Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

See a bit of Kallis in that shot

 

[OverratedSanity]

The pitch has predictably looked a bit different in this innings.

The pitch has predictably looked a bit different in this innings.

Expect Pakistani batsmen to exaggerate the trickiness of a pitch. Consistent bounce.

Markram prioritised his university, was playing provincial cricket. Forced his way into team after a great franchise season. Have heard nothing about NZ.

It was on cricinfo though but Firdose love to sensationalise every news about SA transformation.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's seems roadish

Yep. Lots of shades of Kallis in the way he moves into his shots.

As I'm typing this, he plays the swivel.

I am in love.

 

[trundler]

It's just bounce which rattled the Pakistani batsmen. That and sideways movement early on. Nothing demonic.

Yeah that was super Kallis like.

 

[trundler]

New ball wasted. Abandon all hope.

Yorkers work on any surface.

poor Pakistan facing big defeat in- side 3 days
1 down

Elgar gone off amir

 

[StephenZA]

Typical Elgar dismissal.... started getting a bit punchy with the good start.

Yeah you rather want him to start scratchy and fight to that first 50.

Thanks, Nostradamus.

Amazing shots from Markram. This guy will be a superstar in future if he can sort out his game outside SA. Keep him away from IPL.

Amazing shots from Markram. This guy will be a superstar in future if he can sort out his game outside SA.

He's only played two matches outside of South Africa, both in Sri Lanka. So the state of his game outside of South Africa is largely unknown.

 

[trundler]

Fml he had to return to form NOW

 

[trundler]

Double strike would be nice right about now

 

[StephenZA]

Great 50.... Markram is a thing of beauty when batting like this.



He has not actually been in terrible form; the SL series was his only real series failure scored runs against everybody else.
