Pakistan to counter SA fast bowlers threat: Misbah

JOHANNESBURG: With a 10-day gap before the second Test starts in Cape Town on February 14, the players will be expected to take responsibility for ensuring they stay tuned before the team reassembles there on Monday.

The Pakistanis, meanwhile, have arranged an unofficial two-day practice match against a Western Province Invitation team in Cape Town on Sunday and Monday.

Their chief challenge, according to captain Misbah-ul-Haq, is to counter the threat of the South African fast bowlers when they operate with the new ball. (AFP)
