Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[SeamUp]

Amir definitely come to play his shots.

Shafiq has been a huge disappointment over the last couple of years. Pakistan's Rahane, almost, since he's showed flashes of enormous promise overseas. Plays some excellent knocks from time to time but hasn't shown any extended period of consistency. Dude is 33 as well, he shouldn't be irreplaceable.

 

[OverratedSanity]

If they jam their way to 180 odd this could still be a very nervy chase.

 

[trundler]

Unplayable ball. Like the fighting spirit he's got.

Was Pakistans best batsman of their abysmal 0-3 thrashing a few years ago. Doesn't even look half the player now.

VERY unlikely. Shan will probably go all out now and get out soon.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Sarfraz is a good cricketer but the amount of cricket he plays is staggering. Every other international side has a reserve keeper in their XI, but I don't think Pakistan do. Got to take its toll sometimes

 

[trundler]

Yeah Shafiq needs to take on more responsibility. Hides down low and gets out doing dumb ****.

 

[SeamUp]

10-for

Hoerskool Centurions first test player performs at Centurion.

 

[trundler]

Ten for the noob. Great display of fast bowling here. Shows you why it is the supreme skill in cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

How do SA keep pulling quality fast bowlers out of their backsides ffs?

 

[StephenZA]

Well done to Olivier... great 10 for.

Thanks for the selection headaches!

 

[Niall]

Does Rizwan have test potential ? He seems to have been around for ever in the set-up.

Remember Babar playing 2 u19 CWCs and there was always batsman with big hope but noticed in recent u19 CWCs there hasn't been any.

Not sure tbh. I don't think they will make any changes for the next test bar bringing back Abbas.

And yeah Shafiq is the poor mans Rahane, has a knack of playing a gun innings when under pressure and then underwhelming for ages afterwards.

I'd expect one big innings probably when the game is gone this series and 5 flops.

Seriously though. Is it the braai?

Has batted up the order with mixed results. Got a century in England and then a string of low scores. Story of his career really.

 

[SeamUp]

Seriously though. Is it the braai?

Well, when Nortje was called to say he was signed for IPL he was buying some braai meat according to the cricinfo article.

 

[trundler]

Was a glorious pull even if it got no run

 

[trundler]

Glorious shot. Take a single now.

 

[trundler]

Starting to look like not that bad a pitch.

 

[cnerd123]

Lol Pakistan. From 100/1 to this. Never change
