[pakrock]

can SA emulate West indies or Pakistan can wrap it up , let see, first hour if Pak could get couple of wickets then all set!!!

 

[lontje]

Bowled him! Hassan Ali what a start

 

[DeadBall]

Hassan gets his bunny Van der DUssen first up.

 

[Line and Length]

Don’t even think that kept low. Just too good for him.

 

[ChTab]

An absolute beauty from Hassan to get rid of Van Dussen, day satrted in balance now advantage to PAKISTAN.

 

[mon858]

Wasn't even that fast. Seemed like a combination of bit of reverse, bit of movement off pitch and bit of batsman leaving gap between bat and pad

 

[Nadeemp]

can i get a takber

 

[Line and Length]

Didn’t think reverse swing would come into play at all in this Test cause of Pindi’s cold weather and a lack of a real square around the pitch. But Hasan’s a real good exponent of it.

 

[Rayyman]

Hasan Ali future legend.



Best fast bowler in the world.

 

[Nadeemp]

Hasan Ali future legend.



Best fast bowler in the world.

thats too much

That's how we roll...

Movement is deadlier than pace. Especially early before a batsman is set, any reverse is quite difficult.

 

[Nadeemp]

Hassan bowling well. I had written him off.

 

[Rayyman]

Cmon Nauman Nana get into this South African middle order

 

[Nadeemp]

Takbeer

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

 

[Rayyman]

Let’s go Hasannn

 

[Rayyman]

thats too much

 

[Nadeemp]

balle balle

 

[ChTab]

Hassan has done it again SA 3 down

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Movement is deadlier than pace. Especially early before a batsman is set, any reverse is quite difficult.

There needs some optimum pace to go with swing. Should be around 132-135kph atleast otherwise Abbas wouldn't have been negotiated that easily in NZ.

 

[Nadeemp]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

why u say that.

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

There is enough reverse swing to makes things happen

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Strange that Babar seems to have lost faith in Yasir in just his second test as captain even though he bowled very well in the last test.

 

[NoBallZombie]

Man Hassan has been such an upgrade over the trundler abbas. And looks absolutely pumped after his return. This is the kind of hunger Amir has always lacked barring a few games.

 

[Line and Length]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

How is this pitch any worse than what you get elsewhere in Asia on Day 5?

 

[ChTab]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

These are pretty good test wickets a thousand times better than the pitches used in UAE or the one Pakistan was laying out before the attack on SL team

 

[NoBallZombie]

Yasir is a great bowler, it is just his knack of one loose ball per over that eases the pressure on the opposition. The need of the hour was to contain the runs as well as the saffers were scoring at a brisk rate.

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

Hasan Ali man of the match....This one will be over soon.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

can i get a takber

Takber!!!! Allah Hu Akbar.

Watch now Markram is gonna come under pressure.

 

[Line and Length]

These are pretty good test wickets a thousand times better than the pitches used in UAE or the one Pakistan was laying out before the attack on SL team

I’d much rather watch a Test on a pitch like this than on the absolute roads they generally make in India, for example.

 

[MenInG]

Hassan Ali on a role!

 

[Ashmal]

Pakistan has to have the worst test pitches in the world.

There's nothing wrong with the pitch

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

They are low and slow and don't break up in winter.

 

[Ab Fan]

Faf is a gritty, resillient and a better pressure test bat unlike Amla and de Villiers.

 

[ChTab]

I’d much rather watch a Test on a pitch like this than on the absolute roads they generally make in India, for example.

Generally Indian pitches now a days aren't that bad either but this Chennai wicket is really awful.

 

[LegendAli]

Good Stuff Hasan, great comeback thus far, massive stuff from the big gun.

 

[Line and Length]

Now that the pressure has been built up, I think Yasir will do a lot better today.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

How was Bavuma managed to play 30+ tests with a batting average of 31 and a solitary hundred. The transformation/quota has destroyed SA cricket. Rossou should have been given a debut ahead of Bavuma in the first place.

 

[MHN1293]

Faf is a gritty, resillient and a better pressure test bat unlike Amla and de Villiers.

He made no contributions this series.

 

[Ab Fan]

Faf is such a wonderful pressure player. The talent of Amla and de Villiers should be bestowed to him.

Unbelievable under pressure situation!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hasan ali off the field.

