Pakistan bowled out for 154 in the first innings, trailing by 9 runs at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test against the West Indies

[jamie smith]

They will not. These two will get murdered on batting friendly pitches.

everyone gets murdered on those pitches

 

[Devadwal]

They will not. These two will get murdered on batting friendly pitches.

Atleast give them tri series so we can see how they will perform

 

[Justcrazy]

But don't you think Pakistan batsman need some runs before the champion trophy to get back in the confidence .

No , that should not be the concern. You need to try and win what is on platter now. Pakistan played on flattest pitches at home , yet lost the series and on top of that Batting remained same in next Tournaments. This is the right approach, win whatever you can.

 

[jamie smith]

windies should scrapped off their test status,afghans or nepalese would have done better

 

[Justcrazy]

They will not. These two will get murdered on batting friendly pitches.

If you are a good bowler , you will adjust , if not then you will perish. That is how cricket is.

 

[Justcrazy]

windies should scrapped off their test status,afghans or nepalese would have done better

ICC needs to have tier system in Test matches. Its required now , considering the big gap amongest the Test nations.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

@Aqib_mustafa Send a letter to aqib javed.

Tell him to draft sajid for CT

Ya true my bro he should be in at any cost.

 

[Justcrazy]

Noman Ali is first pakistani spinner to take hattrick in test.

 

[Champ_Pal]

everyone gets murdered on those pitches

No mystery to their bowling. Just accurate bowling and pitch is doing the rest.

They can be given a chance . However I believe they will not succeed.

 

[Justcrazy]

To be honest , it is quite possible that Pakistan may also be bowled out under 100 here.

 

[jamie smith]

good batting from tese 2

 

[jamie smith]

If Pakistan batsman play like they usually do, we could have a third innings today."

 

[cricfan4lyfe]

Abrar gets among wickets now

 

[kingusama92]

But don't you think Pakistan batsman need some runs before the champion trophy to get back in the confidence .

Probably but they have the tri-series for that.

It could help with momentum but the red ball is totally different and this format has different field settings. So other than feeling good about themselves, it's not good practice.

The winning will help them going into the tournament with a positive frame of mind though.

 

[Justcrazy]

55 / 8

Pakistan have to look to finish this off here quickly. Every run counts here , never know How pakistan will bat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to finish tail off quickly. Won't be shocked if warrican runs through our batting again on this surface.

 

[Devadwal]

No , that should not be the concern. You need to try and win what is on platter now. Pakistan played on flattest pitches at home , yet lost the series and on top of that Batting remained same in next Tournaments. This is the right approach, win whatever you can.

You'll get you answer after 23 Feb.

 

[jamie smith]

paks inability to get tailenders out quickly has continued

 

[jamie smith]

tbh this pitch is not a minefield and is still good for batting

 

[Justcrazy]

14 runs partnership so far. Gold considering the pitch

 

[Nasty Naz]

Nauman misses out on his 5fer due to non-review.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Need to get the tail out quickly... cannot let them score 30-40 runs

 

[zn426]

All kinds of pressure with 15 dots in a row...finish this

 

[jamie smith]

Replays indicated 19.4 delivery would have gone in favour of Pakistan if they had reviewed the decision, there was no bat involvement and the ball would have hit the leg stump.

 

[jamie smith]

19 dots in a row and now a four

 

[Justcrazy]

Gudakesh has so far got 23 , he is playing very good innings,

 

[jamie smith]

motie has a good battikng average for a number 9

 

[Justcrazy]

Roach is no mug with the bat , WI will be looking to get to 100 from here at least.

 

[jamie smith]

Gudakesh has so far got 23 , he is playing very good innings,

he is a good allrounder

 

[jamie smith]

hurraira has been hit on the head

 

[jamie smith]

Mediocrecricket all around

 

[Savak]

Need to bring a pacer on now.

 

[Justcrazy]

44 balls these two have batted.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan can't let WI tail wag like it is

 

[kingusama92]

Good batting from these two. At least putting up a fight.

