Pakistan Tour of South Africa 2018/19

[GRAB]

Yes, those of us who believe that when de Kock throws the ball the batsman definitely edged it... Do they still believe in Father Christmas too?

 

[GRAB]

Humble from Makhaya to say that he isn't on that list, when he's on page 2...

 

[OverratedSanity]

That looked out. Strange that they didnt really appeal.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep. Definite edge. Looked like de kock didn't review because he was scared to get one wrong again

 

[GRAB]

Have we decided to spot Pakistan a few wickets this test each innings?

 

[vcs]

No matter, Olivier bangs one in halfway down and gets him anyway.

"There was only one timeless test" - Haysman. Bzzt. Nearly 100 timeless tests...

 

[vcs]

Mark my words, Shafiq will play yet another pretty innings here in a losing cause.

 

[Daemon]

If they do what they did at Brisbane it'll be great entertainment no doubt.

 

[vcs]

Babar's strokeplay has been exquisite this series.

These two are classy batsmen.

 

[Daemon]

This is so good to watch.

 

[SeamUp]

Good fight from Pakistan. Could be an entertaining day tomorrow. I'm back to work though

 

[Borges]

Yeah, this is very good from Pakistan, and it was very good from QDK earlier.
At last, a day of good all round cricket in this series.

I have the same problem. Still 80/20 to South Africa, but Pakistan have kept themselves alive...

Nice to see the cricket get into a 4th day here in SA though.

 

[smash84]

Pak to lollapse to 225 all out tomorrow

 

[OverratedSanity]

The pitch looked good yesterday (although how much of that was down to the roller remains to be seen) and these two looked pretty solid. I think they've got a very decent shot if they get through the first hour today.

 

[Borges]

A great and successful fourth innings chase is a very rare thing. Many start with promise and then end quite tamely.

 

[vcs]

Probably need to get another 100 or so before there is any real cause for optimism. Cricinfo had a good piece about 4th innings chases and why they're hard.

Why do we think Test chases of over 300 aren't all that tough? - ESPNcricinfo

But the good thing with these two is, if they hang around, they'll hit plenty of boundaries and keep the score ticking over pretty fast.

 

[OverratedSanity]

They probably need another 150 from just these two tbh. Can see a collapse of one falls.

But I do think they have a shot.
