South Africa reach 51/2 in chase of 277-run target at stumps on Day 3 of the first Test against Pakistan

[Rana]

That doesnt even make sense . Since you have to be a T20 batsmen to play test as test will improve your technique for t20.

But test specialists find it harder to transition into odi and t20 since their not use to the different ball, PP rules and the timelimit of overs.

I've heard of t20 specialists becoming goats in test cricket like Warner, I've never heard of the opposite, Test specialists becoming good batters in t20.

Root, Steve Smith, Williamson are all terrible batters at international t20. Steve Smith os only good in BBL provided he plays on his 2 favourite grounds, Melbourne and Sydney. Otherwise hes crap in BBL at any other venue.

There are credible journalists who have said that Babar was told by selectors to produce one good score in the Test series for him to get the nod in T20s


That’s how pathetic the selection process is in Pakistan. They are so easily overawed by media+fan pressure

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan batting all day today would have enough score to bat SA out of the match.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Has this pitch turned into minefield yet?

 

[mominsaigol]

If Saud can get rid of his stupid lack of concentration brain fades and soft dismissals, he can really flourish as a subcontinent batsmen.

This dude is next level when it comes to handling spin. His 100 vs England at home is by far his best innings.

Next game please get Kamran Ghulam in for Babar as well. Babar is an obvious weak link.

Id like Ghulam in for Abdullah though but I dont think Pcb will want Ghulam to open

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pathetic shot to get out... Saud the mentally weak guy

 

[hamzie]

but why

 

[Ahmed216]

Saud's mental frailties coming to the fore again. 2 minutes to go to Tea

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

SAUD!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!?????

 

[Rana]

Soft dismissal

 

[BouncerGuy]

If you want to run agendas for players who should be in the T20i side to tackle spin in the middle,

You should be running it for Saud Shaqeel.

Yeah,, we saw how he got out 2 out of 2 times now...

So he needs one good knock in a format where overs aren't a concern and the criteria to win is to bat long and and tire the opposition to gain entrance into a format where the goal is to play as fast as possible and post 200+ totals?

 

[Ahmed216]

Again up to Kaptana and Salmana to consolidate

 

[Rana]

Yeah,, we saw how he got out 2 out of 2 times now...

You are happy because he’s a player I like?

Bro

I honestly never took online jinx seriously, until I encountered your posts.

You have a knack for turning every positive into a negative.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why are the batsmen in any hurry? There is much time in the game. Gave away tge wicket.

Relax guys, saud got out cause of me.

[BouncerGuy]

No i am angry at the shot he played.. 2 min into tea... 3-4 balls to be played and he chose to be a mentally weak guy...

 

[Rana]

That’s literally how stupid things become when it comes to Rizwan and Babar PR.

Rizwan’s keeping will be highlighted, how he should be in the T20 team because “at least he’s a better keeper than Harris”

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Babar will not score 50 in second test either.

Crowd cheering Shan Masood wicket twice is cringy as F

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Saud has good ability but not good cricket sense or ability to handle pressure.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

I would like to see someone else play now instead of this Saud guy.

Enough chances for him.

 

[PakPremi]

Bro

This is why I told him not to predict for Pakistan because he ends up jinxing them.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar azam gets out these days usually because he fails to judge the seam and length of the ball.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I would like to see someone else play now instead of this Saud guy.

Enough chances for him.

Come on man he has a SOLID record lol why the rush to drop him?

Not every player can be a miandad or younis khan. In amonsgt the greats you need some good or very good players in the mix. Saud will fall into that category for Pakistan, a solid test bat without being a great of the game.

 

[Asad T]

what a way for Saud to get out at the stroke of tea

need to try to hustle about 50 more runs in this innings i think

 

[BouncerGuy]

Should take the lead past 340-350 min... These saffers cannot be taken lightly.

I'm starting to genuinely believe this jinx is real. It started as a joke but now its a genuine concern.

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan needs to score only once in 10 innings to negate Harris batting too. I rather a youngster is given a chance then either of them thougj.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Chota Shakeel doesn't have the power to clear boundaries at will. When will he realize this?

Time and time again he has thrown wickets like this in crucial moments.

 

[mominsaigol]

Again up to Kaptana and Salmana to consolidate

You don't have to worry, they have been Pakistan's best batters this test and can read the conditons well.

I'm certain they'll extend the lead to 300

 

[Rana]

You don’t have to lie.

You can openly say Rizwan should be in T20s.

Zyada mehnat na Kar.

oh bas karyaar, after your certainty, we are surely doomed now.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Bro is this enough runs now i think i don't see south africa getting over 200 here

 

[Rana]

Why are Pakistan fans so nervous?

Sajid and Noman are running through this lot. We’ve got plenty on the board.

 

[batandballbattle]

Despite the brainfade we are still looking good here
Pitch is only going to get tougher, 300 plus lead should put this beyond any doubt

 

[Rana]

60 Test matches

9 hundreds

That’s like Paul Collingwood level. Not Inzimam/Miandad level.