 

[Line and Length]

Shaheen needs to pick up a few wickets today and bring that average down.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Faf is such a wonderful pressure player. The talent of Amla and de Villiers should be bestowed to him.

Unbelievable under pressure situation!

You do understand he’s out and not coming back this series?

 

[Line and Length]

You do understand he’s out and not coming back this series?

He’s being sarcastic.

 

[Bilal_103]

Why is chacha bowling instead of yasir?

 

[Rayyman]

Why is chacha bowling instead of yasir?

You mean nana

 

[mazkhan]

Yasir needs to come on

Definently need wickets this score can be chased down

 

[ChTab]

Shaheen has bowled pretty good in this series but he is so unlucky.

 

[Bilal_103]

You mean nana

Nana is pushing it lol

 

[Shoaibbtt]

He’s being sarcastic.

Fair enough in that case then

 

[imshally81]

Still no sign of crack...

 

[Bilal_103]

Still no sign of crack...

who is crack?

 

[B_Positive]

SA are not chasing it. 1 more wicket in this session and we will qrap them up in next one.

 

[imshally81]

who is crack?

Pitch..

 

[Shoaibbtt]

SA are not chasing it. 1 more wicket in this session and we will qrap them up in next one.

Bauvma for me is the key wicket

 

[Rayyman]

Bauvma for me is the key wicket

I would say De Kock because he’s their only chance at winning

Bavuma can get a draw for them, but that’s not good enough

 

[Ab Fan]

Bauvma for me is the key wicket

Yeah, very gritty player. Always score gritty runs.

 

[Bigboii]

That's how we roll...

<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 46.250%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/csj8aq" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>

I was having a toough day after the super bowl loss was really sad
but Hasan lifted my spirits

What a beautiful delivery also Mig's hip terminology added cherry on top

 

[Bilal_103]

Yeah, very gritty player. Always score gritty runs.

Bavuma the type of player to make a gritty 30 of 245 balls

 

[Mobashir]

Great early strikes by Hassan Ali.
But I think it's not won yet, it is going to be a tough match it seems.

 

[ethan hunt]

Shaheen should not bowl around the wicket
Not with his current skillset. I can understand what he wants to do but no evidence so far in his career that he can straighten it from that angle.
Wonder why he still keeps doing it with little success.

 

[ethan hunt]

Hassan is one of the best reverse swing bowlers in the world. The way it curls in late is beautiful.
The guy would get a destroy teams with the SG ball.

 

[Bigboii]

Yeah, very gritty player. Always score gritty runs.

After scoring 30 gritty runs at the gritty strike rate of 25 he grittilly walks off after losing all of the tail...

 

[Ab Fan]

Aiden Markram is South Africa's future. He had a bad patch but he has shown great improvement to bat in Asian conditions. Such players are the ones who can do big things for their team.

Give him the captaincy. Markram, dussen and de kock are the ones around which this team should revolve. Let Faf enjoy his retirement, he is anyways not gonna do anything by playing.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

I would say De Kock because he’s their only chance at winning

Bavuma can get a draw for them, but that’s not good enough

With the form De Kock has been in I don’t think so

 

[Shoaibbtt]

After scoring 30 gritty runs at the gritty strike rate of 25 he grittilly walks off after losing all of the tail...

Yep can’t play with the tail

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling well here , Bhavuma will not last long , he is not a big innings player

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaheen is getting good pace going here .

 

[Mobashir]

Pakistan bowling well here , Bhavuma will not last long , he is not a big innings player

Surprisingly he is looking comfortable at the crease today.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Pakistan bowling well here , Bhavuma will not last long , he is not a big innings player

Bowling slow for Yasir to Buvi is key

 

[Bilal_103]

Shaheen needs some wickets

 

[Mobashir]

Shaheen is getting good pace going here .

He has bowled really well all series, but not many wickets to show for him.
I guess it's always going to be harder for a left armer on these tracks.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhavuma gets single of last ball and keeps strike.

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

Surely Pakistan cant choke this? Or can they?

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not support the idea of playing him in all games. If I was a coach I would play him in all tests and 60 % of OD matches , NO 20 20 .

I would rotate the bowlers like this and keep them fresh

 

[Justcrazy]

Surely Pakistan cant choke this? Or can they?

Pakistan have exactly 200 runs here to defend ! its not a joke to get those runs here against two quality spinners.

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan will win this comfortably. What a sensational knock from Rizwan!

 

[sindhiboy]

Markram has been sensational
