*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[vcs]

SL is underrated, WI has been comfortably the worst Test venue since Walsh-Ambrose retired IMO.

On the second thought. You might be right.

To me Pakistan absolutely need to make the following changes. I must say Razzaq seems to be in a good touch...make him open the innings.

Razzaq
Hafeez
YK
Misbah
Umar Akmal
Fawad Alam
Afridi
ZQH
Riaz
Ajmal
Akhtar

Let Fawad Alam open the innings. Best technique out of all. And he'll get the time to play himself in as well.

lol..........tbh I find the test series in Pakistan (when they were held of course) to be the worst of the lot usually. Especially since 2000s (even a lot of them in the 90s) were terrible to watch. My least favorite venue to watch cricket (at least test cricket) is Pakistan.

Well SL competes with Pak for the worst test match places IMO

LOL......I still have your older comment.

Completely disagree. You don't find a better place in SC which helps bowlers than SL. It has flat tracks of SSC to spinning paradises of Galle to seaming Dambulla, unlike roads that break up after 3 days in India, and Pakistan for all 5 days and five more it keeps as a road.

I never knew that Dambulla was a seamer's paradise????

You might be right actually but the ground most associated with SL cricket is SSC which you might agree is not the best place in the world to hold test matches if you want a result oriented match.

The series where Sehwag hit his first triple with a six against Saqlain,was a great series for me in pakistan.

Beleive it was the first as well after Kargil.

Afridi hit a terrific ton in the Asia Cup against SL earlier this year, all the other batsmen seemed to struggle in that game. But Pakistan lost the match. I think there was also some rumour about that match being under investigation for fixing.

A couple of Sehwag's knocks in the Micromax Cup were very good. Seemed to be playing a different game to everyone else.

Yeah!!!
Also remember one of Sehwag's hundred in that incredibly low scoring tour to Newzealand India had before the one last year.

Beating Pakistan = awesome, fullstop.

Couldn't care less if it bores the pants off the rest of the world.

 

[slowfinger]

Don't wanna sink your ship here but can you try to keep on the topic moderately ? Thanks.

I think, for you, it is a good time for India-Pak series because they might beat Pak quite easily these days.......

Incidentally coming back to the topic I predict a real thrashing for Pak by the South Africans.

 

[fishyguy]

langveldt is a disgrace. I dont understand what goes through these bowlers minds when they bowl at the death. The most obvious answer is bowl yorkers and here he is bowling length and then short deliveries. And i've seen him bowl poorly at the death before. Langveldt is terrible shouldnt be in the team at all. why do they keep playing him when they have all these other players. And what happened to Theron?

 

[kingkallis]

Kallis in, Langeveldt and Peterson out!

Farhat in, Misbah out!

 

[Jono]

Love Shoaib when he's on like this!

 

[Daemon]

Just when Razzaq asked the management to not drop players as a solution to all problems, you have Misbah, the test captain, dropped from the team. Must do a world of good to his confidence I imagine.


o.o whats with the third umpire?

 

[Jono]

WHAT THE **** IS THAT?

That is the worst third umpire decision I've ever seen.

AB clearly not stumped, but given out?

Smith cracking it on the balcony!

 

[Uppercut]

What the hell was that?

Is the third umpire from Pakistan?

 

[Jono]

For some reason he thinks the foot is in the air?

Surely fired and never umpiring a match again.

 

[Briony]

As the home team he would be. But we know how much Pakistan cheats so why would anyone be surprised?
