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

[jnaveen1980]

De kock dropped it lol

 

[Fahdi]

Didn't carry

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hafeez looking lost outside the off stump today, everything in that corridor is getting edged.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez toying with the South African fielders

 

[letme alone]

serfaz is ten time batter than this de

 

[ask_analyse_act]

hafeez looks everybodys bunny... 15 minutes three boundaries and 3 chances of catching..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Edgefeez

 

[Mansoor3120]

Another lucky day for minnows

 

[m.shah]

Hafeez is so lucky

 

[Sirris]

Dropped. Lol haha

Luck fortunes the brave. The young warrior Hafeez could have very well called in sick when he saw his old bully warming up in nets this morning. The fact he didn't shows the true strength of his character.

 

[Pakhs]

Another drop?

Hafeez barely surviving here.

Scoring some useful runs though somehow

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What happened to fielding today, they known as best fielding side.

 

[Green Patriot]

Need atleast 140 more from the next 20.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA had an opportunity to squeeze Pakistan out. Poor line and poor fielding let them off the hook. 17(15) is flattering.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

looks like hafeez is carrying some sort of luck and might make another quick 50 which will help the team to put a good score and safeguard his place for the CWC

 

[yasir]

Lack of power hitters means we cannot double 30 overs score to 320

 

[Rayyman]

Okay time to hit

 

[Darkness]

Hafeez still playing fearlessly

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn Those screws on the shoe messed up Hafeez's timing.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Lack of power hitters means we cannot double 30 overs score to 320 ������

 

[Mansoor3120]

Hafeez please punish him Andile Phehlukwayo

 

[Green Patriot]

Scoring some useful runs though somehow

Lol yes we'll take everything right now.
Need that 300+ minimum.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hafeez still the better option between Malik and him. Not many games in Asia which make Malik doubtful.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I think a score of 280 would be acceptable from here, SA bowlers won't allow us to go crazy in the last 10 overs so I would keep the expectations of 300 in check for now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ntini doesn't use his last name. He is just using the first name of Phehlukwayo

 

[Hyperion66]

Sarfi should send Hasan ahead of him today if it comes to that.

 

[Bilal7]

300 seems to be on. Malik, Shadab, Imad and Hassan can all bat decently well in current form. Sarfaraz might come off too.

 

[Something]

Imam 24 runs short to become the fastest to 1,000

 

[Mansoor3120]

Pakistan will not score more than 270

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babars wicket was the difference between 320 and 275.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Imam needs to look for some boundaries now he is well set now

 

[Pete Rose]

I suppose the one thing you can say for this new hafeez is that it’s quick or out. No wasting of deliveries. If it were Malik he would scratch around for 20 odd of 30 and be dismissed by the slowest medium pacer in the opposition

 

[Pakhs]

300 is minimum from here.

 

[Hbomb00]

I'm saying it again pak wont score 300 because of lack of you know

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

The danger here is that Pakistan will take Imam's innings as a blueprint for the future

 

[shah_1]

Risky shot

 

[Ozymandiasza]

We deserve to lose here. So many dropped catches

 

[Bilal7]

After all the hate, Imam is striking at 80. A quality player and will be very important for us at the World Cup. Imam + Babar will be our most crucial partnership.

 

[jnaveen1980]

8 players in the circle. Lot of gaps outside the 30 yard circle

 

[Green Patriot]

Superb running.

 

[m.shah]

Good running from imam

 

[Bilal7]

Come on, Imam. A world record awaits.

 

[jnaveen1980]

poor fielding by SA again.

 

[Hbomb00]

man slower balls need to be dispatched

 

[dragon751]

Come on, Imam. A world record awaits.

??

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Imam doing well. Now upped his s/r to around 80. Kid has got some guts and talent.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

I suppose the one thing you can say for this new hafeez is that it’s quick or out. No wasting of deliveries. If it were Malik he would scratch around for 20 odd of 30 and be dismissed by the slowest medium pacer in the opposition

Yes, he should have played around this position earlier in his career.

 

[m.shah]

Big wide

 

[JibranAnsari]

Enough of taking your time imam , time to open up now.

 

[Something]

??

Fastest to a 1000 runs

 

[m.shah]

Cleaver

 

[jnaveen1980]

300 is easy peacy from here.

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh Hafeez! Great Start tuning in!

 

[Pete Rose]

Cleaver

It’s not Ijaz

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Please don't mention Rohit Sharma and Imam in the same sentence

is it because he is an indian or obviously if he is a better player than imam...

it is self explained that the two i mentioned are well seasoned players who are at the peak of their own game compared to imam

 

[jnaveen1980]

This phelo is a certainty for SA? 128 kph trundling with no real accuracy. Teams could target him. Where is olivier?

 

[QalandarFan]

8/Over from here 319!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Those complaining about Imam should chill out a bit now.

The youngster beauty has done well.

Personally I would like to see Shan play, but you can't drop this kid based on his performances.

 

[QalandarFan]

This phelo is a certainty for SA? 128 kph trundling with no real accuracy. Teams could target him. Where is olivier?

He’s an AR. Olivier was the weakest link in both the first games.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Why isn't it appropriate to post something like that? Is it because you dont understand it or is it because you have a twisted mind and take it negatively?

Seems like you are little kid so enjoy

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Did I say they should send Hassan next?

 

[Hbomb00]

Should have left wide balls

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Shan should come in for someone else. I would really have liked to see him play.

 

[Pete Rose]

Just get the feeling that if you can identify andile’s line, you can go to town on his bowling

 

[Pakhs]

Hafeez is playing a chancy but effective innings here.

 

[Pete Rose]

Shan should come in for someone else. I would really have liked to see him play.

Malik

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rohit has some terrific low risk release shots. First he is good against short balls and gets a lot of boundaries with pull or hook but also has that whip through mid wicket.

yes at this stage of his career he is expected to have all that shots in his armoury... he is one of the prime odi batsmen of this era scoring centuries everywhere...You are diving too deep into my comparison thou...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez getting bamboozlwd by andile

 

[m.shah]

Shan should come in for someone else. I would really have liked to see him play.

He should replace fakhar.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hendricks on, time to bash him!

 

[jnaveen1980]

England just has not to choke. They will win the world cup. Only challenge i expect is from Australia.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Surprised Arthur is not giving Shan a chance. I assume it's because of Sarfraz not wanting to drop an established player like Malik.

To be fair it's hard to say who to drop for Shan.

 

[Pakhs]

Just get the feeling that if you can identify andile’s line, you can go to town on his bowling

Depends on wicket on a sticky wicket he can be very effective.

 

[Mp812]

180 in 33 overs can easily be converted to 340 in 50

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hafeez getting bamboozlwd by andile

in the past he was bamboozled by angelo mathews swing and gifting wickets to him too... so im not surprised at all...

 

[Markhor]

I'll be disappointed if we don't reach 300+ from here. Lower order can't ask for a better platform.

 

[m.shah]

Good fielding

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

nice shot

 

[Bilal7]

??

He can become the fastest batsman to 1000 runs ever today.

 

[QalandarFan]

Shot by Imam!