 

[baba ghazi]

if pakistan bats properly they may have an inning win here..pathetic batting by windies

 

[jamie smith]

52 balls these 2 have batted

 

[Ahmed216]

52 balls these 2 have batted

Tailenders surviving is actually a good sign for Pakistan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Runs starting to flow for these 2 now.

Pakistan need to go back to basics here. Trying bit to much now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Runs coming in eaasy now... 100 touching

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan's kryptonite is getting 8 wickets and not knowing how to get the remaining.

WI tail in both matches have done way better than WI middle order who fall like a house of cards due to horrific shot selection.

 

[jamie smith]

why hasnt lunch been taken??

 

[Justcrazy]

41 runs partnership so far , This is dangerous for pakistan , need to break this.

 

[jamie smith]

windiess should reverse their batting order in he next innings

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Noman gets his 5 fer

 

[jamie smith]

alhamdulillah roach gone

 

[baba ghazi]

there is no point trying to stick..give some hefty blows and get across 110

 

[jamie smith]

warrican at 11 is serious batting depth

 

[baba ghazi]

windies could still make match of it if they had good captain..brathwaite is poosibly the worst captains around..

 

[jamie smith]

motie is betterr than all the windies batters

 

[Farabi]

Keep Sa

warrican at 11 is serious batting depth

It’s not depth. It’s froth.
Batting never starts

 

[jamie smith]

pak will also get bundled out below 120

 

[jamie smith]

Keep Sa

It’s not depth. It’s froth.
Batting never starts

it was sarcastic

 

[mominsaigol]

100-9

 

[baba ghazi]

ian bishop is literally speechless..even he would have batted better than current windies middle order batters

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Feels like the leak Indian years

 

[followed]

Chacha Nauman is better than sajid tinda.

 

[BouncerGuy]

why hasnt lunch been taken??

still some minutes remaining... 12pm PKT time

 

[followed]

Chacha Nauman would have taken 100s of wickets on those indian dustbowls.

 

[jamie smith]

IS first session 2 and a half hours long

still some minutes remaining... 12pm PKT time

 

[followed]

It's shame chacha Nauman has played only 18 tests yet.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Over-rate has been fabulous... 31 overs so far

 

[jamie smith]

he would have had 500 test wickets by now if he was indian

Chacha Nauman would have taken 100s of wickets on those indian dustbowls.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI would be looking to bow; out Pakistan quickly here as well

 

[baba ghazi]

he would have had 500 test wickets by now if he was indian

800 wickets..could have broken murali record

 

[baba ghazi]

WI would be looking to bow; out Pakistan quickly here as well

they can if backed by good captaincy..

 

[Amjid Javed]

After having WI 38/7 this is poor now from Pakistan

 

[Devadwal]

he would have had 500 test wickets by now if he was indian

I think 500 is very small number , he would have taken atleast 1000 wickets .

He is the best spinner in the history of world cricket .

 

[jamie smith]

From 54/8 to now 114/9 , Pak have left the game drift , could very well be in trouble later

 

[BouncerGuy]

Session extended as umpires want windies to get all out before lunch...LOL

 

[jamie smith]

Why not get Kashif on to finish off the tail.

 

[Savak]

Shan's poor captaincy. Habitually let's the opposition of the hook with his defensiveness

 

[jamie smith]

motie and warrican should be eyeing for 50s

 

[followed]

Tinda sajid loses the plot little bit when he gets attacked but noman chacha is relentless.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Salman drops a catch and tail,continues to hurt pakistan

 

[jamie smith]

rare drop from salman

 

[Amjid Javed]

That was poor from salman

Pakistan are always poor against the tail

 

[Nasty Naz]

Poor stuff from Shan to not get Kashif in at all.

 

[jamie smith]

Once again top 3 scorers are number 9, 10 and 11

 

[baba ghazi]

if windies have some sense .. they will send motie and warrican at least on no 6 and no 7 so they can bat much freely..
