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

[kingusama92]

This is why you bring a pacer on throughout the innings.

The change of pace does the trick instantly.

 

[Kianig89]

Wicket

 

[Savak]

So Kashif gets a wicket in his first over after a big break. If Shaan is not sacked as captain after this match, I will scream.

 

[Omer2002]

Their main batters still to come plus the 30 extras apparently we have given them

Shaan made a century in south africa he is here for another 4 years thats how pcb works

 

[Kianig89]

WI should look to get 250

 

[Ahmed216]

This lead is already well beyond our reach with WI main batsmen at the crease

 

[Human786]

These 2 no mugs .... 222/8

 

[Savak]

Future teams will plan and come to grips with Pakistani dry pitches and Sajid, Noman. It has already taken WI one game to get the hang of them. England were just taken by surprise by how Pakistan rapidly managed to change their tactics and approach.

It's funny but it's true. Their tailenders have been the best batters this tour.

 

[Amjid Javed]

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.

If you look at batsmen who have used good footwork. Been positive and not played stupid premeditated shots uve got runs.

The 1st inns was just pathetic batting.

The ball isn't turning square every other ball like some sort of lottery. You can get runs here.

 

[Savak]

Aamir Sohail slamming Shan Masoods regimental Plan A captaincy and his lack of flexibility when the situation demands something else.

 

[jamie smith]

pathetic bowling from pak spinners

 

[Bhaijaan]

55-45 in West Indies favour right now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This game is in favor of West Indies now... Pakistan team will choke here

 

[Human786]

Is Roach not fit to bowl ?
234/8

 

[Kianig89]

Lead nearing 250 , Pakistan needs a herculean task

 

[Savak]

Rizwan's keeping has been poor, he's conceded too many byes.

 

[Human786]

235/8

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sajid unleashing his inner John Cena at Warrican

 

[Ahmed216]

WI batsmen have shown they are better strikers of the ball. They've run away with the game

 

[Shafi]

Same old story. Match is over. Zimbabar will fail as usual.

 

[Human786]

Sajid with these gestures looks absurd ... 239/8

 

[Ahmed216]

Warrican running straight down the pitch and our idiot players are not bothered

 

[jamie smith]

if windies can score 250,then we can also score it

 

[Human786]

242/9

 

[jamie smith]

roach will not bat likely 242/8

 

[BouncerGuy]

if windies can score 250,then we can also score it

Pitch is gonna become a minefield as soon our batters walk out there... No hopes

 

[Ahmed216]

if windies can score 250,then we can also score it

Believe me all our chicken hearted cricketers have already lost it in their minds.
It will be a procession

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid Khan has done it... Superb from katappa

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid Khan has done it... Superb from katappa

actually nope... outside I think

 

[Devadwal]

Another one bite the dust. Sajid on the fire .can westindies touch 240

 

[jamie smith]

need to get the last wicket asap

 

[Human786]

243/9

 

[Amjid Javed]

55-45 in West Indies favour right now.

99-1 in WI favour

 

[AZulfi]

Windies already have an ominous lead of 243 with 1 wicket remaining

Serves Pak management and captain right for preparing such extreme pitches out of fear of failure.

Amjad Khan’s famous dialogue in Sholay ‘ jau dar gaya samjho woh mar gaya’

 

[jamie smith]

244 /9

 

[Kianig89]

Had common sense prevailed we should have Gone with normal wicket to clinch the series, this game might expose Shan the Captain and Aqiball theory

 

[jamie smith]

we seriously need a fiery pacer that can wipe the tail

 

[Human786]

WI will have to bowl poorly to lose this ...246/9

 

[Rana]

Rizwan flappy keeping

No chat

What a loser guy! Keepers need to keep their team engaged! Complete clown with his lipstick Bootha only talking when Pakistan are on top

 

[jamie smith]

pitches for eng series were good should have continued with those

 

[pratiktc]

Roach isnt going to be bowling in the second inns with his injury. He's clearly limping

Big on him to come out and try to add handful of runs to target

 

[Ahmed216]

Kemar is limping. Still Shan doesn't bring the field in to stop single off the last ball.

