South Africa finish Day 1 at 82/3 after Pakistan posted 211 in the first innings of the first Test match

[RedwoodOriginal]

What do you think of 200 total looks good tbh ball is swinging corners looks like pak has a decent score in first inning.

Not enough

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I reckon Markram one of the best in these conditions. His century against India earlier this year was a fine knock

 

[emranabbas]

Khurram not looking dangerous at all

 

[m.shah]

Abbas was finished three years ago . What is the point of playing him now.

 

[Rana]

Naseem inflated ego deflated

Not given the new ball

 

[Champ_Pal]

Khurram not looking dangerous at all

No swing and bowling at a hittable pace of 132-136k's.

 

[PakPremi]

This is actually true I think. I’m surprised I didn’t remember this but this did happen. Could have been Jaiswal tho

Not Jaswal, Saim said it but he worked against the team as next ball Abdullah got dismissed by Starc. Saim said himself in an interview to someone I cannot remember who but it is available on You Tube.

 

[RehanG]

121kph for Abbas..

 

[m.shah]

Abass bowling at 121 kph

 

[ExpressPacer]

Abbas already looking as innocuous as ever. 123 KPH is embarrassing at this level.

 

[RehanG]

The sun is out which will be not good for Pak.

 

[emranabbas]

We might have this, it's not exact a strong batting line up. Just need to bowl clever

Would even try spin after few overs

 

[IAJ]

Khurram should bring one in after setting him up

 

[emranabbas]

Why naseem isn't bowling? Better to try jamal and naseem

 

[ExpressPacer]

Women’s cricketers and part time bowlers like Shan Masood can bowl faster than this. I really question the quality of the pitches and batsmen that give this fraud of a bowler hundreds of wickets in County and QEA trophy.

 

[emranabbas]

Khurram looks diffrent with change of ball

 

[angrypathan]

138kph from Khurram, not bad

 

[shaz619]

The more I watch Babar Azam, the more apparent it is that he's the most overrated cricketer of all time.

I’ve given him plenty of stick, but I will say the biggest factor in his decline has been his friendship with Rizwan

 

[IAJ]

What a beauty! Ball of the year!

 

[Rana]

Hell of a ball

Ramiz was questioning why Naseem wasn’t given the new ball instead of Khurram

 

[emranabbas]

Target zori

 

[angrypathan]

Steyn from Temu delivers

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Allowing Dane Paterson to get a fiver is embarrassing I know the pitch suits his style of bowling but he's an absolute trundler!

I've watched him past couple of years for Notts and he's not impressive

Only good sign if Paterson can do it so can Abbas

Abbas is bowling worse than Paterson, not even reaching of 125.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I thought Khurram was looking innocuous?
Some of the posters here...

 

[emranabbas]

Yes yes got him

 

[Markhor]

Lovely dismissal.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to restrict Saffers to a lead of 50 if at all. Otherwise, they'll run away with it.

 

[emranabbas]

Steyn from Temu delivers

More like OLX

 

[Rana]

Terminator 2 villain Rickleton

 

[Seen Sheen]

Abbas v Markram would be interesting. Fancy an LBW dismissal.

 

[m.shah]

What a ball

 

[stani_pak]

Khurrum bowling in the right areas and gets a beautiful wicket

 

[emranabbas]

I thought Khurram was looking innocuous?
Some of the posters here...

I don't know who said it but if you watched from ball 1 he was. Change of ball has made a Hugh diffrence

 

[angrypathan]

Miss the days when Abbas could bowl those sorts of deliveries

 

[PakPremi]

Khuram always amongst the first bowler with wicket for Pakistan.

 

[IAJ]

Come on Abbas, a bit closer to the stumps

 

[ExpressPacer]

Miss the days when Abbas could bowl those sorts of deliveries

You must be living in an alternate universe because those days never existed.

