Saddaf should be a definite choice against SA

From cricinfo thoughts??

I dont think you can say that Zimbabwe are ahead by scores, but mentally, they are ahead. Pakistan scored 240ish in the first match and this was a more difficult pitch.

However, as we wall know zimbabwe are masters at snatching defeat from the hands of victory, it would be wrong to assume that they should win even if they make Pakistan follow on. However, with taylor back into side, I think Zimbabwe can remain positive

 

[Sledger]

Last ball..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Thtz the end of the days play

 

[Executioner]

I thought Zimbabwe would score 200 at most, looks like they have done much better than you expect. Some quality batting from the legendary taylor and masakadza

 

[CrowingRooster]

237-8 at Stumps.

 

[Sledger]

237/8. Stumps.

 

[Justcrazy]

Thats the end

237 / 8

 

[Wattoo]

wont lie adnan's been really bad behind the stumps this tour , if its a break then please get Mohammad Rizwan

Adnan did good keeping during this tour, Please dont be baised becasue of his bro keeping.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Very good bowling by Junaid today.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good batting as well by Taylor and Masakadza.

 

[Wattoo]

237/8 is not a bad total considering this pitch and pakistan's batting.
