Cobras won the toss and elected to bat
156 All out
Irfan 4/20
Rehman 3/31
Irfan cementing his place instead of Rahat for next test.
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
Rahat Ali might as well put Khan at the end and start singing because he can't bowl.
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
Pak 32/3
Farhat 11 :D
Azhar 11
Younis 2
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras

Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
Close of play 127/4

Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
Dont tell me Bhanja will replace someone in the next test 
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
How about dropping Ajmal and giving Rehman a chance?
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
Maybe Younis.

You dont drop your best bowler and one of the best in the world based on one match.
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
I was expecting Azhar Ali to adjust to the conditions rather quickly. I am surprised he hasn't lived up to his reputation so far.

Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras

I didnt say drop him I just said what the team management might do.
Re: Pakistan V Emerging Cape Cobras
It is not always what the stats are saying. According to this table Ajmal is the worst bowler even lower than Shoaib Malik. Try saying that in any cricketing circles and watch the reaction you will get. Ask the batsmen of international teams who they rather not face Ajmal or Rehman. Having said that both are good bowlers but Ajmal is in a league of its own.
