‘Unbelievable resilience’, ‘dream come true’: Some Pakistan fans react to player’s performance
Nauman Ali made his Test debut this week at the age of 34 and scored five points as Pakistan beat South Africa. His story is one of resilience, and the left-arm orthodox spinner has rightly been praised by supporters.
After an incredible season in domestic cricket, Ali got his chance in the national team. Overall, in 79 overs (128 innings), he scored 285 wickets with an average of 23.98.
His stats include 18 5-wicket and 5 10-wicket matches, with the best stat being 114 12 (Creek Information).
Ali teamed up with Leggie Yasir Shah against the Proteas, dismantling their low order with ease.
Nauman Ali – all the tricks
South Africa’s tail was exposed after all-rounder George Linde was dismissed. Ali enticed them to play big in the rough by providing width and flight.
Those skills paid off handsomely by dismissing Kagiso Rabada (bowling), Anrich Nortje (caught) and Temba Buvama (LBW).
Fans are excited about Ali’s performance and want to see more spinners.
After his performance in the first Test, it will be a tall order to have Ali on the bench. After all, when you combine effort, determination and perseverance, he has shown that age is just a number.
Here’s what some Pakistani fans had to say on Twitter:
Much has been said about Yasir Shah and that’s true, but what a debut for Nauman Ali. Great changes in speed, beautiful flight and impeccable controls, worked in FC for years! #PAKvsSA

Considering the hard work Nauman Ali has done at home, he deserves all this praise. Take the bow king Nauman. 5-fer’s debut on quality is a huge W #SAvPAK
