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

[PerfectionPersonified]

Safi was a loss

 

[Ahmed216]

Watchin Rizwan bat was painful

 

[Green Patriot]

What a snoozefest.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

9 runs off the last 5 overs.

Pathetic to have wasted such a good start.

Pakistanis mentality won't change unless they're up for improving their game themselves.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

This is the issue with us.Hype players on bench without realising why they were dropped in first place.Still laughing at some posters who want Shezad,Akmal back.Arthur is not a fool sitting there

i saw some one here just said take UA as the back up keeper lol...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ambati Malik

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Now I realise Sarfraz is the best wicket keeper batsman available in Pakistan. He thought Rizwan improved a lot and has become like Dinesh Kartik of India. I was wrong. Still no competitor for Sarfraz.

Safi the lone king by long shot

 

[saabir]

Can't believe there is no Hassan Ali in this side. He can make this side purely as a slogger . He will be missed badly by Pakistan in match. This game is going now where with Malik and Shadab blocking everything with straight bat

 

[ILcricket]

You need more fibres dude

perplexing .

 

[indianpanacea]

Pakistan middle order is weak and brittle

 

[PakPremi]

Where is [MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION]?

This is your desired replacement for Sarfraz?

Always said if Rizwan is Sarfraz replacement then we better off with out of form Sarfraz. Remove captaincy from his shoulders and he would return to his world class performances in tests and fairly decent performances in ODI. We need to try a new wicket keeper in T20s but not Rizwan

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is reminding me of when Misbah was our ODI captain.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lazy running and should have been 3 there.

 

[Asif321]

What is Malik doing ?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

And Shadab is not #7...at best #8

 

[Pete Rose]

i saw some one here just said take UA as the back up keeper lol...

I said that. Pakistan will need a backup keeper in their squad, it’s too long a tournament. If our expectation is wicketkeeper who can make 30 odd runs, no harm in taking umar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shadab has joined the "snail party" now lol

 

[ILcricket]

What is your objective assessment of this pitch ? Can 240 be defended ?

 

[indianpanacea]

I would love to see U akmal and asad Shafiq in ODI squad.. Umar akmal at 4 and Shafiq at 6..

 

[Shandarchowka]

Malik proving that once mediocre, always mediocre

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Malik's innings is just ugly to watch.

 

[Pete Rose]

What is Malik doing ?

Trying to bat till end for selfish and team reasons

 

[jnaveen1980]

I said that. Pakistan will need a backup keeper in their squad, it’s too long a tournament. If our expectation is wicketkeeper who can make 30 odd runs, no harm in taking umar

Umar Akmal?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Umar akmal should be included for ODI and T20.

 

[Asif321]

Malik can’t even hit short balls of Tahir

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sohaib Malik one word that comes to my mind Baggage. He should call it quits. We are asking Amla to call it quits. This guy is way below Amla's class.

 

[Green Patriot]

Commies talking about non-existent gameplans.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

People said Malik is good against spin. He looks pathetic today.

 

[Pete Rose]

Umar Akmal?

Yup. I don’t really think of him as a batsman, but a wicket keeper

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Malik as usual Avg

 

[Green Patriot]

Missing out fulltosses.

Saffers getting away with poor deliveries.

 

[rhony]

Half trackers and full tosses being wasted there...smash it for six

 

[latecut]

Dhoni and Rayudu pair bat far more fluently than Shoaib-Rizwan. In fact now we can appreciate their value even more.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yup. I don’t really think of him as a batsman, but a wicket keeper

They should seriously float the idea of having him in the squad. This is a pointless middle order.

 

[rhony]

There you go

 

[m.shah]

Can't hit short balls and full tosses now

 

[ARK Rafay]

Need quick partnership from these two and Malik to play till the end with Imad playing another cameo. Only then we'll reach 260

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Sohaib Malik one word that comes to my mind Baggage. He should call it quits. We are asking Amla to call it quits. This guy is way below Amla's class.

Dont use Amla and Malik un the same sentence. Check Amlas stats

 

[indianpanacea]

Fakhar
Imam
Babar
U. Akmal
Hafeez/Haris
Asad shafiq
Sarfaraz
Shahdab
Hassan
Shaheen
Junaid

 

[IMMY69]

Can we not start a petition to have Rambo removed from the commentary box???

