[The Speaker]

Rain strikes again.

Yet again Hazratullah makes a promising start only to throw it away to a big shot.

 

[The Speaker]

Yet again Hazratullah makes a promising start only to throw it away to a big shot.

He can't do anything else.

 

[the universal]

I'll cut him some slack as he's 20/21 and still very raw with little international experience, but somebody really needs to teach him to build innings that are not reliant on him hitting boundaries a ball or two an over.

He's given South Africa momentum that they absolutely didn't have.

 

[The Speaker]

Having Noor Ali and Hashmat in is a good way to let South Africa get on top.

 

[The Speaker]

Just noticed they dropped Najibullah for Asghar.

 

[corbies]

Just noticed they dropped Najibullah for Asghar.

Bizarre. He should have been promoted if anything. They've been shooting themselves in the foot all tournament.

 

[The Speaker]

And out Asghar goes for a duck.

O Scotland, where are you?

 

[The Speaker]

Only three batsmen got into double digits as they get bowled out for 125.

 

[frankrizzo]

Sa batting so slow, big missed opportunity to boost the run rate.
