Linde seems more threatening than Maharaj
Hasan Ali woild be the key
Quick 30 to 40 would really be game changing
Azhar Ali has scored more difficult runs than Babar since Babar's debut despite not being in form
missing the fluency of younis khan here , he would submit these spinners to death.
Why is Duplessi not captain, he looks more clued up character than DeKoek.

Ngidi and Rabada just havent bowled fast enough for reverse swing fo work. Nortje bowled a couple of sharp ones
Pakistan's session![]()
These two have shut the critics who were saying Pakistan would be knocked out very soon)
Yep, just goes to show they don’t know about how well these guys at the crease know NSK, the whole domestic season was played here this year.
I followed the QeA tournament and trust me this pitch is nothing like what was on show in the QeA. The QeA pitches were roads for the first 2-3 days with cracks opening up in the last 2. Here, the ball's turning with variable bounce on day 1 which tells me this is a pretty poor pitch.

SA would need Rabada to bowl a very good spell to come back in the game , or would need to spinners to flight the ball more , get some kind of drift , otherwise this kind of bowling will not work
Good Session for Pakistan. Azhar and Fawad, two 35+ players showing how its done.
Before the start of the series, I predicted that Fawad would be valuable. He has spent his life while playing in National Stadium Karachi.
Hopefully he proves me right today with a century.
This is very entertaining pitch.... Better than flat tracks..
I'm sensing a rabada wicket
Why are people crying about the pitch, wud u rather play on a road and see a boring draw?
This innings of Fawad again shows how Pakistan was deprived from a service over the years. It's only the 4th test after come back and he is the saviour for the second time for Pakistan. It shows when you ignore an incredibly performing batsman of domestic cricket ,actually you become deprived. Pakistan wrongly invested on Asad shafiq.
exactly... this pitch is 5 star quality
This haysman is awful commentator. Even ordinary balls from Saffers look special to him
first ball i watched after lunch and azhar gets out .. panauti
Poor shot from Azhar. Threw it away after 50.
Need runs from rizwan now
40.9?rizwan is the key here , needs to score at least 40.9
40.9?
That was loose by Azar. When he settles in he thinks he is Bradman he was doing well grinding out. Suddenly started to charge ..move his feet felt like was getting edgy needs to improve
funny thing is they continue to ignore KING domestic batsman... Salman Butt, Khurram Manzoor to name a few whom hit 100, 100, 100 all day long in domestic FC....
Azhar A should finish as 45 + batsman, shame he had a long lean patch. Typical Pakistani fashion 50 and out as I was typing.
I think the criteria of selecting cricketers should only be the performance of domestic cricket. Now India is here one of the reason is they always picked up their top performers of domestic cricket. Almost all of batsman averages 50 in Indian domestic cricket. That's why these batsmen can replicate their performance also in international cricket. Pakistan only had one batsman in Fawad Alam who averaged 50 plus in domestic cricket. Still he didn't found any spot in national team where as people with average in mid thirties easily got chances after chances in national team.
