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

[Faisalabadimunda]

Amir on. Time for a run fest

 

[Gullycricket]

Wow Aaaaag

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Hafeez or even Shoaib should give it a go. Taking spin off doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Sun is gone? How is the forecast?

Not good. Chances of rain increases

 

[Hasan123]

Amir strikes.

 

[Chokli]

this is poor by south africa

van dussen was doing great at number 3

 

[iPakistani]

Amir gets Miller come on AMIRRR!!

 

[Something]

Another one bites the dust!!! Amir finally gets a wicket!

 

[mak36]

Quick, someone check if the sky has fallen in. It seems Amir has taken a wicket

 

[Pete Rose]

Like I said, never really rated miller

 

[MRSN]

First thing Malik has ensured today is that spinners concede runs at one side of the wicket - he has packed one side and forced SAF batsman either go against spin or operate at singles, which has choked RR in middle overs. Now, need to finish the innings with wickets, rather than containing - SAF is 2 wickets away from a collapse and there are 19 overs to go. Imad finished inside 31 overs for excellent return.

Malik has proved how a good captain is vital in cricket.

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir with a wicket finally.

 

[Chokli]

Not good. Chances of rain increases

rain starts around 5pm

 

[Pete Rose]

Bowling changes working like gold.

 

[imshally81]

Review lost too

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Good captaincy by malik

 

[Hasan123]

Amir has a wicket after 6 games....

More great captaincy.


But if I speak I'm in big trouble with bakhts

 

[pakistani pride]

Not good. Chances of rain increases

Rain gonna screw us again. So unlucky the whole series!

 

[mak36]

And he was surplus to requirements in the Champions Trophy. Apart from the cocky review against Yuvraj, the highlight of his Champions Trophy was getting deposited to the upper stands by Pandya.

Still haven't got over it?

 

[Gullycricket]

Andie here

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I really thought Malik should have continued with spin - but he seems to know a bit more cricket than I do.

 

[iPakistani]

Mohammad Amir picks up the big wicket!

 

[Mamoon]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

 

[Chokli]

Amir has a wicket after 6 games....

More great captaincy.


But if I speak I'm in big trouble with bakhts

having a supportive captain does wonders to the confidence of others

 

[ARK Rafay]

That was plumb not sure why Miller reviewed while original decision was out

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Credit should be given to Malik for his captaincy. We are wasting our talent udner the captaincy of Sir Faraz.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Amir with the wicket

 

[ILcricket]

hosts will have to play well to reach 240 from here .

 

[iPakistani]

Mickey Arthur looking much happier

 

[Mueez]

Amirr gets Miller

 

[shah_1]

Huge wicket

 

[Nikhil_cric]

with him being stand in captain i doubt they'll bench him.

in an ideal world

masood comes in at 4 and hafeez drops to 5

In an ideal world, you should bat Shan,imam and Babar as your top 3.

 

[a_tahir]

Mark nicholas: amir hasn't taken a wicket in 6 matches.

WICKET NEXT BALL

 

[NauV]

The weather doesn't look very good all of a sudden . . rain incoming?

 

[Stalin]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

No wrist work at all.

 

[Hasan123]

Let's try to dismiss South Africa before 50th over.

 

[Pete Rose]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

Pakistan is his bogey team.

 

[Chokli]

In an ideal world, you should bat Shan,imam and Babar as your top 3.

nah you need to give confidence to fakhar not destroy it.

 

[Gullycricket]

Amir reminded me of Rohit dismissal in CT

 

[MMHS]

Malik is too shrewd to give Hafeez some limelight. He knows Hafeez has a strong chance of going to WC and he maybe . doesn't.

I think, Malik is 100% sure for WC and they made him Captain when probably everyone was expecting Hafeez to get the nod. Don't think Malik needs to play tricks here, and he is not looking beyond WC much either.

 

[Smudger]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

He should be batting at no 5

 

[Hasan123]

Amir seems more pumped up.

 

[Pete Rose]

Mark nicholas: amir hasn't taken a wicket in 6 matches.

WICKET NEXT BALL

Mike Haysman

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Is that a QR code on SA jersey?

 

[Mamoon]

No wrist work at all.

I am looking for something deeper.

 

[shah_1]

Close

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Ooh! That was some ball.

