@FearlessRoar where is the Ladies Test thread - i cannot find it

 

[khyberlion]

No harm in giving Usman a go instead of Abdullah for the last game. This will be the last of Abdullah we see for a while. Needs to get back to domestic and work on his flaws.
Saim a s Shan should open in the test series with Babar at 3.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

3 sixes from Kaptaana today. His ability to explode and play to the situation is always on point.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

SA won't cross 250. This is a very difficult pitch to bat on and only the platform given by RizBar allowed KG to come in and take advantage. Excellent team work.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Shaheen looking dangerous already. Bavuma is such an eyesore. Worst batting technique I have seen of late.

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa's chase will answer a lot of questions one way or the other.

Under lights it is harder to chase. They have conceded 50 runs too many.

 

[followed]

This is a very experienced batting line-up of south africa.

 

[jamie smith]

pak is atleast 30 runs short

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is unbelievable. There is a shade exactly crossing where the batsman stands. Quiet a view.

 

[Farabi]

In last 10 ODIs played here, the highest successful chase is 283 by SA vs India.

If Pak fails to defend this total, bowlers should die in shame

yup! Some people are sharpening their knives on Rizbabar strike rate, but if this is chased down, it’s on the bowlers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan LOI bowling is a better equipped to shut down SA. SA bowling relies on help from surface. If not there they can be whacked around.

 

[Rana]

Why did SA drop Stubbs?

 

[jamie smith]

sa will chase this is about 46 overs. this is a featherbed a track

 

[jnaveen1980]

I like Bavuma as a person. But what is he doing in a ODI set up? You need clean hitters in power play.

 

[khyberlion]

Why did SA drop Stubbs?

No idea. He's an excellent talent and should be playing every game for them.

 

[jamie smith]

Why did SA drop Stubbs?

couldve been a handful. shouldve been selected instead of phelu

 

[Rana]

DeZorzi di Gayle

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why did SA drop Stubbs?

They are rotating players. But not sure why they do that. He has played only 8 ODIs. With CT coming up you would want to focus team gelling

 

[followed]

Shaheen is bowling at good pace. Good to see.

 

[mominsaigol]

DeZorzi di Gayle

I was gonna say he looks like a younger gayle lol

 

[Rana]

Not looking fluent here De Zorzi

 

[jamie smith]

oh forgot about quota system.quite pathetic

 

[followed]

Even though pitch is a road but Pakistan should not let them near the target

259 is the highest run scored chased here.

 

[jamie smith]

quota players lolll

Not looking fluent here De Zorzi

[Mamoon]

Shaun pollock don't know anything about cricket

But you said Pakistan will have a below par total because the lower order won’t capitalize?

 

[Mamoon]

You know this is a road when salman and kg are smashing boundries for fun while @Mamoon making it out to be a difficult pitch where rizwan and babar actually done something when infact they just ate all the balls

Those two provided the platform for the lower order after Pakistan lost early wickets. As I said, I can’t blame you as you don’t know anything about cricket.

 

[FearlessRoar]

@FearlessRoar where is the Ladies Test thread - i cannot find it

we are using this for all kind of women's cricket (except pakistan)

Women's cricket - Do you care?

Athapathu is doing well too. 44-1 : 6 Yes she's the key wicket. Was crucial in the semi-finals as well.

for pakistan women's cricket we are using this

Pitch is a road

pak is capable of doing the impossible

De zorsi will be lbw soon

 

[followed]

Haris will for plenty here

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Haris will for plenty here

He's going for a century

 

[Rana]

Bruv you don’t take on Niazi for 2

 

[castortroy]

Rauf definitely going for 70 ot 80 minimum

 

[boomboomcheema]

No demons in the pitch so far, need wickets. Even Bavuma is not being dismissed..

 

[angrypathan]

Bavuma averages 45 in ODIs and has more centuries than 50s.

 

[Rana]

Bavuma has no clue Niazi is in the field

 

[castortroy]

If pak can score 329 then it's going to be a supreme batting track.

SA have got some serious firepower

They should chase this unless the spinners can do something

 

[Human786]

Who spends more on hair styling - Shaheen or Naseem ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Must be disconcerting to face deliveries frome shade.

 

[Human786]

34/1

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Rauf should have held on to that a bit longer

 

[Human786]

34/1

Why has PP not felicitated the fastest gun yet @MenInG @FearlessRoar @Asad T ???

 

[batandballbattle]

getting bavuma early could actually be a bad move...

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor ball from Shaheen with fine leg up. Absolutely dumb

 

[Rana]

getting bavuma early could actually be a bad move...

Na he is a good player of spin

 

[castortroy]

Afridi definitely going to the next hassan ali

 

[Rana]

Mate what are these guys doing with Niazi??

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy looks like Andrew symonds.

 

[Rana]

Absolute buffoonery

Take 2 on anyone but not Niazi

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is well behind the rate.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Win Probability: SA 42.02% • PAK 57.98%

 

[Rana]

SA is well behind the rate.

They are marching 6

It’s fine for now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RVD

1st 40 matches batting average : 69.75

Last 27 matches batting average : 29.28

Almost 36 years old. Saffers need a replacement

 

[Xoib]

Watching them bowl in tandem glad Naseem and Shaheen are not playing test series hopefully Khurram and Hamza will be an upgrade on these two

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are marching 6

It’s fine for now

They gotta be like 80 or something by 10 overs to make a match of it

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Come to Think of it , This RSA side despite going through Generational Transition has done good lately. Had really good CwC only to be stopped by Peaking aussies in Semi , Almost won t20 wc this year and now look set to play Test Championship Final

RVD is a fit guy. But reflexes are not the same.

 

[Rana]

They have the firepower to do it.

WC2023 had QDK.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Win Probability: SA 42.02% • PAK 57.98%

330 has never been scored at this venue batting second.

Zero chance of Saffer win.

 

[castortroy]

Awful keeping

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only real bad bowling, real bad field placing can win the match for SA

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RVD is a fit guy. But reflexes are not the same.

Looks like it. Clear decline since Feb 2023

 

[jnaveen1980]

These fitness merchants (ahem Kohli) working out in gym won't improve your reflexes

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the runs

 

[Rana]

Great review

 

[neonoir]

Stupid review

 

[Xoib]

These fitness merchants (ahem Kohli) working out in gym won't improve your reflexes

Batsman don’t require these hardcore fitness regime as it’s mainly an eyesight and reflexes game just keep the weight undercontrol so that footwork is not disturbed and you fit to go

 

[Ahmed216]

Wickets in hand will be key for SA like it was for Pak.

This has makings of a cracker.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan need wickets, SA clearing the runway for Miller & Klassen

 

[Rana]

De Zorzi won’t survive Abrar I recon

 

[Champ_Pal]

Abrar ka Dabrar has been a thorn in SA backside right through this tour.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar what a waste 🗑 delivery

 

[angrypathan]

Bakwas delivery

 

[stani_pak]

This can get Ugly for Pak, if Van der dussen gets going

 

[Champ_Pal]

De Zorzi won’t survive Abrar I recon

SA struggled massively against Varun Charkravarthy too who is very similar to Abrar.
