South Africa end Day 1 at 123/2 after bowling Pakistan out for 177

[Khwaja78]

No way. Shaheen is too inexperienced to get the new ball, as is evident by the floaters he bowls pretty much every over. Disappointed by the lack of short balls by Shaheen on this wicket. His natural length is surprisingly too full for a bowler of his height.

Still Shaheen would've bowl better on full length with the new bowl compared to Amir, this is how mediocre he was today. The decision of Hasan Ali not playing today really cost us

 

[786warrior]

From last 5-6 months PCT is not doing good. By considering your comment if PPers Agree than post will reduce by 90%.

Bro got a point!!! You gotta give him that MenInG

 

[Usman Chadda]

Full length that disappears for boundaries? Shaheen takes a bit of time to judge the wicket and adjust his length. Which is fair, considering his inexperience. But no way should he get the new ball, since he will waste it 9/10 times.

All of PP was on Hasan's case in the previous test, and now he is the saviour ) )

 

[Mueez]

123-7

5 wickets away lol.

 

[Hasan123]

Absolutely pathetic batting from our team yet again. Credit to Sarfraz and Shan who played well..But after this series we have to make changes to the batting line up.

Our bowling was very poor . The issue is we are giving away too many boundary balls. This isn't a strong SA batting line up and they have played our bowlers with ease. Very very poor performance.

 

[Khwaja78]

No he isn't. Edging through the slip cordon isn't called "being hit for 4".

Amir has the lowest economy, more maidens and a major wicket. What have the rest done?

It seems you aren't following Amir at all. That in-swing to right handers is the one thing he has retained from his 2010 days. I can give you a million examples of those dismissals. Check his tour game in comeback series (vs Surrey). His ODI wickets vs IRE and ENG. His dismissal of Cook and Hales throughout that comeback ENG tour. Then his 8-3 game against IND in Asia Cup. Then his 5-fer against WI and finally his greatest performance in the CT final.

In all of the above mentioned games the most common dismissal is the inswing to the right handers.

It's clear that you know nothing about Amir.

Can't argue and waste more time we have to move on as the whole team has been zilch but please find a delivery andput it here where the bowl nipped back in. I wasted my evening to see these jokers bowl the the first 7 overs. Amir could not bring the bowl the way he did in CT final. The bowl swung a bit and ended up on off stump, no bowl hit the seam and went onto middle stump. The 2 boundaries Markram scored in the ealy overs were punches of wide deliveries that hit the seam and did'nt swing although his wrist position was indicating he was looking to swing it in.

Anyone who is on the bench is the best according to some people.

 

[Buffet]

With this uneven bounce, I am getting worried batting last here. SA better score big in first go.

 

[BaankeJi]

SA to finish 121 for 2 down at stumps

Now how did you guess that!! This comment was posted 2 hrs before close.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Get them till 250 and we might have a chance.

You need to first understand the difference between seam and swing, mate.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The Boyz have complained to Micky that the test matches are getting in the way of the sight seeing - I think they have a safari booked on day 4 so plan to wrap this game by lunch day 3

Yes pretty much just what my dad said as well.

As for the last test, they may just say they're all sick.

 

[786warrior]

Hate seeing Pakistan bowl these days, so harmless and slow.

Looking forward to seeing some great batting from Babar next inning.

Oh right - he's saving it all for the 2nd innings - silly me, I thought he was getting paid to bat in both innings

Oh bhai why are you ignoring Abbas's total ineffectiveness today? He showed zero discipline. Released all the pressure at crucial moments. Amir should be the last guy to be blamed today.

Great minds!!!

 

[Varun]

Best bowling attack in the world had SA go at a conservative ODI rate. 123/2 after 30 overs.

What happened?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Great minds!!!

 

[Khwaja78]

Anyone who is on the bench is the best according to some people.

Has'nt Shan proved that? Is there any senior who has pulled the bowl with confidence like him.

Shan Masood performances as well as Pakistan A in UAE proved that selections of the national team are a joke to Pakistani nation.

The most outrage is no one is in pressure apart from Sarfraz. Shafiq and Azhar playing their same old game as PSL is to follow and Inzamam will select them as the next Test series is at some distance.

Changes needed in the system.

 

[Gullycricket]

SA to finish 121 for 2 down at stumps

Wow was close.Should do some betting

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sounds like something Kohli would say in banter

 

[Usman Chadda]

Think we all can agree on the basic fact that our batsmen soiled their pants on a decent batting track, and couldnt handle the short ball.

