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

[Amjid Javed]

Fakhar needs to be there at end of this inns. Need a big partnership here between these two.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Malik with his current reflexes shouldnt be batting above number 5. I would personally play Rizwan at no 4 or Sarfraz if he comes back in (He is already wasted coming at no 8)

Either way I want Hafeez to come after 25 overs

 

[Titan24]

That means he is power hungry?

Some people fare better with responsibility

 

[Shafi]

Depends on how he does in the next ten Odis

It depends as well. If Haris & Sarfraz back 1 of Shan or Rizwan will be dropped for sure.

 

[topspin]

Fakhar Zaman can tell himself - fortune favours the brave after that lucky boundary.

 

[Titan24]

Either way I want Hafeez to come after 25 overs

Agreed but unfortunately Mickey doesnt seem to be thinking this way

 

[Rana]

And chops it on?

He would play that shot with 2/3 slips lurking. Its his only shot against pace

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Faf the great tactician according to [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] looks a bit nervous at the moment

You don't rate him? He's a very good captain.

 

[Rana]

What was that Shot Malik bhai?? lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik totally out of sorts against pace.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Remember when people wanted Shan Masood in for Fakhar? Fun times that.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

 

[Titan24]

You don't rate him? He's a very good captain.

He is definitely the best since Smith.

 

[Pete Rose]

Rabada on: expected be Malik. The under 12 balls he might have to face right now will make the difference between winning and losing

 

[yasir]

Where SA get these bowlers?? From SA test standard these are grade 2 level. They will get murdered in WC, along with their Choking Genes, this could be disastrous, they are much better off playing two wrist spinners. Actually they must against western teams ( non Asian), they can win lot of matches against them that way. Against Asians ply 3/4 140+ bowlers, I see no point of these useless bits and pieces players, gap is too much between real bowlers and these.

 

[babajee]

If Fakhar bats till the end he will score 150+

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pulled for four.

Rabada smashed to the leg side.

 

[Pete Rose]

Rameez put under pressure again

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar hitting pull on the ground and in the gap, looks like form might be coming back

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar striking at 100 now

 

[Rana]

You don't rate him? He's a very good captain.

They are all good at home when most things are favouring your team. Talent coming through, grounds, crowds, weak oppositions away from home.

Today would be a good test to suggest otherwise

 

[ask_analyse_act]

That means he is power hungry?

whatever if he scores leading from the front and his team wins then i have no problems or questions

 

[Boi]

Captain struggling.

 

[Mueez]

This is what I like about Fakhar, his attitude is amazing.

Always want to fight till the end.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rameez put under pressure again

ya asking about rizwan

 

[Pete Rose]

Malik playing like younis in England 2016 (till the final game of course)

 

[aukhan]

100 won't be enough. Fakhar needs to compensate for his poor form by scoring 150+.

 

[Rana]

Malik dying for Spinners to come on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally Ramiz says something insightful. Yes Rabada's lack of variation is shown up on true wickets. Both Steyn, Rabada use test match bowling strategy in one dayers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rabada is totally in a different league , reminds me of great west indian fast bowlers from the past.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why do they keep talking about philander lol He will be thrashed in the one dayers.

 

[Syed1]

Guys the 'experts' told us the hack has been exposed

 

[Shafi]

Malik is wasting too many balls, Rizwan should come ahead of him

 

[Boi]

Damnit

 

[yasir]

Malik is lucky today, their seamers today are actually fast spinners, ideal for Malik. His skills against pace will be hidden again. Next series is in UAE, after that WC

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar gone game gone?

 

[JibranAnsari]

How do you pronounce adiles first name?

 

[Pete Rose]

ya asking about rizwan

He does the commentary equivalent of scrambling to the non striking end: blurts out a lot of rubbish in one long run on sentence and leaves it to his co-commentator to unscramble the drivel

 

[Green Patriot]

Fakhar gone.

 

[babajee]

What was the need man

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar goes with his favourite shot

 

[PakPremi]

Malik playing like younis in England 2016 (till the final game of course)

Malik is playing fine 7 of 13 plenty of overs left as well.

 

[imshally81]

Malik responsible for Fakharz wicket...

 

[Green Patriot]

Not much quality batting left.
Will we get to 250?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hell no that was out. Tahir knew he touched it

 

[Asif321]

If Tahir comes in good for Malik but bad for rizzu

 

[Titan24]

Sarfaraz will be looking at Rizwan’s innings glued to the TV

 

[Amirforpresident]

How do you pronounce adiles first name?

an-dee-léh

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Andile

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a fantastic catch lol Imran Taihr is not exactly Maxwell on the fence. But he did well there

 

[topspin]

Wicket was coming with 3 dot balls out of 4 coming from Andile's over.

 

[Nov15]

Fakhar needs to find some new ways to get out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

180 all out anyone?

 

[Shafi]

Mr. Slogger is out!!!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

I expect Fakhar receiving nothing but bouncers in the world cup.

 

[yasir]

Too many soft dismissal, let’s see what Rizwan does. I am hopping for good show to put pressure on Desi Manager Captain

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

4 gifted wickets lol

 

[Green Patriot]

Sarfaraz will be looking at Rizwan’s innings glued to the TV

That cracked me up

 

[Pete Rose]

Match getting away from Pakistan at this stage. The rest of these guys can get blown away pretty quickly

 

[Boi]

Going to throw a huge spanner in the works for Sarfraz and the management if these two have a big partnership here.

 

[shariqnoor]

This is what happens when you have nobody taking the responsibility of playing through the innings. 1 player has to bat throughout the innings even if it means an 85 SR.

 

[shah_1]

We basically gave away all the wickets and maybe the match.

 

[Titan24]

I dont know why Fakhar and even some other players dont understand a wicket is more valuable than 4 or 6 runs

 

[Asif321]

Didn’t knew Rizwan has played 25 matches

 

[m.shah]

That was touching

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at how he plays his shots. He just swipes across.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik responsible for Fakharz wicket...

Lol , he was way too.lucky in the innings. His own fault

 

[Babbar]

Pakistan trying to hit 350+ rather than be satisfied with 300-325. In the process it often stays below 275 all out.

Brave strategy. Not playing a safer percentage game like India.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another soft dismissal.

Substandard batting overall in this ins so far.

 

[topspin]

Time for Rizwan to make a name for himself and get Sarfraz discarded for good.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan is now in danger of being bowled out. Really have to hope Malik and Rizwan can play together for a while.

 

[Pete Rose]

Karachi press also following this innings closely

 

[Shafi]

As usual our batsmen choke on decider.

 

[Asif321]

Tahir will eat rizzu alive

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

As usual pak falter in series decider

 

[PakPremi]

Not expecting much from Rizwan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can malik play a captains knock.?

 

[shah_1]

Malik is batting like a tail ender so far

 

[Billa86]

We have been on this tour for nearly 5 weeks and still choose to play short ball. Same old problems. A really good start and now we are in danger of being bowled out under 200. So typical of Pakistan Cricket Team......

 

[RyanRyan10]

If Rizwan gets a good score here,Sarfaraz haters will run a campaign for making Rizwan's place permanent till the world cup
