South Africa end Day 3 of the 1st Test on 187/4 with a lead of 29 runs

Both batsmen were playing so well today before they decided to play cross batted slogs.

Ive notices they have lost sense after victory against aussies

Heck South Africa are trash.

Their ranking flatters them.

Well played so far, Pakistan.

They are not particularly strong at home either now. Australia have a good chance of beating SA 2-0 or 3-0 and qualifying for the WTC final. Unless SA makes them green mambas, I dont think they stand a chance against Austraiia.
 
Saffas r not trash they have match winning players .....it's lack of experience that is hurting them

Nope SA is not trash. They are playing their full strength team. No excuses for them. It is just that Pakistan is playing really well, looking solid at home and made South Africa look like Zimbabwe. I have been saying it for so many years that Pakistan playing at their real home will really develop their players. :inti

I doubt that......Rabada Nortje Abbot....if he returns will destroy this Aussie line up

They have done more than enough buddy......u don't have a face to tell them when u r playing Deadwood like Abid and previously Shan

I understand man. But dont u think they could have scored more if they continued to play like they were. At least should have tried. Last innings can be a completely different ball game sometimes especially for Pak
 
I told many times SA spinners are very mediocre, they will continue to struggle unless they get proper spinners

Our 36/9 will be in danger if they do that against Cummins and Hazlewood. :))
 
SA need big big effort to come back in the game , they need at least 400 here , which will be very tough , Pakistan need to make sure they do not drop catches here

Australia have a chance ?

Aussies will beat this SA on any kind of surface
 
One thing is certain Pak pacers need to come to the fore.....not pleased with Saheen.....since Nz....not showing consistency......he is not using his height too.....
 
Markham is due. Elgar is always gritty and Faf thrives in these situation. We might not win, but I hope they put on a worthy fight.
 
South Africa's top order is averaging one of the highest in world, yet Indians will tell us SA is trash.

It is easier to tell from outside bro....but lower order bats generally have high Adrenalin whenever they see some scoring options
 
Azhar avgs highest as opener since 2016 albeit small sample but still he needs to open for better combination.

SA can win but they have to perform like winners , Can they bat like Dravid and Laxman did against Aussies ?

If you want to win you need to be desperate and perform like winners , let them get 450 here , Pakistan would loose.
 
Hasan Ali - will be surprised if he is retained for the next game - looks out of sorts?
 
Useless to give ball to pacers now....even with new ball..... After few overs give to spinners
 
Pakistan must keep it tight , if we get a wicket with the pacers it’s a bonus , there main job is not to leak runs

Home umpiring.... :ashwin

I remember the 2012 ind vs pak series the Indian umpires actually gave so many decisions in our favour that weren’t even out I was pleasantly surprised. But ahsan Raza is an extremely good umpire very under rated hardly gets a decision wrong that’s why icc have hired him.
 
Isn't it supposed to be spring/early summer in Pakistan too?

Why is it so smoggy out there? :jimmy
 
Hassan doesn't look threatening. Pace is down. Poor line.

I was expecting he'd be running in and attacking the stumps
 
What is going on with Hasan Ali? He just doesn't look like he wants to be there. He was doing fine in the Q Trophy matches.
 
If you apply yourself here , on this pitch you can get runs , that is what Test cricket is all about. Patience and application.
 
Hassan Ali will get better, this is not a pitch where you expect him to make in roads.

But he must be disciplined here.
 
It’s a tragedy that our 5’10” bowler has a better bouncer than our 6’5” bowler.
