Pakistan’s batting struggles persist as they finish Day 2 of the second Test at 76/4 in pursuit of 254 against the West Indies

[Amjid Javed]

This chase will depend on Babar and Legside Rizwan. Legside will need to stay till the end to see Pakistan through.

Actually it's dependant on Shan masood. As bad as he normally is, he's the one player who can score well vs spin when chasing

No. Shan will play match winning knock .

 

[Human786]

another 55-60 runs & we have a game ...

 

[Asad T]

yeah and Saud as well

 

[jnaveen1980]

Windies needs atleast 60 runs more to make a match of it.

 

[Asad T]

if we lose this, shan is certainly a gonner

 

[Devadwal]

if we lose this, shan is certainly a gonner

Pakistan is winning this match with ease.

At the end of day pakistan fans will Praise Shan batting.

 

[BouncerGuy]

if we lose this, shan is certainly a gonner

Nay... I don't think so... Shan is like a glue with this team... I don't see him going anywhere. He speaks good english as well..LOL

 

[Asad T]

Nay... I don't think so... Shan is like a glue with this team... I don't see him going anywhere. He speaks good english as well..LOL

if nomi can play till 38
why can't shan

 

[Savak]

Shan is a phattu captain, slightest pressure and he spreads the field allowing easy singles to the opposition even when the pitch has something for the bowlers.

 

[BouncerGuy]

if nomi can play till 38
why can't shan

LOL... Shan can play till 40s I don't mind but he has to be doing more than what he is doing atm... Cannot be having a dead weight in the team just because he speaks good english and scores a century only when he is about to get kicked out of the team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is like 5th gift from West Indies. Don't think they want to win this test. This is not enough to win the test. They need bare minimum 200

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abrar strikes,,,, Greaves departs..

 

[Devadwal]

Westindies batsman with another brainfade when things were going little bit easy .

Six down and end is near.

 

[jnaveen1980]

if nomi can play till 38
why can't shan

I read the noman thread. In 2020 , Rana guestimated his age to be 40 or 42. lol That would make him 46 now.He should be in the ball park of 42.

 

[Farabi]

Abbas would have been a handful on these pitches. Whose make these decisions.
Shan lamented lack of pace and then plays Kashif Ali, whose bowling similar speeds anyway

 

[Croma]

Lead is now exactly one more than what Pakistan managed in the first inning

 

[jamie smith]

main batters are still waiting in the hut

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Last recognised batting pair for Windies

 

[Devadwal]

Shan is treating Abrar as an part timers bowler, No close in fielders.

 

[Devadwal]

Last recognised batting pair for Windies

They already lost the game bro .

 

[Human786]

165/6

 

[Omer2002]

I dont know what the problem is i said we wont beat windies at home and that what it will be

 

[Human786]

168/6 ... another 40-45 & it will be a tough chase .

 

[Devadwal]

168/6 ... another 40-45 & it will be a tough chase .

Pakistan will chase anything under 250 but Westindies is not going to score more than 185.

 

[Savak]

Useless spinner Abrar, can't get an outside edge, can't get an lbw

 

[Human786]

177/6 ...this partnership is now hurting Pakistan

 

[Savak]

Shan needs to be aggressively grilled by higher, yet another display of cowardly phattu captaincy under pressure.

 

[Devadwal]

Babar is saying don't worry, main sab kar lunga

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I think the Windies have a winning total already, not a chance we chase this down, let alone the 200+ they will end up with

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They already lost the game bro .

You are quite right. Pakistan have the best player of spin in the world in Saud Shakeel

 

[Human786]

Pakistan will chase anything under 250 but Westindies is not going to score more than 185.

highest runs in 4th innings

 

[Devadwal]

Sajid the destroyer back to the attack. Wickets are coming

 

[Savak]

Dumb Shaan will still not bring a pacer. WI have destroyed our spinners with sweep shots and footwork

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Sajid the destroyer back to the attack. Wickets are coming

Sajid and Nomi are nothing Infront of King Jomel Warrican. He has busted their myth.

 

[Savak]

These easy singles want to make me pull my hair out.

 

[gazza619]

Useless spinner Abrar, can't get an outside edge, can't get an lbw

The pitch has eased up to be fair. Pakistan batters did a tremendous disservice not getting a lead of 100+

Watch Warrican look unplayable on this pitch.

