Proteas vs England Post series review

 


England won the test series 2-1 after an excellent performance in the last test at the oval to win the final test by nine wickets. 

Well done to England, who played better cricket throughout the series and came out on top at the end of the series. a well-deserved series win for them. 

Proteas have a lot of questions regarding their batting department and players from the test squad who are not part of white ball teams in the next few months should use this break to go away and refresh their minds and look to use the SA domestic first class to gain some confidence before the tour to Australia. 

Proteas have a lot of work to do when it comes to batting and hope to see them working on those problems and improving before the next series. 

The series for Proteas was lost due to lack of runs on the board as the bowlers were superb throughout the series but the batsman never played their part apart from the first test where proteas scored 326 that too with assistance from the bowlers who had to contribute with the bat as well. 

Both teams have a lot to work on going forward and both can be released that they will have a break from red-ball cricket as everyone turns their attention toward the T20 world cup. 

Match Summary 



Proteas are still holding onto a spot in the top 2 in the world test championship, but they are going to have to win at least 4 or 5 of their remaining matches to stay in contention of making the final.

The race for the final is wide open after the result of the test series between England and Proteas. This is going to be a very interesting race once test cricket resumes after the T20 world cup.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test Day 1 review

 Australia and Pakistan faced off in the second Test match at MSG. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The visitors started well with opening bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza getting the ball to move off the seam. However, the Australian batter struck back with a good opening partnership of 90 runs. Australia finished the day at 187/3 off 66 overs as rain played spoilsport, with Hasan Ali, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal the pick of the bowlers. It was a tough day for the Pakistani bowlers as they struggled to cause Australian bowlers for long enough periods at a time, but they will look to bounce back on Day 2. The Australian batsman will be aiming to put up a big total for their bowlers to bowl too. Overall, it was an exciting day of Test cricket and fans can look forward to more action in the coming days.  Writer: Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
