South Africa v Pakistan Official Tour Thread

Why is everyone blaming Duminy ?

Why did Pakistan get to 262 in the 1st place ? How much did Smith and Kallis score in both ODI's. Runs win games and Smith and Kallis did not contribute in both games.

There were many times in T20 when Duminy came in and hit some big shots, maybe yesterday was just not his day. Like it wasn't Smith's year and is still not his year.

Like somebody mentioned earlier, you can rotate your batting order. So why didn't they ?

Smith hasn't fixed his problems.
He doesn't deserve to be in the ODI side based on his resent stack of failures.

 

[SinghDude]

There is only one Graeme Smith.


He will be needed in Aus/NZ for the next world cup....



Its been irritating that the team has become so inconsistent.

 

[Garson007]

Kallis did not contribute in both games.

Not sure if serious. Kallis top scored in the first game.

The Pakistanis seem to have sorted their issues and look a well oiled machine. SA's weakness's and noted above clearly has been noted by the oppostions these days, SA predictability, lack of innovation reshuffling the batting order, keeping the opponents guessing etc is evident. Hell open with Parnell for a game why not? when last has such a move been done by SA?

Credit needs to be given where its due. Pakistan mean business.

I'm still to pissed off to make a reasoned comment. **** off JP

No they just sucked less than we do. We lost a home series against NZ FFS!!

 

[Devill]

FFS

It was not needed. steer the team home with a run a ball ....

That was where the problems started.... 35 from 39. No big hitting required, just nudge the singles.

 

[AirWolf]

Since we're doing the blaming game: I nominate McLaren:

1. 9 overs for 71 (7.88 rpo);
2. 5 wides;
3. 0 runs from 1 ball.

 

[Electric]

0 runs from 1 ball, that's just inexcusable.

 

[AirWolf]

Correct .

Especially after he f'ed up while bowling.

 

[Noob-Noob]

I still feel this will be our best ODI team

1.Amla
2.Q de Kock
3.Kuhn
4.Kallis
5.AB
6.G.Smith
7.R.Mclaren

/no longer cares - series lost/

The Pakis don't care - they already won

True, why do we always win the last game after the series is already lost.
