South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Centurion | Jan 25, 2019 | Pakistan Innings Thread

[ARK Rafay]

Classic!

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam )

 

[Asif321]

Chachu ko khush kia time to be out

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[QalandarFan]

I think Asif Ali shouldn't have been dropped.He should have been given this series as a last chance!

No Asif Ali was rightfully dropped he was worse than Hasan Ali. Might as well put Hasan at 6 if we’re gonna play him.

 

[Pete Rose]

Bad shot, not good for the team

 

[Green Patriot]

Who will Saifi send?

 

[Fineline]

Here comes Sarfi!

 

[nextover666666]

Love imams reaction after hitting the century well done

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ramiz doesn't like his gestures. Played well though. Lower order can do the job.

 

[JibranAnsari]

When its time to thrash you get out , how typical.

 

[Shafi]

Imam needs to improve his strike rate little bit more so he will be a very good player for us.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

threw away his wicket...

 

[QalandarFan]

Hasan should come out next.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] people will rather have Fakhar who scores 20 at 100 SR than someone like Imam who scores 100 at 88 SR. After a long time, Pakistan has found an opener who has shown that he is not mentally weak and people want him out.

I can only laugh at people who were fixated with ‘nepotism’. He is no Rohit and never will be, but considering our pitiful standards, he is more than good enough to make the team on merit. He is here to stay, but I am afraid the Navy hack is not.

 

[Ozeirk]

300 should be the goal

 

[ARK Rafay]

Maddy here to clutch few dils'scoop here

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Imad before Sarfu? Where is he hiding?

 

[Fineline]

Here comes Sarfi!

Nevermind!Its Imad!My bad!

 

[Hyperion66]

Shabash Imam!! built a perfect platform for his team, now its up to the lower order.

 

[Ozeirk]

Why drag the navy into it?

 

[Mamoon]

We are missing Faheem. His 0 (1) would have provided us with much needed momentum.

 

[QalandarFan]

Thanks for trying to ruin a good thread by tagging a known attention seeker. Baffled people not only do this but need to validate their opinions from someone like him.

I know right! Some people

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Imam 100 & out! Come on bro!

He should have stayed there until 45th

A good innings nevertheless!

 

[Green Patriot]

The spectator )

 

[ManFan]

Maddy here to clutch few dils'scoop here

He should try to hit it and not play fancy shots that he can’t execute.

 

[ads101]

Has Sarfraz completely lost confidence in his batting? Extremely disappointing he isn't coming in even at this situation.

 

[Pete Rose]

Give it a rest Rameez

 

[Fahdi]

Good innings overall but was 10-15 runs short off what he should be. A top batsman would have scored 125+ on the same number of balls.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz once again hiding down the order and sending bits and pieces players ahead instead.

 

[Fineline]

We are missing Faheem. His 0 (1) would have provided us with much needed momentum.

Lol!Thankgod that loser is not playing.Glad to see his back!

 

[Pete Rose]

So annoyed right now

 

[JibranAnsari]

My prediction ,298.

 

[Ozeirk]

Anything less than 300 South Africa will have a chance

 

[m.shah]

What a terrible knock MALIK is playing

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Say what you want about Rameez, but he's good at diffusing any tension between the teams and supporters. And making it all friendly. That's a good quality as a commentator.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Just don't have the power hitters unfortunately

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

I can only laugh at people who were fixated with ‘nepotism’. He is no Rohit and never will be, but considering our pitiful standards, he is more than good enough to make the team on merit. He is here to stay, but I am afraid the Navy hack is not.

You've got a point, but hey why that ugly reference to 'navy'?

 

[CricketDon]

Another selfish innings from imam comes to an end.

Uncle I si I mean selector watching on...

 

[Bilal7]

When its time to thrash you get out , how typical.

Lol, he got out thrashing. You guys can be so funny at times.

Well done, Imam. Very good innings and you did your job to perfection. Time for the other batsmen to do put their hands up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two of the most dangerous slog over hitters are at the crease.

 

[mrtaim3]

We dont have a slogger.

