South Africa (194/9) thrash Pakistan (139) by 55 runs in the first T20I of the series

Babar returned to his original form

PCB only Swiping players to hide their failures

South African pacers also bowled better lines and lengths and looked more threatening…hence got just rewards.

Shaheen and Naseem bowled too many loose and wide deliveries and hence went for plenty.

Tell us something new about Shaheen and Naseem. Far too many players are still playing in this team with zilch performances and on the basis of the early potential they showed early on in their careers 5-6 years ago, the players have now become tried and tested failures.

South africa bowlers were top class with their line and length... Shaheen and Naseem should rest... Naseem is soo over-hyped that I cannot even tell.. He has no improvement in his bowling but still end up playing games.

Pakistan specialist bowlers are not good enough including Abrar. He was bowling so many half trackers much like Shadab Khan. Atleast Shadab can field well and strike a few blows.

whether PCB drop Shaheen Afridi? Looks rare.... have seen many occasions, Shaheen Afridi smashed to all directions and also his failure to pickup wickets in PP. It seems PCB don't want to take on Shahid Afridi who is on their payroll

SA team is missing Markram and Klassen.

Rabada, Maharaj, Jansen

All prepping for the test series

Isnt this the norm in Pak cricket.. Hafeez , Malik , Misbah are all tried and tested failures only didnt they play for decades..

Well the potential of Pak is only that much and with continuous chopping and changing of players ,captain, selectors , chairman , what more do u expect... Suddenly Hesson comes and everything will glitter like gold, certainly not.

When these players come in raw , opposition doesnt have any footage , so tends to struggle but then later on thrash them all over the park and squeeze their balls when batting...

Its a fact Pak cannot compete with top tier cricketers and teams because the gap is humungous and it will take atleast 5 years of process/effort to rebuild, consistency, upskill and so on under watchful eyes certainly not under Aaqib..

Pak bowling is totally off colour ytd, Shaheen started the innings with a hit me ball..
They expected due to come in the second inns due to which they bat second but the bowling was completely trash club level..
No one knows why Faheem played ytd , didnt bowl at all and scored just 1 run... Usman Tariq could have debuted instead of him or they could have played another batsman in Abdul Samad...
