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

Man, Abid is so extra. Yasir is clearly ******, why is he patting him like that whilst keeping an eye on the big screen and trying to act funny. I remember he once mocked Haris for dropping a slip catch when we last toured Australia and Haris similarly got upset. Abid should be worried about his place in the team and instead he’s doing nonsense like this. Can’t imagine he’s a very popular man in the dressing room.

Shaheen is so unlucky. He would have been the next Wasim if he played for any other top team but has to satisfy himself being a Zaheer Khan level only.

It has nothing to do with playing for Pakistan he will still end up with 300+ wickets if he doesn’t get injured
 
Two poor teams trying their best to lose the match geez. It’s painful to watch. Poor cricket all around, bowling, batting, fielding, reviews, umpires, ground, stadium, production, sponsors

He isn’t. Pakistani fans as usual are failing to look at the bigger picture and when they get a reality check later on, they act shocked.

Same happened with the rubbish Naseem Shah after he took cheap wickets against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh before getting humiliating in England and New Zealand.

This South African lineup has no discipline. They are playing too many reckless shots and showing poor judgement.

Shaheen is the only good Test pacer in Pakistan at the moment, but he needs to improve his intensity.

Pakistan needed this fluke wicket because Mulder was looking very good. His FC record is very impressive - a very exciting prospect for South Africa in Test cricket.

Hopefully he is not lost in the system because of the quota.

Why is everything fluke when Pakistan performs better in any aspect of the game ?
 
How many runs did the brave, resillient, gutsy and courageous Mr. Duplessis has scored in this series?

It seems his PRs are not finding a way to rate him higher now.

Also add the standard of posts in this thread, and the general attitude of Pakistan fans nowadays. Poor all-round I agree.

Yes it has been. This time around it is despite the efforts to make in favourable to spin or a flat one

Because Pakistan is a rubbish team with zero talent. However, in the context of this series, this South African side is not very good in these conditions either, so Pakistan winning this series is not a fluke.
 
Ahsan Raza’s umpiring hasnt been great in this match
 
No wonder Ahsan Raza doesn't get any test matches, awful umpire

The only wickets are not given away are the ones taken by Indian bowlers.

Exactly, it seems like there bowlers have round table conference with National President, Prime Minister and all the state Chief Ministers of state also getting inputs from RAW to decide which length and line to bowl and then bowlers execute the same plan with utmost accuracy.

If he just trying to troll people on pakpassion then it is fine. I can't imagine any person with such pessimistic approach to life. That's terrible and I literally feel sorry for him.

Hasan is proven at the international level, and has an ample amount of domestic experience under his belt as well unlike Naseem who was just a raw talent. Not a valid comparison.

He is not proven in Test cricket. He has never scaled the same heights in this format that he has in LOIs.

Fair enough. However, can you please elaborate the differences in comparison to Karachi test?

Pakistan was really good in batting, bowling and fielding and Ground and Stadium looked okay too.

The careless shot by Babar and bad use of reviews by Pakistan has what put me off mostly. A gully level team would know how to use the reviews geez. There’s no sync between captain and vc/ wk when it comes to reviews
 
Watching Bavuma bat is so dull, every single run he scores looks like gritty runs. Undoubtedly,the most resillient runs you would see from any batsman. Send him at 350-4 and he will still score a resillient 47(171).

While the point regarding reviews is valid but, I dont think this is enough reason for a match to be disgrace to international cricket. Regarding Babar playing a poor shot, is it really the first time a bad shot is played by a top batsman.

It’s not about first time. It’s about doing all possible bad things in one match. Top teams won’t let u get away by these mistakes, especially not using reviews properly.

Babar and Rizwan, captain and vc, both looked careless and absolutely clueless since day 2. If Pakistan can get away with a win, they should pray 2 rakat extra for being so dumb and still getting away with a win. The use of reviews, not reviewing the out, is what is disgraceful to international cricket

How can anyone “enjoy the experience” watching a bowling lineup just get flogged for two days on one of the flattest pitches I’ve seen in years. That is certainly not enjoyable cricket from any angle.