 

[a_tahir]

It's clear that you know nothing about Amir.

Exactly.
People are just hating on Amir for no apparent reason.
Look at how Abbas has been exposed today. Hopefully with a new batsman at one end, Abbas can get some wickets. But the match is, in all honesty, already out of Pakistan's hands.

 

[Khwaja78]

Oh bhai why are you ignoring Abbas's total ineffectiveness today? He showed zero discipline. Released all the pressure at crucial moments. Amir should be the last guy to be blamed today.

Amir is the frontline strike bowler he needs to get the blame, he shares responsiblity. Abbas is'nt 100% match fit and it can be seen. He is coming out of injury

 

[Tyler Durden]

I don't know who this Shan guy is, I'm seeing him for the first time but boy! He looks better than any of the superstars playing in that joke of a batting line up and his last ball wicket was a fantastic delivery! He's punching above his weight already and handy with his bowling too! Looks technically sound and is very consistent as well. Why the heck Pak never roped him early in the Test side? I see duds like Imam, Asad and Fakhar playing KL Rahul-seque shots and getting out cheaply. Damn! The likes of Pants, Viharis, Mayanks and Shaws would walk into this joke of a batting line up and get consistent with their decent 30s and 40s every innings!

 

[Gullycricket]

Amir is the frontline strike bowler he needs to get the blame, he shares responsiblity. Abbas is'nt 100% match fit and it can be seen. He is coming out of injury

Amir took 1 wkt and scored 22 not out.Abbas went at 5rpo

 

[UN talkz]

Hashim Bro is looking dangerous, have to get him out early tomorrow morning.

[Hadi Rizvi]

And he took the sole wicket among the strike bowlers.

Abbas not being match fit isn't Amir's or anyone's problem. Abbas should know if he can perform or not.

 

[Khwaja78]

Amir took 1 wkt and scored 22 not out.Abbas went at 5rpo

This honoring of lacklustre performances has resulted in Imam and Asad Shafiq being given a longer run which has devastated Pakistan cricket.

Now you don't even have a batting that can play 50 0vers. Its not about South Africa or Aus pitches but even in UAE in the 4th innings.

 

[MenInG]

CSA Media Release:

FAF DU PLESSIS had just about the perfect start to his new year as his four-man pace attack bowled out Pakistan inside 52 overs and his top three batsmen then went a long way towards giving the Standard Bank Proteas the first innings advantage on day one of the second Castle Lager Test match against Pakistan at PPC Newlands on Thursday.

It was always going to be a difficult decision for the Proteas to go into a Newlands Test match without a spin bowler and it was doubly important that the Proteas had the opportunity to bowl first which duly happened when Sarfraz Ahmed lost an important toss.

The result was that the Proteas were able to dismiss Pakistan for 177 in 52.1 overs with Duane Olivier (4/48) taking his tally for the series to 15 wickets. Indeed, had Quinton de Kock managed to hold on to a difficult running catch he would have had his third five-wicket haul in a row.

The other three seamers chipped in as well as did the men in the cordon behind the stumps with De Kock taking four catches and the only wicket not to fall to those in the catching area behind the stumps was that of Imam-ul-Haq who was trapped leg before wicket by Vernon Philander to give Newlands current favourite son his 50th wicket at his home venue.

In reply, the Proteas made the conditions look very comfortable for the batting side and, although Aiden Markram was dismissed off the last ball of the day by the part-time seam of Shan Masood, the game was very much in the home side’s favour as they closed off the day at 123/2 in only 30 overs for an overall deficit of just 54 runs.

Markram had by far his best innings of the summer to day (78 off 96 balls, 14 fours and a six), having shared partnerships of 56 for the first wicket with Dean Elgar and a further 67 for the second with Hashim Amla.

There was enough evidence in the second half of Pakistan innings to suggest that conditions were becoming a lot more suitable for batting as their captain, Sarfraz, shared successive partnerships of 64 with Masood and then a further 42 with Mohammed Amir.

Pakistan had struggled to 75/5 at lunch but for a long time it looked as though they might get through the afternoon session for the loss of just one further wicket. But it was not to be as the Proteas took the last five wickets in an extended middle session for 102 runs.

Sarfraz’s contribution of 56 (81 balls, 9 fours) was by far the biggest.

