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

[Asad T]

What will happen and what you want to happen are two different things. They won’t drop the captain and they can’t drop Babar on his first match back. What then? 4 days to go though. We may well win this. Abbas will be lethal here.

I think it will happen in 2025 unless he gets back-to-back hundreds or something like that

 

[PakPremi]

Kamran just threw his wicket away, he started playing for fun instead of taking responsibility.

He managed to get distracted by SA sledging.

 

[Hellion]

South Africa should be really worried. Their tall, high pace bowlers have been ineffective compared to Paterson

Basically, the entire PAK attack is short and slow just like Paterson

 

[mominsaigol]

I'm afraid you have been proven wrong plenty of times by Rizwan and he does play enough off isde shots,saying 0 shows how dishonest you are when it comes to Rizwan.

Their is no dishonesty. The dishonest people are those who foolishly believe he's a good player. The even more delusional are the ones who have claimed that he's the 2nd best odi batter for pakistan all time.

And finally the most delusional ones are those who believe that rizzu stands a chance vs Travis .

A medicore player in test + odi and a rubbish player in t20. That is the reality.

Idc if you want to accept it or not. Not my job to convince you.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Meanwhile Pakistan has a pace attack which operates between 125-138kph.

 

[Asad T]

Ramiz critiquing someone Haysman's commentary. Irony must be dead

Haysman: Rabada has been good in patches
Ramiz: A bit like your commentary

 

[Rana]

Ramiz critiquing someone Haysman's commentary. Irony must be dead

Did you manage to pick up the “strategy” he was on about against Medium Pacers in NZ?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Meanwhile Pakistan has a pace attack which operates between 125-138kph.

4 out of 6 wickets have been taken by the guy who bowls at 125-127

 

[kron]

Haysman: Rabada has been good in patches
Ramiz: A bit like your commentary

woooah. really? he said that?

lol.

 

[Rana]

Haysman is a different commentator during SA home Test matches. It’s like he’s one of the Saffers on the field

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 out of 6 wickets have been taken by the guy who bowls at 125-127

Exactly because at 35 he's realised that bowling at 145kph wasn't getting him anywhere.

Since he's dropped 20kph, and put on 5kg of weight he's got more effective in the twilight of his short test career.

 

[PakPremi]

@PakPremi Am I still wrong about rizwan?

Next time word of advice, wait till he scores a 50 or century before pinging me thanks and warm regards.

What? Rizwan did well, though 50 would had been good but it's not always about landmarks, Pakistan could had easily been out for under 100 had Rizwan not batted sensibly with Kamran G

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Did you manage to pick up the “strategy” he was on about against Medium Pacers in NZ?

Yeah he went on and on and then didn't even tell what the strategy was

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haysman is a different commentator during SA home Test matches. It’s like he’s one of the Saffers on the field

He's a Saffer after all

 

[kron]

i cant stand trundlers. somebody just smash this trundling slow coach paterson out of this park.

 

[kron]

He's a Saffer after all

i thought haysman was from australia lol.

 

[angrypathan]

He's a Saffer after all

He’s Australian actually

 

[Asad T]

Their is no dishonesty. The dishonest people are those who foolishly believe he's a good player. The even more delusional are the ones who have claimed that he's the 2nd best odi batter for pakistan all time.

This is Riz's ODI record in various countries. He is ok in Asia, but crap outside of it -- on slower asian pitches, he can survive, even thrive, with his iffy technique, but in SENA he is actually terrible and the stats highlight this really well.

 

[Rana]

Yeah he went on and on and then didn't even tell what the strategy was

That’s what I thought

He had to repeat himself to emphasise there was a strategy, but never told us what it was.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Haysman: Rabada has been good in patches
Ramiz: A bit like your commentary

No, he mistakenly said that Tea is one over away, and then self-corrected and said it was 30 mins away.

To which, Ramiz out of nowhere said: 'your commentary has been a bit like Rabada today: good in patches.'

I just went, really? you, of all people are going to critique somebody else's commentary?

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Agha walking down to Paterson to nullify his dibbly dobblers. Love him. Such an intelligent player.

Quite refreshing to see. I tuned in not long ago, I wonder if any other of the previous batters employed this tactic towards Patterson.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He’s Australian actually

He's born there but more Saffer than he is Australian as he played more and lives in SA.

 

[PakPremi]

When these guys say to me “you are right about XYZ player but wrong about Rizwan”

I sip on my tea and think,

The people who are wrong about Rizwan are those who argue he is a GOAT/Legendary status/ world class is based on the random 50 he scores after so many failures and below par innings in the big matches and the crucial batting positions he demands for himself.

The guy is an absolute con artist, and he has plenty of people to promote his con on social media

Not many say you are right about XYZ either, your supported players are horrendous : Mohd Haris, Sharjeel, Asif Ali etc.

 

[Asad T]

And guess who will be made captain?

 

[Rana]

Exactly

He is rewarded due to the failures of others whilst he fails himself

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

South Africa test losses at Centurion:

v India 2021
v Australia 2014
v England 2000

23 wins.

