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

[Chokli]

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

give me proof

 

[ManFan]

Great score but could have been at least 10-15 runs more had Imam and Malik showed a little more intent early on.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

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

Yes we know you don't like Malik.

 

[QalandarFan]

318 is the target! Well Played, to most of the batsman!

 

[Ummii]

Is that Imad Wasim?

 

[imshally81]

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

Always complaining...

 

[Plumb]

Hasan played 4 balls... yes Malik shouldn't be in the team at all

 

[babajee]

Good effort in the end. Wish Babar got his century though.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

give me proof

nah...you don't count

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Whiners are going to whine.

Everyone would have taken a total of 317 before the match began.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imad making the difference.

 

[Hitman]

) Iman giving it back to the media and the critics who question his place in the team because he is Inzamam's nephew.

Good one, young man!

 

[castortroy]

De kock is key. Can't allow him to settle

Kind of batsman that can take the game away in the first 15 overs

 

[Markhor]

317-6.

Strong batting display from Pakistan. Ought to have made another 20 runs had Imam been more aggressive and Malik wasn't such a dud against pace, but given our limitations it's a good performance.

 

[Plumb]

Couple things proved..

-Sarfaraz still the leader
- Hafeez still steyn's bunny

 

[Asif321]

Imam being emotional saying thanksbto Pakistani media for criticism

 

[Pete Rose]

Imam should shut up about the media stuff

 

[Markhor]

) Iman giving it back to the media and the critics who question his place in the team because he is Inzamam's nephew.

Good one, young man!

) Imam delivering one hell of a promo.

 

[ARK Rafay]

The reason behind this Imad's performance was that he realized he dosen't has to play scoops

 

[Shafi]

30 runs short!! We need to bowl very well to win this match.

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam in his interview

 

[barah_admi]

Good score on against most sides but SA are monstrous in a chase...but if the bowlers pick wickets up front like they have throughout the tour, there can be serious trouble for the home side. Anyway, win or lose, a really good batting performance...finally.

 

[RehanG]

"Graaand Flower and mieecky Aurthurr" Imam ul Haq

 

[PakPremi]

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

like most posters here has no understanding of the game.

 

[neonoir]

Imam fuelling the omnipresent fire if he fails next couple of innings, the Pakistani media take no prisoners.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I like Imam's fiestiness. Different from the regular 'boys are trying hard and thanks to Grant bhai..."

 

[QalandarFan]

People will always complain ) This is our game!

 

[Mainul]

If Pakistani bowlers can't defend this total their bowlers will be regarded as overhyped

 

[ask_analyse_act]

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

I agree, post CWC he might even captain this team and will be the lonely allrounder provided hafeez and malik retires

 

[Pete Rose]

Hasan played 4 balls... yes Malik shouldn't be in the team at all

Malik scored at barely 100. His position and match situation requires an SR of 150 odd. Hasan Ali, missed three balls at a time when you get at least ten of those

 

[imshally81]

30 runs short!! We need to bowl very well to win this match.

We are always short some runs... )

 

[ask_analyse_act]

spot on

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes we know you don't like Malik.

The numbers don’t like Malik as well

 

[yasir]

From Pakistani standard that’s lot of runs...

But lack of power down order is an issue. Malik, Hafeez, Sarfraz are spin bashers, not sure how much value they will add to take bowlers to cleaners when you have a chance

 

[Plumb]

Need a gif for Imam

 

[topspin]

Rana is better.

lol you know deep down Imad is way better. He's produced a few 50s and useful cameos in ODIs hence why he averages 37 with a decent SR of 95.

Faheem bats in a similar position with an average 3 TIMES LESS with a SR of 75.

In which world is your Rana jee better than Imad with the bat?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

30 runs short!! We need to bowl very well to win this match.

It's a D/N game, if the bowlers can't defend that, then it will be because they bowled badly. Much easier to score 300+ batting first.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

We are always short some runs... )

that batting unit has delivered the runs required to play with i guess... I expect this to be the frontline bowling lineup going forward for the CWC...will see if they can defend

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

The numbers don’t like Malik as well

haha

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez Sobers has proven he can hit the pacers. Leave his name out of it.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Imad Wasim is vital to this team because of his bowling he bowls flatter trajectory scuffing the bowl from one side for reverse later on plus most of time he is econimical in initial overs ( which is the same output as Amir plus reverse swing) if he can learn to flight and turn ball for the middle overs he could prove asset as in previous. Faheem however is only bowler and even for a bowler standard his batting has regressed much to Chris Martin level 0(1) plus Faheem’s performance as a bowler has also nose dived

Agreed having lost just 3 wickets inside 40 overs, should have scored 350. That's one of the main things that seperates the top 5 in ODIs from the rest.

 

[Mueez]

If only Amir takes a five-for my day will be truly great.

 

[Dark_Horse]

He averages 40plus after today’s game

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Malik scored at barely 100. His position and match situation requires an SR of 150 odd. Hasan Ali, missed three balls at a time when you get at least ten of those

Today I learned 115 is barely 100.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 key wickets are QDK Faf and Miller

The stats also say that Imad is better than Shadab with the bat but that isn't the case at all.

 

[QalandarFan]

Let’s not forget Rassie

 

[PakPremi]

If Pakistani bowlers can't defend this total their bowlers will be regarded as overhyped

If Pak can score this much then so can SA playing at home. Pak bowlers have defended or nearly defended lower totals; Pak bowlers are not over hyped, infact they are not hyped at all.

 

[Pete Rose]

Today I learned 115 is barely 100.

Depends on the size of your amibiton.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Need some hitters in the lower order, at least 1 reliable one (not Faheem or Asif Ali)

 

[dragon751]

30 runs short!! We need to bowl very well to win this match.

oh come on ..... is there no satisfying you?

 

[Adijazz1706]

Pakistan are not getting 130-140 off the last 10 unless ABD starts playing for them

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Depends on the size of your amibiton.

Right, let's drop him for the de Villiers and Kohlis roaming the streets of Pakistan.