 

[Chokli]

I think, Malik is 100% sure for WC and they made him Captain when probably everyone was expecting Hafeez to get the nod. Don't think Malik needs to play tricks here, and he is not looking beyond WC much either.

he's already announced he'll be retiring after the world cup

 

[world cup captain]

It seems literally everyone is the team including the coach is against Sarfraz. PCB and Sarfraz should read the writing on the wall and do what's best for the team .

 

[ARK Rafay]

Phehlo has 1 fifty in 38 games. He's genuine AR according to Nitini

 

[AAli98]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

Its called chokers syndrome.. serial choker in icc events.. should always rate a player in icc events & not in meaningless bilaterals. Otherwise Amla would have been the greatest batsman of them all.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

nah you need to give confidence to fakhar not destroy it.

Fakhar is limited against pace and can't play the short ball. Shan is your best bet.

 

[Pete Rose]

One more wicket and South Africa will fade away here.

 

[Hasan123]

I think, Malik is 100% sure for WC and they made him Captain when probably everyone was expecting Hafeez to get the nod. Don't think Malik needs to play tricks here, and he is not looking beyond WC much either.

We won't the WC under Malik probably or even beat top teams . But I'm sure we will compete better under him compared to Sarfraz.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Is that a QR code on SA jersey?

Yes. Not sure for what

 

[Pete Rose]

Must say Pakistan has really trolled the fans on pink day. Not big hits at all.

 

[Gullycricket]

Yes. Not sure for what

[IAJ]

Miller is good. Very good in fact, but there is something missing in his game that I cannot pinpoint.

Probably those short boundries in a certain T20 league

 

[Chokli]

Fakhar is limited against pace and can't play the short ball. Shan is your best bet.

fakhar limited won us the champions trophy against india, should be backed.

rohit was backed and now you're reaping the fruits.

he was pathetic at first.

 

[Stalin]

I am looking for something deeper.

The Pacific.

 

[Gullycricket]

Lucky this andie

 

[Pete Rose]

Ooh! That was some ball.

Nahin yaar. It was good, but not GOOOOOD

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Must say Pakistan has really trolled the fans on pink day. Not big hits at all.

Pitch is gripping and somewhat 2 paced. Not easy to hit through the line. Not the belter that all of us expected.

 

[Chokli]

We won't the WC under Malik probably or even beat top teams . But I'm sure we will compete better under him compared to Sarfraz.

pakistan is a different animal in tournaments, they are one off games against different sides.

 

[QuickCrick]

The spell by Shadab and Imad shows what could have been in the last game had it not been affected by rain

 

[MMHS]

We won't the WC under Malik probably or even beat top teams . But I'm sure we will compete better under him compared to Sarfraz.

It doesn't need to change the fortune of a team - this WC is quite open. Sarfraz is down, so would leave the guy today, but he was costing in triple fold - even his hardcore Bhakts would agree that Rizwan has kept much better today so far.

 

[shariqnoor]

This is like Mourinho being replaced by Solksjaer. The spirit has changed instantly.

 

[ARK Rafay]

The Pacific.

Mariana Trench

 

[shah_1]

Poor ball

 

[Mamoon]

Dussen is tough as nails. South Africa should persist with him in all formats.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

pakistan is a different animal in tournaments, they are one off games against different sides.

Asia Cup 2018 was not a tournament ?

 

[Gullycricket]

Really this Andie has some prayers with him

 

[Chokli]

The spell by Shadab and Imad shows what could have been in the last game had it not been affected by rain

but nooo! it was all imams fault for not scoring 150 off 50 balls

 

[Something]

The spell by Shadab and Imad shows what could have been in the last game had it not been affected by rain

Agreed

 

[Green Patriot]

Tail after this.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

fakhar limited won us the champions trophy against india, should be backed.

rohit was backed and now you're reaping the fruits.

he was pathetic at first.

Rohit is phenomenal against the short ball unlike Fakhar who has been worked out.

 

[Hasan123]

Graeme Smith praising Malik captaincy. But bakhts will say Sarfraz knows more than this expert.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pitch is gripping and somewhat 2 paced. Not easy to hit through the line. Not the belter that all of us expected.

Not sure if it’s two paced, but definitely offers spin

 

[Stalin]

from andile fefffffkwwwwo

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Mothers prayer Savin phelo once again!
