Pakistan continue domination of West Indies with a 82-run win to take a 2-0 lead in 3-match series

[zn426]

That's why rotating the strike is so important. Even if you take away the boundaries Babar is 11 off 13 and Talat is 15 off 18.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Lifetime opportunity for Babar to inflate his SR

 

[Syed1]

Lifetime opportunity for Babar to inflate his SR

Well he is playing WI, one of the two teams in the world he actually performs against. I'm expecting Bobby to look like an ATG in this series.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

6 runs from Smiths first over

 

[Hermoine Green]

these short boundaries are a disgrace to cricket

Yep, T20s should be playing in 75+M grounds )

 

[predictablyunpredictable]

He played like a dream against World XI as well. I think it has more to do with playing in Pakistan than the opposition

[troodon]

Odean Smith is making VInay Kumar look like a blazing pacer.

Averages 56 against Australia in odis. Just saying.

I thought so by now i doubt it, playing dollies and full toss for intelligent singles

 

[Hermoine Green]

Odean Smith is making VInay Kumar look like a blazing pacer.

Didnt he touch 150 in CPL?

 

[DeadBall]

Averages 56 against Australia in odis. Just saying.

Due to a century in a losing cause. Showed no intent whatsoever of chasing down the total.

 

[Syed1]

Good over by Paul so far, on the back of the good over by Odeon

 

[Fahdi]

Shot! by Talat

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Liking what I've seen from Keemo last two games.

 

[Syed1]

What a brilliant shot of a yorker and Mr. Vicki showing why he shouldn't be in the comm. box

 

[Khan12]

Due to a century in a losing cause. Showed no intent whatsoever of chasing down the total.

He was talking about performance. Plus scored a 84 too.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Intelligent stroke from Talat. He ain't a cluless hitter nor he is tuk tuk.

But some posters thought he is another Shezzi

 

[Rana]

Very Impressive batting by these two so far. Loving it

 

[troodon]

Target already out of reach for WI.

Pak batsman can practice now.

 

[Syed1]

If a wicket falls after the 12th over, I'd like if they give Asif a go with a licence to go hell to leather

 

[Plumb]

Soon Talat will be in ODIs... good times ahead

 

[Syed1]

The two are competing to out-do each other.... in the end Pakistan benefits

 

[Rana]

West Indies Fieldiers since yesterday LOOOL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

West Indies making Pakistan look like South Africa in the field

 

[Sirris]

Hussain Talat doesn't look like your typical Pakistani batsman.

 

[Syed1]

Bhai insay simple fielding nahi hoti?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have rested Aamir , pointless in playing him in 20 20 , better give shaheeh afridi all 3 games

 

[Hermoine Green]

What a brilliant shot of a yorker and Mr. Vicki showing why he shouldn't be in the comm. box

M. Yousuf used to play a shot like this on yorker.

 

[DeadBall]

These two complimenting each other well, keeping the RR going without playing many risky shots.

 

[nighthawk23]

this windies team is an affront to cricket.

 

[shokz1408]

This is too easy.

 

[Justcrazy]

90 . 1

10 overs

 

[Titan24]

Hussain Talat doesn't look like your typical Pakistani batsman.

Yes its pretty impressive how proactive he is on the wicket along with natural game sense

 

[Plumb]

Lots of people are talking about WI being weak. I only see the benefit of pak players playing in home conditions and boosting their confidence.

That's something they won't gain in UAE

 

[Rana]

One of these two should go on and score a hundred, enough of these lovely 50s and 60s

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes its pretty impressive how proactive he is on the wicket along with natural game sense

That shows Pakistan playing people like hafeez and Azhar were wrong.

 

[Fahdi]

WI fielding has been truly attrocious this series. We got 200 thanks to the misfields and they have already given 10 runs this innings

 

[Sirris]

Intelligent stroke from Talat. He ain't a cluless hitter nor he is tuk tuk.

But some posters thought he is another Shezzi

From time to time he does hit straight to the fielder though nowhere as often as Shehzad does.

 

[Titan24]

WI, Srl, Bng all will have same fate against this Pak T20 team NZ, Aus, SA, Eng might have competed well but still would have lost

 

[Rana]

Talat...

Head position when playing a big shot needs to be worked on

 

[SaadAliG]

"You gotta handle the pressure properly well", Rameez.

 

[Syed1]

PSL has had a bigger impact on the Pakistan side, than the IPL had on the Indian.


FACT

 

[Arham_PakFan]

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar out of shell today , playing shots

 

[Rana]

50 from 30

Much much better from Babar

 

[Hermoine Green]

by Talat

 

[Arham_PakFan]

50 for Babar off 30 balls

 

[Rayyman]

This is so sad

 

[sadida97]

Liking what I've seen from Keemo last two games.

Views on Talat ?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

101-1 after 11 overs.200 on again

 

[Justcrazy]

101 / 1

11 overs

 

[troodon]

Didnt he touch 150 in CPL?

I dont know what he did in CPL, but he is a trundelr. Takes 5 steps to bowl and delivers 125k thunderbolts.

 

[DeadBall]

These set of players genuinely seem to appreciate the successes of their team mates.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Feeling sorry for Windies

 

[Abdul]

Send Asif Ali if a wicket falls.

 

[Rana]

Whenever we see Wasim and Waqar together on screen and acting like friends/brothers.

Diplomacy at its finest

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Views on Talat ?

Batsmanship is good. Needs more stability at the crease. A lot of unnecessary movement.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

This is the worst fielding display I have seen since the 90s

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Atrocious fielding

 

[Fahdi]

Babar 50 off 30 here. 50 off 29 against NZ. I get he is overrated and not even among the top 10 T20 bats but some people talk as if he is Hafeez 2.0

 

[Rana]

There could be a montage of misfields on the boundary by the West Indies

 

[Arham_PakFan]

50 for Talat!

 

[Abdul]

What the hell? Why would you take your helmet off?

 

[DeadBall]

Finally WI manage to field one.

 

[Markhor]

Hussain Talat doesn't look like your typical Pakistani batsman.

Yeah its nice to such fluent batting in a lineup that's been too one dimensional over the years.

Good fifty from Hussain Talat - will face tougher opponents than this but a confidence boosting start to his international career.

 

[Sirris]

What the hell? Why would you take your helmet off?

Because you feel like doing it.

 

[Markhor]

Filthy bowling. Come on man.

 

[IAJ]

Well done Talat, congratulations.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

four more for Talat

 

[Rayyman]

What the hell? Why would you take your helmet off?

Sarfraz, Sharjeel and Fakhar have done that too.

 

[Titan24]

What the hell? Why would you take your helmet off?

His first ever 50 for Pakistan, I think its pretty normal

 

[Khan12]

Batsmanship is good. Needs more stability at the crease. A lot of unnecessary movement.

Upgrade over hafeez?

 

[IAJ]

Finally WI manage to field one.

They are letting the easy ones through.

 

[Rana]

Want to see Babar throw the bat at the ball, power hitting now lads!

 

[sjahmed23]

Talat hasn't looked fully convincing looks like another one of those batsmen who do well against minnows but struggle against better sides.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Upgrade over hafeez?

Without a doubt.

 

[Justcrazy]

114 / 1

12 overs

 

[Markhor]

This is the worst fielding display I have seen since the 90s

Ranks alongside Sri Lanka's comical displays throughout our 2015 tour.

 

[Theo_14]

Talat hasn't looked fully convincing looks like another one of those batsmen who do well against minnows but struggle against better sides.

Lowkey agree with this. Time will tell.
