Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[StephenZA]

Tough on Pakistan batting line-up to play so poorly in UAE and now have to come down to SA and try to regain confidence. SA not really the place to be scoring big runs.

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

This series could make or break Abbas because he had a terrible series against NZ.

Just came across this guy on twitter so searched him up. 15 and made his FC debut and in Pakistan u19. Sure we can question age but for now take it at face value.

 

[Starfighter]

If this is the guy I'm thinking of (and I think it is 'cause that bowling action is familiar as heck) it's an open secret he's actually seventeen. If it's not I'd still assume the same thing.

Yeah this will be a slaughter.

i want azhar ali to do well

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Also not sure how he's the 100th player to play for the Proteas, if he gets picked. He'll be the 100th since readmission and the 335th overall.

Weren't they known as the Springbok cricket team prior to readmission?

 

[SeamUp]

Get this here already.

Salim Malik's expression in the thumbnail for that video is brilliant.

 

[StephenZA]

The days when commentators called it like it was....

....sadly I could not remember who Commins was.

Salim Malik's expression in the thumbnail for that video is brilliant.

The reverse sweep, seen in the video, that gave the expression to him was better.....

Fearing the worst for this series

Fearing the worst for this series

It's not fear when it's well founded in reason.

 

[Borges]

With Philander and Ngidi unavailable, a whole lot now depends on Steyn's fitness. Pakistan with a fit Abbas are not out of it.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Is Vern out too?

 

[Borges]

Apparently out of the first test. https://citizen.co.za/sport/south-a...ry-if-another-proteas-quick-gets-struck-down/

 

[SeamUp]

Olivier is bowling well at the minute so good to get another look at him especially on the highveld.

The way that Centurion pitches were playing back end of MSL and the new groundsman producing an abbrassive pitch v India with spin who knows what we in for.

With those 3 certain to play & Philander, Ngidi, Nortje out I wonder if they will call another quick up.

Surely they would have to just as backup? You really need to have one more bowler there than you're intending to play just in case someone is ruled out at the last minute. So a call up for Morris?

 

[Bolo]

Really hoping Olivier can remain fit was a surprise to read. I thought he was so far down the pecking order he might never get another game. Anyway, he's pretty solid.

Main question is if we get the complete Steyn

Morris or Beuran Hendricks.

With all of Elgar, Markram, de Bruyn, Faf, Quinny playing for Titans next week Morris won't even get a game.
