[The Dark Knight]

South Africa win by 2 wickets.
Jansen and Rababa put on 51 to get them home. Abbas with 6/54 from 19.3.

Given the circumstances, that's perhaps one of the greatest 50+ run partnerships in history
The way Rabarda and Jansen played was brilliant for a couple of bowlers , in the difficult batting conditions

That was awesome, rarely you see a SA crowd that into it. Great for cricket they are in the WTC, cricket needs a strong SA. They'll struggle to beat Aussies or India but they are on the improve again.

Is there any other team in any other sport that has a record worse than Pakistan in losing games when they're in a strong winning position ?
Just seems time and time again that Pakistan fight hard to get control of games then cant finish it off
They just find ways to lose that most other teams dont find

The Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan test looks like a snoozefest.

The Afghans are 3/515 in reply to Zimbabwe's 586 at stumps on day 3. At least Zimbabwe went at 4.3 per over, Afghanistan are currently motoring at 3.3 per over, one dude has 179 off of 367 deliveries so far.

No, only playing against SL in T20I's and ODI's. NZ also playing Pakistan in T20I's and ODI's in March and April. They're not playing any other test matches this home season.
