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

[Omer2002]

Fakhar isnt going last long with his gulli danda style ...he was extremely lucky with all his edges last game

 

[shah_1]

Good bounce


44444

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really poorly played dimissal to a short ball.

Most of out batsmen seem to not be able to play short stuff well.

 

[Rana]

Very fast wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Our batsmen have the technique of Suresh Rains but like to go for the pull shout as if they are Ricky Ponting.

Actually Raina came to my mind when he went for the shot lol He was out of position yet went through with the shot.

 

[Varun]

Pakistan have two 50+ averaging batsmen in right now.

How often would you have been able to say that?

 

[xricket]

This pitch has the much dreaded 'bounce'

more like dreaded technique

 

[todfod 11]

Pakistan aint getting 150 with this batting line up.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Fakhar owes the team a big inns here, cant afford to lose another wicket in the PP.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two full tosses upfront. Both deserved sixes. This guy has no control with new ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan have two 50+ averaging batsmen in right now.

How often would you have been able to say that?

Lets not get carried away here, some of these are over inflated by cheap runs against minnows.

 

[Rana]

Hilarious running

 

[Asif321]

Malik should lead from front come at number 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are trying to make the bowling look longer by using Tahir upfront?

 

[shah_1]

Bowl Rabada and get the top order. You will win the match

Foolish captaincy by Faf

 

[Jabo]

Need a big score

Only possible if these 2 go on to bat all the way through

Zaman really needs a big one

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have two 50+ averaging batsmen in right now.

How often would you have been able to say that?

In the age of strike rates, Averages have little value

 

[shah_1]

444

 

[xricket]

Pakistan have two 50+ averaging batsmen in right now.

How often would you have been able to say that?

Yeah, and the one back in hut had more than that

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can see a brain fade for fakhar coming up soon

 

[babajee]

Babar looking great. Please make it count.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That could have been nasty if it had gone a little below

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowl Rabada and get the top order. You will win the match

Foolish captaincy by Faf

Foolish indeed

 

[Fahdi]

Top shot for 4 followed by a love lucky edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rubbish ball from Steyn. He is a greedy guy who bowls Test line and length

 

[castortroy]

I knew SA would spice up the wicket for the final game.

Faf mentioned it after the last game that pak batters were finding it easier in the one days as the pitch ars not as bouncy

 

[Rana]

There has to be a statistic or record of how many times a batsman has been hit on the head of his career.

I fear that one day it will catch up with Fakhar and he could get seriously hurt

 

[xricket]

Steyn looking to cut babar through with ball pitching in middle and going to hit off stump

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fakhar needs to score a 100 today. Ever since his CT17 final 100. He hasn't scored one against big side in a pressure game. And from what I've seen Fakhar is pressure performer and decider/final player.

 

[xricket]

Rubbish ball from Steyn. He is a greedy guy who bowls Test line and length

Lol, you obviously know better than steyn

 

[jnaveen1980]

Steyn is going to be thrashed around in the WC. They need Ngidi.

 

[Rana]

I knew SA would spice up the wicket for the final game.

Faf mentioned it after the last game that pak batters were finding it easier in the one days as the pitch ars not as bouncy

It works both ways. Easy to bat and score runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol, you obviously know better than steyn

Leg stump length ball?

 

[PakPremi]

Reading whining posts here makes me think posters here have not seen many cricket matches.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

looks bouncy but easy wicket tbh . Its not steep bounce

 

[castortroy]

Our bowlers are not as quick as the staffers

 

[xricket]

Leg stump length ball?

More like full ball, looking for out swing. He has done it before, just strayed a bit

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Pak should look to score 300PLUS

 

[xricket]

South africa overdone a bit. SHould have started with rabada

 

[Rana]

Fakhar needs a boundary early up to be in his elemen where he doesn't require to play rash shots one after the other

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Couldn't Hafeez just open so we can get that show on the road

 

[jnaveen1980]

The 4th and 5th bowler. Pak can easily score 130 off of them

 

[Markhor]

When was the last time we won decider in a bilateral series
Can't recall my self.

West Indies in 2017.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Fakhar is ugly to watch and an ugly shot now

 

[jnaveen1980]

More like full ball, looking for out swing. He has done it before, just strayed a bit

That is why i said greedy.

 

[xricket]

The 4th and 5th bowler. Pak can easily score 130 off of them

only with wickets in hand. That's why we need Shan up there

 

[jnaveen1980]

How short is this ground. In no time he gets to boundary.

 

[Rana]

Good shot Fakhar

 

[xricket]

That is why i said greedy.

Thats not greedy at all. That is the exact reason why he has been this successful, as he look for wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fakhar axe cutting. SO far surviving.

 

[Fahdi]

Rubbish ball from Steyn. He is a greedy guy who bowls Test line and length

Pretty sure that's what his captain would want from him. Look for wickets instead of trying to contain runs. He's been a bit too wayward but nothing wrong with the approach

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar and Fakhar both need to fire today

 

[xricket]

Fakhar will get out to a short ball. Mark my words

 

[shariqnoor]

Fakhar just doesn't have that tuck-off-the-hips shot in his arsenal. It's either a hackish pull shot or a straight dead bat. Needs to work a lot on his leg side play.

 

[nextover666666]

Why not SA all out for 49 in response?

It was just a fun prediction for paks batting only I do think if pak get that score South Africa would make around 240 all out

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good shot by Fakhar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Every single ball 138 kph at same length just different line.

 

[babajee]

Imam getting out - a blessing in disguise

 

[xricket]

SA missing a trick. Bowl short to Fakhar and don't give him room

 

[Rana]

two flashy boundaries!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Yeah play your shots! man

 

[Amjid Javed]

i Can see SA bowlers using plan of the short ball against Fakhar it may cost a few runs but also probably end up with a wicket as well.

 

[shah_1]

Great shot

 

[Pakhs]

Not a bad start despite losing a wicket.

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Fakhar! keep rotating the strike!

 

[Titan24]

Imam getting out - a blessing in disguise

So are we scoring 400 today?

 

[babajee]

Beautiful.

 

[Greenstorm]

Shan should replace Imam in next series.

 

[iPakistani]

Babar Azam. A different class.

 

[Green Patriot]

Bobby

 

[jnaveen1980]

No slower ball, No yorker, No bouncer,

 

[babajee]

So are we scoring 400 today?

Why not?

 

[a_tahir]

Shot BABAR

 

[Titan24]

Steyn has been attacked throughout the series.

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Bobby!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Shabba mundya rakh khich ge

 

[Mueez]

Haha Steyn

 

[Fahdi]

Babar continues Steyn's phainty

 

[Greenstorm]

Just don't play pull shot against Rabada.

 

[Markhor]

Since 2010, the average 1st inns score in ODIs at Newlands is 278.
