*Official* South Africa in Pakistan, 2021

[NotMcKenzie]

Nice work from Fawad.

 

[tony p]

What a way to bring up the ton, well played sir.

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** yeah what a legend

 

[trundler]

Yes, that's the sound of 22 million panties hitting the floor

 

[SSA]

All hopes on Fawad for 2moz.

What a champ

 

[Bijed]

Is that 3 tons no 50s now for Fawad? Only other person I can think of to do that is Bopara of all people

 

[OverratedSanity]

For all the talk about him being unfairly treated PCB have given him plenty of chances now. Can fawad be any good if he hasn't scored any fifties in 7 tests now? I like him but this is probably the end of the line.

 

[91Jmay]

SA use of the new ball absolutely junk. QdK isn't a captains arsehole

 

[nightprowler10]

What a man Fawad. Two centuries in a short time, both under immense pressure.

Happy to wake up to see we're still batting.

 

[MW1304]

How can you not love Fawad.

I'm happy he's making the runs he missed out on, but it's bittersweet. Will always be a what-if.

 

[SSA]

Good on the PCB for putting a high quality live stream on Youtube, but not having the over count visible on the overlay is a pretty basic production fail.

"It's a PCB production"

 

[Starfighter]

I love the bit in the score bar during the break: 'Pakistan v South Africa. It's a PCB Production'. Great turn of phrase.

 

[tony p]

I'm missing Chanderpaul, how about those two batting together, bowlers wouldn't know what direction to bowl.

 

[91Jmay]

Seriously would love someone to explain to me Rabada getting two overs with the old ball and then spinner first over of new ball.

 

[Starfighter]

The ball is eight overs old and Markram is bowling. WTF?

 

[Aritro]

" Fawad joins Ravi Bopara as the only other batsman to have three Test centuries without a fifty" says Cricinfo commentary.

Conversion rate not unlike that of the Spanish Inquisition.

 

[tony p]

Markram looks like a good change.

 

[SSA]

Seriously would love someone to explain to me Rabada getting two overs with the old ball and then spinner first over of new ball.

He's been low on pace. Guess the quicks are tired

 

[Spark]

Rabada is bowling high 120s here.

This is a bit different because he's obviously not fully match fit yet and still working his way into it, but it's been low key a bit of a while since Rabada did anything of note in Tests.

 

[StephenZA]

I have not seen a SA team fall apart so easily as I have in recent times. We always used to at least keep fighting even when we went down.