It has been a feature of Pakistan’s batting in the series that they have scored plenty of boundaries while losing plenty of wickets. Their boundary total today added up to almost 100 runs (22 fours and a six).

The Proteas have already hit 20 fours and a six in their reply but they have managed to build partnerships at the same time.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Now you don't even have a batting that can play 50 0vers. Its not about South Africa or Aus pitches but even in UAE in the 4th innings.

Zabardast yaar...when you don't have an answer to the bowling so you divert the topic.

Which poster here said that Shafiq should stay for the 2nd test?

Imam has hardly played much. Give him a chance.

 

[MMHS]

This is a wonderful Test wicket. Didn’t see SAF innings, but from scoring patterns I can say this would have been a close Test between two evenly matched teams without any impact of Toss and game going into day 5 still balance.

Ideal scores probably 353, 450, 319 - leaving chasing side with deficits of 222 for Day 5.

Don’t agree with Faf’s decision but don’t think either it’s going to be any issue.

When did I say changes are not needed?

Batsmen who fail every single time like Azhar and Asad need to be replaced but not Mohammad Amir surely.

He went to domestics and performed well, he is averaging 19 in Test cricket in last one year, he is the highest wicket taker for Pakistan in this series with the best average by far, he has the best economy, he is the only tail ender to score runs and remain not out but he is still bashed.

 

[Khwaja78]

Imam has played 15+ innings, how many chances does nephew need or the PPers like his uncle want him to be hit on the head. How many chances Usman Salahuddin, Khurram Manzoor or Fawad Alam got? Fawad Alam has played only 3 matches and hit a 168. Usman Salahuddin has played in 1 test after being selected and deselected for 5+ years.

Fawad Alam and Usman Salahuddin are not openers for God's sake.

We have to stop finding the correlation between the selection of Imam and non selection of Fawad.

Check Imam's 2nd innings record in each of the test matches he's played.

What are the averages of the newbie Olivier, Rabada and Steyn in comparison? Is'nt Amir one of the best bowlers in the world?
To take out a stat to prove a trash player who has demoralized the whole team to be the best thing to happen is happeing for a longtime on which I was trying to shed light on.

Hahahah so its just an opener thing. Openers have special privileges? Please stop making a joke of the team by trying to win arguments by establishing correlations or stats. we have suffered enough. Pakistan has not played 50 freaking overs in the 2nd innings for most of the 2017/18. They are collapsing like apack of cards. This game of stats to favor garbage is making us end up in a deep hole and even further.

 

[Usman Chadda]

[AZulfi]

Another test but same old story

Same brittle batting. A side that finds it hard to score 200 in a test innings will continue to struggle against good teams in test cricket

Perhaps Pakistan should take a break from test cricket until they seriously sort out their batting problems (which btw seems to be perennial)... just like Zimbabwe did in the past

This test wil also likely finish inside 3 days

What are you even talking about?

Oliver, Steyn and Rabada don't bowl to pathetic batsmen in Imam, Asad etc

Neither are Rabada, Steyn waiting in Pakistan domestics, so you can only compare Amir with Pakistani bowlers among which he has been best.

If Amir had bowled to our batsmen hr would have achieved a fivefer by now.

Ok give me the names of the Guptills, Amlas and Cooks waiting in domestics to replace Imam.

"Garbage" took you to 100-1 in the last test on a bowling pitch.

We all know who's collapsing like a pack of cards, alright. Blame the "talented/experienced/senior" guys who're meant to be the spine of the batting order.

We need to start Saad, Saud and Rizwan in our next lineup ASAP. Atleast with them we have a fighting chance.

[Hadi Rizvi]

We have Saad, Rizwan and Saud who are better than the current hacks that we’re playing with.

So bring them in the middle order where they should be.

Replace Azhar and Asad. Send them to domestics and make them grind their place back.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I agree they should be given a chance now that our current batsmen fail every time, at least they can score more than these jokers.

I agree they should be given a chance now that our current batsmen fail every time, at least they can score more than these jokers.

India has allready started introducing their youngsters in their odi and test lineup to replace Dhoni like Shaw, Gill and Pants and we are still persisting with oldies like Shafiq and Azhar.

 

[ILcricket]

Did not see the last ball dismissal . Hosts on course to get 300+ unless the pitch falls apart which is more bad news for visitors .

