Pakistan end Day 1 of the 1st Test on 33/4 after bowling out South Africa for 220

[Deewana Mastana]

They're still too deep in the slips

 

[azimiqbal]

What I don’t understand is you can see there is no bounce in the pitch , why don’t the slips come forward ?

 

[Belawal2014]

Run of the mill "runs in very hard, gives his 100%" stuff on commentary from Wasim.

 

[shah_1]

This is a UAE pitch

 

[Nadeemp]

hasan ali bowling ABSOLUTE trash

 

[azimiqbal]

Shaheen should try bowl a leg stump Yorker to Elgar , he is taking a off stump guard

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Plenty of swing available here with the new ball.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What I don’t understand is you can see there is no bounce in the pitch , why don’t the slips come forward ?

You expect them to have common sense ?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Good to see test cricket return to Pakistan. May it long continue.

 

[azimiqbal]

You expect them to have common sense ?

You would hope so lol

 

[Kaddy]

I have a feeling that Hasan Ali will be more useful with the older ball.

 

[Mesozoic]

Absolute trash bowling this.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

4

 

[RyanRyan10]

Justice for Saud Shakeel?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

What brand is the ball?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Another 4. Hassan seems to be anxious, had much tighter control on his lines and lengths just a week ago

 

[Ellipsism]

Hassan bowling some utter garbage. Middle-leg every ball

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Who is this Nauman Ali, debuting Test cricket at 34.5 years age? I hope he is good.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 up i wasn't that far off with my prediction

 

[King_Kohli]

Absolute trash bowling this.

where u watching?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

SA going at 5 an over. We’ve already lost this match.

 

[Mesozoic]

Hassan Ali has not been the same bowler since he did that unnecessary drama at the Wagah and got a hiding of a lifetime from Shikhar and Rohit the next month.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Who is this Nauman Ali, debuting Test cricket at 34.5 years age? I hope he is good.

Real age 38

 

[Mesozoic]

where u watching?

Sky sports cricket.

 

[sharmaji]

Can't watch the match in India. What a shame.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SA going at 5 an over. We’ve already lost this match.

I see what you done there

 

[Colorblind Genius]

SA going at 5 an over. We’ve already lost this match.

lol dude, it’s not even lunch on day one!

 

[Darkrai]

I'm going to bed in 10 min....i wonder what I'll see when i wake up in few hours...scary thought at the moment

 

[shady]

Agree. You can see he's searching for the wicket taking ball instead of just constructing a good over & presenting some challenges for the batsmans patience/judgement/technique. A bit low on confidence I think so he's not trusting the process, trying to overdo it.

Not sure why he would be low on confidence given the domestic season he's had. Hopefully it's just nerves and he settles in during his second spell.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This is why we ranked no.7. We made a road pitch and expecting our team to become a good team.

This is why India is the most successful team right now, pitches they make are supporting pitches.

Pakistan may fall into their own trap, if spinners don’t do anything today.

Are you in UK?

I am watching on youtube by connecting vpn

 

[Ozymandiasza]

What brand is the ball?

The Internet seems to suggest Kookaburra... I thought you guys played SG as well?

 

[mastermind_quad]

Due to pandemic I am on WFH .. I Would have watched it live but its not coming. No issue will follow here and on cricinfo.

I am trying that but can't find the proper link to click. I can only see random dudes claiming to be live but they aren't. Any suggestions, thanks.

 

[shah_1]

Hasan Ali is a good example of the standard of the domestic cricket. He was the best fast bowler in QEA, looks like gully Mohala bowler right now

 

[shah_1]

Kookaburra

 

[susantcbnu]

I know the sample size is small, but still MarkRam's batting average of 10.77 in 5 tests in Asia has to be one of the worst for any opening batsman ever.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Kookaburra

Thank you.

 

[imshally81]

Feel for Saud & Sajid..

 

[globalcitizen]

Pakistan had the best opportunity to advertise this series by providing a sporting wicket. They have fluffed it already. Yes it might have ended up losing the match but that’s the best advertisement after years of no cricket in home ground , teams scoring 500 and putting other team under pressure is so boring these days

I am just loving that Pakistan is regularly hosting cricket again. Need more series in Pakistan!

Who’s the official broadcaster on YouTube?

 

[Mesozoic]

Another chacha on the blocks.

How is he 34?

Well atleast he's better than 28 year old youngsta beauty Shami...

 

[Energy]

Still cannot understand why Sajid was not preferred. Spin will play a role on this wicket.

I've done that. Bit live where on YT, an official PCB sit, or a random links? What do I need to type in the search bar?

 

[Nadeemp]

can you post live links here?
He is more than 34.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Chill mar bhai, he is just making a comeback give him a day to settle. Its not we have prepared a green top here he can run through this line up, this is SA not Bang or Srl.

Pitch is tailored made for Spinners.

 

[Energy]

Misbah's fascination with uncles is getting boring now. Need 40+ year olds please, not 34.

Nope india is the only team that plays SG, the rest play Kookaburra with the exception of WI and Eng that use Dukes

 

[King_Kohli]

pcb

 

[imshally81]

Noman Ali is look alike of Zulfiqar babar

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Misbah didn’t select him. It wa Mhd Wasim, don’t understand the fuss with age, if he can win you the match then what’s in the age.

Nauman bowled a good first over

 

[RyanRyan10]

They also have 36 yo pacer Tabish Khan in their squad

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Kookaburra is used because it bring spins into play.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

He wont play.

 

[wrongun]

Not sure why he would be low on confidence given the domestic season he's had. Hopefully it's just nerves and he settles in during his second spell.

Because he's been dropped from Tests until now & suddenly he's playing in a home Test. Perhaps nerves /pressure/desperation is a better word than low on confidence.

 

[Swashbuckler]

VPN
Channel name is Pakistan Cricket.

 

[King_Kohli]

I missed Hasan Ali bowling.
when he will bowl again? want to see his action.

 

[Bigboii]

It's a second spinner and will only play in Asia that too tests who cares about his age
Use and abuse!

Just kick him out at the slightest signs of decline

Wonderful. Had to use a European VPN though, US doesn't work.

Thanks again King Kohli!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Big score coming.

 

[imshally81]

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Bazid hitting the nail on the head day 2 & 3 being best for batting. Plan is bowl out most of SA today.

 

[Ahmed216]

Our cricketers the likes of hassan Ali are so ordinary. Every game seems to be their first. No confidence whatsoever

 

[King_Kohli]

Any comments on nauman Aliz bowling..?

Left arm Saqlain.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Any comments on nauman Aliz bowling..?

I feel he’s more in the mold of Abdur Rehman SLA spinner who bowled alongside Saeed Ajmal.

He will be a good container for Yasir.

 

[Mesozoic]

What a gift!

 

[160KPH]

Feels great seeing cricket in Pakistan

 

[ChTab]

Fabolous work from Rizwan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rubbish cricket by Saffers

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Well 2 gifts so far on this road pitch.

 

[angrypathan]

Well 2 gifts so far on this road pitch.

First wicket wasn't a gift

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

South Africa in a LOI mood today.

 

[B_Positive]

just need to get one of these to open the gates. these two are most solid ones in this lineup

 

[imshally81]

Slips and keeper are standing in little deep.. Should slightly come
