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

[emranabbas]

Rizwan has been outstanding on these pitches probably only he and Saud can handle them effectively. If this is the approach we’re taking, we need more players capable of performing on these types of surfaces.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I thought rizwan would get to 50 and get out. He did the 2nd part as expected

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nauman

150 all out

 

[Kianig89]

WI might get a lead here , Aqiball in hot waters

 

[castortroy]

What kind of pitch is this lol

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan have regressed beyond repair , fast bowlers extincted batsmen non existant

 

[Kianig89]

Only way to win from here is bowl out WI @60

 

[Asad T]

risky stuff from riz, running down the wicket to Warrician and driving against the spin on a turning track
he's done well today, but I always feel on edge watching him bat like this

it finally happened

 

[Amjid Javed]

Usual clueless batting from Pakistan. WI get 150 lead and Pakistan will lose this test

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have regressed beyond repair , fast bowlers extincted batsmen non existant

They’ve won their last 3 Test matches at home

 

[Kianig89]

Can Pakistan tail match WI here and take us to 230ish

 

[Amjid Javed]

What kind of pitch is this lol

Pathetic batting more than the pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pretty low quality first day pitch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Now salman has to bat with tail again..

 

[Rana]

Sajid should just go for the charge here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Salman needs to play some shots, just blocking ain't going to help the cause

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow how can you have such a big gap between keeper and leg slip

 

[Kianig89]

17 wickets so far at 290 runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Batting last will be very hard by the look of it if it keeps deteriorating

 

[Ahmed216]

WI go from 38/7 to winning this game. Great comeback

 

[Markhor]

Just tuned in. Pitch looks very very dry. Damn this already looks like a day 7 pitch. Sana Mir commentary is like you hear from Ghaza live reporting.

I'm all for turning pitches and home advantage but not lottery surfaces producing 17 wickets (and counting) in a day. I think they baked the pitch in that greenhouse for too long.

 

[Kianig89]

Very happy for Ian Bishop he deserves something other than luxury hotels and complimentary lunch

 

[m.shah]

25 more

 

[castortroy]

Pathetic batting more than the pitch

To be fair these are 2 very poor teams but the pitch is a farce

 

[Kianig89]

But our fans are liking this lotto approach

 

[Rana]

Why, your Bobsy and Rizwan can’t manage 150?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This warrican is a bang average bowler

 

[Kianig89]

50 runs lead will be ideal

 

[Kianig89]

Why, your Bobsy and Rizwan can’t manage 150?

Who let them from 38/7

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic bowling by Warrican

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sajid showing good intent

 

[batandballbattle]

all of a sudden we have let WI back in this game, looking to take a healthy lead at one stage but now even getting the scores level is looking difficult

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaaba Sajid

 

[Rana]

Who let them from 38/7

Who got them to 38-7????

It’s cricket you fool!

 

[m.shah]

Good shot from Sajid

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid is a very good lower order batter... Very handy

 

[Deewana Mastana]

all of a sudden we have let WI back in this game, looking to take a healthy lead at one stage but now even getting the scores level is looking difficult

They were let back in this game at 35-7

 

[Ahmed216]

50 runs lead will be ideal

Criminal letting the last 2 WI wickets score more than 100 on this pitch.
Been a trend during Shan's tenure

 

[castortroy]

I do think there should be 2 divisions in Test cricket.

The gap between the top teams and say for example teams like pak and Windies is too big

 

[Kianig89]

Sajid the warrior carry on

 

[Amjid Javed]

To be fair these are 2 very poor teams but the pitch is a farce

Pitch isn't that bad, the ball isn't turning square, nor is their uneven bounce.

It's just pathetic batting from both teams

 

[m.shah]

Such pitches is the need of hour but need some less baking

 

[Markhor]

But our fans are liking this lotto approach

I like the SL pitches. They take turn but good batsmen with sound techniques against spin can still score and score big.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I'm all for turning pitches and home advantage but not lottery surfaces producing 17 wickets (and counting) in a day. I think they baked the pitch in that greenhouse for too long.

