Cricket: South Africa tour of Pakistan 2021

[Creag]

Maharaj to Hasan Ali, (no ball)
full outside off. Hasan Ali tries to drag a sweep from outside the stumps. But it takes a bottom-edge and rolls back onto the stumps. Maharaj's third wicket of the innings, but wait! Drama. Maharaj has overstepped, barely just, but no ball it is. Hasan survives.

 

[Pegasus]

3 dropped catches, and a wicket off a no ball.
Nice going.

[Pegasus]

I hope out tail enders are good tomorrow.
From what I've seen, I reckon we'll be at least 5 down before 100.

wicket off a no ball from a spinner

Who was it? I stopped listening to the DSTV stream about 35 minutes before close of play.

 

[ShloshMalosh]

well... at least this match is entertaining us.

Aiden showing how you use referrals.

Can never understand why the reviews don't check for legal ball first (No Ball, outside leg) , and then edges, lines, etc. Wasting time on going for ultraedge when the ball pitches inches outside leg

 

[Drifter]

We are fighting for a draw now. No way we can win this, unless some sort of miracle happens.

 

[Goosfrabba]

I'm scared to check the ESPNCricInfo tab. I don't see this game ending well

 

[jouda]

Why are we taking bloody risky singles????

Can't believe Markram and Elgar's average only differs with 1.5 runs, hopefully both can go big in the 2nd innings

 

[Agent_Smith]

Eish, Elgar looking in agony here. How much longer does he stick it out? Surely an idea to go off, get it seen to and then come back in when a few wickets have fallen. Probably against his nature to throw in the towel though.

On a side note, this the higest opening partnership for SA in 19 innings. That doesn't make for good reading.

 

[Dan C]

Wonder if QdK can score more than 20 runs.. his average for the year is 12.5

Don't think so..

Good catch by the keeper.

 

[Creag]

Magic spray for Elgar, but the little finger is not so little now. Swelling visible. While we wait to restart, a reminder that it's the 35th birthday of Asad Shafiq today. Holds the record for most 100s at No. 6 in Test cricket history.

Werner: "I feel sorry for Elgar being hit, but he always scores a hundred when he gets hurt, so I am happy for South Africa. "

Darryl Cullinan waxing lyrical about the innovation that is the camera drone flying over the stadium. Not the usual drones that hover over Pakistan, haha.

Everyone shatap. Anything you say could be detrimental.