 

[Mamoon]

We are ahead at the moment, but this game will go to the wire. South Africa will not fold easily on this wicket.

De Kock will of course be the key wicket. He bats for 20+ overs, we lose.

 

[m.shah]

we are missing faheem. His 0 (1) would have provided us with much needed momentum.

lol

 

[Pete Rose]

Say what you want about Rameez, but he's good at diffusing any tension between the teams and supporters. And making it all friendly. That's a good quality as a commentator.

Wot?

 

[Titan24]

He's gonna look extremely silly if he gets out without accelerating.

As I type that he's gone.

I guess some people here would take Sahibzada's 1 ball 1 run innings with SR of 100 then Imam's 100 with SR of 87.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Phehluwakyo is bowling well, good slower balls.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Well Imad at the least gets something to do.

Can he show his worth with the bat?

 

[ads101]

Imad and Malik literally play the same way, they try and eek out the singles and struggle to really slog out those boundaries. Sarfraz really should have stepped up and come in here.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We need atleast 320 on the board. Seems like a really good pitch.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Maddy here to clutch few dils'scoop here

he is been trying that ever since 1947 lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

No boundaries coming.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Just don't have the power hitters unfortunately

We need to bat sensibly and instead of going for 320; aim for 300!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good innings overall but was 10-15 runs short off what he should be. A top batsman would have scored 125+ on the same number of balls.

His conversion rate is good as once he goes past 50 more chances are he will convert it to 100 despite the slow SR which he definitely needs to work on which I've mentioned time and again before as well.

He needs to work on his fitness and running between wickets.

 

[Ozeirk]

Are they waiting for Steyn and rabada to increase the scoring rate or just want to bat out the overs with whatever they can get?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Imad cant hit the bowl hard. Saifi shud of come in

 

[QalandarFan]

This has been terrible from Malik singles aren’t gonna get us anywhere!

 

[PakPremi]

Thanks for trying to ruin a good thread by tagging a known attention seeker. Baffled people not only do this but need to validate their opinions from someone like him.

Yes he should tag the guys that have user name starting with "Pak" lol

 

[Bilal7]

We are missing Faheem. His 0 (1) would have provided us with much needed momentum.

)

Nice.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Say what you want about Rameez, but he's good at diffusing any tension between the teams and supporters. And making it all friendly. That's a good quality as a commentator.

I missed it, what did the spectator do?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Who bet that hassan will come in next?

 

[Fahdi]

The lack of hitters is about to become evident. I don't think we can get 310 here. A well set Hafeez or Babar was needed here.

 

[xricket]

Batsmen playing for themselves, rather than for team. Imad should have slogged more against this slow pace bowlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If Pakistan don't end up getting 320 it'll be rather disappointing.

 

[Ahmed216]

Even Hasan Ali is better than Imad

 

[castortroy]

4 of the 6 overs will be bowled by rabada and Steyn

 

[Hyperion66]

Malko is lol against pace

 

[ManFan]

We haven’t hit 10 or more runs since the 36fh over, the over before Hafeez got out

 

[Markhor]

Malik FGS do your damn job and at least hit the spinner.

 

[imshally81]

 

[QalandarFan]

Hit the spinner at the VERY LEAST!!!

 

[Oligochaetes]

This is already a matchwinning score. Saffers ain't chasing this

 

[shariqnoor]

I'd be happy with 300. I don't think we have enough firepower to accelerate here. Unless malik goes berserk and stays till the end.

 

[dragon751]

where is the acceleration?

 

[Amjid Javed]

34 off last 5 overs... pretty poor to say we have wickets in hand!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

pathetic from Imad. Can't bat at all.

 

[shah_1]

Malik has been so poor

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Wot?

What Wot?

 

[xricket]

Imad should hit every ball from here on.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

people calling imam's century as selfish should answer who would have scored had he not and got pak score past 250... he didnt score the last match and didnt team got bundled for 125-8.. as far as the teams requirement is concerned he has done what is required from him for the team to set up a total to fight
