Pakistan end Day 3 at 213/1, trailing by 208 runs, after being forced to follow on in the second Test against South Africa

[Rana]

Rizwan has lost interest in the match now that Babar is out

They were dreaming of a 400 run partnership and have the song RizBar RizBar playing in Cape Town all night

 

[daytrader]

What's the target for follow on

 

[Aami]

Man ... you supposedly Pak supporters are negative cursing lot.

 

[daytrader]

Yes goes back to the cage.

Good one

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Zimbabar fails to score a century on a road. I have always said he is supremely overrated

 

[angrypathan]

What's the target for follow on

415

 

[mominsaigol]

What's the target for follow on

Probs 300 or so

 

[BouncerGuy]

TALK ABOUT THIS MATCH ONLY...THREAD IS NOT ABOUT ALEX CAREY

 

[Rana]

Bavuma always pairing Rabada/Jansen and Mulder/Maphaka

 

[angrypathan]

Are you kidding me? WHAT WAS THAT

 

[Romali_rotti]

Damn legside gone. Bowled

 

[Devadwal]

Another one bite the dust .

5 down

 

[angrypathan]

No amount of criticism is enough for how pathetic that shot was in the context of the game

 

[PakPremi]

What a silly shot, what happened to the brain?

 

[m.shah]

What a loser this guy is. Plays T20 like tests and tests like T20.

 

[mominsaigol]

What was he even trying to do?

That's an uncanny shot even from him.

 

[Fazzy321]

Such a useless team. Cant even score on this flat pitch when there is no pressure you know you gonna lose. Just losing wickets to dud balls

 

[Rana]

What was he even trying to do?

That's an uncanny shot even from him.

Bhai he is homelander

Alag hi tashan hai inka

 

[Rana]

Pommie giving Obi Wan Kenobi level commentary to Rizwan’s choice of shot

 

[Rana]

Where is Ramiz “Rizwan has this ability to switch on” now?

 

[Rana]

South Africa shouldn’t enforce the follow on

Come out and bat again

Tunn ke rakho Inna nu!

 

[Devadwal]

Bring back rabada amd jansen to Bowl in tandom .

Keech ke rkho

 

[Rana]

Bring back rabada amd jansen to Bowl in tandom .

Aithe rakh!

 

[shah9425]

Well played Rizwan

 

[Rana]

But but Alex Carey can’t score 300 if the top order doesn’t score

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Brainless shot by Rizwan. Jansen batted better than the Pakistan team

 

[Rana]

Mulder very handsome man

God bless you sir

 

[Rana]

Brainless shot by Rizwan. Jansen batted better than the Pakistan team

That was a Maharaj level chawli by Rizwan

 

[Snowflake]

I’m so sick of these soft 40s and 50s by Rizwan and Babar.

Zero benefit to the team but confirms their own place in the side.

For supposedly top batsman, how long has been since we’ve seen a big score from Babar? He’s nowhere close to the Fab 4 anymore.

Totally lost his touch. And no, a 50 on this road is nothing special.

 

[Rana]

Salman Jugaar opportunity now to secure captaincy

Platinum category performances

Category A level performances

Harvard Business school level performances

 

[Devadwal]

@Mamoon i thought rizwan can replace Carey in australia playing eleven.

 

[Rana]

Rashid Latif and Dr Nauman Niaz dagger in the heart moment

 

[Rana]

Bring on Maharaj and wrap this up. He will wreck Jamal and the tail

 

[BouncerGuy]

stay on topic

 

[Rana]

I started noticing this in 2020. Yes I have a very unhealthy obsession studying Rizwan. Fascinating person.

The guy lives on another planet in his head. Often, you will see him give proof of this.

 

[daytrader]

Poor shot for the format but one can only curb their aggressive instincts for so long. I remember Rizwan's test debut. He tried hooking a bouncer for 6 on the very first ball but got caught.

 

[Human786]

How did Mulder get a go ahead of Bosch? Can’t even argue it was a quota selection

absolute brain fade by Shukri & Tembu !!! 155/6

 

[ask_analyse_act]

What's the target for follow on

long way to go.. 416 to avoid follow on

 

[Devadwal]

Another one gone.

This is epic humiliation on a Patta pitch.

