PakPassion is proud to present the 16th Episode of the exclusive cricket review show - View From The Pavilion!
Your hosts in this week's episode are Gotham Cronie & Khabri420
In this week's show, we discuss Pakistan's Test series against South Africa which is due to begin in a few hours of time. More specifically, we discuss the two tour matches leading up to the series, Pakistan's options for opening batsmen, key players in our batting lineup and who the '5th bowler' should be among other things.
The last time Pakistan defeated South Africa in a Test match was 2456 days ago, or 6 years, 8 months and 21 days ago! Will this trend continue?
Pakistan face an unusual dilemma in terms of including a 3rd spinner or to go with Irfan in the 1st Test - Who will they play?
May sound harsh but the facts on the ground state that Pakistan start the series as underdogs!
In the fifth match of the 1987 World Cup, Pakistan and England faced off in Rawalpindi.
Both teams had started their campaigns off in thrilling fashion. Pakistan had defeated Sri Lanka by 15 runs while England had squeaked by West Indies in a two-wicket victory. That trend continued when they would go up against each other.
This week we have again have joint winners!
