I can't believe a few people on TV are blaming Dhoni for the loss. It was 4 for the loss of three wickets when he came in and also he got out because of umpire decision . Those who are blaming him absolutely knows nothing about cricket .

It's sad. I have also seen some stupid post in social media blaming Dhoni here. In fact, he had nothing to do but support Rohit Sharma. He played good in that position. Those who are blaming Dhoni are kind of typical cricket fan who don't fucking know what cricket is.

While I do agree with both of you except "knowing cricket". but one can't deny that his performance is not that good with the bat in recent times. now he plays ridiculously slow and creates pressure on non-striker as well.

Now there are 2 Dhoni IMHO. One in Ipl and second in ODI. Thala(Dhoni) wins matches with the bat for his franchise against 4-5 bowlers ( Chances are only 2 are international level bowlers and rest of them, average bowlers) that's not the case in International matches. Everyone wants to see IPL's Dhoni including his critics. I still believe that he's a big tournament player and can play a good part in the World Cup squad.

And don't need to be sad at all. that's how fan reacts in Sub-continent (India-Pakistan)

By the way, South africa and Pakistan's match is having twist. Earlier I though South Africa will easily have a minimum of 300 leads while now they lost 5 wickets with a lead of 212 and possibly end up before 300. It's only 2nd day stumped. I think it will not take even the forth day, lol. Pakistan will lose all wickets tomorrow if South Africa can't bat more than 1 session.

I don't think Pakistan will be able to chase any target above 150. There current performance in the series is disappointing one. They may be a good team on dead wickets but there is a question mark on their batting ability once they place on fast bouncy wickets.

South Africa is tough team in Home. its hard to beat them. my hopes are still alive for pakistan. its less than 5% but still alive lol

Patriotism (Guessing you are from Pakistan   )?
Day 3, first session, 213 runs behind, SA still have 5 wickets remaining. In a series Pakistan had so far 294 runs the highest in an innings, in rest of the innings 181, 190, 177 and 185 runs. Do you still have less than 5% hopes alive? I am expecting 0.01% 

You are very optimistic LOL

Specially Indian fans over react on those. I remembered the chaotic condition after the lost against Bangladesh in 2007 world cup.

By the way, Pakistan is going to lose the 3rd match too, imo. In day 3rd, Africa lead by 221 runs with 5 wickets remaining. They will possibly lead by 300 which will be almost impossible for Pakistan to chase. There is no way of draw even, lol.

SA already scored 160, leading by 237 runs. They can easily take the lead to around 350 runs. I guess the Pakistani team can not chase that because the pitch already started to crack. It's not always easy to bat in 4th innings in a test match.

The lead is increasing and already SA is now 369 runs ahead and still 3 wickets left and 2 days of match is still left. Which means the result is for sure and from here is will be only SA who will be on top unless we see some one in Pakistan making a good century stand partnership could help them to win it.

380 is the target. The odds says 1.01 on sportsbet ( which is the minimum ) , interestingly the odds for draw is 80 which should be logically 1000x ( that too if there is a chance to rain )
Anyway it will be 3-0 SA .

That's quite interesting! May I ask what're the odds for Pakistan's win, and what's the "logical" return for it?

[vella85]

Those odds for SA are crazy as anything can happen as there is a lot of time in this test match and Pakistan don't need to hurry bating. Yes we all know how badly Pakistan are when it comes to bating and trying to win a test match but I wouldn't count them out just yet with 3 wickets down and needing another 228 runs to win. All it takes is for the middle order to put on some big partnerships and it could get real close.

I am from  Bar-e-saghir  
They are still on crease so hopes are still alive. pitch is getting easy if middle order can apply themself then there is good chance. hopefully no collapse this time  

Changing side No chance for Pakistan now. 179/6 need 202 runs.

Pakistan lost 3 match test series against South Africa. Quickly checked Pakistani batsmen stats in this series and it's sad to see that not a single century by Pakistani batsmen in this series. a couple of good innings here and there but they failed to play big. and in the 2nd match, Sarfarz blamed the Bowlers that they are not bawling fast enough.

We cannot blame bowlers for this in my view totally battling line up collapsed in this series no batsman give any impact they play very poor shorts and give wickets as gift even captain Sarfraz give his wicket every time without any reason on very poor ball they need to do some hard in battling line up and must bring some solid test batsmen like Indians have Pujara and Rahanae.

Pakistan would definitely be unhappy with this performance as they are getting better and has played some good cricket last year. They would like to realign the team before the world cup so that they have the right combination in the team.

IndymoneyYeah, overall Bawlers did good job for team. don't know why they are not promoting Babar on top. he played good in this series despite batting with tailenders.

Ramij raja telling the similar thing about indian batters in commentary box when talking about technique but other commentator interrupted him because of shadab 's cracking shot.

Sarfaraz going with bad phase right now. His critics are very vocal against him due to bad form with the bat and not showing enough aggressive approach with his captaincy.

Coach Mickey Artur wanna spank him everytime he gets out due to poor shot selection. But as of now pakistan can't afford to lose him as a test captain because I don't see any other senior player can fill his shoe.

onrise as far I remember they played draw against England and won against Aus. But Then lost against kiwis.  Plus Correct me if I am wrong. They lost against srilanka too right??

No one should be blamed; this result was well-expected. Asian teams face extreme trouble while playing in South Africa due to deadly pitches of South African cricket stadiums. Pakistani team, even with all the legends in the past (Imran Khan, Jawed Miandad, Waseem Akram, etc), never succeeded in defeating South Africa in a Test-match series in their homeground, so I never expected Pakistan to win this one anyways.

The second ODI match between Australia and India starts today in Adelaide. I wonder if India will make any changes to their team after the poor middle order batting collapse in the first ODI match. Australia will most likely go in unchanged as the team played well all around, Australia can win the series today if they get the win.

India did well by not changing the middle order combination for this match and would like to see the same batting combination in this series. Win or lose doesn't matter. India trying to solve her problem with middle order crisis here. and for this, they need to give enough chances to the current middle order.

Plus looking for extra seam bowler who can bowl with Bhuvi and Bumrah. that's why they are trying new bowlers and Shami too for ODI
