Are there any SA boys in those two squads?

2 current south Africans, 1 zimbo, 1 New zealander and 1 former South african. Rest are English. Teams also included sir Alistair, only one to get a 40.

Pakistan bowled well, but the catches are going to make them lose this one I'm afraid

Pakistan won by 10 wickets.

@Whright ??

Difficult pitch... What? Babar and Rizwan have made a mockery of this England bowling line-up.

 

[stefan9]

Easy for Pakistan. When babar and Rizwan are at their best its splendid to watch.

If not already, he will become a valuable sort after asset in most competitions.

Waar bly ek? , ek bly stil.

That was an impressive batting display from the two Pakistan openers.

I would like too see them try pull that stunt off again, fluke if you ask me.

No doubt about that. Team are going to be falling over themselves to get his signature.

See them do it against us as well. So no fluke.

Last year partnership 197 in alien conditions.

In the highlights I watched, the commentator said they've got 7 100+ run opening partnerships in T20I's...that's kinda nuts.

Pakistan’s batting duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have become the most successful batting partners in T20Is, surpassing India’s Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.

The Indian pair had scored 1,743 runs in total 52 innings as batting partners, while Pakistan’s Babar and Rizwan surpassed them in the 36th inning as batting partners when they took Pakistan’s score to 18 runs in the third over in the second T20I against England.

They have also become the first-ever batting pair in T20Is to amass 1,800 runs as batting partners.

The Pakistani openers have seven partnerships of over 100 runs — which is also the most by any batting partners in the shortest format of the game around the world.

Next to them are KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma of India, who have five-century partnerships to their credit.

Babar and Rizwan are usually criticised as Pakistan’s top-order pair. However, the number denies what is commonly perceived against them. Their average partnership is over 53 runs per innings.

Of their 1,800 partnership runs, they have scored 1,500+ runs since the start of 2021. No other batting partner has scored even 800 runs in partnership in this bracket.

Not our best bowling unit but a stat is a stat.

Damn the Aus vs Ind game is rain delayed. What am I suppose to watch now ?

Sorry - this probably does not belong here - and perhaps already posted, but saw this and chuckled. Thought some of you cricket fans might enjoy it too:

Aus & Ind game is on.

"Although the conditions are not perfect, the toss will be at 9:15pm IST, start at 9:30pm. Eight overs per side, two overs of the powerplay and a bowler can bowl a maximum of two overs"

He already is. Not sure what his CPL and SA20 fees are, but he's banking about R6m per year from the IPL.
