South Africa vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Johannesburg | Jan 27, 2019 | South Africa innings Thread

[Pete Rose]

Chalo, I guess I must say well bowleed *drags feet*

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Credit goes to Shaheen and Amir for not allowing them to score. Attacking Usman was the last option for Ven.

 

[ads101]

Everything Malik's touching is turning to gold lol. Brought back Shinwari when he probably could have delayed/played a part timer and Shinwari's given him the wicket.

 

[Stalin]

May god bless you that

No thanks.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Steyn in to smash a few 6s

 

[Chokli]

maybe malik will perform with the bat as captain? he always lead from the front when he was captain from 2007 to 2009

 

[Pete Rose]

If Pakistan can dismiss South Africa well within 50 overs, it will really help with the DL

 

[imshally81]

Get them out under 200

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Are our bowlers bowling better or is it Maliks captaincy?

 

[babajee]

Interested to see where he bats himself today.

 

[mak36]

Pakistan bowling well and now commies saying there is more to this pitch than we first thought .

 

[shah_1]

Wohòooooo yess wicket

 

[Pete Rose]

The bowling machine should be set to bowl short now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

That's Phast Thunderbolts from UKS!!!

 

[Ummii]

steyn in to smash a few 6s

ok

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Something]

South Africa crumbling!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Either Pakistan are playing well without the "shouting captain" or its just one of the days when everything clicks for Pakistan.

I think its the former.

 

[babajee]

Wow UKS

 

[Chokli]

mark nicholas is an underrated commentator, hope he is there for the world cup

 

[ARK Rafay]

Are our bowlers bowling better or is it Maliks captaincy?

It's because Saifu isn't playing

 

[Mamoon]

Expecting a thread on why Malik should be made captain till the World Cup.

 

[iPakistani]

Shinwari bowled steyn come on boysss

 

[asadee]

Meanwhile Djoko wins!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Thunderbolt frm shinwari

 

[Titan24]

Just looked at the scorecard and was surprised that Sarfaraz looked to have turn it around with his captaincy, turns out after all its Malik leading today.

38th over, there is slip and bowlers are bowling aggressively

Hopefully Srafraz fans till now and PCB can understand the potential of this team under a better leader.

 

[Pete Rose]

Uff.. I am torn

 

[Stalin]

UKS shutting up his haters.

 

[mak36]

Why did Steyn bat ahead of Rabada?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Not looking good for Pink Day...

 

[Mueez]

Wow.

Usman proving me wrong.

 

[Green Patriot]

I hope we dont go berserk in the chase.

Mood kharab hojaiga.

 

[Chokli]

Either Pakistan are playing well without the "shouting captain" or its just one of the days when everything clicks for Pakistan.

I think its the former.

it's like when your old disgruntled rude boss finally gets a new job and one of the calmer senior co workers gets promoted who always had a good rapport with you

 

[Pete Rose]

Get em all out in the nex few overs.

 

[saeed5646]

Usman have just saved his spot for aus odi series .good bowling

 

[Mamoon]

Either Pakistan are playing well without the "shouting captain" or its just one of the days when everything clicks for Pakistan.

I think its the former.

It is the latter. This is a poor team regardless of who captains.

 

[IAJ]

What a turnaround, shinwari hav some back amazingy, Allah ka shukr hai.

 

[xricket]

Excellent performance, thanks to great captaincy!

 

[iPakistani]

SA 156-7 against a “mediocre” team, Pakistan havent bowled well, SA batted poorly. Incoming from mr negative.

 

[ILcricket]

under 190 should be fairly easy to chase .

 

[imshally81]

ttt

Lol, you do know Pakistan won the first game and scored 300+ in the previous one?

 

[ARK Rafay]

UKS Aag!!

 

[babajee]

It is the latter. This is a poor team regardless of who captains.

Obviously. We can never perform due to skill it's just fluke after fluke.

 

[Mamoon]

Cheap, but place saving wickets by Shinwari.

 

[IAJ]

Shinwari on a hat-trick now

 

[Titan24]

Are our bowlers bowling better or is it Maliks captaincy?

