Pakistan trail by 2 runs in their second innings, finishing Day 2 of the First Test against South Africa at 88/3

[emranabbas]

If Zimbabar doesn't score in this innings he should be kicked out from test team.

Good batting pitch No excuse

 

[RidiculousMan]

If Zimbabar doesn't score in this innings he should be kicked out from test team.

A great chance for him to save this Test match.

If Bosch can score 70-80 here with that technique than surely Babar should back himself to do that or one better. He surely has the better technique

 

[sweep_shot]

Last 2 partnerships have added 88 runs. May turn out to be decisive.

SA have a lead of 90 runs.

 

[IAJ]

Take out some more positive feelings

But spare us from your zaati feelings

 

[emranabbas]

How longs the break

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor from Paterson. Should have escorted Bosch to his maiden ton.

 

[Zeshan547]

Guys we are winning it ,Pak to score 300+ and set target of 220+ , SAF all out for under 150 in 4th inning, Just bookmark it, Just my gut feeling, let's go Boys, stop the Rona Dhona for now, We got this.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Would like to know how many bouncers we bowled to Bosch. I recall one half well directed bouncer.

 

[Devadwal]

36 overs left so most likely 28-29 overs will be bowled by South Africa Today

Predict the Pakistan score at the end of today ?

Mine - 90/3

 

[IAJ]

How longs the break

20 minutes tea-break

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A great chance for him to save this Test match.

If Bosch can score 70-80 here with that technique than surely Babar should back himself to do that or one better. He surely has the better technique

Many saying on X that his technique is better than the entire Pakistan team.

I will take that, honestly.

 

[sweep_shot]

How longs the break

Tea break is generally 15-20 minutes long I believe. It is shorter than Lunch break which is 40 minutes long.

Pakistan are getting all out on 99. This team just don't have the mental toughness to see this through

 

[IMMY69]

Reckon Masood needs a really big score here or else he should be sacked... his captaincy has been inexplicable

 

[RidiculousMan]

Many saying on X that his technique is better than the entire Pakistan team.

Technically it is, or was. Before he fall off there was a reason why he was scoring significant runs for Pakistan all over the world.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Match winning performance from Jeffrey Dahmer

 

[Devadwal]

Tea break is generally 15-20 minutes long I believe. It is shorter than Lunch break which is 40 minutes long.

20 minutes exactly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was about Bosch not Babar.

 

[kron]

Shan is a fool for not using the spinners any earlier

Shan sharma new level achieved

Should be batting at no. 7. If I'm Bosch, I would feel disrespected to be going after Jansen

 

[Devadwal]

Highest scores from No.9 on Test debut - 81* by Corbin Bosch . remembered the name

 

[sweep_shot]

Reckon Masood needs a really big score here or else he should be sacked... his captaincy has been inexplicable

This seems like a low-scoring pitch.

Don't think any batter from either side would score big here.

 

[Sher Khan]

Probably about 25 overs left in the day. My prediction is Pakistan will be 35/4 at stumps today.

 

[IMMY69]

This seems like a low-scoring pitch.

Don't think any batter from either side would score big here.

Then he should be sacked

 

[RehanG]

Pak loves to make “newbies” famous in test cricket.

This is beyond ridiculous. 213-8 should’ve been 220 allout

 

[Amjid Javed]

Reckon Masood needs a really big score here or else he should be sacked... his captaincy has been inexplicable

He will fail as usual

 

[batandballbattle]

Put pressure on only to throw our good efforts away. How many times have we seen this same episode

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Australia or England would get 300 here and make it a tough chase for SA.

Pakistan will most likely get between 100 to 160

 

[RidiculousMan]

Probably about 25 overs left in the day. My prediction is Pakistan will be 35/4 at stumps today.

Same. Match will be over today and will be wrapped up tomorrow morning first hour

 

[Devadwal]

Australia or England would get 300 here and make it a tough chase for SA.

Pakistan will most likely get between 100 to 160

Watch out for counter attacking opening stand between saim and skipper .

 

[Rana]

Yeah Masood should be sacked so Saud doesn’t get his chance to lead and Rizwan capitalises on the failure of Pakistan whilst he fails himself.

