South Africa vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Cape Town | Jan 30, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

[Pete Rose]

Worth noting that Malik has been rubbish against spin as well, under pressure

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan falls over when defending

 

[Pakhs]

Important innings for Rizwan, 2 of 12 is not the best start but needs to stay in it will get easier.

 

[Gullycricket]

Will we able to double the score we have at 30 over mark?

 

[babajee]

Shadab and Imad are gonna have to step up today.

 

[Gullycricket]

Temporary captain has a big role here to stay till the end

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

It's the T20 generation and Afridi fans who are clueless.One match Imam got out and look at us.

Correct, we have abundance of wrist slitters

 

[shah_1]

There must be a reason he was scoring so many runs for A team and U23

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has their own middle order problem like India. Inability to accelerate against all kind of bowling.

 

[aukhan]

If he is under pressure because of that he deserves to fail

Not easy if you are making comeback and you get bashed on national sports channel by rashid latif and co.

Karachi press and ex cricketers are too biased.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think malik is dragging his career , should have retired at the start of 2018.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Malik reminds me of some of the old guys who doesn't want to retire yet scoring just enough to keep their place safe.

 

[JibranAnsari]

So many dots.

 

[Mueez]

Highest run chase successfully chased here is 258.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was close

 

[angrypathan]

There must be a reason he was scoring so many runs for A team and U23

It certainly must not have involved playing leg spin

 

[shah_1]

Missing

Rizwan's struggle against leg spin continues

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan's batting is too top heavy. We've lost our traditional middle order strength.

We used to have Javed and Zaheer in the 80s, Inzamam and Yousuf in the 00s. Now we have Hafeez, Malik and Rizwan.

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan still weak against spin

 

[m.shah]

Review

 

[jnaveen1980]

it will atleast be umpire's call.

 

[Pete Rose]

How do you get to international game be so inept against on form of bowling, so young in your career

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Highest run chase successfully chased here is 258.

That was almost two decades ago

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not surprising when you see from the side. It was in line with stumps. But they didn't factor in how forward he was.

 

[Pete Rose]

Not easy if you are making comeback and you get bashed on national sports channel by rashid latif and co.

Karachi press and ex cricketers are too biased.

No one said it’s easy, but that’s where you need to show character

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL , sarfraz will be back.

 

[m.shah]

Rizwan looks like hasn't improved his batting

 

[Pakhs]

Going is slow but they need to put some runs on the board here

 

[xricket]

Told this here, but i suppose it doesn't take a genius. Fakhar got out to short

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan is struggling

Sarfraz is safe for now haha

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan is falling over not a good technique there

 

[Boi]

Rizwan losing balance in almost every stroke he’s playing

 

[PakPremi]

People crying again lol

 

[Markhor]

Rubbish innings from Rizwan.

Sarfraz can stay but he must lose the captaincy and produce his pre-2017 ODI form.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Please come out of your caves who think Rizwan is Safiz replacement. The guy has no clue

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sarfraz is never going to lose his place to this guy. wow.. is he the second best keeper for Pakistan?

 

[Pete Rose]

This is pretty much what I recall of Rizwan’s batting: missing deliveries speared on leg stump and falling over in the process

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan only has 4 batsmen.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Somehow, even at snail pace we need 260 minimum.

 

[angrypathan]

Come on Rizwan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Now rizwan is killing the match. Should get out.

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan just a rubbish batsman...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why did he come ahead of Imad or Shadab?

 

[ILcricket]

260+ should be a winning total .

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan only has 4 batsmen.

Three

 

[iPakistani]

Rizwan doing a Dhoni here

 

[castortroy]

Collapse incoming

 

[Pakhs]

Rizwan never had a good technique there is a reason why Sarfraz is all format player for Pakistan.

 

[Tabishbeigh]

So we have a pure specialist keeper in squad , well that's a good news

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not like Malik is setting Newlands ablaze. Pairing this guy with Malik has brought Pakistan to a stall.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Rizwan still weak against spin

Watch when he plays fast ����torture to watch him bat

 

[Markhor]

Sarfraz has been mediocre but boy, if this is his replacement, then we must accept he's as good as it gets for wicketkeeper batsmen in Pakistan.

 

[xricket]

Rizwan will get out to Tahir. First told you here. Thats because he reads him off the pitch..

 

[mrtaim3]

Rizwan hasn't improved at all. Still clueless against spin. And still falling over on every delivery.

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik needs to get going against Tahir: he is not going to do anything against pace

 

[ask_analyse_act]

rizwan is still the old one who struggles against spin and totally unbalanced against pace... just his keeping cant keep Sarfraz out... i think sarfi would have gone to sleep already knowing that he is safe...

 

[Hbomb00]

PAK wont score 260 mark my words

 

[angrypathan]

I fail to understand how someone as good as Rizwan is with the gloves fails to pick a spinner out of the hand

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kamran is worse than this guy? I know he is a poor keeper.

 

[shariqnoor]

This is why Sarfraz survives in this team. He literally has no backup. Rizwan looking like a rubbish batsman.

 

[Theo_14]

Thought like Shan, he would make a impact considering his Pak A performances v Aus.

 

[Pete Rose]

Not like Malik is setting Newlands ablaze. Pairing this guy with Malik has brought Pakistan to a stall.

Malik will either be dismissed by imran in the next few overs or somewhere down the line to one of the pacers for 30 of 50 type innings

 

[xricket]

And that's why guys, we could have done well with Shaan Masood, an extra batsman in place of Imad or Hafeez. IMO in place of Imad

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Seriously is this garbage we taking to WC? KEEPER

 

[shah_1]

So sad Sarfraz Ahmed is our best option. All WKs in the domestic cricket apart from Rizwan are specialist keepers.

 

[Green Patriot]

Saifi doing bhangra at home

 

[ask_analyse_act]

260+ should be a winning total .

but u know ppl call this a 350+ wicket just looking at the new ball coming on to bat so nicely in the first 10 overs..

 

[Pete Rose]

Sarfraz has been mediocre but boy, if this is his replacement, then we must accept he's as good as it gets for wicketkeeper batsmen in Pakistan.

Maybe they should take Umar Akmal has back up keeper

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Kamran is worse than this guy? I know he is a poor keeper.

After moin khan we didnt get any good wicketkeeper so far.

 

[Green Patriot]

Malik and Rizwan putting too much pressure.

Get them out someone.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hoping against hope that Rizwan trolls everyone on PP today

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

this is one heck of a torture in final

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rizwan is going 2 mess it up

 

[Asif321]

Out of touch Sarfraz still better than in form rizzu I guess

 

[m.shah]

Rizwan 8 from 24

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they know about his batting why did the not send Shadab ahead?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Safi is safe.

 

[Asif321]

Malik got nature’s call

 

[Pete Rose]

Hoping against hope that Rizwan trolls everyone on PP today

No. We will be dismissed under 50 overs. They need to continue at 3 an over for the next 7 to 8 overs

 

[ask_analyse_act]

3 out of 4 wickets gone for short bowling... how come they managed to win 2 games is a question now.. Did SA deliberately lose to make it all 5 matches be a sell out..
