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

[The intelligent Supporter]

@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.

let me guess will lose 10-0 vs India?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

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.

Too much hatred

 

[Green Patriot]

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 a t20 hatrick i think.

 

[Chokli]

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

the 4th semi final spot is a toss up between

australia
pakistan
south africa

 

[Pete Rose]

Haha. Definitely, but better to pad them game time rather than garbage time.

Talk about stat padding

 

[MMHS]

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

That was a fix by PAK senior players to pull Malik down. In that series, 1st game PAK won by 8/9 wickets inside 40 overs, then the next 2 games were complete no show. PCB should have inquired the games. Even after that, against series decider in UAE (NZ), PAK batsmen threw a chase of 220 or so and Amir/Ajmal put almost 100 in last pair to make it really close.

 

[Chokli]

come on usman, get a 5fer

 

[xricket]

Two fielders on leg, for catching, indicating it could be short ball. Thats how you put psychological pressure

 

[Pete Rose]

No love for the labori boyyyy

 

[ARK Rafay]

the 4th semi final spot is a toss up between

australia
pakistan
south africa

Exactly

 

[Nado_]

Guys just seen the score , someone please tell me, is it the pitch? The bowling? Or case of bad shot selection?

 

[Mamoon]

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?

Yes, well bowled. An early contender for bowling spell of the year award.

 

[IAJ]

Game over. Well played Pakistan!

Haha, we are experienced fans and know our batteri quite well. Any score over 150 against us is competitive.

i'm certain it was.

but in that new zealand series, that was captained by younis khan

they didn't like younis khan either? lol

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik will like us to know he had a feeling that uks would clean up today

 

[Mansoor3120]

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

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.

Hahaha phir tik keh rhe hu bat tu sach kahi hai

 

[Titan24]

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

Agreed he has changed but he always had a pretty good head and was still that better tactician the Younus ,Yousuf and Afridi.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The only way South Africa can win this one is if Faf puts in 4 slips, 2 gullies and asks his bowlers to forget about containing and pitch the ball up.

Even then I'm putting 100 dollars on Pakistan and I suspect I will get a return of 120 dollars.

 

[Gullycricket]

Guys just seen the score , someone please tell me, is it the pitch? The bowling? Or case of bad shot selection?

Excellent Bowling by Shaheen initially.Then Imad,Shady choked them resulting in what u see

 

[MMHS]

i'm certain it was.

but in that new zealand series, that was captained by younis khan

they didn't like younis khan either? lol

Indeed - these were the same group under a certain just retired guy who took them to ICL despite knowing that it might end their PAK career, and now holding one of the most critical administrative spots. Otherwise, YK won't have been ousted within few months of winning an ICC event,

 

[IAJ]

Yes, well bowled. An early contender for bowling spell of the year award.

Understand your sarcasm, but 4 wickets in an over (if he got the last wicket) could actually take that award

 

[Hasan123]

Just stop the runs and a mistake will happen.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Agreed he has changed but he always had a pretty good head and was still that better tactician the Younus ,Yousuf and Afridi.

Most important thing Malik was cool and calm at the pitch.

Younis i think was a better tactician and more fearless.

Yousuf was the worst.

 

[Titan24]

In 2015 when Azhar was recalled and made captain, it could have been Malik or even Hafeez and we could have continued with them till WC

 

[DRsohail]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] this team has won 2 months ago against Aus. You are wrong this is very good team.

 

[Hasan123]

Ruthless performance.

 

[Pete Rose]

I am spoilt for wickets because of the last five overs.

 

[Green Patriot]

165 to win.

 

[Titan24]

Most important thing was Malik is cool and calm at the pitch.

Younis i think was a better tactician and more fearless.

Yousuf was the worst.

Younis was a mixture of bit of emotions and tactics but Malik never falls for the emotions

 

[Something]

164 all out



Shadab finishes it

 

[ads101]

Awesome stuff allround. My did Shinwari turn it around.

 

[Hasan123]

@mamonn this team has won 2 months ago against Aus. You are wrong this is very goid team.

Yes they are a good team. I don't understand why is he still making excuses for SA.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] this team has won 2 months ago against Aus. You are wrong this is very good team.

Australia is not the gold standard at the moment.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Secret of a good match is to let Amla bat on.

 

[Green Patriot]

Well bowled Pak.

Now for the batting.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imam to get another 50

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

:0ut: all over for 165 on pink day!

 

[iPakistani]

Shadab with the final wicket! 164 all out on pink day, what a terrific performance in the field by Pakistan. Bowling, Fielding and captaincy has all been excellent. World-class performance.

 

[Mamoon]

Malik captaincy campaign will be all over PP like a rash now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

In 2015 when Azhar was recalled and made captain, it could have been Malik or even Hafeez and we could have continued with them till WC

Malik and Hafeez have been underused and I feel like they under performed in all aspects :/

 

[Titan24]

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

Yes and I think if that change wouldnt have made we might have a different history for the last decade.

