30th Match - Pakistan v South Africa

[Howe_zat]

I think 320 is chaseable on this wicket.

For most sides I'd agree, especially given the shortish square boundaries. But you can stick a fork in SA's world cup at this point I reckon.

 

[shifty_eyes]

If Pakistan win today, would that validate the creation of a "South Africa- What Went Wrong" thread?

They just don't seem to have a plan and give up easily.

Would Makram have any right to moan if he was dropped for AB at the start of this tournament considering all the years AB given to his country.

Imad has to be one of the smartest Pakistan cricketer, he knows the game plan

He's as good a no. 7 as Pakistan can hope to get.

 

[91Jmay]

Better from Ngidi, bowling to the plan at least. Keep them under 320

 

[trundler]

Aw well got carried away but he did the job. As good an innings of 22 you could ask for.

 

[slippy888]

Harris need 12 runs for the 100

 

[trundler]

That was a good over. Poor Rabada. Was a great bouncer.

 

[trundler]

Sending Wahab at 7 was brain-dead but also realistic considering I can't recall when Sarfraz last hit a boundary

 

[weldone]

Lol just realised Sarfraz sent Wahab before himself. What a loser!

 

[Howe_zat]

Unless he's injured, there's no reason at all for Sarfraz to send Wahab Riaz in ahead of him. If you can't back yourself to clear the ropes for one over better than a bloke who averages 14 then you've got no place in an ODI middle order.

Truly Pakistan finish

 

[OverratedSanity]

Great knock by Harris.

 

[vcs]

These figures are going to flatter Ngidi so much.. bowled trash mostly.

 

[slippy888]

why did safraz not cross there

 

[Top_Cat]

Unless he's injured, there's no reason at all for Sarfraz to send Wahab Riaz in ahead of him. If you can't back yourself to clear the ropes for one over better than a bloke who averages 14 then you've got no place in an ODI middle order.

Agreed. Bizarre call.

 

[91Jmay]

Good from Ngidi in the end. Chaseable, De Kock big start required

 

[andmark]

mr_mister wins.

Thanks for that weldone. It kept me interested in the match.
