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

This is going to be one of those dream debuts then. Pakistan getting their own version of Sam Curran.
 
Markram is statpadding. Exposing the tail too much.
How are guys who have test match hundreds tailenders? They are in the race for a WTC spot playing cricket with this line up. He is right to trust them and expect them to deal with the challenge

Correct.Makes no sense for him to swing till Paterson comes in.
 
The biggest mistake was playing that pedestrian abbas


I was never worried about jamal and naseem because like khurram they are wicket takers.

Should have played mir hamza would have given a left arm swing option with the new ball.

Hopefully abbas is done and dusted he was found out a long time ago and intital first 2 yr success declined rapidly .
 
Naseem is consistently bowling with High 130s speed

Extra pace is needed to dismissed the batsman
 
Naseem needs to work on an inswinger. Would make it a lot harder to leave if he keeps bowling at that 4th-5th stump line with the threat of bowled and LBW
Yes. Short ball as well. He can be lethal if he develops it
 
Need to be careful of Bosch he has a first class average in the mid 30's if this partnership can get going the lead may be 50 runs too many
 
Salman Ali Agha had earlier taken a good, calm catch of Kyle Verreynne at slip, but this time he missed the catch of Corbin Bosch on Day 2 of the First Test between South Africa and Pakistan.

A good effort this time, but not enough.

And in the commentary, Ramiz Raja says, "From butter chicken to butter fingers."