If not the best, India has one of the best bowling so it's probably interesting seeing them (quality bowlers) try to take wickets on a flat pitch.

When cricketers of the caliber of Kohli, Rohit, Gill, Pant, Pujara, Ashwin, Bumrah, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Anderson and Archer are playing in the same match, it is always an enjoyable experience.

Coming back to the Nauman Ali and the Chacha likeness, can you post the pic again.
 
Even Ollie Pope is a better batsman than anyone from both sides except QDk and Babar.

Pakistan is a mid tier team currently and nobody has debated that in the thread and rankings also prove that.

Again I dont think poor reviews and a few poor shots (commonly played in cricket) can make match a disgrace to cricket. I think its a pretty extreme view of the things which have been there even in the matches played by top teams.

However, you have every right to have an alternative opinion. I was just curious regarding the reasons and that if I have missed something.
 
We need to wrap up their innings fairly quickly now and without them denting our lead too much. If SA can get the lead down to around 20-30 odd, I don’t trust our top order to put up a fight at all. Could be a very close match especially if we are not able to wrap up the SA innings quickly after lunch.
 
Where is Naseem shah that quickie
Can someone enlighten me that why he is not playing since pindi traditionally supports fast bowlers, is he injured that young prodigy or lack of form
 
Faf has contributed nothing, i thought he was SouthAfrica's best bat.
If South Africa somehow make 240, this match can be competitive.
I think Faf will finally score this time.

Lower ranked team is different and poor cricket is different. You need not be a top team to know how to use reviews. Yes we can agree to disagree

If the Pakistan openers don’t make use of this and put on a decent stand even a 50 stand at this point will do then again pressure on the middle order. Still an ideal day to bat and sometime after this lunch break will be great.
 
If Mamoon is saying, Hasan Ali is a crap bowler then we have to agree.

Mamoon bhai is always right, remember how Naseem got owned. And Anderson has been bowling like a GOAT test bowler since he started hyping him from last few years.

I am afraid we are seeing the best of Hasan Ali one last time now.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Faf has a really poor record in Asia. Averages about 22 I believe. Don’t think he’ll come good on a Day 4 or 5 pitch all of a sudden with the team under pressure to chase a target.

Bauvuma doesn’t bat with the tail well, Mahraj isn’t looking comfy at all against Hassan Ali. Shutting down Rabada will be key to maintain a decent lead.

However, this is gonna be a great day for batting as well I reckon, SA only have one spinner if you think about it.

It is not easy to review SA had all their reviews wrong in first test and one in this match as well. In all matches captains get some right and some wrong. Batting from Babar, Fawad and Faheem was good here as well.

Skiddy, wickettaking but expensive, looks like he will be a Subcontinent specialist like our Umesh.

I wouldn’t always go with him, sometimes you have to give credit where it is due.
 
Pak should try to get a lead of 30-50 here and then build upon that.

Also, don't forget what happened with Amla. That is the best example you would get.
 
At least Hassan Ali goes for the wickets even though he is expensive. I rather have a bowler who takes wickets than bowl whole day and take no wickets and bowl out 30 odd overs.
 
Mamoon said:
It was the only wicket-taking delivery. Other than that he has been gifted wickets with poor batting.

He is an average Test bowler.

The bowl to Elgar was very good, moving a touch away from the left hander from round the wicket.
Before Linde's wicket he also beet him twice with to peaches.

Regarding his status as a test bowler, thzt's another discussion.

You keep coming up with the same gheesi piti lines and litterally everyone came and corrected you remember [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] schooling some other guy on this issue by litterally listing a bunch (definitely close to 5-10 major things if my memory serves me right) of things he got absolutely wrong

But you guys just don't stop cause every fan likes a chatoo Individual...
 
Pakistan need these last 3 wickets quickly. Any lead you can add 20/2 to it with our rubbish openers.

270-280 target will be ideal.

I know SA haven’t shown much across the two Tests that they’d be able to chase a score like that. But I still don’t think I’d be comfortable with a target in that range given Babar’s inexperience as captain. If a partnership or two builds he might start panicking. We need to aim for 300+ but that’ll be an uphill task given our inept top order.
