*** Official *** Pakistan all format tour of South Africa 10 December to 7 January

[trundler]

51 runs in 8 overs is wild given the match situation

It wasn't *that* tough for batting at all especially today. Both teams gifted a lot of wickets.

cracking game. question is where do Pakistan go with Abbas from here, do they just pick him in NZ, SA, England or are they gonna stick with him

 

[Prince EWS]

Wow.... what an unbelievable day of Test cricket. Who the **** said it's dying

Now watch people ruin it by talking about the implications on a dire future exhibition match.

 

[Bahseph]

KG been Tim Southee’ing it his whole career.

Too slow for test cricket, got lucky. De-select him for the next Wahab Riaz

 

[Gnske]

Also two test series are a ****ing blight and anyone responsible for continuing this tradition should be Mangioni'd

Well done SA. Yesterday I said the WTC is flawed because of the unbalanced schedules while acknowledging it's not their fault and was interrogated with insinuations of being a salty England fan&that I was in denial over England's level etc when I never said anything about them before pointing out they aren't in the top 2 teams in the world.

Hope SA beat Australia or India and that this gives test cricket in SA a lift.

@GoodAreasShane

Biggest tasting since Spikey?

Yes IMO.

I said I would retire the whole Rabada's batting thing when he scores 50 in any level of professional cricket, so in that respect I'm still alright #clutchingatstraws


Seriously though, how the hell did he do that? Sounds like an absolute cracking finish to the game, genuinely regret sticking with the BBL game and not watching this

You wouldn't have enjoyed the matchwinning Rabada innings, don't worry.

I think if you had watched a Stars or Thunder match instead, that would be unforgivable.

You did the right thing

subjected to a world class trumpet performance?

It’s all good bro. We enjoy watching Bazball as well.

Would have been interesting in a "holy **** this can't actually be happening" sense


Easily the darkest moment in the history of Pakistan cricket

Seriously though, that shot off the back foot over cover was insane.

Could Rabada be the next Joel Garner?

SA and SL will Steven Bradbury their way past with gifted schedules while the Big 3 all beat and lose against each other to finish outside the top 2

The WTC being deeply flawed has been talked about to death but you can only play who you are put in front of you and if you win all your series who's to say you don't deserve a finals spot

 

[SeamUp]

Context of the match and our batting. Well deserved man of the match Sauce.

I see South African cameramen haven't changed in the last 20 years. Excellent crowd work

i was only watching for the baddies on the hill
