Pakistan or South Africa?

January 23, 2013 6:47am CST
Pakistan going to series with a 2-1 series win over India, while South Africa lost the series by 3-1 from New Zealand. Both teams are very strongh. The main competition is between Pakistan bowling attack and South African strong batting line up.

Well,I do not think Pakistan will be doing great in this series.Agreed they are coming after a win and that South Africa from a loss.Pakistan won against India who are not had a great 2 years so far and also are going through a transition.New Zealand surprised South Afric who did not give their best in the matches.Plus their tactics did nto exactly work in ODI.But South Africa in test are just great.In test macthes there is pressure and its 5 day game and everything can change in a session.They have great bowlers and batsmen.Pakistan batting lineup though have 2-3 names have not lived upto the things.Plus they need to be tackling good bowlers like steyn,morkel and phil.That would not be easy for any batting line up.South African batsmen have 4-5 players who can give them a solid platform.I even fear a whitewash from South africa on Pakistan in test series.Pakistan needs its first 6 players while batting to give solid platform.Their bowlers can perform average to good.But batsmen are yet to be declared threat atleast in tests.Thanks!

I don't know whether they are going to play test or odi or both. In test, there is only a glimmer of hope for Pakistan and in Odi there is slightly better chance. SA is in top notch in test and beating them in home is not easy.

I was seriously surprised by the loss of South Africa to New Zealand. On the other hand Pakistan will definitely benefit from the new rules as their bowling is brilliant. But every series is a new series, so it would be an interesting one. I think it would be a close one. Cheers! Ram

pak team has good bowling attack even south africa has good pace attack also. so we can say that the competition is so tough for both of teams. pak team has good performance against team india and sa loser in sa against newzealand its pakistan toughest tour in last 5 years. after palying a good bowling test in india its real test of pakistan bowling even its test of south africa batting. after losing a one day series against black caps with out amla & kallis. so finally we can say its pakistan day because condition belong to pakistan.....not for south africa

I think South Africa is one of the best team in the world. South Africa has one of the best bowling attacks and can take wickets very easily giving out very less runs.
