Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[Ahmad Zahir]

PP posters have now started a new habit of bashing Amir for everything that's wrong with the team

 

[Rasimione]

We need people to make big hundreds. Getting out in the 30s and 40s is not good enough. Our batsmen have not been good enough and without AB theres a lack of steel in the middle order. 33/7 is not good enough.

Imagine if Steyn was young right now.

SA bowling attack: Steyn, Philander, Rabada, Ngidi and Olivier. Fearsome fivesome.

Dale is bowling great here, just too good for them to nick.

 

[StephenZA]

Bavuma and de Bruyn showing how not to slip catch....

 

[Stefan9]

Sigh. Terrible catching...

Both Philander and Steyn this morning have almost been to good for these batsmen.... those dropped catches are heartbreak.

KP has got to be up there with the most annoying commentators around. The big, nonsensical, high pitched, giggly tw&t.

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Oliver banging it in should sort these two out

 

[fredfertang]

I do hope that isn't Steyn's Andy Murray moment

 

[Stefan9]

3 drops + a missed stumping is terrible cricket.

 

[Starfighter]

I hope what's been described as happening in Steyn's last over makes the highlights. Sounds itstl.

I watched the lunchtime(?) discussion between the commentators for this 3rd test and Faf.

The argument (that many of them were in support of) that nobody should be fined for slow over rates if the tests finishes early was one of the more ridiculous cricket arguments i have heard in some time. Many fans do not go to every day of a test match. If you go to 1 day of a test match you are paying for 90 overs, end of.

I enjoy though discussions, though usually lol whenever they try to relate to the average cricket fan. None of those guys would have paid to attend a cricket games in years.

 

[SeamUp]

It's been a mess really.

Mickey Mouse from South Africa this morning. 3 dropped catches, one missed stumping and Abbas has seen off the new ball and got a career best to boot. Fancy one or more of Elgar, Markram, Bavuma and de Bruyn will be bowling this afternoon.

 

[Starfighter]

It's amusing to see an attack who all average under 23 struggle to get out a guy with a first class average of 7.

Not really the bowlers' fault though

 

[TT Boy]

This doesn’t reflect well on Elgar the captain.

Doesn't make it any less amusing. Many of us would have better figures if it wasn't for dropped catches.

Someone needs to have a word with Olivier. Far too short.
