What's new

Pakistan take an unassailable 2-0 lead with a comfortable 59 run victory

I hope Azhar realizes he still needs one over from a spinner. As we know he has made this mistake in the past and a spinner was bowling the last over.

You dont bowl death over with spinners thats common sense
 
Even if Wahab takes a 7 fer, he should be axed from the ODI squad, we shouldn't compromise on consistency, he should stick to T20I and Test cricket.
 
yes, he stopped the rhythm when he made a good runout to get rid of in-form bravo and got a chance to dismiss samuels in the same over dropped catch... and now bring back when samuels got well set...

There you go, another for Wahab, If that was Hassan Ali as per captain [MENTION=137698]ask_analyse_act[/MENTION] it would be raining sixes in Sharjah right now :))

good he continued with wahab, thought he might bring a spinner now...
 
SO I thought we would've won it by now but unfortunately 3 wickets were down...But, the boys play well when I have a check on them.

Maybe common sense isn't that common when it comes to Azhar, because that is exactly what is going to happen.


The pacers do not have enough overs left to bowl out the remaining overs.

well yes im an aggressive captain and will try to kill the game before it gives any outside chance for the opponent... this trend of waiting game was developed by MISBAH and learnt very well from his master by azhar...why would u stop a bowler who bowled so well and in rhythm...and u say that was common sense to have him for the end... any total to defend wickets are the key, people who understand that will support my views.....

Imad and Malik can't, but Nawaz can bowl at the death.
 
Looks like Wahab will bowl at the death with Amir. Not a bad move, but 4 from Amir at the death might be too much.

he cant give it to spinners when this giant pollard is in the crease... it is a very big risk...
 
I'd love the westindies to win it from here....what a fight back...the two names in atm can change the game...117 runs in 56 balls
 
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] why after every minutes Kami:tuq is screaming from the stands

did any one listen that voice??
 
this young lad Hassan Ali has done enough to stay in the side, hope so he improves more n more.
need to give Imad an over or two atm.
 
come on guys.,, get brathwaite out he s just a one game wonder so far....narine will be a threat in the end..
 
Imagine if WI required around 20-23 runs in last over and genius azhar has to give that over to a spinner. And WI do get those runs than that is what you call epic.
 
West Indies have left themselves far too much to do.

However they'll be thinking what could've been had Shannon Gabriel stayed fit, giving themselves a better chance of restricting Pakistan to below 280 which could've been a doable chase.
 
Need to get that spinner's over out of the way ASAP
 
lol...mickeys reaction in the dressing room was amazing to see...he's really working with the team
 
We need to bowl 1 over of spin at least - when an who will that be?
 
West Indies have played Imad and Nawaz better tonight. Both have been expensive and haven't taken any wickets.

To be fair though both Nawaz & Imad had catches dropped off their bowling else this match would've been over a lot earlier.

4th Ball: 133kph ("Wahab Riaz is gasping for breath! Look at the sweat on him, like he is in a final round of a heavyweight championship" - Ramiz)
5th Ball: 143kph (Wide fulltoss, put away for 4)
 
And if Azhar gives the next over to Malik...I'll break my laptop...enough is enough.

I was never in the favour of giving captaincy to Azhar, but he has been good today. Bringing Imad there for that one over was a good move.

Big variations in speed there - can see the heat taking a toll on the big man now.

The moment when Azhar fields the bowl, looks at it and rubs it pretending to be a cool captin.

feel sorry for holder... he is trying very hard but pollard is just killing it from the other end... not even a 4 from the big guy...
 
easy win although at one point it looked a little concerning when Samuels was batting.

That view is negligent now because I've seen all top captains in ODIs like Dhoni, Williamson and Smith conserve overs for the end.. you must be living in the Imran Khan days
 
Azhar only brought Imad earlier because he got holder out in the first odi and holder was clueless against his bowling. Good move by skipper. Don't think that these decisions are supposed to work all the time
 
I was never in the favour of giving captaincy to Azhar, but he has been good today. Bringing Imad there for that one over was a good move.

He has been terrible today bro, but that over to Imad was a good move and an obvious one.
