Tbf he could have gotten out and the defeat would have been bigger?Don't know why they were praising Rizwan at the end there. Terrible innings.
Him going at under run a ball for 50 balls is what got us in that situation in the first place though.Tbf he could have gotten out and the defeat would have been bigger?
With 3/4 overs to go you could have still won.
I guess it depends on the quality around him. Haven't seen much of the middle order before.Him going at under run a ball for 50 balls is what got us in that situation in the first place though.
Think Saim should open going forward to break up the monotony at the top. The middle order is untested but they were under immense pressure because of Rizwan's struggles today. When he's not on song he just can't get anything away that isn't in the slot and on leg stump. All SA had to do was not bowl it in his arc and they did that perfectly, especially the spinners.I guess it depends on the quality around him. Haven't seen much of the middle order before.
Babar at 3 or Rizwan at 3?Think Saim should open going forward to break up the monotony at the top.

The run of fast bowling talent in SA since readmission continues to be ridiculous....
