*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

Biased, on both counts too. For Pakistan's standard, or in my mind what I think their standard is they are far below where they should be. For Zimbabwe to beat Pakistan even though it wasn't a big win is still a long way above where they should be. That's not to say that Zimbabwe are a better side on average but I think Pakistan have some issues like WI and Aus atm. Both capable of a good test or even series but not what I'd expect of them

Zimbabwe aren't as good as Pakistan, but I would generally expect more from Pakistan as they have had so many great players/teams compared to Zimbabwe.
EDIT so Zimbabwe are in more trouble.

wouldn't have thought so tbh, Pakistan would probably just crumble under the weight of runs the Saffers would score, square turners more likely IMO

Definitely, bowling attack for the Saffers isn't spin at its core.

Baby duties? Playing with his rattler?

I think south africa might get robbie p in at 7 and include imran tahir with morkel steyn and philander.

Doubt it, especially with Duminy shaping to play as more of a spin-bowling all-rounder

how are you seeing your chances Smeli? Still praying for spinning minefields?

I think you don't want to get your hopes too high, but if the pitches suit then you never know. Need to pick up from the series against Zimbabwe. But a change is only a game away. Agree with the players your saying about too, who need a big series.

If the pitches are as flat as they were last time it might be something they seriously look into.
and if it is a huge turning wicket then. I am not a fan of tahir, but unfortunately I just dont see that morkel could add more to the attack there than tahir or even simon harmer.
Then again would pakistan or the UAE risk making rank turners that break up after 2 days? really it wouldnt satisfy the ICC. would be a huge risk.

The Pakistan and England series was played on good tracks. They weren't breaking up in 2 days.

While I didn't watch that series, it was an extremely low scoring series want it? There were numerous scores of below 150 from both teams. Probably just **** batting though.
