Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Inshallah.
But the thing is our bowlers, fielders and captain should have tried and done better in the first session or so. We have a psychological problem with our team (batting, more so), and with a 100 runs lead they’d have been on top. Now with the advantage gone, all rests on a good batting performance.
And we all know they rarely occur for this team. I mean we have the worst keeper of all time, particularly when it comes to batting. A lot rests on one or two players, and in a crunch situation like this, if they deliver, we make a match out of it, if they don’t in the 2nd innings, we’ll be done. Much more aggressive captaincy - and much more lethal bowling was needed to turn things our way.
Let’s see nevertheless, I’m not the one to lose hope, like ever. But this SA team at home will smell blood now.
