Listening to Aleyssa Healy’s commentary has been an absolute pleasure today. She has much better understanding of the game and tactics than so many of others.

Two men who take Aussies out of trouble every time. Head Cumm-ins Disclaimer: This is not a weird sexual innuendo.

Rohit’s captaincy has been excellent in this innings. The field placing was superb and the bowling changes excellent.

What are you doing to my sleep Jasprit Bumrah. The holiday season is supposed to be used for resting. Here I am, awake as an owl at 4:40 am; amazed and excited by every bowl he bowls to wreak havoc on the Aussies. #BGT #InsVsAus

This is what an extra all rounder adds. South Africa can still win it from here but not if they had gone with their second ODI combination.

Wow Abdullah Shafique

Absolutely loved today’s game. This is how cricket should be played. The mix of conservatism with modern fearlessness is mandatory for an even and engaging contest. Although it would have been fun and more closely fought if Rabada and Maharaj were playing. #SavsPak

“Tabraiz Shamsi!!! Bats just before the roller.” Golden cricket humor by Mike Haysman #SAvsPak

Three DRS reviews overturned against the same umpire today. #SAvsPak

What’s up ABD. After two ducks on a trot you don’t wanna go for a tough catch. Do you hate international cricket? #SAvsPak

South Africa’s tail is even longer than Pakistan’s. Very few teams have the luxury of having good better batsmen at 7-8 in world cricket right now and I think this will be a deciding factor in the upcoming champions trophy. #SAvsPak #IccChampionsTrophy2025

Good bless the DRS. #SAvsPak

Good to see almost all Pakistani bowlers sticking to the plan of hard length bowling other than the first 8 overs of this innings. The encouragement by Rizwan after the batsman still produces a good shot is good to see as well. #SAvsPak

Is the lapse in concentration from Rizwan because of his focus on keeping the bowlers stuck to his plans or is this just a tired mind from all the batting in the first innings in a very long away tour. Either way it looks costly.

Has Kamran Ghulam just solved a decade long problem for Pakistan??? #SAvsPak

Why are these English boys so cruel. Who rakes up a third innings lead of 533 by the end of Day2 ??? EngVsNZ

Temba you Beast !!!

Someone’s talking about mock testing before go live at the office and I am wondering how tour games used to be a thing in cricket and have been deprecated specially for non big three teams and how it has impacted the results in test cricket.

And he finishes with 15.5overs 10maidens 5runs and 4 wickets. What beast figures. WIvsBAN Jayden Seales

Jayden Seales 13-overs 9-maidens and 4 runs conceded for one wicket. OOTW WIvsBAN

Just wondering if it was ever possible under Babar-Ramiz regime for Pakistan to play a young team against Zimbabwe. The horrors of Shaheen travelling with the squad to the Netherlands while being unfit are still etched in my memory.

Can someone remind me why hasn’t Richard Ngrava ever played for a PSL franchise?

NZ to drop Blundell for Young and make Latham the keeper and then hold on to unreal chances left right and centre in the next match. Making the mystery of the dropped catches in this test more and more mysterious.

Just 490 more to nail the best comeback in the history of test cricket.

They had the argument of an inexperienced side compared to Bangladesh when they got clean swept. I wonder if Pakistan would still say the same rather than accepting that they didn’t select horses for the courses, lack vision and get bundled out too cheaply too often against mediocre bowling lineups

Is the W silent in the last Zimbabwe player’s name?

Nike’s hitting back baby. How I wish Nike steps into cricket. It’d be so fun to see cricket players with cool shoes unlike the boring collection we see on the fields. www.highsnobiety.com/p/nike-air-s...

Over to PakVsZim. The second biggest rivalry of the modern game of cricket after IndVsAus.

This is what happens when you take crickets for granted. Aussies haven’t played test cricket for a long time. Their domestic season is all over the place. They haven’t been preparing bench strength and they have relied far too much and too long on their pace trio.

What surprises me is that both Bumrah and Siraj are bowling at Labuschagne pace and they have the Aussies jumping around like bug bunnies.

So they have got them 3 down. Life is fun. 🤩 IndVsAus

Watching Aussies retorting to negative tactics. Being butchered in their own home feels so satisfying as a Pakistani fan. Good job India. Now go get them three down in 20 minutes . #IndvsAus

The highlight of the day for me Labuschagne bowling faster than Shaheen Shah bowls these days.

It felt like the ball is skipping off the pitch but the batsmen aren’t able to account for the “extra pace” added by the pitch. Is it an overall decline in batting abilities.

Does Pant come with a “cat with 9 lives” package?

I wonder if waking up at 3 am in the morning for BGT while I let my wife handle the kids (who wake up too often) at night would be considered selfish.