 

[angrypathan]

Really hope Khurram can stay fit and string together a few matches, looked good in the game he played in Australia as well before the injury

 

[m.shah]

Hamza should have played instead of Abass

 

[IAJ]

Markram lucky there

 

[IAJ]

Hamza should have played instead of Abass

Sabr karo yaar, Abbas is bowling well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

IN terms of WTC final chance this match has more direct impact than India vs Australia. Should SA lose this one they will be in a pickle.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Abbas testing Markram's patience outside off.
A touch too wide for majority of that over.

 

[Devadwal]

Abbas is bowling with 124kmp speed. I think naseem should have Bowl along with Khurram.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In SA pitches you are never in.

 

[m.shah]

Sabr karo yaar, Abbas is bowling well.

Doesn't feel good when your opening bowler is bowling at 120 kph

 

[emranabbas]

Target rickleton

 

[angrypathan]

You must be living in an alternate universe because those days never existed.

Abbas bowled his fair share of jaffas before he was figured out/lost the little pace he had/injured his shoulder. There was a few against Australia in the UAE, Ben Stokes dismissal in England

 

[IAJ]

Shot!

 

[Devadwal]

IN terms of WTC final chance this match has more direct impact than India vs Australia. Should SA lose this one they will be in a pickle.

Pakistan don't have ability to win the series. They can win Max one test .

 

[emranabbas]

Not always about speed

 

[Seen Sheen]

I don't know who said it but if you watched from ball 1 he was. Change of ball has made a Hugh diffrence

I watched since the beginning. And no, he didn't looked innocuous. Markram played a nice straight drive but the length was very good. Better to be driven than cut.
Also not every ball could be menacing from a bowler.

 

[batandballbattle]

Bowlers have made a good start. Though I still think we have come up short, even on this deck

 

[IAJ]

Didn't look out

 

[angrypathan]

141kph

 

[Seen Sheen]

Didn't come back enough from that line. Would not even be umpires call I think.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Review wasted

Could see this even on first look

 

[emranabbas]

You must be watching a different game then

 

[IAJ]

Rizwaan yaar, what is this?

 

[Devadwal]

Missing or just clipping.

Poor reviews

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Khurram giving some Asif vibes.

Nice to see some classical bowling.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Terrible decision to use DRS.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseem will have to bowl well

Can't have him bowling all over and has to be the enforcer role short sharp bursts.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Very poor review. It looked like it was missing off by a foot or so.

 

[emranabbas]

Miles away rizwan need to take his sunglasses off

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What a brilliant review.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Match will be over on day 3.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Terrible decision to use DRS.

They're clueless when it comes to it most times.

 

[NeVerMind]

Loved the way K

Khurram giving some Asif vibes.

Nice to see some classical bowling.

Adjusting between the right and left handed very well

 

[Champ_Pal]

Naseem will have to bowl well

Can't have him bowling all over and has to be the enforcer role.

He should have taken the new ball. He is Pakistan's best bowler in the team. Pace and a bit of swing will be massive.
With Abbas and Khurram, batsmen will get that little fraction of a second to adjust.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They're clueless when it comes to it most times.

Yeah. How are they so bad at it? Did Rizwan convince Shan to go upstairs?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor delivery Abbas

Gets smashed 4 more

 

[DeadlyVenom]

That should be it for Abbas. Need Naseem on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Green pitch. No surprise. THey give one type of pitch in one dayer. They dramatically change it for Tests.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Pakistan don't have ability to win the series. They can win Max one test .

Sorry @Devadwal you had to carry your own weight.. Pak team can't help

 

[ethan hunt]

lol abbas is a freaking joke.

 

[Rana]

Markram boss backfoot batter!

 

[angrypathan]

Naseem should have gotten the new ball over Abbas. Abbas mainly relies on seam movement which he would still get as first change. Naseem moves it in the air a lot more

 

[emranabbas]

Can't let them build any partnership

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yeah. How are they do bad at it? Did Rizwan convince Shan to go upstairs?

They're all clueless as eachother get carried away.

Just think it's all hitting