 

[Human786]

187/6

 

[Devadwal]

highest runs in 4th innings

Why the fear when King is there .

 

[Kianig89]

WI need 250 to be on safe side

 

[Human786]

187/6

34 runs added by this pair

 

[Devadwal]

WI need 250 to be on safe side

Sajid don and Noman are bowling so impossible for westindies to cross 200

 

[Savak]

More than skilled players, Pakistan will start winning a lot more games when they have a captain who competently makes the right decision at the right time when it comes to bowling changes, field placements.

Having skilled players is pointless when your captain incompetently makes the wrong decisions with the bowling changes and field placements at the most vital moments of the game.

 

[Kianig89]

Shan has only one plan , Noman and Sajid if WI batsmen remain in shell, he goes missing the moment WI counter

A tough pill for Shan advocates

 

[Human786]

this pitch is certainly not as spicy as the 1 in previous game ... 191/6 & the combined batting avg of last 3 [ to come ] is 50 !

I agree Shan has got to go. But guess what, he may end up scoring a 60+ in a successful run chase here. He does about enough every damn series to not get dropped from the next one.

 

[Kianig89]

3rd Test is required to complete bust the Aqiball

 

[Devadwal]

Abrar is charged up after the drink . watchout for unplayable delivery

 

[Savak]

This match is disgracefully lost. Shan needs to be brutally kicked out from the captaincy on his behind after this match.

 

[gazza619]

I cant remember seeing the ball keeping this low

 

[Devadwal]

Abrar is charged up after the drink . watchout for unplayable delivery

There you go ,first ball after drink was unplayable .

 

[Kianig89]

Abrar called Ajmal in drinks break, will bowl doosra now

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan might collapse chasing this

 

[Human786]

199/6 ... looks tough now .

 

[Savak]

I cant remember seeing the ball keeping this low

What's the point if the bowlers don't bowl straight and the captain allows easy singles on a platter

 

[Kianig89]

Ominous sign for Pakistan

 

[Devadwal]

I cant remember seeing the ball keeping this low

It happened frequently in Asia

 

[Savak]

Shaan khudda ka wasta ffs get Kashif into the attack.

 

[Human786]

205/7

 

[Kianig89]

Shan ' s record just for the record

P 11 W 3 L 8 , worst than Vettori Sachin and Lara as skipper what if he ends up on losing this

 

[Devadwal]

Here goes the 7th wickets .

Don't think WI will add another 20 runs

 

[gazza619]

Sinclair has some seriously big teeth

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan have an opening get on Noman

 

[Savak]

The total is out of reach. Pakistani batters are too mentally weak to chase this. WI spinners will bowl at the perfect pace and will target the stumps. Roach will make his 300 plus wickets count. Pakistan has a weak tail as well.

 

[Devadwal]

Moti can't do anything in this innings when everyone expect some runs .

 

[Human786]

205/7

though pitch has slowed down , low bounce is a threat .... 235+ will be very tough ! 209/7

 

[Romali_rotti]

I don't see Pakistan winning this from here.

Quite impressed with the effort by the WI kids on a rank turner, I thought they would be bowled out for under a 100...

WI surprised big time with their sweep shots, running bw the wickets. Shaans phattu defensive spreading out the field captaincy helped them big time as well.

Yes you are right, surprised how well they played the sweep shot...

 

[Human786]

212/7

 

[Jazx]

Seems another humiliation coming up for pakistan.

 

[mominsaigol]

Why do I feel like wi will get a 300 lead lol

 

[IAJ]

Haven't seen a ball bowled in this Test but watching the score on cricinfo occasionally. I am thinking of 2 scenarioes here;

1) The pitch might have eased out or
2) Every team, apart from our rubbish team, is quick learner and adapt to the new condions quickly. If this is the case credit goes to the Windies boys.

 

[Human786]

Pacer in ....

Naw it hasn't eased up at all. As @Amjid Javed said, this pitch isn't as difficult as the 1st Test.

Just rubbish batting from both wi and pakistan in the 1st innings.

Although wi has batted well and if they get 300 then 0% chance of pakistan chasing it down. Already a 214 lead looks out of reach.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is probably Kashif's first and only Test match.

Bowls at medium 129-130KPH. Even M Abbas is a few clicks quicker than him.

 

[Omer2002]

Who is this with 125 kph thunderbolts...is this what we have in Pak now..

 

[Human786]
