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

[Mamoon]

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

Because this team is not as good as the ones they have faced in the last 12 months.

 

[babajee]

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

Would not have been a pretty sight.

 

[Mamoon]

Keep living in the past

It is the present and it will be the future.

 

[Titan24]

Commies are praising malik for using his bowlers

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Amir has suddenly gone up to 136k.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ultra Edge showing random spikes lol

 

[Something]

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

Going down leg

 

[Pete Rose]

Mark Nicholas looking for a bill lawry moment

 

[Dr_Bassim]

There are still 12 overs to go.

If South African can somehow get to 200, it could be an interesting chase especially with rain in the air which gives bowlers something.

 

[Ellipsism]

I still don’t think Shinwari is anything more than a decent pick backup option. He hasn’t looked threatening at all against decent batsman from top opposition.

 

[Chokli]

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.

i agree, pakistan have done well to challenge a team slightly better than them though

 

[ARK Rafay]

UKS robbed of his Hat trick

 

[Green Patriot]

Shinwari's face made me raise my finger.

 

[Mamoon]

Hard lucky for Shinwari, reminds of me of Kaneria against England in 2005.

Anyway, an ODI hat-trick means nothing these days. Even Faheem has one.

 

[Titan24]

It is the present and it will be the future.

How do you see the difference in attitude with change in Captaincy?

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Lol Usman denied a hatrick there.

 

[ILcricket]

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

unnecessary .

 

[Ummii]

Should never ever open the bowling.

Remember that Lanka spell in UAE?

 

[iPakistani]

Because this team is not as good as the ones they have faced in the last 12 months.

How?, 1-1 against NZ which should have been 2-1 but the rain stopped it. And now we’re about to be 2-2 against SA in SA but you wouldn’t see that, maybe take your blue tinted glasses off.

 

[Chokli]

poor umpiring

 

[Mansoor3120]

Yes he was all over him in that over and got him with a ripper.

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.

But they won 2-1 in Australia 2 months ago

 

[mak36]

Going down leg

Nope, as I said three reds but there was a slight edge.

 

[Hasan123]

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.

That's good of you. However some people ego won't allow them to admit that Sarfraz isn't the man for Pakistan.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hard lucky for Shinwari, reminds of me of Kaneria against England in 2005.

Anyway, an ODI hat-trick means nothing these days. Even Faheem has one.

Faheem has in T20

 

[Azzurri]

Hard lucky for Shinwari, reminds of me of Kaneria against England in 2005.

Anyway, an ODI hat-trick means nothing these days. Even Faheem has one.

Nope He doesn't. ODI and T20 are different

 

[Pete Rose]

Lol Usman denied a hatrick there.

He’s had two howlers today

 

[IAJ]

Hard lucky for Shinwari, reminds of me of Kaneria against England in 2005.

Against SA? What are you smoking?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

How do you see the difference in attitude with change in Captaincy?

One game cannot be counted as difference even though "I would like to believe its because of the shouting captain sitting out".

If it happens for 4 consecutive games, there could be a pattern to follow.

 

[Something]

Hard lucky for Shinwari, reminds of me of Kaneria against England in 2005.

Why are you so negative? You only come on here to post negative comments and look cool? Is that really what you strive to achieve? To be considered popular and cool on an online forum.

Enjoy the moment. The team are doing well. Stop being a grinch

 

[Mamoon]

Against SA? What are you smoking?

South African tail-enders.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Saying something about shinwari ) another one :

Haha got me on that one.

 

[Hasan123]

Loving the passion from the boys.

Please don't make Sarfraz captain for the WC. The team has had enough of him. Never mind the fans.

 

[Smudger]

This sa team won in australia 2-1

 

[Pakpak]

But they won 2-1 in Australia 2 months ago

 

[imshally81]

ttttttt
9 down

 

[ARK Rafay]

UKS has strong prayer than black brother

 

[mak36]

Lol Shadab still has two.

 

[Mamoon]

Nope He doesn't. ODI and T20 are different

Sorry I didn't know. I thought ODI and T20 are two names for the same format.

 

[MMHS]

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

I think, the initial topic was regarding the bowling performance today - either change of Captaincy or one such days where everything clicks. Still, PAK might goof-up the chase of 170, but nothing to do with the 2-10 run and Captaincy here.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan have to dismiss them quickly. They will get halwa DL targets if they do.

 

[Hasan123]

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.

South Africa beat Australia 2-1 in a recent LO series lol.

 

[Something]

 

[babajee]

If UKS gets 5 )

 

[xricket]

Even Holding praising shoaib malik

 

[Chokli]

this is why you need to use your reviews properly.

you need to use them when you know for a fact the umpire is wrong

 

[Hasan123]

Shinwari done a good job here.