155/6

 

[RidiculousMan]

Very dangerous pitch to bat. Pakistan should complain to Match Referee to stop the game.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is pathetic batting from Pakistan,. absolute trash

 

[m.shah]

This is minnow level batting from Pakistan. No fight whatsoever

 

[BouncerGuy]

That is why a spinner was needed.

 

[Devadwal]

long way to go.. 416 to avoid follow on

Pakistan will not avoid the follow-on in both inning combined

 

[Devadwal]

Last ove before the lunch.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

That was a Maharaj level chawli by Rizwan

A crap shot similar to crapfridi who averages 25 after 300 games

 

[Rana]

Someone needs to question Rizwan’s intentions for the country

Why is his attitude towards batting so different when Babar is at the crease with him? Why is he so disinterested when Babar isn’t there? What’s the reason for the sudden shift in intensity towards the game?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I was wrong Pakistan will lose the game today instead of following on

 

[ask_analyse_act]

aamer jamal what can he do.... Has been a big let down as an allrounder so far in this series..

Noman ali would have been a good addition instead of aamer jamal in this match.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Honestly did it surprise you?

 

[Rana]

The wicket of Rizwan has increased my admiration of Mulder. That was beautiful

Who will score runs?

 

[Human786]

SAF will end up with 400 lead with around 50 overs left today , should bat , let the bowlers rest over night & bowl 1st thing tomorrow morning with a improbable 575-600 target so that they get Tuesday off .

 

[m.shah]

I was wrong Pakistan will lose the game today instead of following on

It's quite possible that game will finish today. Sa should be disappointed if they don't

 

[PakPremi]

What’s wrong with the guys constantly fawning about the ladies in the crowed here? Am I not allowed to find what I find beautiful?

The wicket of Rizwan has increased my admiration of Mulder. That was beautiful

OK I get it now.

 

[Rana]

Why would SA want to enforce the follow on? Plenty of time, pitch still flat

Just bat again and get valuable batting practice. Pakistan dou sessions ki maar hai on day 4 or 5

 

[RidiculousMan]

No need to rest. Enforce follow on and wrap up the game today

Nah they will enforce the follow -on and try to get 1-2 wickets at the end of play.

 

[RidiculousMan]

There is rain expected on Day 4 and 5. Besides Pakistan won't be able to cross 200 again anyways

 

[BouncerGuy]

Talk about game

 

[daytrader]

Yea I guess innings defeat coming up

 

[Rana]

Bro Afridi never have a flying manji

He lived by the sword, died by the sword.

He has a cult following in Australian teenage cricket fans. They grew up admiring him.

Same chemistry same physics. Has to change his style of play with other batters because a new batter at the crease needs time to settle. Onus falls on Rizwan not to get bogged down. He had the right intention, execution though was wrong

Sounds like the talented MR Ripley, not chemistry and physics. Watch the movie to understand the dynamic

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Not a single ball deserved a wicket this session.

Babar had a chance to begin his legacy but everyone and their cat knew he's going to gift his wicket to Maphaka.

 

[IAJ]

Love talks of double tons, let's get 50s first. This is SA bowling not Pakistan attack.

You must be kidding?

 

[IAJ]

It's so strange that playing international cricket for manydecades teams like India and Pakistan still can't read pitches and select the playing eleven accordingly. India went in with Sundar and Jadeja on a green spicy wicket and here Pakistan don't have any specialist spinner. You can't bank and part-timers against international batters.

 

[Human786]

No need to rest. Enforce follow on and wrap up the game today

Bowlers work load , as such deck is pretty docile atm , 50 overs of roughing it up will help tomorrow . 4 day game !

I've seen it a long while back. Rizwan's a God fearing man and not the villain you're making him out to be.

 

[Rana]

Fearing God and being disingenuous are two different things.

There are plenty of us who only fear God, but we are far from perfect.

 

[Rana]

Not sure if he wants to attain greatness or cringe fan following on social media.

I wouldn’t buy these shoes from TK max even if they were on offer for £10

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

how many times we have seen Babar gifting his wicket on ball sliding down the leg or Half tracker straight to mid wicket?

This Guy ever learns? Just there to score fifty and secure spot for next. Cringe batter

 

[Darkrai]

Should learn from the leader of the team.

 

[Kianig89]

Will anybody criticise Shan The skipper

 

[Rana]

Will anybody criticise Shan The skipper

No.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

I have a gut feeling that RSA will bat for 40 overs after Pak follow-on just to break them even more.
