*Official* South Africa in Pakistan, 2021

[tony p]

Always enjoy a good 10wkt partnership, and this is becoming a good one.

Test centurion in Australia Yasir Shah can bat after all

Yasir now just 65 short of his second test century.

 

[TT Boy]

I don’t fancy we will see Linde in the second test. 13 overs from 117. Markram could have done that.

Pakistan running away with the match

 

[91Jmay]

This is great fun. Pakistan could be on for an innings victory here. SA look mentally shot.

 

[TT Boy]

Mahmood and Mushtaq Ahmed vibes.

I don’t fancy we will see Linde in the second test. 13 overs from 117. Markram could have done that.

I did say that in the build up. How often does that happen with similar type spinners playing together. You have to be exceptional and whilst I like Linde I think limited overs is his stuff.

 

[Starfighter]

Wow, the lead went from 110 to 158 in no time at all.

Yeah. He deserved his shot, taking wickets at FC level. But you are right he feels more a LO player.

 

[Starfighter]

And that thus endeth the fun. Wouldn't be surprised if SA fall in a heap here.

 

[tony p]

Good lead that, 158, how many wickets will S.A. lose before passing that.

 

[Bolo.]

Nothing better than watching a 10th wicket partnership get out of hand.

Nothing more frustrating than being on the recieving end of it.

Test cricket is awesome

 

[StephenZA]

Makram could be very important for this innings. If the pitch has flattened like the commentators are implying then he could get rid of the deficit very quickly.

 

[SeamUp]

It didn't come back in so every chance it pitched outside leg with it being that short.

 

[StephenZA]

I thought that was a strange decision... always looked to be pitching far outside leg.

 

[morgieb]

Supposedly the 4th youngest to 200 after Waqar, Kapil Dev and Harbhajan is pretty cool.

Yeah I’m pretty sure at least two of those guys are quite a bit older than they say.

Yeah if Markram can just play himself in and not chase the game then he could go big

 

[Pup Clarke]

Also Hasan Ali looks really pedestrian. Just straight up and down medium-fast
