Also, I feel Imam needs to shut his mouth and just play out there.

Is he acting up in the field? What did he do?

I think it is due to power hitting, Sarfraz isn't a powerful hitter like them.

I donot think Pak team needed a power hitter in match 2 at that situation,
I feel they are trying out the allrounder option, but they need to give them some time and matches before dropping them just after 1 match.

Sarfraz banned by the icc for 4 games.

Cricket has no place for racism - wish ICC had made an example and given him a longer ban.


SA struggling in the middle overs again against spin. Amla and VdD going slow agian

Totally agree - and glad to hear that the ICC were brave enough to sanction a non-white player for rascism.  I wish some leagues in the UK were so brave as to follow that example!

Watching these ODI'S (including the India NZ games etc..) I am really looking forward to a home World Cup that I think is going to be great and really close if everyone turns up.

Good! What he did was plain effing stupid!

ODI series is tied 2-2. Pak bowlers bowled well!

Good come back by Pak team, and good example set by ICC.
PCB should also have asked for public apology inplace of showing disappointment over the decision, cricket boards all over are trying to setup some good examples by banning their players for misconduct and harming the sprint of the game.

For example Warner and Smith were banned by CA, Pandaya and KL Rahul were banned by BCCI for misconduct and inappropriate comments on a TV show.
For many people and young generation these guys are role model and people look upto them and they are representative of their respective nations and players should always keep this in mind, their one bad action may lead to many ill fates.

SA team is not looking convincing at all in the ODI series proving that most of their wins are the result of favorable pitches and conditions.

Pak team has made a good come back after 1 sided test series. Right now they have 3 player in top 5 to get fastest 1000 runs in ODIs, which is a great for Pak team.
SA bowlers are unable to make such an impact in ODIs as they did in test series and SA batters are not looking in good nick at all.

In match 1, H.Amla played an innings of no substance, in today's day and time an opener getting 100 in last 5 over in ODI is not the norm unless someone else is taking the responsibility of getting quick runs.
I.Haq did the same thing in match 3, the score of 317 was never going to be a par score on such a true pitch, in my opinion SA were cruising through (no matter revised  DL total or Not).

If a batter is settled then they should take the responsibility of moving the score at faster rate unless the pitch is really difficult and you have a bowling that can restrict any side under 260.