Cringe Pakistan fans

 

[stani_pak]

Shot Saim Ayub

 

[Human786]

36 unlikely overs left .... fancy 100/3 or worse ?

 

[batandballbattle]

Saim has come out with clear intent, not bothered by our poor 3rd innings track record

 

[emranabbas]

Need to make as many runs possible today
Tomorrow will be difficult

 

[Rana]

Shan’s Missus full on reciting Durood

 

[Devadwal]

Corbin Bosch is sharing the new ball ? Wow

 

[emranabbas]

Commentator no nothing about cricket they are saying rizwan didn't kick on in the first innings
But what a innings rizwan played

 

[Human786]

14 in 2 overs ...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

PaaK need to target 350-360

 

[Marooned]

I'm so thankful we no longer have Imam in team.

 

[Devadwal]

Saim can cut this lead in very Short time.

 

[Fazzy321]

Someone need to shut up those choir in the background

 

[Marooned]

Unbelievable Rabbada went wicketless in 1st innings. He bowled jaffa after jaffa

 

[Devadwal]

PaaK need to target 350-360

If they can score over 330 than game is over for Africa.

 

[emranabbas]

Someone need to shut up those choir in the background

It's distracting and annoying

 

[m.shah]

Butiful inside edge by useless captain

 

[emranabbas]

Someone need to shut up those choir in the background

Only man to shut em will be rizwan

 

[Human786]

Need to make as many runs possible today
Tomorrow will be difficult

why will it be difficult ?

 

[Marooned]

why will it be difficult ?

What do you think is the meaning of life?

 

[m.shah]

Shan should be kicked out and captaincy should be handed to Rizwan. He is keeper so he will play anyways. But today I saw shan is a useless captain Just like the batsman he is.

 

[Human786]

SA have the prettiest ladies in Stadium ... 22/0

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 22/0 (3.4 overs).

Good start.

 

[Human786]

What do you think is the meaning of life?

Life is uncertain & cruel too ... btw, expect dramatic changes in pitch on day 3 ?

 

[emranabbas]

why will it be difficult ?

Early morning bowlers are more agressive, conditions and pitch also favours bowlers through out the day pitch will get difficult too

 

[sweep_shot]

On this type of low-scoring pitch, attack is the best defense.

 

[Marooned]

Life is uncertain & cruel too ... btw, expect dramatic changes in pitch on day 3 ?

It's looking good rn and pitch changes in no time in sa. So they better make most of it

 

[emranabbas]

61 more runs to wipe off lead

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 30/0 (5 overs).

Trailing by 60 runs.

SA have the prettiest ladies in Stadium ... 22/0

Chacha ankhan thandiyan kar reha ae. LOL.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pin drop silence when Pak hits a 4

Even Saffers don't clap for the opposite team

 

[jamie smith]

56 more runs needed

 

[Aviator]

What Dilemma!
I cant stand watching shan masood bat, But I cant stop watching saim bat..

 

[followed]

Soniyan buriyan baithiyan ne

 

[IAJ]

Mike Haysman sounding very desperate for SA wicket, calm down man

 

[Kianig89]

Ideal opportunity to put the foot on throat

 

[Fazzy321]

Pin drop silence when Pak hits a 4

Even Saffers don't clap for the opposite team

They are some of the passionate fans I have seen

 

[Devadwal]

Phainta to rabada . Pakistan is racing away

 

[jamie smith]

tum cxe khoxan saimas

Pin drop silence when Pak hits a 4

Even Saffers don't clap for the opposite team

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan has a long batting please do not muck up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

tum cxe khoxan saimas

Iss ka tarjuma kar ke bata

 

[jamie smith]

this is real talent of pak bats

 

[Human786]

Rabada is not having a good Test on his fave ground ... 39 in 6

 

[Asad T]

Ayub looking good,
Shan looking edgy as usual

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Brilliant batting so far

 

[Kianig89]

Aqibball in action

 

[jamie smith]

sa bowlers are afraid of saim

Iss ka tarjuma kar ke bata

 

[emranabbas]

200 with 2 wickets down is quiet possible before the end of play
