Gosh I am so happy I don't have to watch Ali bat from work.

Misbah still to come though

Philanders first first class wicket since the last time he got Ali out.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

South Africa desperate for 3 more wickets today.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Manzoor ripe for the picking, getting a bit too attacking in pursuit of the 100.

Not bad

Ten more required from the match to become the second fastest to 100 wickets.

btw is the forecast for the match good? SA are paying $7 ffs.

I made a bet when you made this post and I've greenbooked on it already. Cheers Riggins.

Well batted young man.

What does greenbooked mean?

I went to get on it but online betting was locked out, and my phone is on the bed. Seemed like too much effort.

well, it seems Philander might not be so bad on slower tracks after all.

South Africa need a spinner to be a great side don't they. Not sure Robin Peterson is good enough to be a second spinner, let alone a front liner.

 

[Briony]

On these sort of pitches yes, in SA it does not faze them because their quicks can be effective.

 

[smash84]

If South Africa can get rid of Misbah and Manzoor then they are pretty much into the tail after that

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Robbie P has been a phenomenal weakness.

 

[smash84]

add shafiq to the list.......the 2nd new ball is coming up soon so SA will be looking forward to it. They will be hoping to get one of these guys with this old ball and then get 2 more quick strikes from the 2nd new ball

Yes, great teams win everywhere though. Really is what sorts the very good from the great. South Africa could well win here because of how weak Pakistan's batting is but India for example would be extremely difficult for them to win with Peterson as there lead spinner.

dude, remember the 2nd test match of the last Pakistan SA series? It was Robbie who won you guys the match. Just wait for the 2nd test match in this series

 

[smash84]

if we are talking hypotheticals here then I am wondering what if SA actually manage to lose this series how will they feel? I mean this Pakistan side lost to the Zimbos just a month back
