Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[trundler]

Is this what watching the famed West Indian quartet was like?

 

[SeamUp]

Clarke Kent aka Justin Kemp in the house.

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

As usual Azhar useless fails again

 

[SeamUp]

Oh man. It's brutal.

 

[StephenZA]

Brutal.

 

[SeamUp]

The perfect wicket for a sub-continent team really. Won't be loads of sideways movement but quick enough and good bounce.

 

[StephenZA]

I`m starting to think that SA may need to flatten the pitches a bit.... just to get a full game in.

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

If Olivier makes it into SA squad for WC, No one can stop them from winning the WC.

 

[Stefan9]

Great delivery. Pakistan simply unable to cope with the bounce.

Pitch to be rated poor by ICC....

 

[trundler]

Terrible. Action Replay of his first dismissal.

 

[trundler]

Suppose this is what playing in UAE most of the time will do.

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

Olivier should start doing slit throat celebration now.

 

[vcs]

Suppose this is what playing in UAE most of the time will do.

The effect is really being felt now that Younis (and Misbah to a lesser extent) are gone. Very few batsmen being produced who seem to have the technique to cope with bounce. It doesn't seem to help their bowling attack either as there's too much of a burden on Yasir to take wickets. The pitches this season were a bit more bowler-friendly TBF.

 

[SeamUp]

Asad Shafiq looking good and ripe for his quality knock per series.

 

[Woodster]

Love watching a pitch with bounce and carry and it is a real test for batsmen that are used to the placid nature of the UAE pitches. Some deliveries have contained excessive tennis ball bounce but it is more exciting to watch.

 

[SeamUp]

What a bowler.

 

[trundler]

That 2nd four was very well played. Although now that I've said it..

 

[Woodster]

Asad Shafiq looking good and ripe for his quality knock per series.

Nicely done

 

[SeamUp]

Nicely done

I try help where I can.