I have said number of times that captain in cricket plays a much bigger role than in any other sport.

 

[Something]

woah Shinwaarrri!!

 

[Mueez]

***??

 

[babajee]

Uff Usman

 

[Ummii]

Shinwari isn't really that bad,

 

[xricket]

It is the latter. This is a poor team regardless of who captains.

Saifi has poor sense of game. He shouts and demoralizes his bowler, instead of giving them any advice.

 

[NauV]

I said it before too . . Pakistan has really surprised me in this series thus far!! We had a batting collapse in the 2nd ODI . . yet, we still had a very real chance to win that game . . who knows would have happened if Phehlukwayo hadn't reviewed that LBW . . or not had the luck that he had that day . . not always you get a 100+ partnership for the 6th wicket . .
The last game . . the rain definitely hampered our chances greatly . . 320 is never a bad score! Not saying we would have won . . but saying, we would have been very competitive at the very least
And this game, we're going okay, aren't we?

Get selection and decision making right . . this team has potential!

I wasn't expecting such a performance . . pleasantly surprised!

 

[Asif321]

Wah shinwari

 

[Pete Rose]

Hahahahaha

 

[iPakistani]

3 in the over for Shinwari oh my goodness. Pakistan on fire

 

[babajee]

Shinwari isn't really that bad,

Should never ever open the bowling.

 

[Something]

What a come back by Shinwari!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shinwari isn't really that bad,

He is a little inconsistent at times

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

SA seeing out the better bowlers - before feasting on Shinwari and cast in the last 6 or 7. Target 240. Could be enough on this pitch.

Saying something about shinwari ) another one :

 

[IAJ]

Cheap, but place saving wickets by Shinwari.

Well the batsman was lucky several times.

 

[Chokli]

It is the latter. This is a poor team regardless of who captains.

nah poor teams don't perform on par with the hosts this frequently.

they've been competitive in every match, too bad rain ruined the last one.

 

[Mamoon]

Obviously. We can never perform due to skill it's just fluke after fluke.

Pakistan's W/L ratio against the top teams in the last 12 months does not lie.

 

[mak36]

Wanted to see how UKS bowled at the death against batsmen, not tail enders. Oh well.

 

[IAJ]

No.Dale played a dot.

Say again?

 

[iPakistani]

Obviously. We can never perform due to skill it's just fluke after fluke.

That fool will say SA batted poorly, but will never say we bowled well.

 

[Something]

One hell of a bowling performance from the team today.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The only downside to this entire performance is that Pakistan have a tendency to "muck up easy run chases".

Either they will storm to a win (likely) or they will nearly die trying to get 160 odd runs.

 

[Chokli]

Pakistan's W/L ratio against the top teams in the last 12 months does not lie.

they've done better in this series than they have in the past 12 months

 

[ARK Rafay]

Oh Man!!! How close

 

[imshally81]

No hat-trick for Shinwari

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Brilliant cokeback for Usman, glad hes taking wickets

 

[Chokli]

reminding me of the 3rd odi versus india where we failed to chase 165

 

[mak36]

Surely that was out? Only question is if there was an edge.

 

[IAJ]

Close, but going down

 

[Titan24]

Lol, you do know Pakistan won the first game and scored 300+ in the previous one?

I wanted Sarfraz to be the captain 3 years ago when Azhar was the captain but then seeing his captaincy in ODIs and tests, under cruicial moments I realized he isnt good enough.

I know you are his fan and I totally respect that but I believe in this match under Sarfaraz we might have got them 50/4 and then conceded 250.

 

[Mamoon]

nah poor teams don't perform on par with the hosts this frequently.

they've been competitive in every match, too bad rain ruined the last one.

South Africa is not very good at the moment. This team will lose 5-0 in India, England and New Zealand, and 4-1 in Australia.

 

[babajee]

Pakistan's W/L ratio against the top teams in the last 12 months does not lie.

Keep living in the past

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Hate it.

 

[Green Patriot]

Mean umpire.
