10fer by Hassan Ali helps Pakistan to a 95-run win over SA in 2nd Test; Pakistan win series 2-0

[Line and Length]

Can we just say that Pakistan create brilliant cricket pitches. Really good cricket pitches. Everyone has been in play this series. Batsmen, pacers and spinners

Exactly. Our fans have done nothing but complain and moan about the pitches (which have been fine), the quality of cricket (which has been fine), and just about anything they can think about. It’s been an enjoyable series, with some huge positives like Hasan’s form, our ground fielding and catching, Fawad’s 100. But no, we cannot rest without complaining about anything and everything.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rabada gone too right through him

4 for Shaheen

 

[Titan24]

When was the last time our opening pair just ran through a side like this with the new ball?

Definitely not upto this extent for sometime but Shaheen and Naseem were decent against Srl and BD at home. Home conditions definitely help as I have been saying for sometime when a question is asked why our pacer couldnt take 200 in a long time.

 

[Mir jibran]

Shaheeen

 

[uberkoen]

Ok mate your at work congratulations you must feel so good about yourself. And what makes you think I’m at school? Is it because someone responded back to you after you had a dig at them and it hurts your little ego?

Let it go son. Just enjoy the game. Not sure what you're getting so worked up about but learn to relax

 

[Greenstorm]

Lala in AAAGGG mode.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

God, Afridi might become the bowler of this decade.

 

[Amjid Javed]

His entire life is a fluke Him being a Pakistani was a fluke he said if partition didn’t happen he would have been Indian or even better if the British didn’t leave he would have preferred to have a red passport. He ain’t gonna say much except write an essay about this time South Africa are just clueless and even Zimbabwe would beat them. And regarding Hassan Ali he will be like hasn’t done anything special he has tampered with the ball South Africa have thrown their wickets away.

POTW nomination right here.

 

[imshally81]

Yessss... Only 1 wicket remaining

 

[JibranAnsari]

clean bowled woohooooo

 

[Rafa]

Convincing victory in the end.

 

[Titan24]

Time for Shaheen to get a fifer as well. Well deserved, has bowled really well in this match with some serious heat without much result.

 

[Nado_]

Good aggression from Shaheen

 

[Hawkeye]

Massive victory this series.

Did you notice?

After Mickey Arthur humiliated us at our home, Misbah has started making us unbeatable again!!

At home!

We're back.

 

[Line and Length]

Nortje can’t bat. This should be a fifer for Shaheena InshAllah.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

A convincing series win to savour. Congratulations Pakistan.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So happy. Wonderful bowling and class fighting spirit.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Would be great if both the bowlers get five wicket haul.

 

[IAJ]

If Shaheen can learn to bring in that ball, he will be totally unplayable at this pace

 

[Titan24]

God, Afridi might become the bowler of this decade.

Hopefully his fitness remains good. Having an ex test pacer who was an outstanding FC pacer as well as older brother should definitely be a help in this regard to keep on reminding him how important it is to keep that fitness going.

 

[Nado_]

Let it go son. Just enjoy the game. Not sure what you're getting so worked up about but learn to relax

You let it go my son, not getting worked up at all but sometimes people like you need to be told what’s what. Think you can say whatever you want and not expect a response.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Down to Hasan to knock Nortje over

 

[Ahmed216]

My God our pacers have bowled like lions on such a flat pitch

 

[uberkoen]

You let it go my son, not getting worked up at all but sometimes people like you need to be told what’s what. Think you can say whatever you want and not expect a response.

Okay little one. Whatever makes you happy my boy

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They've gone to Yasir lol

 

[Greenstorm]

Shaheen seems to have listened to Shoaib akhtar.

 

[Manunited18]

Pakistan fans are so impatient, hour ago a poster was calling Afridi a garbage bowler! Lol.

 

[silentkiller187]

If i am not wrong hassan became a father around 2 months ago
So the celebration was for his own baby

congrats too him, good 10 fer to celebrate then

 

[Nado_]

Okay little one. Whatever makes you happy my boy

Why you getting worked up puthar, now go hide under your desk.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Hopefully his fitness remains good. Having an ex test pacer who was an outstanding FC pacer as well as older brother should definitely be a help in this regard to keep on reminding him how important it is to keep that fitness going.

Well said.

He has this Di Maria / Stuart Broad physique.


Insha'Allah he won't suffer any injury.

 

[PakPremi]

Good effort by Babar in field even though Pak only a wicket away. He captained well in both tests and today he never wilted or showed sign of any pressure when Markram was going well with Bavuma, despite no assistance from pitch.

 

[MHN1293]

Good tactic bring yasir to bowl a few overs or else hasan would have stolen shaheens fivefer

 

[Titan24]

If Shaheen can learn to bring in that ball, he will be totally unplayable at this pace

He brings that ball in as well as we can see in the last few series and even in this match vs Elgar when he moved it away. Sometimes it just doesn’t move as much as he likes and need to work on tye overall control as well. In this innings he did pretty well with the ball straightening away.

 

[uberkoen]

Our spinners getting no wickets in 43 overs in the fourth innings is concerning.

 

[silentkiller187]

game set match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

All over

Pakistan win

 

[Greenstorm]

Yesss !

Lala missed his panja.

 

[imshally81]

[Adil_94]

Yes what a win by Pakistan.

 

[Mean&Green]

Imran butt needs to stay in this team just on the basis extremely amazing slip fielding i haven’t seen a slip fielder like that in recent times those catches of markram and de kock were crucial

 

[Titan24]

Outstanding stuff from Hassan and Shaheen, taking 9 wickets between them in this innings and 15 in the match. The very thing I wanted in Rawalpindi to have out pacers back and performing while us winning.

 

[Shafi]

Congratulation!!!! We need to get rid of Abid And I Butt in order to make our opening more strong.

 

[Adil_94]

Hasan n Shaheen top class with the 2nd new ball. Showed some guts n mettle. Seeing Pak pacers get 9 wkts in an innings. Different maza

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Whitewash!!!!

BrownWash....

 

[silentkiller187]

How did younis Khan end up with a stump

 

[uberkoen]

What a choke by South Africa 7 wickets lost for 33 runs.

Never in doubt though!

 

[guldozer]

Well 250 lead was not enough.

Goid win against a below average South Africa team.

 

[uberkoen]

BrownWash....

..No, that's not how it works man and that's racist.

 

[ethan hunt]

Beautiful fast bowling

 

[Rana]

If only it was a 3 match series

[Mean&Green]

Lol Sarfaraz in the background what a sad life

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If only it was a 3 match series

Exactly

 

[Rana]

[Deewana Mastana]

How did younis Khan end up with a stump

He snatched it from Misbah who stole it from Rizwan

 

[Belawal2014]

What a choke by South Africa 7 wickets lost for 33 runs.

Never in doubt though!

 

[PakPremi]

This is a slap to all those who kept saying Pak missed nothing by not playing home, and this without home crowd support.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done pakistan on a 2-0 Win.
