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

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Think it's the first double hundred since Hashim Amla vs England 2016

What a time to get it, that performance should book his place in the WTC final

I was just about to ask that, crazy.

 

[Stefan9]

50 for Kyle. Well played.

It is, although Faf made 199 against Sri Lanka in 2020.

Elgar also had 199, think vs Bangladesh.

 

[Betterpolo]

This is just brutal now

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Right we have Pakistan right where we want them , I hope we don't do anything silly , look after our fast bowling resources in the match.

 

[Stefan9]

Well played Kyle. Another ton.

 

[Stefan9]

100 and out for Kyle.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Well played Kyle. Another ton.

It's either feast or famine for Kyle

8 of his last 13 innings he's scored less than 22 , yet in that he has 3 test hundreds and a 50

Rickelton had pretty ordinary returns prior to this but maybe this innings kick-starts his test career. Or he becomes the new Karun Nair.

 

[Darwin Award]

Current highest score hit by a batsman in Cape Town: Stephen Fleming 262.

 

[Stefan9]

50 for plankie

Its not like he has played loads of games. This is only his 10th test.
This one along with the PE 100 is hopefully the turning point to a long test career.

 

[Stefan9]

Gone for 259. Well played Ryan.

 

[Burgey]

Where is Pakistan’s actual bowling attack?

Where is Pakistan’s actual bowling attack?

Apparently Afridi is having his workload managed for the series, and so is Shah for the game. Oh and they didn’t rate the two spinners who ran through England and then bowled nearly 40 overs of spin from their batting all rounder. Very odd.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Rickelton the 8th SA batter to own a 250+ score in Test cricket:

Jackie Mcglew ,Graeme Pollock, Gary Kirsten, Daryll Cullinan, Graeme Smith, Ab De Villiers, Hashim Amla and now Ryan Rickleton

Hmmmmm. Interesting. Very very interesting

 

[trundler]

We're going to lose this by two innings.