I hate watching with the volume off

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dont use Amla and Malik un the same sentence. Check Amlas stats

I mean current form. After a long time he made a 100.

 

[Ahmed216]

The eternal problem of poor strike-rotation

 

[Pete Rose]

Shadab needs to settle down. There are still a lot of over s

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pretorious looks better than some of the NZ trundlers. Atleast he has more accuracy. He gets some bounce due to his height.

 

[Markhor]

Imad should've batted ahead of Shadab.

How has Shadab played some decent Test knocks yet is so poor as an ODI batsman ?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fakhar
Imam
Babar
U. Akmal
Hafeez/Haris
Asad shafiq
Sarfaraz
Shahdab
Hassan
Shaheen
Junaid

Asad Shafiq at no. 6? For real?

 

[m.shah]

Just can't understand why shadab is coming ahead of imad who is clearly a better batsman

 

[Hbomb00]

We certainly need Rana here

 

[Pakhs]

Now people talking about Umar Akmal he himself said many times he doesnt want to keep. He doesnt keep in domestic either.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imad should've batted ahead of Shadab.

How has Shadab played some decent Test knocks yet is so poor as an ODI batsman ?

He's an accumulator at best. Can't hit like Imad does

 

[indianpanacea]

If U akmal is to be kept out of team then better to have saud Shakeel debut

 

[Mueez]

We certainly need Rana here

Would’ve scored a duck here.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Imad should've batted ahead of Shadab.

How has Shadab played some decent Test knocks yet is so poor as an ODI batsman ?

he can play good through the cover when the filed is up

 

[Gullycricket]

We certainly need Rana here

For his quickfire 0(1) Lbw

 

[Pakhs]

Just can't understand why shadab is coming ahead of imad who is clearly a better batsman

Shadab has a better technique he can hang around longer lots of overs left here.

 

[Asif321]

Malik yaar sab ko Sula degha
This looks such misbah days

 

[Amjid Javed]

63 runs in last 17 overs, really is pathetic batting!

 

[Titan24]

If Malik, Shadab and Imad can finish the innings we will have a chance to defend

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now people talking about Umar Akmal he himself said many times he doesnt want to keep. He doesnt keep in domestic either.

That is the only way he can get in just like Dravid had to do in 2003 world cup .

 

[IMMY69]

Tahir getting away with some rank bad bowling..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Playing just enough to keep your place safe

 

[Titan24]

63 runs in last 17 overs, really is pathetic batting!

Cant do much before 45 overs when half of the batting is gone

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Can we not start a petition to have Rambo removed from the commentary box???

I hate watching with the volume off

i will go to public places and pay people to sign .

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Malik and Shadab have 220 in mind. We lose another wicket now and even 200 will be difficult.

 

[jnaveen1980]

poor Ramiz lol

 

[shariqnoor]

Shadab just doesn't have the ability to rotate the strike. Test matches suit him perfectly because there is no pressure of balls remaining and the field generally has more gaps available. He royally struggles in ODIs.

 

[Hbomb00]

Would’ve scored a duck here.

I think Duck is better than 10 off 30

 

[Plumb]

Wow fresh look of team but worse scorecard lol if same innings played by Sarfaraz as Malik by now he would have been called many names...not able to play 120kph balls awesome

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tahir bowled so many trashy deliveries in between odd good ones. He got away.

 

[m.shah]

Shadab has a better technique he can hang around longer lots of overs left here.

What is the use of that technique when you can't even rotate

 

[Pete Rose]

50 for Malik 220 for Pakistan

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Goodness me, can't even put a pathetic short ball away for 4. Weak shot.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shadab just doesn't have the ability to rotate the strike. Test matches suit him perfectly because there is no pressure of balls remaining and the field generally has more gaps available. He royally struggles in ODIs.

He can get you a 50 off 75 not 50 off 30

 

[Pakhs]

I think Duck is better than 10 off 30

Not in this situation. Too many over to go take 10 than 0

 

[Chokli]

we defended about 212 with bilawal bhatti and anwar ali

so they should aim for 230-240

 

[shariqnoor]

230 is the best we can get if Malik stays in. Can't see the score being more than that.

 

[Green Patriot]

That should have been runout.

 

[Hbomb00]

Yaar phol bhai jaane do na

 

[Fineline]

Whoever is the captain,Pakistan's batting will never improve!

 

[ManFan]

Malik is done. Flat out.