 

[adil_909]

Disgusting batting performance as usual. It's a shame that it's been over a decade and we haven't been able to replace Inzi, Yousuf, and Younis as three solid middle order batsmen. Yes hard to replace top quality players but seriously its been over 10 years now! Administration needs to take a good hard look at itself to see why we haven't produced a single top quality batsmen in ages.

Also batsmen should take some responsiblity. Instead of playing useless t20 leagues why don't these guys go play domestic cricket in australia and SAF? Work on their skills. Address their weaknesses. No passion to get better, nobody willing to take personal responsibility for improvement, everyone just praying for a miracle. Welcome to Pakistan

 

[Greenstorm]

Poor batting is a norm for us but our bowling today was embarrassing. Amir has turned into a complete trundler.

Leave this obsession of india and virat.

That's the problem with Pakistan team right now. Matches are not won by intimidation and tall heights. Otherwise Sachin would have been a unknown entity while Mohd Irfan would be greatest bowler in the history.

U guys focus too much on the India Pakistan encounter, and in the end land up losing to Bangladesh or lower ranked teams. That's the problem with the fans as well as players.

The irrational criticism that players of Pakistan team get by former greats and fans is absolutely absurd. Most of the time Capatain is pressed as if playing his last match. Coach is under threat so is Chairman. Pathetic... .. Feel sorry for the players.

 

[a_tahir]

If Fakhar bats at 6, he might actually be good considering the ball is at least 25-30 overs old before he comes.

Pakistan is already out of this match, so tweaks in the batting order will help for the next match.

Has a pakistani hurt you or something?
Why are u so triggered?

All this "pakistanis are obsessed with indians" is true vice versa as well.
Look all around twitter, they are bombarding pakistanis with abuse just because they are losing.
Stop acting like u don't care.

 

[PakLFC]

Said so yesterday that we won't even score 200. Can't expect our team to win any matches with such a terrible batting line up. We lost to NZ at "home", defeated the Aussies and are now gonna lose to RSA rather easily. Been a very poor period for our Test side. I am not kidding when I say other B team batsmen are much better the our Test ones. No one is dealing with the core issue that is our awful batting.

 

[Ami]

I cant believe some people are slagging off our bowling now...

Our bowling is the only candle that's been burning bright in the last 30 years, whatever the format.

As for as I can remember, we've never had world beaters in batting.

People who go all ga-ga about Inzy and Yousuf etc and Anwar...and MisYu lark? I was there! They were never or hardly a collective success just random run scorers.

I dont recall too many matches won by them...it was always the bowlers.

People like Wasim, Waqar, Mushy and Saqlain and latterly Shoaib and Asif worked their backsides off in the 90s and 2000 to help Pak win a few matches.

Even the recent ascent to no.1 status in tests came up on the back of our bowlers.

And in the 80s...it was Miandad the lone lone ranger who always stood tall with all the pathetics around him.

So, before you start dragging Pakistan's only bright spot in the past few decades, whatever success we've ever had its been largely down to our bowlers.

And, please dont embarrass yourself or me by asking to provide records...people who have followed cricket over the years, know what I'm talking about!

 

[PakLFC]

Bowling is fine, its one of the best in the world. The batsmen never back them up by giving them anything to defend.

 

[sunny85]

On the contrary its opposite. For Players and fans - beating Aus in Aus and to beat hopefully arrogant English in their turf would be bigger challenge and much more satisfying.

Pakistan was out of radar at least for me, but that Champion trophy final did trigger some spark. Sadly though Asia cup settled that.

So if u ask me - beating Arrogant Englishmen in their home against that donkey racist media would be more important.

As far as Indian fans attacking u people on Twitter or other forums is considered, but that's what trend is.
Don't former players and fans start saying absurd things about India before every match. Infact before every match it's always PakistNi players who give absurd comment more than their stature. If India is performing badly Pakistan fans also do similar thing. So nothing new.

Remember some Wasim or ABC guy who barely played 2 tests for pakistan saying Virat kohli is coward and ran away.. from asia cup .... Forgot his name

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Pakistan deserve this for dropping Hasan. He kept Markram quiet in the 1st match and exposed his weakness.

 

[ManFan]

Pakistan deserve this for dropping Hasan. He kept Markram quiet in the 1st match and exposed his weakness.

I think being 5-51 inside 20 overs has more to do with our despairing situation than not playing Hasan.

Although as much as I like Hasan, let’s wait until SA have finished their first innings to decide.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

123-7

The score is right
