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

[Hyperion66]

I don’t think it is political. PCB is a shameless board that has always protected its wrongdoers without having the guts to do the right thing.

However, you are right. It is time to move on, there is no point.

Except Sethi though, he seemed genuine and proactive.

 

[Sirris]

Test cricket at it best

Lovin it!

Should've dropped Imam for Shan.

 

[shah_1]

What was that shot?

 

[Rana]

I dont understand why Pakistan sometimes appear to be a minnow side with the bat in batting conditions.

3 overs 4 runs in batting conditions. you won the toss and elected to bat!

 

[Hbomb00]

Fakhar haha

 

[Mansoor3120]

And he is important because of these slogs

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar fails again should be dropped next game surely

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Idiotic shot by Fakhar.

Short ball does for him again

 

[Rana]

Fakhar needs to be dropped for a long time

 

[mosh101]

Standard stuff from Fakhar

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fakhar continues to fail.

 

[Omer2002]

surely Shaan now...

 

[Asif321]

Top edge seems to be favourite shot of fakhar

 

[Pakhs]

Fakhar seems to be hopeless on these bouncier pitches.

 

[Titan24]

Idiotic shot by Fakhar.

Short ball does for him again

It wasnt exactly a short ball even

 

[Rana]

Fakhar Zaman v Ahmad Shahzad thread coming up

 

[Asif321]

Collapse on the way

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Lol at that shot. Even a schoolboy wouldn't play it.

 

[Darkness]

Pakistan making another debutant a legend lol

 

[Amjid Javed]

Once again a tame and cheap dismissal

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

so the tape ball tuller gone again

 

[Adijazz1706]

Forget Imam, kick Fakhar out for Shan.

 

[shah_1]

Shan Masood should is so much better. We don't have too many options but this hack shouldn't play ODI.

 

[MenInG]

We are undoubtedly the dot ball kings in limited overs cricket

hint check Ahmed Shehzad's record.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar off the mark straight away.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar has been exposed badly!!!!

 

[MMHS]

If FZ is to play, he should bat at 3 and Babar should open. His every dismissal is so ugly looking, very little clue of pace/bounce either.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Fakhar fails again should be dropped next game surely

Jesus. The guy averages above 50 at an elite SR. You don't do that without big hitting, and some times it won't work.

 

[Hyperion66]

What a hack Fakhar turned out to be, can't believe we lost CT to this guy

 

[IAJ]

Next two matches Shan Masood should play over Zaman. You can’t go and wait for 10-12 matches befare he scores a 40 from 33 balls.

 

[ABMiller]

Fakhar Sehwag Zaman Warner Gone

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

I have seriously beginning to think "the hack" Shehzad was better player than this FK tape ball tuller

 

[Mamoon]

This South African tour is for Fakhar what the 2013 tour was for Nasir Jamshed. I don’t see him recovering from this.

 

[JattMaula]

People are being unfairly harsh on Fakhar.

He has more centuries than SRT in ICC finals.

Averages 55 with strike rate of 96.

These are goat stats.

 

[Mansoor3120]

This South African tour is for Fakhar what the 2013 tour was for Nasir Jamshed. I don’t see him recovering from this.

Yes you are right bcoz he is too big hack

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Fakher is not a batsman --a hack tuller like Afridi...Afridi atleast could bowl

 

[b.lesner]

If everyone knows Fakhar would fail in this match also because of poor form and bad technique why did they play him . Why not Shan masood who scored heavily on domestic ODI and Pakistan A odi series

 

[Rana]

This South African tour is for Fakhar what the 2013 tour was for Nasir Jamshed. I don’t see him recovering from this.

Two very different types of players

I can smell sarcasm

 

[Ummii]

When we will get rid of Fakhar ?

 

[Rana]

4 overs 9-1

Why is Grant Flower still our batting coach??????

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Two very different types of players

Both Hacks

 

[MMHS]

Only thing that worked for Fakhar is that he made a great start (won't go to that No ball), and then got ZIM reserves just when he was facing drop. The amount PCB has invested to make an opener out of FZ, had they invested that for Amin, probably would have been a far better opener by now.

