Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | Rawalpindi | 4th to 8th Feb

@Shahzad.Firdous praying hard for this, looks like his bookies are after him.

 

Excellent knocks Rizwan & uncle Norman.

Saffers are going about the chase with confidence though.

 

m

Wishful thinking but I hope SA wins and the momentum to remove MisQar gets stronger and eventually we get rid of them.

 

I think Taylor is very talented too. Babar and Taylor will have similar careers in the end.

 

Who is Norman yo

 

Stats wise?

Playing style not really. Ross has a very un orthodox technique.

 

Impact and stats wise yes.

In terms of technique Babar seems to look much better.

I think both of them could be so much more when you look at how they play but they seem to fall short of expectations. Both don't kick on as much as they should do

 

Very interesting day of cricket ahead of us!

All results possible

Let's hope Yasir and Nauman can spin us to victory inshallah. The South Africans made a very confident strat to the chase today, but we have seen throughout this series that they lose wickets in groups so we should keep optimistic and look for a breakthrough or two in the first session tomorrow

 

yeah this is probably what's gonna happen.
It's only a matter of couple of wickets that may perhaps happen before lunch, and this weak SA batting line will fall like flies.
I hope SA wins to that we have more support to fire MisQar for good.

 

Funny

 

Locking very good for South Africa. These two are batting well. Bowling looks flat. Scoring boundary an over. Could be over by next session.
Pakistan having another one of those chokes where they give up against sensible batting

 

Easy win for SA on the cards.

Pakistan will panic.

Pitch is better for batting than the 1st day.

 

Pakistan take the series 2-0. Some excellent fast bowling on display. Good to see.

 

Good to see fast bowlers taking some wickets finally.

 

Nice win.

 

LOL bookies haha... Bhai bookies se mera koi lena dena nahi...i predict only on basis of my life experience of watching cricket...

 

Another prediction of @Shahzad.Firdous failed as usual.

 

I can only give an outline map... i am not an astrologer,,,

 

If u take Rizwan - Nauman partnership and Hassan Ali performance out of this match, there was no way we could have won this match...

 

Chalein Rizwan Nauman partnership maan liya 1 partnership lag jati hai but Hassan Ali ki performance buhat extraordinary hai... Hassan Ali ki performance ke baghair hum kisi bhi tareeqe se yeh match nahi jeet sakte the imo...

 

Very good win for Pak. Great to see the fast bowlers firing.

 

As we predicted - the Pacers taking Pakistan to a comfortable victory hahaha

Mabrook everyone!

A much needed Test series win alhumdullilah!

 

You guys gave up too early

 

Another failed prediction bhai lol

Rehnde

 

People forget that Babar is still early in his career. They are comparing Inzi, Yousaf etc after 100+ tests to Babar after 30 odd tests.

I do admit though that he annoyed me when he got out second ball of the day after being 77 not out. I was expecting him to go on and get a hundred. He did the same thing in England over the summer. after being very well set the day before. Twice is enough to do that. I hope he won't do it again in his career. He has had a couple of disappointing series but disappointing because he hasn't scored a big hundred - he has actually been fairly consistent in terms of the runs he has scored.

 

Bhai score dekha tha 243 for 3 jab Hassan ne aur Shaheen ne out kiye hein,... Match was in South Africa's favor at that time... Hassan nahi hota aap yeh match haar gaye the...

 

Quinton De Kock ne buhat kharab shot maara hai imo... It was similar to Ganguly against Afridi in 2005 Banglore...

 

South Africa flopped badly after some sensible batting early on. Also Hassan got lucky with some of his wickets.

Can't blame us for giving up. Pakistan had a shocker vs England earlier too after what seemed like a won match

 

Hassan has worked on his bowling. Looking much better than before.

More energy he has brought. Some days he would look like a domestic trundler. Now even though he is bowling mid 130s it is threatening because of the rhythm, style of bowling etc he brings.
