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

[Stalin]

Get De kock early and game is in the pocket. No way this mediocre saf middle order is chasing 300+

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good over by rabada.

 

[ManFan]

Hasan Ali is going to have an off day. Hopefully not.

 

[ads101]

Hasan Ali )

I mean who's surprised lol, as soon as Imad came in we knew that was going to happen.

 

[Markhor]

Good to see management are thinking by promoting Hasan Ali.

 

[m.shah]

Hasan ali promoted

 

[imshally81]

What's the point of our captain?

At least he shuffled the batting order...

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Wrong time to send Hassan Ali.

 

[QalandarFan]

no, not upto his standard and expectations from his fans

Wasn’t a good innings but I feel like if he hadn’t stayed there we may hVe collapsed for 280/90

 

[Fineline]

Poor Hassan has to hit from ball one!Not easy against Steyn!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why send Hasan at this stage ma

 

[ManFan]

Sarfraz hiding down the order.

Sharamful.

 

[Plumb]

That's the leader Sarfi... making players by asking them to deliver.. haters can come and say he is hiding but that's how you make players

 

[Gotham Cronie]

What's the point of our captain?

Who would you captain and wicket-keep with if you drop him?

 

[Sirris]

Wow Malik is truly finished against decent pace.

Hafeez has truly outperformed Malik in this series and ideally only one of the two should be in the starting XI at the WC.

 

[Mamoon]

Hasan’s batting is complete fluke. If it comes off, it comes off.

 

[Pete Rose]

Wrong time to send Hassan Ali.

You pleaded for it throughout

 

[RehanG]

Sarfraz again hiding..

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Hasan against steyn and rabada!!! Well done sarfaraz

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hasan ali will try to hit every ball and will waste an over i guess...no 320

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pathetic to send hasan ali when you have still batters left. Pathetic stuff

 

[imshally81]

Sarfraz hiding down the order.

Sharamful.

 

[Something]

Who would you captain and wicket-keep with if you drop him?

Keeping Rizwan.

So you're saying he's in the team because there's no one else who can be captain?

 

[Pete Rose]

Bad call to send Hassan Ali for sure

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz yet again not coming out to bat.

Like what's Mickey doing there if he's not coaching then.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

You pleaded for it throughout

I did - at different time in the game. Not now

 

[Buffet]

Hasan against steyn and rabada!!! Well done sarfaraz

It's strange to be honest.

 

[Something]

Pathetic to send hasan ali when you have still batters left. Pathetic stuff

Nothing wrong with it. He scored a 50 in the last game when none of the other batsmen did anything and he can hit.

 

[Omer2002]

pathetic captaincy

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have enough on the board as it is tbh

 

[topspin]

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

Totally agree. There's a reason why he has impressive averages in FC and ODIs.

If he works on his game he could become the batting all rounder at no.5/6 that the team needs.

 

[Plumb]

Hasan up the order only because of last innings .. else shadab should have come

 

[Pete Rose]

Any team with a decent middle order would be closing in on 340 odd

 

[Mamoon]

What's the point of our captain?

He has a dream job. His captaincy is not tied to his or the team’s performance. He is the default leader because apparently there is no one else.

 

[QalandarFan]

Horrible end to the innings here.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is Rizwan in the ODI team for this series?

 

[rhony]

Wow. Incredible score.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Keeping Rizwan.

So you're saying he's in the team because there's no one else who can be captain?

Didn't answer the question.

Who would you captain and wicket-keep with if you drop him?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hasan’s batting is complete fluke. If it comes off, it comes off.

ppl here calling for him to come out and hit a cameo..

 

[Something]

 

[Mueez]

Kaptaan to get a duck.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Is Rizwan in the ODI team for this series?

He's in the ODI squad, yes.

 

[Markhor]

Honestly some of you guys will criticise every little thing.

Yes Hasan Ali promotion hasn't come off but it was the right idea given his slogging ability as we saw in the last match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are going to end around 25 short regardless of final score.

 

[m.shah]

What a catch

 

[Stalin]

Promotion doesn't work.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One dimensional hitters can easily be tied down.

 

[Plumb]

love how Sarfi rubs on the haters by doing it again and again ... keep doing it Sarfi

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz comes at 8 again. Lol.

 

[Green Patriot]

Great catch.

 

[Mamoon]

Dhoni was one of the most selfless captains ever, who demoted himself down the order instead of accumulating hundreds in the top four.

Sarfraz however, has taken selflessness to the next level. Instead of demoting himself, he is kind enough to not play at all.

 

[imshally81]

Sarfaraz on..

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Sarfraz, don't talk

 

[ManFan]

Steyn with brilliant figures for this track.

 

[Something]

Didn't answer the question.

Who would you captain and wicket-keep with if you drop him?

Rizwan can keep. I answered the question. Anyone can captain. Give it to Hafeez, Shan, Malik, Babar or even Imad

 

[imshally81]

Good batting order shuffling by Sarfaraz...

 

[Pete Rose]

So far, Pakistan have missed out about 20 runs off Malik and about 12 off Hassan.

 

[Chokli]

Wrong time to send Hassan Ali.

yeah now with hindsight

 

[Something]

ppl here calling for him to come out and hit a cameo..

Nothing wrong with it

 

[RyanRyan10]

Imad Wasim has proved that he is the only real allrounder in the Pak team
Not world class still much better than the fake ones like Faheem

 

[Asif321]

Imad been impressive

 

[topspin]

last 2 overs have been awful. Ideally need 15 off this last over.

 

[QalandarFan]

by Imad!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's in the ODI squad, yes.

I would have put him in today instead of Sarfraz especially after the incident despite him apologizing and no action taken against him.

Now for the next game I would play Rizwan and drop Malik and Sarfraz and bring in Shan. I'd give one more shot to Fakhar next game as he's the one who can score at 90-100 SR from the start if he gets going that is.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Rizwan can keep. I answered the question. Anyone can captain. Give it to Hafeez, Shan, Malik, Babar or even Imad

Yup, let's change the ODI captain two series before the World Cup.

 

[imshally81]

Talk Nah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Faf has horrible field setting . Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong with SA. Pakistan already got a match winning total.

 

[Plumb]

Brilliant From Sarfi again with the batting shuffle haters can go take a cold shower and cry

 

[babajee]

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

Rana is better.

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz joins the pary and

 

[ARK Rafay]

That's how you play! Sarfraz to All Players

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rabada is another clueless death bowler from SA.

 

[imshally81]

318 to win...

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

yeah now with hindsight

Don't be catty. I said it much before he got out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

317-6 in 50 overs.

 

[Pete Rose]

So yeah, it was 350 if we had someone better than Malik and not promoted hasan

 

[Asif321]

Lovely from imad

 

[Plumb]

Sarfaraz Rubbing on his haters.... Brilliant loving it)

 

[RyanRyan10]

Captain's SR 200
Leading from the front
