Maybe we should give the West Indies bowlers some credit rather than lambasting Pakistani batsmen?

Look at the damage they have inflicted on Australia. This west indies bowling line up is dangerous and can take them into the semi finals.

Nobody really worried about their bowling lineup! Only felt that their batting can be threat on super-flat pitches (or actually in shorter versions like T20) That's it! But what we are seeing in this world cup so far is glimpse of the Great Old West Indies team which used to dominate in all departments, in all formats, on all pitches, all circumstances, against all teams! How fascinating it would be if we get back those days!

Looking at bounce the windies tall bowlers are getting i think Pakistan should recall M.Irfan

I do not agree. Of course WI are doing good with the ball but Pak did bat poorly against them as Auseis is doing now. All the WI pacer were played against BD in that recently concluded tri nation cup except Russel. And they lost all of the matches.

Pakistan game had overcast conditions. The pitch in this game is not seaming at all, just has appreciable bounce. Still doesn't excuse our lower-middle order for batting like complete idiots.

They are giving their 100%. The pitches and bounce they are extracting is causing problems.

Windies bowlers are definitely extracting more bounce because of their height, but if they deserve credit it is for their discipline and accuracy. Irfan could barely bowl to one side of the wicket if he got out of bed the wrong side in the morning. If he had more control and focus he would be unplayable. But luckily for opposition he would always hand at least one free hit every over.

Windies bowlers should get the accolades but 105 is still unacceptable. At least Aus are putting up a fight to give their bowlers something to defend. Pak as good as forfeited the match without considering that RR could prove crucial for the semi-final reckonings.

The most disappointing thing for me was the way Babar gave up. Should have gone into survival mode.

Babar should've been Smith the other day.

This is why he still carries the tag of soft lad.
