Thanks Ehteshamul for the analysis. This will be close to realistic if we take the pitch and condition in to account. Which heavily favors Saffers. Whitewash, greenwash how ever you may say it.
We don't even have time to cope with Jetlag even. There is not much practice matches. Poorly scheduled. Pitches are heavily favored for SA. If we saw Steyn in devastating form in BD, just think what he and his friends will do to us at their back yard.
BATTING:
Tamim: His form is worrisome. The way he is giving catch practice to the slip ...
Junaid: Well any type of buncer will get him out. Even in flat BD pitches that happened.
Raqibul: After a long lay off. Not much match practice. He may do well in one out of three matches (50+).
Ash: Walking Wicket.
Shakib: Couple of 4s, out before 20, may be before 10 if he is feeling it.
Mushi: Will be clueless against Smith's plot.
Naeem: 1st away series with the team. Do not expect him to be the savior.
Mash: The fear comes back.
Abdur Razzak: 20+ innings (as he is the best batsman in current form)
Don't expect any resistance from the last two.
We can get embarrassed on this tour. I hope we win the toss and let them bat away. That is the realistic "me" looking at the series. The optimistic "me" wish a T20 win that is all.