Whatever we see today should be happening late on day 4. Not day 1.

 

[Human786]

146/8

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Salman gone too

 

[Devadwal]

15 runs Partnership . Very useful for pakistan .

Can agha takes 40+ lead for pakistan ?

 

[castortroy]

Didn't realise Windies were 38/7.

What a comeback for them

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why was Sinclair bowling all this time

Was Motie not well or something?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Whatever we see today should be happening late on day 4. Not day 1.

correction. It is day 7 pitch.

 

[Kianig89]

WI in ascendancy, Pakistan fell flat expecting a good 2nd innings from WI

 

[BouncerGuy]

Salman was not comfortable and in the end he has to pay the price.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor from salman

 

[Rana]

Agha the fraud


Was happily hiding at number 7 picking up buffet runs down the order on flatties

 

[baba ghazi]

pakistan batting is really poor..they faced a mediocre windies attack and yet they failed

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just like shan the fraud.

 

[mominsaigol]

Agha the fraud


Was happily hiding at number 7 picking up buffet runs down the order on flatties

Yeah, I was completely wrong about him. He turned out to be another flat track bully and that too at no 7 when all bowlers were tired and worn out

 

[kingusama92]

Both sides have gifted a lot of wickets today too.

 

[baba ghazi]

that was jadeja level delivery by motie

 

[Kianig89]

Agha Salman the vice captain threw the kitchen sink

 

[Markhor]

Why was Sinclair bowling all this time

Was Motie not well or something?

Motie had cramps in his calf I think earlier.

 

[m.shah]

Agha the fraud


Was happily hiding at number 7 picking up buffet runs down the order on flatties

Ball kept very low

 

[castortroy]

You don't have to be a great spinner to get wickets wickets on these tracks

 

[Rana]

Yeah, I was completely wrong about him. He turned out to be another flat track bully and that too at no 7 when all bowlers were tired and worn out

He isn’t an FTB

He’s a crafty little….

He was happy to hide at 7 because it gives him freedom to stay not out with the tail and boost his average

Realistically the bloke is a 4-5 batsman.

 

[Devadwal]

Agha the fraud


Was happily hiding at number 7 picking up buffet runs down the order on flatties

But but your wannabe friends said Agha is better than Rizwan.

 

[Kianig89]

One innings shoot out it will be

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bazid Ali says "This is fascinating stuff" lol How is this fascinating. Amir sohail makes a bizzarre statement "There are no gremlins on the pitch" lol Ball is turning corners, rolling occasionally.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Motie had cramps in his calf I think earlier.

No wonder otherwise this innings would've folded earlier.

 

[Ahmed216]

Industrial fans polyhouse

 

[Markhor]

Ridiculous turn. What the heck. Curator has absolutely overdone this.

 

[shah9425]

Except Rizwan and Saud everyone throwing their wickets

 

[mominsaigol]

But but your wannabe friends saud Agha is better than Rizwan.

I still stand by it. Never said agha is a quality player. Just that he's the best allrounder from the current crop (Nawaz, Shadab, Chacha) and > Rizwan.

Will still stand by it.

 

[Human786]

149/9

 

[Rana]

But but your wannabe friends said Agha is better than Rizwan.

They are better

Time will always tell

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar

 

[castortroy]

Pak tail enders are comical

 

[RehanG]

One innings shoot out it will be

by the looks of it WI with a lead.

 

[Kianig89]

P 11 W 3 D 0 L 8

Guess who win % 27.7

 

[Devadwal]

Ridiculous turn. What the heck. Curator has absolutely overdone this.

Spinning tracks are good but this is extreme conditions .

 

[jnaveen1980]

I won't say this is called "Throwing away wicket". Most of these shots would have been preceded by unplayable deliveries. That would lead to desperate shots.
