Pakistan reach 17/2 at Stumps on Day 1 and trail South Africa by 245 runs in the 3rd Test

[Da_Future_Knick]

Faheem gets 3 wickets and he didn’t play the first two test smh.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

what a comeback, i still cannot believe my eyes. Hopefully the batsmen don't mess this one up

 

[Pete Rose]

Not going to happen . I think something on lines of 225 . Taking a slender lead would be huge .

Yes. Because fate and life are like this: we will lose Shan masood today

 

[ARK Rafay]

Maybe this was also the reason why Amir used to take his wickets back in 2010

If that's the case I don't understand why Rahat Ali was dropped

 

[Shandarchowka]

Faheem gets 3 wickets and he didn’t play the first two test smh.

Team management needs to be given a pasting for getting the team wrong. Even an average poster in this forum knew 5-2-3 was the way to go..

 

[Salman4.]

Faheem gets 3 easy wickets. All the hard work done by Abbas and others enjoy the fruit.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The Wanderers has seen us experience one of Pakistan cricket's most embarrassing moments in history, getting bowled out for 49. With veterans like Younis and Misbah in the team.

And somehow this Pakistan team's performance so far means "Pakistan cricket is finished" )

 

[PakPremi]

it was criminal to play Yasir on SA wickets, we only had effectively 3 bowlers in the last two matches.

 

[Gullycricket]

If that's the case I don't understand why Rahat Ali was dropped

He is the phantom the legend.Not dropped but rested

Tell that to some so called esteemed posters on this forum. Their hate doesn't seem to have limits.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shan to get a 100 inshaAllah.

 

[Shafi]

Because of our pathetic batting S Africa will take a big lead. At least we are not loosing by innings.

Your formula works like this make the present look rosy and be dismissive of the past even if its the ATG 90s side

 

[Green Patriot]

Legend openers with averages of 26 and 27.

 

[ARK Rafay]

A rest of 8 months. Hope he gets enough rest before CWC19 starts

 

[Gullycricket]

We cannot also pretend everything is rosy.There are some problems which need to be addressed

 

[Plumb]

Didn't notice that we had a game today... seems like we did ok? Pacers did Ok.

Abbas got the early ones, calling the experts who call him.."yet to perform against top team"

 

[ARK Rafay]

Legend openers with averages of 26 and 27.

That's 53 in opening stand

 

[Shandarchowka]

We cannot also pretend everything is rosy.There are some problems which need to be addressed

Agreed but all is not lost.

 

[letme alone]

sten 144k

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz 100. I'm calling it

 

[Plumb]

how was the speed of our bowlers?

 

[ARK Rafay]

sten 144k

His Average speed will be fastest then the fastest bowl bowled by any of our bowlers

 

[Fahdi]

If that's the case I don't understand why Rahat Ali was dropped

Blasphemous! The phenom, the last Airbender wasn't dropped! We just decided to spare the other teams the misery of having to face him

 

[castortroy]

Something definitely fishy with the speed gun here

Nowhere in hell these deliveries are 140 plus

 

[Shandarchowka]

Saffers don't have a spinner... they're bowling 4th here!

 

[indianpanacea]

I m disappointed to see rizwan not playing

 

[Boi]

Comfortable start.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Let's see how Saffers are going to blow away Pakistan with the new ball because Mr [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] thinks that Pakistan doesn't know how to bowl with the new ball and we can only reverse swing it. I'm curious to see how much swing Philander and Steyn get here.

 

[letme alone]

just

 

[ARK Rafay]

Blasphemous! The phenom, the last Airbender wasn't dropped! We just decided to spare the other teams the misery of having to face him

Uff...

The players should be thankful of him before taking a stance!

Pakistan can swing the new ball lol. Don't think Bangladesh can though.

 

[coy0607]

Legend openers with averages of 26 and 27.

and one of them is favored to become the next test captain

 

[Peter Osgood]

SA@ 229-3 cruise, 262 all out

 

[Pete Rose]

If the play for close they will lose wickets

 

[Shandarchowka]

Pakistan can swing the new ball lol. Don't think Bangladesh can though.

Lol.. they think they're the second coming of West indies..

 

[ARK Rafay]

SA@ 229-3 cruise, 262 all out

That's what we call choke!

 

[Stalin]

So ,If you see off Steyn and Philander... you have Rabada and Oliphier loading.
Not gonna be easy.

 

[ILcricket]

SAF will regret not playing Keshav as the 5th bowling option .

