Pakistan’s Tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa - 2024/25

[CerealKiller]

Superb test match, excellent batting from Rabada and Jansen to with stand Abbas at one end and take runs of the others.

Choke job by Naseem and Jamal. And really bad captaincy by Shan to not bring in the field, and bowl Jamal instead of Khurram.
The collapse in the first innings and that Corbin Bosch innings will cost us.

Looks like Pakistan's slowest bowling attack in a long time, if you don't count the matches we played 3 spinners in

Is Wiaan Mulder legit now South Africa's 3 or have they sent him in as a pinch blocker?

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

If SA are thinking of going with Mulder at 7, then Ryan Rickelton has made a compelling case to start over de Zorzi.

Although I would rather play both and hope Markram can bowl the in-between overs for the pacers to catch a breath.

Unlikely they'd drop Maharaj in any conditions

You are right but I think that one extra batter would be more useful at Lord's. If they get daring, play 3 seamers and Maharaj.

I am just talking about the WTC final here. In general, I am in the 5-bowlers camp.

9 years since a South African scored a double century in Tests.

South Africa might as well let Rickelton bat on and see if he can score world record 400

I can't believe I've just flicked the cricket on and the first ball I've seen is Rickelton getting out
