*Official* South Africa in Pakistan, 2021

Good on Linde. Made an adjustment to his grip to account for finger injury and bowled beautifully with it. Might consider adopting that into his arsenal full time now.

Don't see SA chasing this.

Great stuff from Linde.

I just realized PCB got their presentation aesthetic from powerpoint auto design tool.

Been impressed by Linde. From not knowing if he could contribute to picking up 5 is massive for him.

 

[Bahseph]

Watching Markram vs Spin is not a pleasing experience for a Protea fan. Just such hard hands. He will always bring the close in fielders into the game.

 

[nightprowler10]

That's not a bad review tbh.

 

[nightprowler10]

Well deserved for Shaheen but just so ordinary from Elgar.

 

[Bahseph]

There is a reason Elgar averages around 40 and not closer to 50. His dismissals in this Test prove why.

 

[TT Boy]

Ordinary from Elgar but never seen him so fluent. Also, you probably couldn't ask for a better batting surface on day 4 in Asia. Wicket has held up nicely. A good batting outfit could get this.

Watching Eng/Ind currently, how's Markram looking? Is he looking more and more comfortable against the spin? Really enjoyed his effort in the 1st test, knuckled down and batted time

Iffy but considering he averaged about 10 before the 1st test in Asia, you would take this.

 

[straw man]

No pressure South Africa but the more difficult the chase and the more foreign the conditions the better you do in 2021, so you have to chase this.

 

[nightprowler10]

Hasan had been terrible, but Markram had done really well. Making this chase look easy.

Yes, they just need a couple of injuries now and they'll cruise it

 

[trundler]

It probably won't deteriorate too much from hereon it's all about not shitting the bed for either team.

Staffers seem like a #playthruthapain team. We might find out later that de Coco was keeping with a broken arm or something.

 

[Rasimione]

Did bavuma expose nortje? Wasnt it a first baller?
And rabada at 10 can definately bat. Lots of people on the forum reckon he will score at ton at some time

Not a chance.

 

[Dendarii]

While. I'm not convinced that South Africa are going to be able to pull it off, credit where credit's due as they have put themselves into a position overnight where it is still very much on.

 

[Stefan9]

Very nice fighting effort from Aiden & Rassie. That is all we can ask here. Lets hope our seniors aka faf & qdk can somehow muster the same..

 

[artvandalay]

The 2 batsmen from saf who have actually shown some application n this tour despite their flaws. I know some saf fans here don't rate rassie but you can't ignore a guy who makes runs through grit and stubbornness despite his limitations.

Didn't watch much of this test match yesterday, any chance of South Africa doing what WI did to Bangladesh? Is the pitch unplayable yet? Hoping to watch today and hopefully a close finish.
