Re: Cricket: Pakistan vs South Africa - Test Series Not sure about betting on this series in the light of the Haider scandal. Not really got time to look for bets in the 1st test either as I'm cramming in work to leave early to get to Wrexham for the Luton game tonight. Going to take this small outright and then watch the early exchanges in the 1st test before deciding whether to bet. 1pt A.Ali Top Pakistan Series Batsman 8/1 Stan James As I said when Pakistan were over here, this guy impressed me a lot. He struggled against the moving ball against England but when they got on a flat wicket which didn't move in the air he top scored and almost made a ton. Conditions here should suit him nicely. The ball isn't going to do much on these wickets and there isn't going to be extreme pace or bounce. I'm not sure where he's going to fit into this Pakistan side at the minute, be it at 3 or at 5 or 6 but that doesn't matter as much in test matches. We've seen all year long really that Pakistan struggle to build innings but Azhar has the technique to stay at the crease for long periods of time and he has the motivation and drive to do that too with him looking to cement a place in the side. 8/1 is a big price if he plays both tests and if he bats at 3 then it's even bigger. At the price I think it's well worth paying to find out as he's got all the credentials to go well in this series.
