Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[trundler]

He's looked shaky but hope this is a return to form.

 

[Burner]

Nice that De Kock has relearned how to hold a bat. He's a great player to watch.

 

[trundler]

Well apparently it isn't too hard to call a no ball if you actually ****ing look.

get it wrong and you get the issue that happened in the WI vs BAN game

Damned if you, damned if you don't. Expecting perfection from humans is foolish. I can understand why umpires err on the side of not calling when the cameras are around.

Even game here. Pak just need to bat well, get 250, and they're in this.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Deserved that. Amir has been excellent.

 

[Gomez656]

I think first time Pakistan probably folded Southsfrica in SA under 225 runs

Impress with Afridi and Amir but Hasan gone too many 70 off 14.Yasir and Maharaj toothless

 

[Gomez656]

250 ? Nah Rabada wants 5fer all depends how Azhar batted he will be key

My good luck to rabada(48) who need to take maximum wickets to beat Lyon (49) and Dilruwan (50) for leading wicket taker for 2018

Virat (1322) and K.Mendis (956) #1 and # 2 in batting in test

Would like if Adcock, Heine and Procter and PP get a shout out...

Considering modern SA pretends apartheid era SA cricket doesn't exist that seems like a vain hope. It would be nice to show the new generation the old guys.

They did.

Adock
Heine
P.Pollock
Procter
Le Roux (Mark Nicholas)
Van der Bijl (Mark Nicholas)
Donald
Schultz (Mark Nicholas)
S.Pollock
Ntini
Steyn
Rabada

All got mentions

Would have given Fanie & Philander. Even some Morkel some air time.

But great to hear Doc with some of his thoughts back in the day. Pity it wasn't for longer. Spoke of the fear Heine/Adcock put in opposition batsman. Adcock was the quickest he faced.

 

[trundler]

Most informative and excellent feature that was. Was great to hear comparisons to old greats too. Ali Bacher reckons he's the greatest SA pacer ever and I'm no one to doubt that. Was great to hear about Proctor, Adcock, Heine and Peter Pollock as well. The Steyn Macko comparison is very interesting. 10/10 Supersport

 

[SeamUp]

I'm surprised Pakistan haven't grassed any catches in the slips

We are.

Amla with a regulation catch dropped. Confidence or eyes gone ?

 

[Stefan9]

That is just terrible from amla.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Quality spell by Steyn so far. Unlucky not to get a wicket.

 

[trundler]

Who was given a second life by Amla? Missed that.

 

[StephenZA]

Amla with a regulation catch dropped. Confidence or eyes gone ?

Amlas confidence is shot I think, he has never been the same since he got the captaincy, way back when. Don't know why it affected him so much, but obviously did. Struggling with batting and keeps making mistakes and getting out in silly ways. I really don't know what to do because I really don't think we can afford to drop his experience with our current batting woes.

 

[trundler]

I really want Fakhar to blaze some here but I know it's unlikely. Too late for a Christmas miracle?

 

[SeamUp]

Imam off Steyn.
