 changes

Afridi Hafeez Junaid and Jamshed out

AR Amin Shafiq and Kukri In

 

[HASHAM2]

no Last Chance for Jamshed

so His Time is Over i think

 

[amjad145]

Are Pakistan batting first?

 

[Kianig89]

who will open with Shehzad

 

[Kianig89]

who will be the scapegoat as opener

 

[mmkextreme_1]

why oh why is kukri playinggg....this is what I hate about Pak cricket

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Are Pakistan batting first?

yes

 

[ritzy_123]

What is the team today i have heard Afridi Hafeez not playing today?? so are we going with batsmen short today?

 

[amjad145]

who will open with Shehzad

Prof

 

[Red Devil]

who will be the scapegoat as opener

Maqsood or Shafiq.

 

[Kianig89]

if we can bat well then job is done

 

[ritzy_123]

guys what is the team today?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Prof

he is not playing either...probably shafiq will open with Shehzad

 

[Red Devil]

Prof

He's not playing.

 

[imranraf]

Our bowling is very weak today. Hopefully, we score a lot of runs.

 

[imshally81]

Only 5 bowling options for pak

 

[Nuekboi]

No Hafeez, no Jamshed. Maqsood opening today?

 

[Kianig89]

Maqsood or Shafiq.

i hope its not MAqsood but then Shafiq he has been circulated all the way from 3, 4, 5, 6 and now at 2

 

[amjad145]

What's the weather like? It's not going to rain is it?

 

[HASHAM2]

how many changes in SA Side

 

[pakistani pride]

Whats the idea playing a failure like shafiq. This means ua still at six.

 

[Red Devil]

guys what is the team today?

Post no 18

 

[Colt]

Rehman and Tanvir just being given a game because they were in the Squad.

We don't need either against SL, maybe Rehman if one of the spinners gets injured but Tanvir is absolutely useless.

 

[Kianig89]

SHehzad Shafiq Maqsood Misbah Akmal Amin BIlawal Anwar Tanvir Rehman Ajmal

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

OMG! We're finally testing out our bench! This is fantastic!

 

[Colt]

It'll be interesting to see who opens, does Shafiq open in domestic?
I always thought he is a middle order player.

 

[Red Devil]

how many changes in SA Side

3

Kallis, Smith and Steyn not playing.

 

[Asif321]

lets see what our bench will do

 

[Kianig89]

i hope Shafiq n Amin fires today

 

[Colt]

What's the weather like? It's not going to rain is it?

No rain hopefully, forecast is predicting a 20% chance..

 

[Red Devil]

It'll be interesting to see who opens, does Shafiq open in domestic?
I always thought he is a middle order player.

No. but he has opened before in ODIs.

 

[Hawkeye]

Umar Amin will open as per lineup shown.

He has opened in domestics too.

 

[pakistani pride]

Too many changes and players comin in have no future in pak cricket. Should have tried prof at six and ua akmal at four.

 

[imshally81]

What is the safe total?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

OMG! We're finally testing out our bench! This is fantastic!

i would hardly include any of those players on our "bench"

 

[imranraf]

Umer Akmal must come before Asad Shafiq unless we lose too many early wickets. Four is a bit too many changes for me. Not looking good for whitewash.

 

[Aman]

Too many changes and players comin in have no future in pak cricket. Should have tried prof at six and ua akmal at four.

This

Shafiq, Amin, Tanvir and Rehman...

Sharjeel, Babar and Aslam would have been so much better..

 

[Aman]

i hope Shafiq n Amin fires today

I don't both are rubbish.

Give Haris, Sharjeel, Babar and Aslam a fair go.

 

[coy0607]

career losers amin and tanvir back in the team- lot of passengers today

 

[Pakprideuk]

Personally feel Amin will open. I think he considers himself a top-order batsmen anyway.

 

[Aman]

career losers amin and tanvir back in the team- lot of passengers today

Don't see Pakistan scoring more than 240.

 

[imshally81]

Pitch report?

 

[pakistani pride]

Passengers coming. Dissapointed we had a great chance to whitewash them. Now it looks more of a b team.

 

[JilaWatan]

that's fine. nothing wrong with giving everyone a chance. remember misbah is notorious for not making wholesale changes in dead rubbers. so maybe this in itself is a blessing

[Bashira_taeli]

It'll be a farce if Umar is again send to bat at 5.

 

[JilaWatan]

who knows amin might shine as an opener,.if they play him as such

[Hawkeye]

Good batting pitch.

Should make 300+

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan gonna lose I think
Pitch is flat need atleast 280

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[Hawkeye]

Happy for Amin

 

[shahidafridi123]

what about pink kit?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Maybe Misbah should have gone with Asad as an opener. He doesnt have any place in a LOI middle order.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Amin and Shahzad are opening the batting. It is good that they are giving Maqsood a run at a fixed place.

 

[Boi]

Really want Amin to fire today.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[jattafridi]

Shez gone

 

[Asif321]

Shazzy gone DUCK

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

100 to 0 lol

 

[Premier Cricketer]

Shehzad gone. Inconsistency once again. This is why he has remained a 28-30 average player.

 

[Nuekboi]

100 and 0 for Shehzad

 

[imranraf]

This is why Shehzad has not been able to establish himself. No footwork there. Just a lazy push and he is gone.

 

[Nuekboi]

I dread to see Amin and Shafiq batting together.

 

[Asif321]

Shafiq bhai agaye
