Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[morgieb]

Pakistan doing better than I expected lol

 

[GRAB]

On past experience it does but you never know anymore.

The other thing is the d ibbits and the cracks which make batting day 4 and day 5 a nightmare.

Day 1, 2 and day 3 best for batting.

Variable bounce on day one is never a good sign...

Variable bounce on day one is never a good sign...

Its been happening for years at this venue but you still get value for shots initially. Day 4 and day 5 when it happens regularly .... good luck

Remember Mitch Johnson ?

 

[Niall]

If Olivier could be more consistent between the wicket taking deliveries he could push Ngidi imo. Just doubt he can correct it now. Handy fifth seamer to have around though it must be said.

If they can only pick 5 whites, not sure you can't justify Oliver tbh.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wow thought South Africa would be batting by now. Pleasant surprise

 

[trundler]

Yeah this is far better than expected.

 

[Borges]

Duanne Olivier showing us that he is a worthy addition to this never ending line of South African quick bowlers.

 

[SeamUp]

Makhaya Ntini pumping the iron in his retirement.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wow Makhaya is fat

 

[SeamUp]

Some great memories and thoughts during the break from just about everyone.

Hoolio Forgot they called him that

 

[Black_Warrior]

Azhar has looked good

 

[SeamUp]

Azhar has looked good

Been excellent.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Shafiq on the other hand has destroyed me this year. I've just been so invested since 2010 and post Mis You was meant to be him leading Pakistan's batting. Given me an existential crisis.

 

[trundler]

Don't give me false hope Babar

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Azhar has looked good

He is a class player, only criticism you can have of him is hasn't got as many tons as he perhaps should have.

 

[trundler]

And you ****s jinxed him.

A brilliant catch reminiscent of Ponting.

 

[trundler]

Short pitched bowling proving to be the undoing of Pakistan. As expected.

 

[SeamUp]

Olivier hit the bat harder than you think. Got up to 148 today which starts to have flames behind the ball at that speed.

 

[GRAB]

The Ntini bouncer that keeps following you! He has the best bouncer of Saffer bowler for some time now...

 

[trundler]

Brings out the croucher whose technique is basically asking to be torn apart by pace and bounce.