 

[Something]

Shinwari has completely destroyed the bottom order of this South Africa team

 

[Mamoon]

But they won 2-1 in Australia 2 months ago

Australia is not very good either. When two not very good teams meet, one team has to win.

 

[Azzurri]

Sorry I didn't know. I thought ODI and T20 are two names for the same format.

I suspected that.

 

[Titan24]

Dhoni and Malik became captain in 2007, but internal politics and PCB finished the reign of Malik pretty fast

 

[mak36]

He’s had two howlers today

There was an edge. Good decision.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Say what you can about Malik's position in the team but there is a night and day difference in team attitude today.

 

[Pete Rose]

This is pretty much what I think of andiles batting.

 

[ARK Rafay]

If UKS gets 5 )

Who would've thought after the 1st spell he bowled

 

[Boi]

Shinwari doesn’t really deserve a 5fer lol oh well

 

[iPakistani]

Shinwari with another one.

Pakistan one of the deadliest limited overs team on their day.

 

[xricket]

Important thing is Malik kept the slip in. Saifi would have just continued without.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

South Africa beat Australia 2-1 in a recent LO series lol.

Australia if possible is a worse team than South Africa.

However, I don't buy the flukey theory all the time.

You play well, you win.

Pakistan will win because they played well, not because it was a fluke.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shinwari now will be undroppable

Amazing spell.

 

[xricket]

Shinwari with another one.

Pakistan one of the deadliest limited overs team on their day.

with the right captain and tactics, of course

 

[arehaan]

such a refreshing change in captaincy. Slip in place for the main bat when chips are down not just looking to get the tailender by giving easy single. Well Done Malik

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Malik played a gamble. Intention was not bowling 50 overs.

 

[Pete Rose]

Australia is not very good either. When two not very good teams meet, one team has to win.

So we are looking good for the final four then. Saffers not good, Australia not good.

 

[iPakistani]

Australia is not very good either. When two not very good teams meet, one team has to win.

But you said Australia would win 4-1, so now why are you going back off your point? Ran out of negative things to say?

 

[IAJ]

South African tail-enders.

Well he has taken out the best batsman of the series and now he has got your darling as well.

And it doesn’t matter if there are tailenders or batsmen. How often do you see hattricks?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Great

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Game over. Well played Pakistan!

 

[MMHS]

Who would've thought after the 1st spell he bowled

He is always good with old ball - last (1st ODI) as well he was completely different bowler after 30 overs, but didn't get wicket.

 

[Chokli]

Dhoni and Malik became captain in 2007, but internal politics and PCB finished the reign of Malik pretty fast

yep that 75 all out 10 years ago did it all versus sri lanka

 

[Ellipsism]

Talk about stat padding

 

[mak36]

Dhoni and Malik became captain in 2007, but internal politics and PCB finished the reign of Malik pretty fast

Malik has also changed tbf. Back then he was involved in dirty politics and team divisions e.t.c.

 

[Mamoon]

@Everyone

I meant that Pakistan will lose 5-0 in England, New Zealand and 4-1 in Australia.

I was not talking about South Africa.

 

[Titan24]

Malik even got a wicket from Amir today. Don’t remember after how many games is this happening. He used it as a 1st change bowler which was a smart move considering his form

 

[Hasan123]

Australia if possible is a worse team than South Africa.

However, I don't buy the flukey theory all the time.

You play well, you win.

Pakistan will win because they played well, not because it was a fluke.

Australia have a world class bowling attack. And batter like Finch,Maxwell ,and Lynn.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Usman i guess has already few 5-fers.

Jab wickets leta hai to chappar phaar kay lol.

 

[Mamoon]

But you said Australia would win 4-1, so now why are you going back off your point? Ran out of negative things to say?

Oh bhai, I said South Africa is not a very good team at the moment and Pakistan's performance here does not mean much. "Pakistan" will lose 5-0 in England, New Zealand and 4-1 in Australia.

 

[ARK Rafay]

IMO
For World Cup. England and India are in the top tier followed by New Zealand. And Australia, Pakistan and South Africa are on same page below New Zealand

 

[Mueez]

Shinwari...

 

[Gullycricket]

Wow this is some bowling.Expect Imam to score another 50 today

 

[Chokli]

Oh bhai, I said South Africa is not a very good team at the moment and Pakistan's performance here does not mean much. "Pakistan" will lose 5-0 in England, New Zealand and 4-1 in Australia.

haha mamoon on the back foot
