Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[StephenZA]

Would be very well deserved if they get there....

 

[StephenZA]

Nah... not gonna happen. Well bowled that.

 

[StephenZA]

Olivier looks so good when he pitches it up.

Pakistan must be sick of Olivier by now.

I was hoping Steyn would pick up a nice bag, but it seems there won't be enough left over for him by the time Olivier's done.

Oliver's face is so strange. His mouth looks disproportionately large and it creeps me out.

Are the batsmen watching him rather than the ball? Getting freaked out maybe?

 

[OverratedSanity]

He looks like one of those things from Attack on Titan.

Love surprises. 8 wickets in 41 tests at 17.80

Now 1 away from equalling SA record of 25 wickets in a 3-test series set by Charlie Lllewelyn in 1902

 

[StephenZA]

Class catch that....

For a guy with such a good average you might think he'd bowl more often.

I think if he bowled more this series Pakistan would be having nightmares for even longer after this tour.

KG could do with a break. Would let him put his feet up first two ODIs if I had it my way.

*grumbles something about you missing the joke* re-read your initial comment, it's an easy enough mistake but quite funny.

Be easier if Ngidi was fit for 'reasons that are better undiscussed'. Any chance of Olivier playing in the ODIs?

Oh man can you believe it.

Trying to work, watch a stream and comment on cricket web. Need to get back into multi-tasking again ! Warming up.

True. Only really Phehlukwayo to take the load off him in squad.

I read an article where Otis said Olivier and Nortje are not out of the WC equation. Same for Morris.

Difficult to fit bowlers into the squad? Need lower order batting not bowlers. What about Dala? Prefer him to Paterson anyway.

We seem like we going another route and looking for best bowlers which I'm all for because I don't think the 'all-round' options have stood up to be counted.

So Miller/Klaasen 6/7 is a possibility.

Who's 5th bowler? I still don't want Klaasens and Miller in same team particular if we going to be light on batting.

That's the issue we have created with the 5th bowler so it's last WC all over again. Faf mentioned Markram but with him and Duminy out I have absolutely no idea. They probably can't go the 7/4 split this series coming because Pretorius is there but I don't think that means much.

Klaasen will probably get a few overs in this series too.
