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

[shah_1]

Malik aka chris Martin

Ugly shot

 

[Asif321]

iMac showing he is better than Faheem

 

[Markhor]

What is this South African fielding ?!

Never thought I'd see such a sloppy display from them.

 

[Plumb]

ooo man Sarfi hiding again isn't it.... such a coward isn't it... comon people no fun.. start the criticism 1...2..3.... here we go

 

[Pete Rose]

The one problem here is that despite being in the team for 2 years, Faheem and to an extent Imad have not really improved their batting in the lower order especially Faheem.

You have to see how many games they have played. People lionizing Malik and to a lesser extent Razzaq were big big underperformers

 

[imshally81]

Another

 

[indianpanacea]

Brilliant by imad

 

[ARK Rafay]

Man I'm sold! Imad at no. 7 any day over Faheem, Shadab and Hasan in the death overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Another one! what batting

 

[Anchorman]

Some of the comments here would have you believe we're 178-7 with 3 overs to go.

We are absolutely bossing this. Imad has been brilliant. Great move by the management and Sarfraz to move him up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not sure if it's me but Imad's bat doesn't seem to look that thick as the bats are normally nowadays.

 

[m.shah]

Shot

 

[shah_1]

Well done Imad

Game changer

 

[Fineline]

Imad playing one hell of an innings!

 

[Mueez]

Imad playing a very handy knock!

 

[ManFan]

Imad is one of these players who can do no right. On the contrary, the likes of Haris, Shadab etc. can do no wrong.

Imad's bowling is one-dimensional and his batting is vital but he prefers to play stupid scoops most of the time that don't come off.

He's been relatively poor with both bat and ball for a year now so let's see if this game can turn it around for him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Steyn never know how to bowl in the death. Got cleaned up in the IPL several times. In several ODIs as well.

 

[ads101]

Imad doing great, happy to see.

 

[Plumb]

Man I'm sold! Imad at no. 7 any day over Faheem, Shadab and Hasan in the death overs

It always look good when your top order makes a big one

 

[Shafi]

We need to find 2 pacers and 1 batsman from PSL for our World Cup Squad.

 

[indianpanacea]

Next match Sarfaraz should open instead of out of form fakhar...

 

[Markhor]

Imad has a 38 batting average after 34 matches. That is better than the recognized batsmen top of the order.

Don't know why Imad gets bits and pieces tag whilst pseudo allrounder cowlasher Faheem is hailed for his once in a blue moon hits.

 

[ManFan]

Steyn never know how to bowl in the death. Got cleaned up in the IPL several times. In several ODIs as well.

His entire ODI career has been miss or hit, depending on what day it is.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

15 off the over. Styen

 

[Omer2002]

which pitch in southafrica is it where even 400 isnt enough i cant remember...

 

[imshally81]

Shoaib

 

[shah_1]

300

Extremely poor bowlimg

 

[Plumb]

Whenever our top 3 batsmen will deliver 8/10 times your lower order ll respond

 

[Mamoon]

Had “Rana jee” played this cameo, the forum would have crashed and the Faheem vs Pandya thread spammed.

 

[Titan24]

Imad also silencing his critics after Imam.

 

[Pakhs]

Imad playing a gem

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide

 

[QalandarFan]

Now 330 is back on!

 

[ARK Rafay]

It always look good when your top order makes a big one

In this modern era you expect them.

 

[Anchorman]

This has been Pakistan's best batting performance against a non-minnow since the CT final.

 

[topspin]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] what did I tell you about Imad's batting and striking ability compared to Faheem's?

 

[Green Patriot]

300 up YASSSS.

 

[imshally81]

300 Up...

 

[nextover666666]

Imad wasim hitting steyn who would of thought lol

 

[Plumb]

Now people are Imad supporter ... how the shift happens amazing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You have to see how many games they have played. People lionizing Malik and to a lesser extent Razzaq were big big underperformers

True only 18 games isn't much when compared to the 2 names you've mentioned who as you put were underperformers.

 

[Markhor]

Had “Rana jee” played this cameo, the forum would have crashed and the Faheem vs Pandya thread spammed.

Rana Faheem is a poor man's Rana Naved.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

LOL at Rameez praising the promotion of Imad now after criticising it earlier.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] what did I tell you about Imad's batting and striking ability compared to Faheem's?

He has a very clean swing, if he works hard he can easily become a specialist batsman in this team.

 

[indianpanacea]

Next match
Imam
Sarfarax
Babar
Imad
Hafeez
Shoaib
Talat Hussein
Shahdab
Amir
Hassan
Shaheen

 

[m.shah]

Stupid shot from imad

 

[Pete Rose]

True only 18 games isn't much when compared to the 2 names you've mentioned who as you put were underperformers.

Meant to say afridi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imad telling Rabada to take it easy to Malik

Rabada obliges and gets him out

 

[Fineline]

Now people are Imad supporter ... how the shift happens amazing

Better than being the supporter of someone like Faheem!

 

[imshally81]

 

[Something]

"Maarne waala ball tha ye"

lol

 

[indianpanacea]

By shoaib

 

[Markhor]

Imad is playing a much better version of Malik's innings here.

 

[Sirris]

Besides Fakhar's early wicket the match has been very positive with everybody making a contribution. A rare sight.

 

[Plumb]

LOL at Rameez praising the promotion of Imad now after criticising it earlier.

People today wont say about Sarfi... because it worked whenever it wont work people ll bash Sarfi

 

[QalandarFan]

LOL at Rameez praising the promotion of Imad now after criticising it earlier.

This guy

 

[Pete Rose]

That’s pretty much it for Malik

 

[barah_admi]

This pitch seems to be (I cant watch the match just yet) a 350-380 kinda pitch. Remember how SA chase....Pakistan are in for a tough, tough night.

 

[ARK Rafay]

El Malik Sahab can't handle pace.

 

[m.shah]

Malik will be Malik

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Meant to say afridi

Razzaq and Afridi I guess? If so then yes big underperformers.

 

[Fahdi]

He is not a top bat yet but the young man is definitely on route

Yes but no excuse for being 10-15 runs short. Needs to pace his innings better from the start.

 

[QalandarFan]

Decent innings I wanna say by Malik?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

ugly innings of malik comes to an end...

 

[Chokli]

malik needs to go, keep him in the 15 for his izaat

 

[Plumb]

Better than being the supporter of someone like Faheem!

It was for posters who say pak cricket is finished and buried..

 

[Markhor]

Wow Malik is truly finished against decent pace.

 

[Pete Rose]

Not good enough for an innings with the platform. He has to go

 

[Sirris]

Next match
Imam
Sarfarax
Babar
Imad
Hafeez
Shoaib
Talat Hussein
Shahdab
Amir
Hassan
Shaheen

What did you see in this match so far that made you consider opening with Sarfaraz?

 

[imshally81]

Hasan on..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hasan Ali would be handy here.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Decent innings I wanna say by Malik?

no, not upto his standard and expectations from his fans

 

[Green Patriot]

Hasan Ali )

 

[Pete Rose]

Razzaq and Afridi I guess? If so then yes big underperformers.

Yes

 

[Omer2002]

thats my point we only have three pacers i think they have under estimated the pitch

 

[QalandarFan]

They send in Hasan! YES!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Imad is class. Been saying it for years.

 

[Fineline]

It was for posters who say pak cricket is finished and buried..

Alright!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

What's the point of our captain?

 

[Plumb]

Malik shouldn't be in playing 11 he is very weak against short bowling and on his last legs.. for WC he shouldn't be in playing 11. Harris should replace him
