Plan has flaws. The pitch is supporting fast bowling not spinning. Spinners wont be effective except maybe Ajmal. Its a fast bowling pitch so we should have more attacking with our quicks.

You're half-right.

The pitches in South Africa help the fast bowlers while the ball is hard, for the first 18-20 overs.

After that it is a hard slog until the second new ball, because there is little reverse swing (see my thread about Johannesburg's conditions) and little deviation off the pitch.

So overs 20-80 consist of the quick bowlers sticking to a very tight line and length and trying to tempt the batsmen into poor shots. But you don't blast people out with pace at Johannesburg after the first hour with the new ball.

Adil or Irfan's bounce will be a virtue from overs 20-80, but their lack of pace won't matter at all so long as they are very, very strict in their line and length.

If this doesn't sap the life out of you not sure what will
 
These matches would have been great if Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan and Haris Sohail were playing
 
This is good stuff from Geo Super, showing it to the whole world and the pictures are of top quality!
 
Rahat Ali should have been there for Irfan, not Ehsan Adil.

Selectors just wanted to please people because Irfan has performed against India, but that was Limited Overs. Irfan should not play the longer format because he is 30 years old and we want the maximum out of him, ie playing him in the shorter formats and not putting too much strain on his body.

Besides, Rahat Ali is a much better Test Bowler compared to Irfan.

Adil taken 53 wickets
Rahat taken 25 wickets around in President,s cup

Yeah the only problem is the COMMENTARY..... N o talking on balling but on chotay bachay and a guy getting his kids a drink while adil and rehmans bowls. :facepalm: :facepalm:

Nice movement by Adil nearly got the batsmen.
 
ripper from adil, umpire says no. batsman really struggling to score runs of him.
 
Geos official stream has dropped from a total of 40 viewers to 35, probably more than the numbers in the stadium.
 
Is it Ehsan Adil at short leg? That would be unfair as he is bowling at the same time.
 
Frankly speaking ground atmosphere on neutral venues is much more fascinating ....A test match on Pakistani soil looks extremely boring with low bounce,no turn and lack of spectators.....
 
Rahat has get his chance bowled 4 carp Overs
i would have Sadaf ahead of Rahat anytime

Thtas because Misbah was captaining stupidly, Sarfaraz dropped catches, and alot of the runs he gave were edges. Plus it is a must to give debutants a long run to perform like Ausseies and Saffers do.

For example: Dean Elgar scored two ducks on debut, but when given another chance he scored a century.

:facepalm:

You can't judge a bowler after 4 overs Hasham2 and bowling 4 overs doesn't mean he has got his chance.

He is a fine bowler, as is Sadaf.

Sadaf Ahead of Rahat any time
 
Sadaf Ahead of Rahat any time

What if Misbah gives Ehsan 4 overs on ODI debut and he gives runs from edges, dropped catches and bad fielding placings. Will you call Adil crap too like you called Rahat. No. Since your a fan of Adil you hate all of his competition. Mistake by Misbah has not given you the right to criticize Rahat, Also you dont criticize Sadaf cause he is nowhere near selection. Have some empathy
 
Sadaf deserved his chance more than adil but Sadaf didn'tmake a right decision by dumping presiden't trophy and he is going to pay for it for next 2 3 years. His fault.
 
Disappointed with Ali Waqas batting at No.6, the whole tourney he was batting at No.4 and Umar comes and takes No.4, could have given Uamr No.6

Yep and he has more runs then Umer. :facepalm: :facepalm: they wasted the number 4 position.
 
I don't understand the commentary but they do use some English words every now and then for some reason such as "leg spin" "test captain" "pace and bounce"
