Pakistan end Day 3 on a second innings score of 129/6, with a lead of 200

[sindhiboy]

Why are SA still persisting with Maharaj?

 

[Titan24]

Btw boys, where is Shadab these days?

He was unfit, is fit now but in the rehab. Will come back in PSL

 

[Omer2002]

All because rather than block block they showed some intent...if it was a minefield i understand. Has anybody seen a ball spin yet.....no

 

[MRSN]

This looks like a day 4 pitch and we are into day3..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 124/5 - lead 191

 

[Titan24]

Elgar may have dropped the match earlier

Yes that was a big miss considering the match situation and Faheem’s form

 

[Mueez]

He was unfit, is fit now but in the rehab. Will come back in PSL

Ah I see! Thanks bro.

 

[PakPremi]

Rana Faheem Pandya Stokes Klusener Ashraf

Pandaya does not belong in the list

 

[Dark_Horse]

It looks like from the face expressions that de kock would start weeping soon

 

[Yk313]

There is no way to ignore the work that has been put into making Fahim’s batting game more self-assured.

They showed the side-on graphic of Fahim’s square drives against Nortje and the contact point being close to the batsman was really pleasing.

Not sure how MoYo’s influence can be denied.

Let’s hope Fahim can hone his bowling side too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Btw boys, where is Shadab these days?

Enjoying his life

 

[MRSN]

Should be stumps anytime

 

[Rana]

Dont feed pacers to Rana sab. He loves them

 

[PakPremi]

All because rather than block block they showed some intent...if it was a minefield i understand. Has anybody seen a ball spin yet.....no

Plenty

 

[Titan24]

Why are SA still persisting with Maharaj?

Ball is spinning and Maharaj has been their best bowler in the innings so hoping for a wicket or two from him here

 

[MRSN]

As SA are bowling with the fast bowlers

 

[Titan24]

No pacer has got it to reverse as much as Hassan Ali. Reverse is definitely an art which is hard to master

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why are SA still persisting with Maharaj?

Because of Babar

 

[Nadeemp]

The keeper about to cry

 

[Nadeemp]

need another 50.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets get to close of play with these 2 batting.

 

[Titan24]

Faheem averaging 170 in the series with the bat.

 

[MHN1293]

It looks like from the face expressions that de kock would start weeping soon

I love how everyone l9ves to bash him on this forum.

 

[Omer2002]

Oh spinning i see well nothing to.worry about is it we have two spinners...all Lbws have been straight balls

 

[Nadeemp]

the pitch is not a minefield yet

 

[Amjid Javed]

52 run partnership now.

 

[Nadeemp]

shaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[MRSN]

Haha what was that from Maharaj.

 

[Titan24]

Maharaj kicked the ball on the face of Russie.

 

[Nadeemp]

uncle nauman will be key tomorrow.

 

[Nadeemp]

nauman will be more dangerous than yasir

 

[Amjid Javed]

20 more minutes to get thru, then straigh over to watch football after.

 

[MRSN]

Maharaj kicked the ball on the face of Russie.

But he didn't mind it. Looks like both have a good relationship..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nauman has bowled a bit too quick on this wicket

Needs to slow down in the 2nd inns

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Going through the earlier posts on this thread. What is this submissive narrative that Hassan goes for wickets but leaks runs? Half his runs came through the slip cordon. The guy was bowling fire today. Mamoon trying to escape easy after writing him off yesterday, matlab kuch bhi?

Savor it. Hassan Ali is a grade A bowler with a fantastic array of in-dippers, off-cutters, slower ones, short balls, and reverse swinging deliveries. He bowled better than anyone from both teams, including Rabada, Shaheen, and Nortje, today.

 

[Titan24]

But he didn't mind it. Looks like both have a good relationship..

Yes he was pretty chilled up after that.

 

[Nadeemp]

mahraj is losing hair

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gone into block mode again, not a good sign.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

9 overs left in the day don't think they'll get through them

 

[MRSN]

Could be the last over

 

[Titan24]

Hassan got it to reverse more than any in this series. He has full set of skills and is important for Pak team when fit, raring to go and in rythm.

 

[MRSN]

Gone into block mode again, not a good sign.

Good move as day is about to end. Restart tomorr

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem throws it away

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[castortroy]

What a pathetic shot

 

[MRSN]

As I type Rana shb has thrown it away.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good move as day is about to end. Restart tomorr

I just hope we dont lose a wicket.

 

[Bewal Express]

Poooor shot.

 

[MHN1293]

Gone into block mode again, not a good sign.

Only a few overs left so it would be better to not take any risks and see the day out. Besides its not like pak are in a really dominant position.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

South Africa back in this now

 

[imshally81]

Need 50 more runs

 

[castortroy]

SA have a really good chance of winning this

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Wasim Akram had to run his mouth didnt he, goddamn commentators curse.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor stuff from fahim, block mode was asking for trouble.

 

[Omer2002]

Spinning like a cobra i must say....

 

[castortroy]

230 in 2 days just needs one big partnership

 

[Titan24]

Went hard at it. Important runs from Faheem neverthless

 

[Savak]

Linde has an injured shoulder and he is also not even rated in South Africa. Only Pakistan makes temporary superstars out of ordinary cricketers

 

[MHN1293]

I am adamant now. Commebtators curse is real yesterday with babar and now with faheem.

 

[castortroy]

Why Hasan ali

 

[Rana]

Soft dismissal

Linde has picked up 3 very soft wickets!

 

[Nadeemp]

need 50 more

 

[castortroy]

Hasan Ali can't block.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need 50 more runs

We definatley need another 50 runs runs here.

 

[imshally81]

Light should offer now

 

[Titan24]

Responsibility on Rizwan now to work with the tail and increase the lead

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan will need 280-300 to be in the game.

They won't get there that is another thing.

 

[naseem]

Should have been stumps by now...it's disadvantage to batting team to play

 

[Rana]

According to our critics, Pakistan are winning this series because SA have gifted their wickets.....But apparently every wicket SA take is well earned.

similarly, Linde has three wickets in 128-6

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This should be the last over of the day.

 

[imshally81]

230 in 2 days just needs one big partnership

Or 1 good bowling spell

 

[castortroy]

It was so inevitable pak batting would blow an advantage. I have seen it so often

 

[Nadeemp]

we need 50 more

 

[Amjid Javed]

Depends if rizwan can get a 50 now.

 

[Rana]

I think Pakistan has a safe score but we could bat them out completely with 250

 

[imshally81]

Lead is 200 runs now

 

[Titan24]

200 lead now

 

[Omer2002]

Linde has an injured shoulder and he is also not even rated in South Africa. Only Pakistan makes temporary superstars out of ordinary cricketers

Its ok people here are saying there is spin so he would take wickets....

 

[MHN1293]

200 lead up need another 80 runs from here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

SA pacers will be straight on tomorrow so rizwan needs to protect the tail.
