Pak vs. SA - 1st Test match @ Centurion
Pakistan cricket team has embarked on this tour, with alot of confidence and a whole lot of cherry power under their belt, and with the news that Shoaib Akther will be flying out to Saffies land brings more smiles for Pakistani fans, A smile with caution because Saffies are coming on a high beating India when they were 1 down.
Pakistan tour started with a mix bag of news, the good news; the opener and middle-order freed their arm’s in the only one practice match. The sad news; injury to Umer Gul, he is not a true, flamboyant Pakistani bowlers of the past, but with his hard work, dedication and never quit attitude has made him the premier bowler of current bowling attack of Pakistan, An attack which will make any Pakistani smile with pride.
It will be an exciting start for Pakistan in the new year, What will be the playing 11 well my guess is good as anyone here @ KK, though I would say the team that played practice match (1st inning [11]), both teams are very well balanced, lets wait and see, Game On!
