What's new

Pakistan bowled out for 294, stretch match into Day 4, set South Africa target of 41 to win 2nd Test

If you can't defend the short ball just go for it, the team is 7 down and still trailing.

Asia Cup was a selection blunder through and through.

Yes it was one of the issues as it was in Srl and NZ tests but Captain and coach both have a role in selection as well.

His captaincy against Bd and when they were 11/3 was also very questionable. He just doesnt have the tactics to create pressure and to keep pressure in most occasions.

But, more than anything I dont think players are perfroming upto their best under him.

It looked stone dead in real time. It is not like it was shaving the stumps more than 50% of hitting the stumps.

Yes. It's always somebody else's fault. Give me a break yar. CT win is his credit but rest of failures is not. Yeah cool.
 
Faheem and Shadab should have been there from the first match
 
Lol wait. Didn't Amir bounce Steyn and hit him on the helmet? Steyn shortly after got dismissed off another short ball. What is all this crying about?
 
This is tough. But players have to wear it out. Pujara took countless blows on his fingers in this series.
 
This is some vile stuff by SA

Would sincerely love for them to choke in the WC against us
 
Vabar always end up with the tail, story for whole year now. We are wasting Babar with tail, need to bat up the order soon.

👹👹👹
 
Why Ian babar taking a single of the first ball?

Yasir shah batting has really regressed that he is practically a number 11
 
I think someone needs to send a message to Babar from the dugout that he needs to protect the other side.
Yasir is useless..
 
Babar again takes single in first ball, what a champion batsman.

The delivery met all the criteria for an LBW and the umpire made a good correct decision.

Lol lets not exaggerate it was hitting the bails.
 
Looking forward to Amir taking revenge from these bowlers with his 130 kph bouncers.
 
I swear, I am going to reach into the TV and shake Babar.

“Don’t take singles off the first ball!”

We're talking about Asia Cup alone and selection blunder is on coach and captain. Yeah, cool?

You want innings defeat I guess... T20 players won’t win you test matches

They were cruicial in the win against Eng in first match. They are not match winners in tests at the moment but provide bit more batting depth and 5th bolwing option.

5th bowling option also alows the main bolwers to rest.

Should be last test series of Sarfraz as captain.

No, should be last Test as player; and should be last ODI as player as well.

I give you a list - Mushtaq, Asif, Imran, Imran, Imran, Wasim, Waquar, Inzi, Afridi, Misbah - PAK doesn't deserve Sarfraz in that list; it’s an insult.
 
People criticizing speed of our bowlers need to know when 3 fast bowlers bowl 25+overs they ll wear out our batsmen getting out under 50 overs makes SA bowlers like a million buncks.
 
If there was ever an indication why Babar is anything but a leader all you have to see is how he's turned his back on farming the strike. He has literally taken singles off the first ball in consecutive overs.

Need to look for solid first class batsmen bowlers first then the allrounder. We are quick to jump on getting an allrounder in team before having a solid openers or middle order🤦🏽*♂️
 
Babar once again playing for his average. Exposing the tail, regularly taking singles off the 1st or 2nd ball. Am I the only one ripping my hair out because of this. Great talent but so selfish.

Some of the shots that Fakhar has played so far in Test cricket are simply atrocious. Even by the standards of a newbie, it's still atrocious. I'll be honest, I expected great things from him after the CT Final. And that was not the only one, he played good ODI innings even after that. I even advocated on PP for for him to be handed the Test captaincy stripping it off from Sarfaraz.

His temperament in Test cricket so far has reminded me of Yuvraj Singh.

I'd say it's far worse than Yuvraj right now as he is just completely out of sorts.

You said technology supported the decision.

Umpires call does only that, support the umpires decision.

It’s not an accurate assessment at all.
Click to expand...

Umpires call is an ICC introduced factor, it has nothing to do with the technology. The technology stated the ball would've hit the stumps (well within its margin of error) and that the decision was correct. All the whining and crying of biased umpiring in relation to the umpire giving an LBW that would've gone on to hit the stumps out is both ridiculous and hilarious.
