00:00Ali Hussain Rizvi born on 6th January 1974.
00:04He is a former Pakistani legspin baller who made a solitary test appearance in 1997.
00:09A right-time legspin baller, Rizvi claimed two wickets in his only outing at the highest
00:14level, dismissing Sean Pollock and Pat Simcox on an unresponsive lifeless pitch.
00:20However, with senior spinners Mushtaq Ahmed and Saklan Mushtaq spearheading the attack,
00:25Rizvi's role was largely reduced to that of a stock baller.
00:28He was handed just 18.3 overs in contrast to Mushtaq Ahmed 38 overs and Saklan Mushtaq
00:3532 overs, limiting his chance to truly showcase his abilities.
00:39As a result, his potential remained largely untapped on the international stage.
00:58Simcox is not happy.
01:01Piaf Francis reckoning there that the ball took the outside edge, touched the keeper's
01:07gloves on its way to the first slip.
01:09South Africa now lose their ninth wicket, that of Simcox.
01:13Well, it certainly turned quite a lot, did this delivery.
01:20Well, I thought he was out, I don't know why Pat Simcox didn't think it was out and was
01:28stood.
01:29Well, the umpire and I agree, 397 for nine.
01:36Well, it's in the air.
01:37Is that going to be caught at long off?
01:39It's a chance.
01:40Yes, it's been held and Pollock is out, caught down there on the wide long off boundary by
01:48Ali Nakfi.
01:49He's out for 82.
01:50He's out for 82, 18 runs short of his 100 and South Africa are all out for 402.
01:59And with that wicket, the players will come in to tee.
02:04So, a total of 402 really has made this match, as we were saying, safe for South Africa.
02:11But Pakistan will certainly want to get their answer back to that score.

03:44opportunities, which coincided with the dominance of senior spinners, prevented a more extended
03:49stint at the highest level.