 

[mominsaigol]

oh bas karyaar, after your certainty, we are surely doomed now.

Bhai, I've never had an issue with rizwan in test. He's genuinely a good batter in test cricket and has played match saving knocks before?

And i said it from the start, Pakistan is easily winning the 1st test. SA is doomed. Don't worry, nothing will happen.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro is this enough runs now i think i don't see south africa getting over 200 here

I'll breathe a sigh of relief once PK crosses 300 lead.

 

[mominsaigol]

60 Test matches

9 hundreds

That’s like Paul Collingwood level. Not Inzimam/Miandad level.

I take every Babar record with a grain of salt. Excluding the Karachi test, 7 out of his 8 home hundreds have been on dens where Brook and Usman Khawaja mauled Pakistan into oblivion.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Markram should get back Rabada. He can get Rizwan and Salman early with inside or outside edge

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pakistan should bat as if they don't have a lead. Make a big score and completely take the game away.

He doesn't even make as top 10 batters for Pakistan in Test Cricket

Mere Rizzu Symonds ko koi kuch nahi kahega!

Bottler!

Tu Khel le T20!!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Simon harmer has 987 FC wickets.

 

[Omer2002]

Saffers will win this i am telling you despite we winning the toss which is rather embarassing. Hasan Ali shouldnt have played instead of abrar

 

[DeadlyVenom]

what a shocker what a complete embarassment of a dismissal, bowled from around the wicket

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Saffers will win this i am telling you despite we winning the toss which is rather embarassing. Hasan Ali shouldnt have played instead of abrar

we are in a dangerous position man, really need to grind out runs and time here these guys are throwing it away

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Shaheen needs to contribute with the bat this innings. Need 50/60 runs from him

 

[Rana]

Shaheen needs to contribute with the bat this innings. Need 50/60 runs from him

Ab bol Saud ke barey main!!!!

 

[RidiculousMan]

That was not a "yes is a two" or "ye a gaya range mein"

 

[Ahmed216]

C'mon guys get that lead up to 300

 

[JibranAnsari]

Famous victory loading for south africa

 

[DeadlyVenom]

commies are overstating how good the ball is, but Rizwan played it miserably, it looked awful

 

[Rana]

Simon harmer has 987 FC wickets.

Cheetah

 

[Rana]

Harmer what a beauty yaar.

 

[castortroy]

Why did afridi come in. The guy is a fully fledged number 11

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just seen the score, Pak flopping in the 2nd inns as usual

Saffer spinners eating them up

 

[Ali Active]

shaheen should have slogged instead of reversing

 

[Ahmed216]

Wickets again going down in a flurry

 

[neonoir]

Why did afridi come in. The guy is a fully fledged number 11

Lol

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Shaheen needs to contribute with the bat this innings. Need 50/60 runs from him

SHAHEEN!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen can't even hold up an end or bat out

 

[Rana]

SAUD!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!?????

Where is this frustration for your Rizwan!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Highest ever successful chase in Lahore is 209. Not sure why DV bhai and others are being so pessimistic.

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen needs to contribute with the bat this innings. Need 50/60 runs from him

Has any Pakistani batsman scored 50/60 runs in the second innings?

Pakistan was lucky to win the toss .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anything under 300 or around is Saffers game hence why I said earlier that Pak needed 350 minimum.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Ab bol Saud ke barey main!!!!

Yeah he's a mental midget. Not an international level player. Aur kuch?

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen afridi's doesn't like to stay at the crease much. Think he doesn't enjoy batting at all.
If he somehow plays 10-15 he slogs his way to the pavillion

 

[Rana]

Man has one good shot and that’s throwing the kitchen sink to mid wicket…

**Plays against the spin to reverse**

 

[Devadwal]

Highest ever successful chase in Lahore is 209. Not sure why DV bhai and others are being so pessimistic.

Yes South Africa will not score more 150 on this turner

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Highest ever successful chase in Lahore is 209. Not sure why DV bhai and others are being so pessimistic.

Because Saffers aren't folding over like England while there's 2 full days.

 

[Theo_14]

Best to attack given the circumstances, no point defending and losing wickets in the process.

 

[Rana]

Yeah he's a mental midget. Not an international level player. Aur kuch?

Haan tera Rizwan tou phir UNIVERSE level player hai???

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Where is this frustration for your Rizwan!!!!!!!!!

Rizwan has wayyyyy more credit in the bank.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shaheen can't play spin to save his life and they sent him above the likes of Noman and Sajid and Hasan!?

Ridiculous

 

[RyanRyan10]

Poster Boy Of Pakistan Cricket has arrived to take them to a match winning total

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rizwan has wayyyyy more credit in the bank.

Like wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more credit in the bank lol

 

[Omer2002]

Saud shot with 2 balls left to tea was a disgrace..rizzy no idea what you are doing and i know Abdullah was being agressive but still and Imam oh my days 2nd ball you face.

Now imagine above 4 dismissals you think saffers will gift you them ..No as they will grind it out!!