 

[Mamoon]

Two very different types of players

Jamshed’s technical deficiencies were exposed by South Africa, and he never recovered. Fakhar is treading on the same path.

 

[Titan24]

I dont know what Grant Flower has been doing in the dressing room, everybody has the same weaknesses even when they debuted and sometimes batsmen have worsen under him as well.

 

[Hyperion66]

How could you forget that double ton? Never seen anyone ripping Zimbabwe apart like that, unreal stuff

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Babar is due for century

 

[shah_1]

Four runs

53.12 after today's dismissal.

 

[Rana]

Babar doesnt look like he will last long here either

 

[IAJ]

Jesus. The guy averages above 50 at an elite SR. You don't do that without big hitting, and some times it won't work.

Lol, take out his 210 against Zimbawe and that ton against India after getting a life, not much is left to be excited for. Especially you have a guy at the bench who can play the short ball well.

 

[Baigel]

There's some South African on the field, sledging the Pakistani's in Urdu

 

[Pakhs]

Fakhar is finished. A hack whose luck has run out.

He should play T20s only, where his ugly slogs can come off every now and then.

He will be more of a success on low bounce truer England pitches like last time.

 

[MMHS]

Babar is looking great, needs to dodge one fatal ball, a century is there for the taking today.

 

[Hyperion66]

Shot Babar

 

[JattMaula]

Babar very easily dealt with Steyn in tests.

He is gonna tear apart him in ODIs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I see Shan Masood is the new poster boy for the cheerleaders here to rip apart in the coming months.

Dumb fans deserve this dumb team. Any Pakistan cricketer with any self-respect would be downright mad to represent some of the ‘fans’ here.

 

[Baigel]

Imam is such an annoying batsman

 

[Asif321]

Jesus. The guy averages above 50 at an elite SR. You don't do that without big hitting, and some times it won't work.

It’s not working since playing with Zimbabwe

 

[Rana]

Where is Imam going with this?

 

[babajee]

Only thing that worked for Fakhar is that he made a great start (won't go to that No ball), and then got ZIM reserves just when he was facing drop. The amount PCB has invested to make an opener out of FZ, had they invested that for Amin, probably would have been a far better opener by now.

What drop was he facing? He was good in New Zealand when everyone else was falling like a pack of cards.

 

[Mamoon]

Imam has a long way to go, but he is comfortably a better batsman than Fakhar and will have a longer career.

His basics are so superior.

 

[Baigel]

See...He'll play 12 dots and then run down the pitch in pressure

disagree on Amin but yeah Fakher has been given just way too many chances. The guy cant play spin, cant play bounce ----just a fluke in CT17

 

[Rana]

Thats it boy, youve got the shots so play them!

 

[Nov15]

What's the expiry date on Fakhar Zaman's CT Final Halo effect?

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar Zaman has been getting out like that for his entire career.
Tells u a bit about about his mental capabilities

 

[Shandarchowka]

Steyn vs Babar... got the popcorn ready!!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

agreed . he just needs bigger heart

 

[Fahdi]

It’s not working since playing with Zimbabwe

Scored well against New Zealand in the last series

 

[Mamoon]

He will be more of a success on low bounce truer England pitches like last time.

He was hit on the helmet in England thrice, and got a life in the final.

He will fail against good bowling in any conditions 8/10 times.

Champions Trophy was his moment in the sun, where everything went his and the team’s win.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Fakhar's poor run here has saved Imam from criticism for now

 

[Rana]

No brainfa*t please Imam

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another beautiful start

 

[Hbomb00]

STeyn giving one extra run so they want 250+ to chase

 

[PakPremi]

Forget Imam, kick Fakhar out for Shan.

This is what I said earlier Shan is a threat for Fakhar not Imam. oh well next match

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Babar is just so superior to the other lot

 

[big_gamer007]

I don't understand the hate against Imam, he looks pretty decent and is young.. He is working on his fitness and taking quick singles which will reduce the dot ball percentage drastically..

Give him some time he will be a decent opener for Pakistan.

 

[shah_1]

Yea Imam is limited but can't drop him right now as he is our best option. Drop Fahkar first

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Shan would play next match
