Junaid and Ajmal i am confident will do well in SA. Junaid should give their 2 openers plenty of trouble while Ajmal is likely to clean up the tail regularly. Gul should go decently too, and produce one spell out of nowhere.

Batting is a worry though, as they are not really suited to those conditions and that bowling attack. Predicting a couple of sub 150 collapses from them atleast and one thrashing. In the other 2 matches SA will win one more closely while Pakistan can win one. So 2 - 1 or 3 - 0 if all matches are completed.

If i have to pick one going to pick 2 - 1.

totally agree

Ah yea, finally. Real cricket.

pakistan have a pretty decent team, all things considered, a team to be quite proud of given the past few years.

so theres no shame in not being good enough to beat a pretty awesome outfit like south africa, if they even draw the series it will be one heck of a result.

philander vs azhar ali should be a great contest, a boring one, but also at the same time a good one

irfan is a tantalizing choice, you want to choose the guy because he does have height and pace going for him, not sure if he can stand the rigor.

fascinating read on Irfan

Junaid ready for ‘world-class’ South Africa | Cricket | DAWN.COM

is he now?

Btw I thought Junaid had more wickets but apparently he has only 27 wickets from 8 test matches.

Agent Nationaux · 19-01-2013, 10:16 AM

Here's hoping that this will change and that he will get a lot of wickets against RSA. Average is still good (26) but obviously way too early to say anything more on that.

Agent Nationaux · 19-01-2013, 10:17 AM

South Africa will be his biggest Test and it's good to see that he is doing his homework against their top order.

Lets hope you are right Nostradamelocity.

Philander has been passed fit for the first test at least after having recovered from a hammy problem.

Agent Nationaux · 20-01-2013, 06:12 AM

I want us to play against the best XI RSA can field. Don't want our FTBs to be spared the onslaught.