 

[Fazzy321]

Need to counter attack here there is no point in defending and getting all out for 190. We ain’t gonna score 250 here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dropped again

 

[angrypathan]

Thank you Stubbs

 

[Asad T]

Exactly

He is rewarded due to the failures of others whilst he fails himself

to be honet, i don't mind him so much in Test cricket or ODI's
Just T20's he has no justification to be in the team

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need to counter attack here there is no point in defending and getting all out for 190. We ain’t gonna score 250 here

And we need 250 here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's a shot Jamal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Damn it gone the next

Dragged it back into the stumps

 

[castortroy]

Another wicket given away

 

[Seen Sheen]

No, he mistakenly said that Tea is one over away, and then self-corrected and said it was 30 mins away.

To which, Ramiz out of nowhere said: 'your commentary has been a bit like Rabada today: good in patches.'

I just went, really? you, of all people are going to critique somebody else's commentary?

Oh God, unbelievable that, he, out of all the people, says something like that.
I am so waiting for the day this clown Rambo is stopped hiring by the broadcasters around the world.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

so unlucky

boy did well

 

[Deewana Mastana]

189-7

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Jeffrey Dahmer strikes again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh God, unbelievable that, he, out of all the people, says something like that.
I am so waiting for the day this clown Rambo is stopped hiring by the broadcasters around the world.

Worst is he thinks he's being funny with that.

 

[topspin]

I was about to say lovely cut shot from Aamer Jamal but he's just followed that up with one dragged on to his stumps. Poor shot selection.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Time for Salman to farm the strike and get some vital runs.

 

[khyberlion]

Story of our cricket. Losing wickets when in control.

 

[Rana]

Let’s hear Naseem telling Salman how to bat here

 

[emranabbas]

Jamalghota gone too

 

[Markhor]

Cycle repeating itself in this innings. Ride our luck, play a few good shots before getting out to a poor shot.

 

[Markhor]

Jeffrey Dahmer strikes again

He looks like Nailz.

Gave Jamal a bit of a sendoff. Hope he returns the favour with the ball.

 

[kron]

rabada
jansen
nortje
burger
coetze

first choice

back up
ngidi
bosch
paterson
olivier


not bad at all. very strong depth. although outside main 5 its a bit poor i guess. but even having 5 players who can start for your team is great. most teams dont have it.

aus outside big 3/4 bowlers is crap
india outside bumrah shami and perhaps akashdeep is crap too.

england without carse and the atkinson dude is poor
nz without rourke, sears and jamieson is poor.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bosch could get a 5fer against the tail.

 

[kron]

He looks like Nailz.

Gave Jamal a bit of a sendoff. Hope he returns the favour with the ball.

yea i wanted to knock him out for that little outburst. hope one of the bowlers bounces that pos .

 

[castortroy]

5 wickets for Paterson

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Paterson gets a 5fer instead.

Agha gone

Pak to get rolled over for 200.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Paterson gifted a fifer here today.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Worst is he thinks he's being funny with that.

Exactly. That giggle tops it all off.

 

[angrypathan]

Only the Saim wicket was a good delivery

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Paterson gifted a fifer here today.

He's at the twilight now.

 

[Fazzy321]

What a horrendous innings by Pak so much for a good batting lineup

 

[topspin]

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

 

[Seen Sheen]

With total bunnies in next, I think Pakistan won't even get to 200 unless Naseem starts hitting it from now on.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 for Bosch

Naseem gone 189-9

200 doesn't look like happening

 

[khyberlion]

Salman needs to improve his game against short bowling. Seen him get out so many times playing the pull.

 

[Rana]

Rubbish coverage

They went for an add and another wicket fell

 

[castortroy]

Standard innings by pak in SA

 

[RehanG]

nice..

from a good foundation to absolutely nowhere.

 

[Markhor]

Even 200 looking a mission now.

 

[Asad T]

Bosch needs to get a buzz cut, or hair transplant

 

[Seen Sheen]

Jamal's chop on has meant Pakistan will end up around 50 runs below par.

 

[NeVerMind]

Rubbish coverage

They went for an add and another wicket fell

I call it a blessing!

 

[castortroy]

When was the last time a pak team scored a considerable score in the first innings in Australia or SA?

 

[Rana]

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

Bro I would slightly disagree here. I think the most overrated cricketer of all time is Rizwan

It’s like hyping up Nicklas Bendtner as if he is Patrick Klievert

 

[batandballbattle]

Some really soft dismissals today. Ball has misbehaved a little but we have made the pitch look much better than it is

 

[kron]

tapallll dandedarrrrr
lets all have some.

 

[Rana]

Both Abbas and Khurram have served Pakistan as nightwatchmen in the past to protect Babar MashaAllah

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He looks like Nailz.

Gave Jamal a bit of a sendoff. Hope he returns the favour with the ball.

lmao yes he does

 

[DeadlyVenom]

pitch has some juice, lets bowl now.

 

[PakPremi]

I was hoping for 200+.Damn!
Abbas can defend for ever but Khurum likely to be out soon.

 

[RidiculousMan]

If I'm Abbas. I'm getting run out. Ain't giving 2 5-fers in a day

 

[Rana]

Spicy Test match

Watch Pakistan just use Kamran Ghulam to sledge SA whilst the rest all hide behind

Whereas all of SA have been taking digs into Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 wickets for Paterson or 5fer for Bosch

What do you guys want ?

 

[Markhor]

When we bowl, which is any minute now, we better be all over these SAF players with hostility. Properly give it back to them.

We don't have high pace but this pitch is doing so much there's no excuse not to take min. 3 wickets before stumps.

 

[RexRex]

Pakistan are getting annihilated here. Love the crowd and atmosphere.
