Pakistan collapse to 190 all out at stumps on Day 2, set South Africa target of 149 to win

[Titan24]

I remeber shan scoring a match winning 100 against SRL. After that he didnt do much.

But, the guy looks to be playing another knock of note. He is a good captaincy material as well in the long run if he remains performing.

 

[a_tahir]

Imam ul Haq as vice.

Shan is the better p*rchi player imo

 

[maanleo]

well done Shan Masood, hard work can do wonders.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need another 160

 

[Asif321]

Shaan 50
Asad out reviewed

 

[castortroy]

Did say he is a prime LBW candidate

 

[Markhor]

If Shan scores a hundred here all is forgiven.

 

[Asif321]

Stupid decision no it’s no way out

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well played Shan, needs to go on here though.

Only half the job done.

 

[castortroy]

Lucky Asad

 

[QalandarFan]

Asad of course gone, before getting 10

 

[srh]

How come Imam and Shan succeed? As per PPers logic both of them were bad players so what happened?

 

[mak36]

Bruce is a cheat

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Asad Choker, the most worthless batsmen ever in Test cricket. What a waste.

 

[Asif321]

Yes exactly not out . Stupid umpiring

 

[DRsohail]

Remind me how many Asian teams have won in SA?

And what blunders? I have been on PP since as a lurker and member since 2004 when Oxy ran it- one thing that has never changed is Pakistani fans are convinced that whoever is not in the team is better than players in it.

Inzi is the best selector weve had for many years, and Arthur the best coach.

I W you have not forgotten recent NZ test series and asiatico embrrassment.

 

[Rana]

Oxenford strikes again. Umpires call

 

[IMMY69]

Ridiculous decision again

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Bruce is a cheat

He is doing it deliberately.

But i wonder why?

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh missing! Bruce Oxenford once AGAIN!

 

[Fahdi]

That looked not out to the naked eye.

 

[IAJ]

This stupid umpire is trying his best to give free wickets to SA

 

[castortroy]

Omg what a pathetic shot

 

[aukhan]

Asad

 

[Mueez]

Bachgayaaa!

 

[wasimjunior]

Good knock from Asad Shafiq.

 

[Asif321]

Hahahahaha what the he’ll Asad

 

[castortroy]

That's what you call a mental midget

 

[wasimjunior]

Terrible player and seems to be consistently protected by the media

 

[Asif321]

Tht is such poor shot . Total stupidity

 

[Mueez]

Oh never mind, out next ball

 

[Rana]

This umpire is clearly out to get Pakistan. Doesnt change the fact that Shafiq is pathetic!

 

[QalandarFan]

He is doing it deliberately.

But i wonder why?

There is no way that every tight call he os making is going against Pakistan. And there goes Asad again! ) Please drop this guy next match!

 

[IAJ]

what an idiot! at least he didn't spoil a review

 

[shah_1]

Mental midget

 

[castortroy]

Game over pak.

 

[MMHS]

Ironically Shan has better list A stats so could be issues for Pak considering they do not want to drop Fakhar/Imam in ODI's.

But Shan is batting on the offstump exposing his leg stump. A bit like S Smith. A smart bowler could work him out.

They say, above all nothing better than a batsman being in form. It's a game of instincts, touch & a bit of luck as well. Same batsman scores 2000 runs a year, then very next year struggles to reach half - not that he suddenly has forgotten batting.

From the A tours, I was actually telling that he is in brilliant touch, PAK should cash on his contemporary form. My hunch is, if picked for ODIs, he'll do well there as well. And, he is extremely fit, athletic, and at right age for 4-5 years peak - a better prospect for ODI probably.

 

[IMMY69]

That should be it for Asad.

 

[Asif321]

Yaaar wth

 

[Dulex9]

Given not out lbw previous ball and next ball he throws the ball at it and out.

Pakistan in some trouble but another 170 runs will be enough.