 

[Shandarchowka]

So ,If you see off Steyn and Philander... you have Rabada and Oliphier loading.
Not gonna be easy.

Don't worry about us. We will score 400 here.

 

[Mueez]

What a good ball by Steyn!

 

[Stalin]

That was 145 k??

 

[Rayyman]

Lol.. they think they're the second coming of West indies..

Mashrafe and Mustafizur can move it off the pitch, but they're just not good enough in Tests.

 

[topspin]

For those who watched the coverage today it seems they've talked more about golf than the actual match in the comm. box.

 

[Madplayer]

4 man pace attack.

And right arm bowlers.

 

[Green Patriot]

and one of them is favored to become the next test captain

Tbf Shan has been good in this series but as usual fans jumping the gun here.

This is not enough to warrant captaincy.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Mashrafe and Mustafizur can move it off the pitch, but they're just not good enough in Tests.

The only way they move off the pitch is by cutters... basically they spin the ball

 

[ARK Rafay]

For those who watched the coverage today it seems they've talked more about golf than the actual match in the comm. box.

Dahh.. It is a golf match. What are you watching?

 

[coy0607]

Imam, as is typical, looking like a walking wicket

 

[Shandarchowka]

For those who watched the coverage today it seems they've talked more about golf than the actual match in the comm. box.

They won't speak when they're not playing well. Jingoistic bunch

 

[Pete Rose]

Rameez and his tripe

 

[topspin]

Tbf Shan has been good in this series but as usual fans jumping the gun here.

This is not enough to warrant captaincy.

In isolation agreed but does Sarfraz deserve an extension of his captaincy duties? Most certainly not. Masood is among the best leadership options available.

 

[letme alone]

keeper is not comfortable here .serfi was good

 

[Green Patriot]

Oh no please no Shan.

 

[MSaad1237]

Out!?

 

[Shandarchowka]

Not out

 

[ARK Rafay]

Out!

 

[topspin]

Dahh.. It is a golf match. What are you watching?

I'm talking about when Ernie Els was in the box - no focus on the cricket whatsoever, if anything just neglecting the match itself. When the golfer was there not one word was uttered about Amir's injury.

 

[MSaad1237]

Gone!!

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[coy0607]

2 totally separate discussions, and one shouldn't affect the other

 

[Stalin]

Don't worry about us. We will score 400 here.

Yes. If everyone plays to their potential, Pak can surely score 400 in both innings combined.
As I say that future Pak captain is out

 

[Boi]

SA have worked Masood out. 4th stump line and yes a goner

 

[Shandarchowka]

Shan, what have you done?! There was a hundred o offer here!

Noe expect some posters to come and say how we've regressed and all that.

 

[Mueez]

Oh Shan...

 

[Ramsay]

Pakistan’s best batsman is out!!!

 

[castortroy]

Still fully expect SA to have a lead

Pak won't make more than 220

 

[Shandarchowka]

I hope Babar comes in at 3! Azhar is out of sorts. And Babar's long term position should also be 3.

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan’s best batsman is out!!!

Nah, that’s Babar

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sarfaraz trolling the umpire. Love it.
‘Are you sure about that?’

Sarfraz must have been inspired by Bhagwat Chandrasekhar

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes. It was investable that lead scorer would be dismissed early

 

[Usman Chadda]

Your formula works like this make the present look rosy and be dismissive of the past even if its the ATG 90s side

Nah, the present ain't rosy. Just that the past wasn't that great either. Yet we never had the wrist-slitting teenagers we do nowadays.

People here are too young to remember the Shoaib Malik era, which was actually the most depressing as a Pakistani fan.

 

[Birdman]

What a great bowling performance from Pakistan, bundles SA for 33 runs after Tea.

Ravi was just trying to help neighbors out.

 

[Green Patriot]

In isolation agreed but does Sarfraz deserve an extension of his captaincy duties? Most certainly not. Masood is among the best leadership options available.

How is he the best?Let him cement his place first in the side and be given a consistent run.He might turn out to be a good choice but not right now,perhaps in the future.

 

[Fahdi]

Shan was bound to fail once. Came at the worst possible time.

Azhar Bhai why'd you even bother to walk out?

 

[Shandarchowka]

Azhar.. walking wicket as expected. This should be his last test match.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hehe

 

[topspin]

Fine ball from Philander - credit where due.

 

[srh]

Yes. Because fate and life are like this: we will lose Shan masood today

lol; you got it man

 

[Usman Chadda]

Can we have Azhar's stats this series?
