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

[JibranAnsari]

Its criminal that you give away wickets to a bowler like phul.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wont get to 250 now

 

[Babbar]

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.

Anyone with SR of 85 is pathetic. Pakistan should throw out anyone below 100 SR. Rayudus and Dhonis have no place in Pakistan team.

 

[shah_1]

Malik gets a much needed full toss and scores 2 runs

 

[imshally81]

Just need to play 50 overs completely..

 

[Pete Rose]

I sincerely hope, Rizwan has done something like Shan with this batting while out of the team, because when we saw him last in Australia, he was strokeless and completely out of sorts

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Now Pakistan need these two to somehow stay there till the 40th over.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Massive chance now for Rizwan to try and prove himself.

 

[Boi]

Faf trying to go for the kill by bowling Rabada so much. Just play next few overs out.

 

[aukhan]

Karachi press also following this innings closely

Poor Rizwan is being bashed already. They don't want him in the squad as it pressurizes Sarfraz.

 

[m.shah]

Is it only me who think tahir's foot touched the rope?

 

[jnaveen1980]

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......

You can't fix in one tour. Many players could not fix it entire career. Azharuddin, Steve waugh, Raina to name a few.

 

[Billa86]

Why does rizwan wants to run after tapping every ball. He is known to run himself out in previous occasions.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

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.

people called imam's innings as slow and poor , when it is shown today that was the necessity for this weak batting unit..

 

[Titan24]

Team batting first here wins more than 90% of the matches. If our batsmen can play full quota of 50 overs we will be in the game.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Defos wont get 300 now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is it only me who think tahir's foot touched the rope?

Only you lol. There was a gap between his feet and fence

 

[Markhor]

Crunch period coming up. 300 was on but now I'm just hoping for 260.

 

[aukhan]

Both of them need to be patient here...plenty of overs left and this is the last recognized batting pair.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Only 6 overs left from Steyn and Rabada. Pakistan just need to be a bit more patient.

 

[aukhan]

Raba has 3 more overs left...

 

[topspin]

Just a matter of time before Shoaib Malik is dismissed here. Looks really out of his depth here - we really can't be carrying him in the WC. Needs to be replaced by Shan Masood.

 

[Titan24]

Some people were saying Imam slowed down the innings when we scored 317 without realizing base is the most important thing

 

[Banter]

This pair needs to survive for a good 15 overs. Run rate doesn't even matter. Fakhar has given a decent cushion. If they survive, Pakistan can get to 250 and have a fighting chance.

But old man Malik is hopping against pace, can he survive?

 

[Theo_14]

Need a anchor performance from Malik otherwise we will lose.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Malik looking wobbly

 

[Ozymandiasza]

IN bilaterals nobody call them that. They have impressive bilateral records over the years. Even if they lose today nobody will call that as they are still unsure of combination for the world cup. Most teams take the risk of losing a game to prepare themselves for the world cup

We get called chokers ALL THE TIME. Bilaterals or WC, doesn't matter. Every "pressure situation". It's quite silly.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Needed Babar and Fakhar to forge a big partnership. Anyway we can see what Rizwan can do..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Massive chance now for Rizwan to try and prove himself.

he will score a 60 today and the total would be 245-8 in 50 overs i think

 

[Ozymandiasza]

He is definitely the best since Smith.

And Hansie

 

[imshally81]

Crunch period coming up. 300 was on but now I'm just hoping for 260.

I am just hoping to play 50 overs..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rizwan isnt great

 

[Billa86]

I understand the art of playing a perfect pull shot cannot be mastered in single tour and it takes time. But what is the purpose of our batting coach... Batsmen know they will face many short pitch deliveries so surely they can sway away from this but feel our batsmen in particular are mentally weak.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to attack

 

[Mansoor3120]

Misbah rizwan

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan is one hell of a powerhouse player on his day in recent times. Lets hope its his day today

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan isnt great

You are Sarfaraz Ahmed?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Phul getting way too much respect.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Minnows get another reality check

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This guy rizwan seriously

 

[Asif321]

Finally run for riz

 

[shah_1]

Phul will be smashed against quality batting units. He is extremly lucky to bowl to Pakistan batsmen lol

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

They keep bringing this Rizwan hack back. He is not international grade batsman. Just a good fielder that is all. Kami would have been a better option or even Umar Akmal.

 

[Pete Rose]

Rameez is so much better when he recalls his playing days (excluding the World Cup)

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

You are Sarfaraz Ahmed?

You make me sleepy

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rizwan List A average is pretty fantastic.

A good chance for him to prove it here.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Lol another blessings in disguise coming

 

[Asif321]

Damm Rizwan against spin

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

They keep bringing this Rizwan hack back. He is not international grade batsman. Just a good fielder that is all. Kami would have been a better option or even Umar Akmal.

Agree

 

[Titan24]

This guy rizwan seriously

Kindly share the record of Sarfaraz for last year or so.

Rizwan is making a comeback, give him some time.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan was extremly poor against Adil Rashid so lets see

 

[Amjid Javed]

Got horrible feeling we wont even bat 45 overs here never mind full 50.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Let rizwan breathe a little , he has sat on the bench all tour.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Got horrible feeling we wont even bat 45 overs here never mind full 50.

In sha Allah

 

[shah_1]

Nervous start so far

 

[Boi]

Rizwan still crap against spin

 

[Titan24]

Let rizwan breathe a little , he has sat on the bench all tour.

Sarfraz’s brigade is ready to bash him

 

[JibranAnsari]

Faf is a very good captain , didnt try to bowl tahir to fakhar much.

 

[aukhan]

Rizwan under pressure thanks to the media.

 

[Pete Rose]

Has Imran Tahir bowled a legspinner yet?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Lol...Sarfraz is safe...rizwan looks like s tailender...yes..worse than safi

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz fans wanting Rizwan to fail lol

 

[Pete Rose]

Rizwan under pressure thanks to the media.

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

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why don't we have a decent backup for Sarfraz?

We use to have Moin Khan and Rashid Latif. Where is the back up?

 

[m.shah]

Lol another blessings in disguise coming

There is no blessing in disguise in cricket

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Sarfraz fans wanting Rizwan to fail lol

Rizwan will fail anyway

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Rizwan looks nervous and Malik is not woken up yet, he is not looking committed in his shots

 

[lahoriyah1234]

We will see how these SA chokers get anything over 200 against pak spinners. I told u SA will choke against spin today.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Lol...Sarfraz is safe...rizwan looks like s tailender...yes..worse than safi

He really is. Hasan Ali is 10 times the batter he is. Just not good enough for this level.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistan need to play for a 250 and hope for a bonus in the last five overs, if they have the wickets

 

[Green Patriot]

Last 4 overs.
9 runs,1 wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We get called chokers ALL THE TIME. Bilaterals or WC, doesn't matter. Every "pressure situation". It's quite silly.

Yes. That is the price they paid for having such a strong team for best part of the last 2 decades and not reaching even a single world cup final. This is the first time since 1992 i don't consider SA a favorite for the world cup. May be this might help them playing without pressure. They should use the underdog tag to their advantage.

 

[shah_1]

Shot boy

 

[JibranAnsari]

Malik is done and dusted.

 

[Gullycricket]

Some people were saying Imam slowed down the innings when we scored 317 without realizing base is the most important thing

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

 

[Mansoor3120]

We need to score 180 here

 

[m.shah]

Wicket of Fakhar completely changed the momentum

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

pak 220 at best

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Good shot to release pressure by Rizwan

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Malik is so against bounce
