Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[SeamUp]

It's on.

 

[TT Boy]

Top bowling and lefties at Kingsmead always seem to give South Africa issues. Not much left to come and Pak still have the spinners.

 

[Bahseph]

Miller isn't unproven in these situations. But if Klaasen, Andile and Phehlukwayo step up then that would be great for us.

 

[TT Boy]

Dussen seems like a decent batsman. Not sure on him against spin but playing the quicks well and not airy fairy like Hendricks or Faf were.

 

[GRAB]

Miller averages below 30 in chases (not unsurprisingly...)

He's only allowed to bat once.

 

[TT Boy]

That was soft.

 

[GRAB]

That was... unsurprising.

 

[SeamUp]

When last did Klaasen do something ?

 

[TT Boy]

That's the game and Klaasen's stock has gone downhill very quickly.

SA really suck at ODIs, eh? Lost so many limited overs games at home over the last year, and to Asian teams too.

 

[GRAB]

Pretty sure Paterson will be in at 9...

Van der Dussen making it very hard for selectors to keep him out of WC plans.Going to be some big calls at the top of the order for the final squad.Would be criminal if Markram didn’t get another run in ODIs before the squad was finalized imo

Apparently it’s been 4 years since they beat Pakistan in a ODI. Completely gun shy against spin.

Hendricks is playing himself out of contention and de Kock's back next game for Klaasen.

I still don't rate Ashraf, especially as a new ball bowler, but Pakistan's bowling attack is right up there in this format. 3 gems in Ali, Khan and Afridi.

They got demolished by Sharma and Dhawan in the Asia Cup.

 

[smash84]

Yes, and Hasan Ali is over rated.

Pretty decent ODI batsman tbh.

 

[SeamUp]

Lucky's day. Plus it just takes one batsman to bat with the tail (KG can swing, Pato can swing).
