Hasan joins the Party too, 2 quick wickets. I wouldn't compare him to Sami. Hasan is a genuine wicket taker (albeit expensive at times) and if you look at his test record over the past 12 months he's done well when ever given the chance- also give adds a little extra spice to the attack.

Hasan Ali might be deemed a wicket taker but in a low scoring match bowling 34 overs and going at over 4.5rpo is one of the reasons why Pakistan where never in the match.

Shaheen was far more threatening yet was dropped

Pakistan made a solid start for once but Steyn and Olivier now getting into them. Azhar Ali bounced out again

Openers batted well, very well. Played test cricket.. funny how that works.

Ali looks shot and the next two just played whiteball so May come off but will most likely flunk soon enough

These figures are wrong. Shafiq have 12 hundreds but 9 are in Asia. 1 in England, Australia and South Africa but he averages under 30 outside Asia.

Yes. They are. My error.

Pakistan sliding towards defeat. 204-7 Olivier got Azam and the hapless Sarfraz. Markram just grabbed a blinder in the gully to end Faheem's resistance

Oliver has been the standout bowler this series. He�s gone away and put some pace on.

Closest replacement for morkel - Early doors appears to have more luck and more aggression

His action doesn't look the smoothest but you are right, he does generate lots of bounce which was the main aspect the SA bowling line up was missing now that Morkel has retired.

Not sure if this works outside the UK but Sky have 5 min highlights of each days play here - https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/cricket

SA pitches in this series were really bad, it will be too early to assess Oilvier's performance on this basis.
Would like to see how he performs on good tracks or batting friendly wkt.

de Kock and Steyn rested from opening two ODIs, Markram comes back into contention. "Bone crusher" Olivier set to debut. Hopefully the ODIs are more competitive

Vd dussen 93 on debut - carrying on his good domestic t20 form.

SA will be disappointed they haven�t got more, they didn�t show much intent at all in the middle overs. Amla might go on to get a 100 but should�ve batted quicker given how many wickets they had in hand.

Well done, Amla!

csnew · « **Reply #116 on:** January 19, 2019, 05:59:56 PM »

Bet SA wish they had another 30-40 runs. Puts into context how poor amla�s 100 was

ProCricketer1982 · « **Reply #117 on:** January 19, 2019, 06:42:40 PM »

Interesting end. Nice close finish is better than 300 players 260. Pk not finishing strongly so could have gone either way until the e d

Caught the majority of the South Africa innings and whilst Amla scored a century, not once did he impose his will on the Pakistani slow bowlers. Amla is generally considered one of the greatest players of spin of the modern era. He didn't look to sweep or use his feet. You could see du Plessis wasn't amused. You can remove some blame from the debutant as I doubt he'd have played much against spinners like Shadab and Imad.

I think Pakistan's max capacity is chasing 240-270. Their batting also lacks the dynamic hitters other sides have especially since Zaman has gone off the boil

^ I think Pak bowlers restricted the scoring and their batsmen took full advantage of the pitch and conditions. Bowling combination/selection was correct for the conditions. Pak team played well and it was a good win. Yes, yes, everyone loves to criticize them but they played well in this ODI. Had they had a little more preparation for the Test matches, they'd have fared better as well.