Salam Captain

 

[jamie smith]

Kemar Roach is actually limping while running between the wickets.What a warrior

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Had common sense prevailed we should have Gone with normal wicket to clinch the series, this game might expose Shan the Captain and Aqiball theory

Shan less to blame than Aqib.

Bring back Gillespie!

 

[jamie smith]

saad baig was a better captain than the clown shan

 

[shah9425]

Kemar is limping. Still Shan doesn't bring the field in to stop single off the last ball.

Salam Captain

But he can speak English sir

 

[Kianig89]

Babar must score a big chunk of target so is Shan Masood to ease pressure on middle order

 

[jamie smith]

THe pitches were those produced during misbah stint as coach against sa in 2021

Shan less to blame than Aqib.

Bring back Gillespie!

 

[jamie smith]

248/9

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're just wasting time

 

[jamie smith]

Babar must score a big chunk of target so is Shan Masood to ease pressure on middle order

no point having hopes on these two,they will choke as usual 252/9

 

[Kianig89]

WI now trying to snatch Pakistan's pride , Kemar Roach

 

[jamie smith]

Ian Bishop, who's on the commentary panel in Multan, has tweeted suggesting that Roach won't bowl in Pakistan's second innings.

 

[m.shah]

Lead crosses 250

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan lost to Bangladesh at home, what if drawn series with WI , where does Pakistan stands precisely at No.9

 

[Rana]

Had common sense prevailed we should have Gone with normal wicket to clinch the series, this game might expose Shan the Captain and Aqiball theory

Had common sense prevailed (having watched this side for the past 3 years), you would understand Pakistan are mentally and physically incapable of competing at Test level against anyone on even or dead tracks.

Then again, we have seen how you are genuinely not up with the game.

 

[jamie smith]

excelent comeback from windies

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They don't want to give Nauman another 5fer

 

[jamie smith]

unless babar and shaan are dropped,pak test team cant move forward

 

[Rana]

Flip same uncle bowling too loopy to number 10-11

Just fire it in at their pads!

 

[Devadwal]

244 all out

 

[Croma]

Huh? They are still batting

 

[DeadlyVenom]

.

THe pitches were those produced during misbah stint as coach against sa in 2021

No they were completely different.

This is industrial pitch tampering that took place and I hope this experiment is confined to the rubbish bin even if we win.

 

[Croma]

I think Shan received instructions from sponsors to drag the game to third day

 

[jamie smith]

windies deserve to win,they have been the better side throughout

 

[Croma]

Nope, 10th wicket falls and Pakistan need 253 to win

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan needs 254 to win the match.and they are likely to chase this target with ease.

 

[Rana]

Here is the Test

Here is the opportunity to prove you are the King and Queen or whatever you love to be called!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Day 2: Tea Break - West Indies lead by 253 runs

WI 163 & 244 (66.1) CRR: 3.69

.
No they were completely different.

This is industrial pitch tampering that took place and I hope this experiment is confined to the rubbish bin even if we win.

sorry i wanted to say the best pitches were those produced during misbahs stint as coach vs sa

 

[Ahmed216]

Been watching for last half n hour . It seems surface has lost a bit of pace compared to yesterday

 

[mominsaigol]

Flip same uncle bowling too loopy to number 10-11

Lead is 253, highest score since aqib ball started in test was 242. Pakistan aiming for a record chase to win this.

If babar can pull this off, he'll atleast have one atg test innings to his name. Since atm his best innings is a draw on a phatta .

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistan done well to restrict westindies to 250

 

[Rana]

Proper Test match even if it’s a fast forward one.

Well done Aqib for reviving this sport for the country!

 

[Devadwal]

Here is the Test

Here is the opportunity to prove you are the King and Queen or whatever you love to be called!

I think bobsy and Shan both will score runs in This innings

Win - win situation for pakistan fans .

 

[jamie smith]

riz and shakeel are the only hopes

 

[Devadwal]

Been watching for last half n hour . It seems surface has lost a bit of pace compared to yesterday

Soft Ball (Old) is not threating as much as new ball.

 

[Rana]

Hurraira
Kamran
Saud
Agha

Who wants to be remembered for many years to come? Here is your chance! Get these runs!