 

[Kroll]

Yay! Asad's technique saves him.

 

[hadi123]

Shafiq! What were you thinking?

 

[mak36]

He is doing it deliberately.

But i wonder why?

It genuinely seems intentional.

IIRC he is a good umpire otherwise.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Glorious knock under pressure from Asad one again.

Always fails under pressure.

Last batting pair now for pakistan.

 

[Saurav]

How is this guy batting ahead of Babar?

 

[Kroll]

Oops, lol

 

[shariqnoor]

Azhar and Asad are your "seniors".

 

[IAJ]

Mickey needs to yell some gloses to this joker of a batsman, so irritatting!

 

[Mueez]

Did anybody see that a SA player was giving a high five to Bruce?

 

[JibranAnsari]

how long will pakistan continue with this failure?

 

[Rana]

Shafiq and Azhar have been worthless in this innings. So much for experience!

 

[Asif321]

Our last hope pair . Can they get a 80 run stand

 

[QalandarFan]

Don’t worry he will score a face saving 50 in the last test match and secure his place for the next series as he always does.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Given not out lbw previous ball and next ball he throws the ball at it and out.

Pakistan in some trouble but another 170 runs will be enough.

170? We are down to last batting pair now!

 

[castortroy]

Unless these two make a 100 partnership this game is all over

Sarfraz is a walking wicket and the tail will
Be bounced out

 

[Markhor]

Two pathetic dismissals from our senior batsmen.

 

[Asif321]

Nothing. Ball nothing shot stupid Shafiq

 

[Fahdi]

Somebody slap this idiot Shafiq

 

[IAJ]

And I am afraid Babar bhai already has done his bit in first innings

 

[Kroll]

Shafiq's bottled it again. Hope he gets booted out now.

 

[IMMY69]

Getting out to a ball that bounces and seams or swings is fine because it means our bowlers are in the game...But to a wide short delivery is just unacceptable.

Shafiq should be dropped and told to make runs in FC to stand any chance of a come back

 

[Madplayer]

And I am afraid Babar bhai already has done his bit in first innings

Me too

 

[IAJ]

we are effectively 93/4, not good at all.

 

[Rana]

That does it really. Shafiq for Harris, straight swap

 

[Titan24]

Azhar and Asad as usual not performing when required most.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful. Asad must be dropped now.

 

[aukhan]

Terrible player and seems to be consistently protected by the media

and captains as well.

 

[castortroy]

Asad and shafiq dismissals are disgraceful

 

[IMMY69]

93 for 4 means South Africa are massive favourites now

 

[QalandarFan]

My ranking of our tail from best to worst

1. Hasan Ali
2. Sarfraz Ahmed
3. Mohammad Amir
4. Hasan Ali
5. Yasir Shah
6. Shaheen Shah Afridi
7. Asad Shafiq

 

[MMHS]

Every 30+ batsmen should be kicked out!!!!! 10 years of investment and both guys fail when one 50 from any of them could have won this Test. Styen is bowling his 12th over today, after yesterdays work out - this was probably his last spell of the day.

 

[Speedster1]

I thought I was seeing things bro! You saw it as well!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Another 100 to have a chance

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Shafiq should be shown his auqat in FC before playing for the Test team ever again.
Drop Asad for Faheem. I'm serious.

 

[Titan24]

Atleast one of these needs to score a century. Ideally Babar 50+ and Shan 100+

 

[castortroy]

Need to some how claw to a 200 lead but looks very very unlikely

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan have only themselves to blame for once again throwing a game away that they should have been bossing.

 

[IMMY69]

I would say another 150 to make it competitive,

Wicket is playing really well now.

 

[shariqnoor]

Imam, Fakhar and Masood negotiated the first 30 overs for Azhar and Asad and these two couldn't even capitalize on that freebie. Don't know when will the management and selectors develop the guts to drop at least one of them?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asad really did well to edge that though )
