[slowfinger]

forgot that the SA cameras love panning to the babes in the crowd

Riveting stuff

The cricket I mean

 

[BazBall21]

Abbas is fun to watch when he gets it talking

 

[BazBall21]

How many consecutive overs from Abbas?

 

[trundler]

SA still got this. Been a fantastic match and I'm just happy for Abbas

 

[SeamUp]

Whole session Abbas

South Africa get out of here Conditions are tough but got to be better.

Big improvement from cobbling together 200s to being able to score 300s but there is still a collapse in them.

 

[Heboric]

Doesn't matter. Even if SA fluke a win here doesn't change this fact.

If Corbin Bosch wasn't allowed to pile up in 1st innings, Pak would have easily won by now.

Jeepers did a South African steal your girlfriend. Talk about **** posting

It seems like people like reminding SA fans that we aren’t as good as we think we are, even though SA fans on CW know exactly where we stand as a team. Don’t know what that is about?

Okay I will stoop to the same level. If SA took a triple hat trick they wouldnt be chasing that target

 

[Pothas]

Abbas! What an absolute hero

Worst SA side ever?

You don't know that for certain. If Bosch goes out earlier then the match state changes. You can't assume everything else would have played out in exactly the same way as it has.

 

[Kirkut]

Worst SA side ever?

When Jansen is showing better application than Beddingham, Verryenne and Bosch, what does it say? You can sugar coat facts as much as you like.

Life is linear.

Bosch is in his debut Test. Jansen has been around for years and has batted 7 across formats.

 

[King Kane]

I'm still backing SA while Jansen is still there, he is a clutch player, future SA captain, if he goes early after lunch I'm backing Pakistan, simple as that.''

It says that Jansen is playing better today than those others. It's a massive leap to go from that to declaring this side worse than any other side South Africa has put out over its entire history (which is more than 100 years).

 

[Bahseph]

Calling this SA side the worst ever is also taking away from how great Abbas has been. Better batsman would have been under pressure today than what SA have.

When was the last time you saw SA batting this fragile? You can certainly attribute this collapse to some very good bowling from Khurram and Abbas, but it doesn't change the fact that it's their weakest batting lineup ever.
