Pakistan in South Africa - 2013

[Pagalpanti]

If NZ series is anything to go by. Expect 3 innings defeat for Pak. I honestly can't see this Pak team drawing/let alone winning a test in SA. SL did because they had the batting likes of Sanga/Mahela/Samarweera.

i think we will see really grassy pitches :P junaid at most will do as well as zaheer without any other quality fast bowlers im not expecting much..also this is big factor south africa have solid batting line up with lot of patience so they can even play him out and even ajmal out u need good attack with no weakling to trouble them.. england only troubled them when finn came in

zaheer is no benchmark , he has a very similar record to umar gul , who might not even get to play in paks team . Pakistan has never been afraid to try new bowlers , im expecting adil to replace umar gul hopefully.

our batsmen will get hammered vs Steyn, Morkel and Co. :haha::haha: Among the batsmen, only YK and perhaps Azhar can do well. We need atleast 6 or 7 batsmen to average 40 plus in this series, but we'll be lucky to even have to batsmen who can average above 40.

No one knows what's going to happen. Logic says SA will thrash Pakistan but who knows what might happen. We have played two full 3 match series in SA since their return and both were hard fought exciting match ups. In 98 a young team without Wasim and out of form Inzi was leading the series 1-0 after 2 games. Got hammered in the 3rd and series was drawn. In 2006 it was 1-1 after two tests and in the decider SA were 39/4 chasing 160 odd and managed to chase the target.

Pak should get ready for a phainty.

[maniac]

SA will choke in atleast 1 test....Should be 2-1 to South Africa... Pak should get absolutely smashed in the ODI series though

Same was said before we white washed England .. don't ever count this team out ... especially now that the Akmal-Fixers have been banished !

Negative thinking means negative results ... ask Dhoni-jee about that. We will go in with the confidence and pride :two_thumbs_up:

[vayuu1]

U got be stupid to not pick guys like rahat Ali , zia ul haq and sadaf,I think u guys should have given chance to hammad azam.

Positive thinking doesnt mean jack when your team is shite.:cantstop:

[vayuu1]

IMHO opinion they should have picked one or may be two fast bowler.

Thinking positive will only end up hurting you in the bargain. Be realistic. You'll surely do better than NZ though. :two_thumbs_up:

We know word whitewash has left long lasting scars on you.

What about pakistan,s three consecutive test series whitewashes in Australia and not to forget your whole tour of Aus 10-0 in 2009 dont blabber crap.

[SLICKR392]

After they did well and also struggled against the likes of Ishant, Dinda and Bhuvi, they expect the same treatment from Steyn,Philander,Morkel & Rory. :giggle:

[NareshK]

What about pakistan' date='s three consecutive test series whitewashes in Australia and not to forget your whole tour of Aus 10-0 in 2009 dont blabber crap.[/quote'] Pakis act as if their overseas record is any better. In fact, India had a good stretch in 2000s because of good batsmen. Pakistan didnt even have that because they always had pathetic batsmen and they also had spot fixing, match fixing scandals on top of that. :giggle:

Either they have won or they have phiksed their matches. So according to their logic, if they don't phiks their matches, they'll surely win 3-0 :two_thumbs_up:

[hhhhdmt]

Even though Pak is likely to lose in SA, whats wrong with having self belief? I don't understand the hate here, will pak lose? probably, but hopefully we'll fight till the end. :two_thumbs_up:

TIL "self boast "
