*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[OverratedSanity]

What a way to protect his UAE blemish (according to possible Detractors and I am not one haha ftr)

Funny thing is it might actually rob him of the chance to correct that blemish if he doesn't play... If he does play I don't think he'll be fully fit. Huge blow either way for South Africa... Best batsman and bowling spearhead both gone

I have a really weird feeling that Pakistan will be outdone by the man they least expect - Imran Tahir.

What is he on about? He's been rubbish for ages now.

 

[salman85]

Yeah that was my reaction too. He hasn't deserved a spot in the ODI side for a while now. What i like about the guy is that even when he cribs, he smiles

The article does mention that Irfan is having less fitness issues so that's something positive. However he was troubled in the second innings of the match.

My favourite part of the article was when Osman mentioned Gul - hasn't been able to find the right length for the last 10 years. That's Gul all right.

Is Pakistan's new opening pair actually gonna be any good or will they become mediocre like Fulton and Rutherford will eventually become?

 

[smash84]

they will become mediocre pretty soon

I hope Steyn also doesn't play the final test

They will outdo Hobbs and Sutcliffe.

No wonder England beat us 2-1. Spent time here and had 3 warm up games while our fellas were fantasizing about revenge for the 4-0.

Pakistan win the toss and bat

 

[smash84]

pakistan unchanged

and apparently from the looks of it, the wicket is a spinner's delight....we'll have to see

 

[Maximas]

I'm interested to see how Elgar goes - will he bat 3? This could make or break his test career

 

[nsniks]

WOW what a start by Steyn, Khurram departs

 

[smash84]

[kykweer.proteas]