 

[Pete Rose]

How I would love a Fakhar Zaman cameo today

 

[Sirris]

Outstanding performance! Revenge of 203 all out. Now chase this without and dramas plz

 

[Green Patriot]

If they lose this i will lose it.

 

[Titan24]

Malik captaincy campaign will be all over PP like a rash now.

He has captained exceptionally well and it cant be denied.

 

[IAJ]

One of the best captaincy I have seen from Pakistan

 

[MMHS]

165 - should be easy. Brilliant bowling performance and catching as well. All 10 wickets to bowlers and some good catching, excellent keeping by Rizwan and exemplary Captaincy by Malik. Series is going to last game.

 

[Mueez]

Wow.

Just wow.

Pakistan on their day can demolish every team if they want!

 

[Titan24]

Malik and Hafeez have been underused and I feel like they under performed in all aspects :/

Totally.

 

[Mamoon]

Classic Rameez. Assuming Shinwari can converse in English. A quick word before the interview would have helped him avoid the awkwardness.

 

[PakPremi]

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.

They are playing home not away. Makes a lot of difference. When Pak were beating Aus and New Z (rain saving them) We were told they are also poor but no word when India beating them.

 

[MMHS]

One of the best captaincy I have seen from Pakistan

Me too, since probably last millennium.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shinwari confirming that it was a two paced pitch.

 

[ARK Rafay]

How I would love a Fakhar Zaman cameo today

I was thinking another 200 from him had South Africa scored 350+. None the less. Pakistan should look to chase this in ~30 overs

 

[Titan24]

This is the team and the attitude I want to watch irrespective of the results

 

[Nado_]

Excellent Bowling by Shaheen initially.Then Imad,Shady choked them resulting in what u see

Nicee

 

[DRsohail]

Australia is not the gold standard at the moment.

But you said Aus will win 4-1 against them.

 

[DRsohail]

Me too, since probably last millennium.

please summaraise this , i did not watch much what was best and bad about malik?

 

[Titan24]

Commies saying wicket keeping and captaincy was good

 

[Mamoon]

But you said Aus will win 4-1 against them.

I was talking about Pakistan not South Africa.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

On another note, Shaheen was brilliant with the new ball picking up 2 wickets.

Shinwari brilliant with the old ball cleaning up the tail.

What is Amir's excuse for still not picking up enough wickets? Or perhaps picking up 1 wicket is enough for the expert container.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Brilliant bowling performance and brilliant captaincy by Malik. Looked in total control.

 

[Sirris]

If they lose this i will lose it.

If they lose this I'd be laughing so hard. Cause that would be just classic team Pakistan.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The fact that "Sarfraz" was not playing already ensured that Pakistan were playing with one batsmen extra and were no longer under pressure of listening to "continuous criticism" about where to bowl.

Malik basically had to just show up.

Heck even Hafeez would have done the same thing.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Malik captaincy campaign will be all over PP like a rash now.

If nothing else, it does put Sarfraz's captaincy in perspective.

 

[Theo_14]

Even if Pakistan lose this series they have shown to be much more competitive then previous years.

This shows in some areas we have improved but we still have passengers in the side - a rebuilding process needs to be considered seriously post World cup.

Nevertheless top bowling performance today, led by a fine respected cricketer in Malik.

 

[Stalin]

They are playing home not away. Makes a lot of difference. When Pak were beating Aus and New Z (rain saving them) We were told they are also poor but no word when India beating them.

Pak were beating them in UAE and that too in t20s . India are beating them at their home in odis. Hell of a difference.

Yes, I remember when Shadab was operating. He instead of encouraging him to do what he wants to pick wickets, continuously told him to where to land the ball. While bowling with new ball, a bowler often goes for boundaries, but saifi asked his bowlers to not leak runs, and due to that bowlers started pitching it back of length.

This does save runs, but wickets aren't picked up by bowlers that way when you are looking to save runs. So, this hurts a lot

 

[QuickCrick]

Sorry I don’t rate UKS at all, leaks runs for fun. He did look much better from around the wicket and a decent return after an awful start. Still needs more performances against better batsmen to convince me.

Any news on RR, career over? He looked a better option..

 

[Stalin]

Alright. Chase to end within 30 overs. Fakhar to score a flashy fifty , then get out to Tahir. And imam and Babar to take Pak to the win in a canter.
You've heard it here first.

 

[PakPremi]

Secret of a good match is to let Amla bat on.

Amla is the reason they get some runs

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Somewhat ironic!

Kinda like OGS - it’s not quite that easy

His performance was similar to Wahab's 5 for against India in World Cup.
