Lucky break for De Zorzi. He looks terrible against spin. Don't expect him to last long..

Didn't see the match, but saw the scorecard 5 minutes ago, De Zorzi is on 81*

Seems like a collapse 4 wickets for 42 runs. Can SA add another 100 runs from here? I think batting last will be near impossible.

Abrar should have played here

Should have been picked for his celebration style alone

Sports need some character cmon

Noman Ali shared following thoughts in a presser today:

Team Strategy and Goals
* "Our target was 350 plus and I think we achieved it."
* "I think the way Agha and Rizwan finished and the way Shahan and Imam bowled, we set a very good total."
* "The main thing is to take as much lead as possible, which will benefit us in the third inning, so that we can set a good target in the fourth inning."
* "We will try to take out as few runs as possible. And the more lead we take, I think our target is that if we take 100 plus lead, then it will benefit us in our third inning."
* "The simple goal was not to get too excited and to bowl in our area. And we tried to do that."
* "See, if you ask me, our goal was the same, which our coaches, Mr. Abdur Rahman and I have talked to them. We have been working with them for the last three to four months."

Pitch and Bowling Conditions
* "The ball was staying low more than the first day of the second day."
* "The conditions are in front of you. The conditions are on the slow side."
* "I feel that it will be a low bounce in the future."
* "In the future, the batsman may have difficulties in the third and fourth inning."

Game Progress and Partnerships
* "A very good partnership went from their side, because of which they played well. But in the end, if we look at the last session, we took wickets and took six outs."
* "If I play out, then support Sajid. So let's go together and try to do bowling with the partnership."
* "He has also played very well. Some of his reviews have been a little ahead and behind, but the effort is that if he plays out, he should support him."

On-field Incident (Wicket Conversation)
* "It was not much, it was just a little out. One of our players said something, so he took it on himself, although he did not say it."
* "I have said before that the effort is to take them out as little as possible."

He has been very lucky

When

You are way off.

He was player of tournament twice in consecutive QEAs and primarily due to his bowling.

When was that? What were his bowling performances?
