Pakistan v West Indies | 1st Test (D/N) | Dubai (DSC) | Oct 13-17, 2016 | Day 2

[heddie19]

Azhar Ali has potential to be the best opener in the world.

Yes Indeed

 

[Big Mac]

Windies are no match for Aussies and England let's be honest

And even in those innings Sarafaraz would attack

Yeah,Sarfraz attacks. The top order doesn't, let's worry about the run rate once Azhar and Babar have reduced the Windies bowling to tears. They already look mentally shot after the white ball cricket, time to destroy them physically so they have no chance in the rest of the series.

Azhar triple hundred, Babar hundred, then Sarfraz sweeps and runs them ragged at one end while Misbah is free to take another shot at the fastest test century

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

50 for Azam, good stuff. They should let Azam try and get a 100, and Azhar get a 300. Then declare.

Javed Miandad. Scored a 100 on debut, and never let the average dip below 50.

Herbert Sutcliffe's test average never dropped below 60.

 

[Slog]

Wow did you guys see that

West Indies are mentally shot now

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lol what the heck just happened,shambles.

 

[Jabo]

Technically it's a few more people as well. A couple of old people

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Azhar Ali reaching 250 in style with a six lol.

 

[Inswing]

WI just want to leave the field

 

[Mir jibran]

250

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar 250

babaar 50

 

[marlonbrowndo]

When are these guys planning on declaring. What the hell was that on the boundary....

 

[Slog]

What happened?

Fielder dove and stopped the bowl at the boundary and attempted to pas it to the guy next to him so that he could throw it to the keeper. He missed his aim and threw it over the ropes

 

[Chief Destroyer]

They don't count.

Where am I? What is this place? What am I doing here?!

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

50 more for Azam and Azhar, then declare.

 

[Boi]

) ) that was hilarious

 

[adil_909]

west indies crumbling like donald trumps campaign

 

[Justcrazy]

Don Bradman

Its Miandad .

Bradman early on averaged less than 50

 

[MMHS]

Technically, Babar as well. But, I should have qualified with a minimum cap - say 50 Tests. Because Guentaname (!&%$#) has career average of 112 with his only Test innings).

For a proper career Javed never had his average below 50; but the man who was outstanding is Herbart Sutcliffe - in 54 Tests, his lowest average was at the end of his last innings : 60.83

Bradman started career with 8, so, after 1st innings his average was 8 & he actually was dropped for that debut.

 

[Slog]

Lol West Indies commentator taking shots at England domestic system

Sharam karo kuch

 

[MMHS]

Babar has a fantastic chance to get a debut hundred here & remain not out.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

west indies crumbling like donald trumps campaign

Quite an apt comparison.

 

[Adijazz1706]

I'm starting to like the idea of the 2-tier Test system, this is ridiculously 1-sided

Aus, Eng, Pak, Sa and Ind in Tier 1 and NZ, WI, Ban and SL in Tier 2.

 

[Justcrazy]

Are you sure ?

That will kill Test cricket in most countries. What we need is a proper FTP. Also, till 60s there were different duration of Test, now every thing is 5 days, which is not fair. Better teams should compete with Clock as well. We need to introduce 4 day Test for matches between Tier 1 & 2.

 

[GreenTigers]

Azhar's strike rate has improved much (currently at 61.00). Should try to convert it into 70.00.

On contrary, WI are totally down.

Only difference being SL whitewashed Australia in their last series.

Nt exactly a tier difference.

 

[MMHS]

Babar has 25 overs to get a hundred, Azhar should get a triple.

 

[Justcrazy]

herbart was also fastest to reach 1000 runs in Test cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

2 tier test system is pointless. SL just whitewashed Oz and NZ will do much better at home. Only Windies among top 8 teams are truly atrocious.

 

[Abdullah]

Babar needs to try and get to 75+ by the break, otherwise may not get chance for 100

 

[saeed5646]

Ian BIshop Favorite ground is Karachi Waoooooooooooh

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar now has a higher Test score than , , and

 

[MMHS]

PAK is on course to the session target 530 (may be a little less as the over rate declined). May be Misbah can bat till 165th over & give 13 overs to his pacers.

 

[Justcrazy]

babaar 65 not out

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Azhar now has a higher Test score than , , and

Lol look at this attack, the ball and the conditions. Ravindra jadeja might score a triple ton here.

 

[Rayyman]

Ian BIshop Favorite ground is Karachi Waoooooooooooh

only international stadium i've been to.

 

[Mamoon]

Bat for 25 more overs, giving WI 15 overs to negotiate.

Azhar gets his triple hundred; Babar gets his hundred.

Perfection.

 

[MMHS]

Sarfu should come next, if there is a wicket.

 

[GreenTigers]

Babar looks much more comfortable and enjoying his first Test. Good sight.

Thread isn't looking very active today... So let's have some fun questions (Please don't use Google or Statguru to find answer)

Who is the only Pakistani bowler to have 12 or more wickets in a Test match against 4 different Test nations.

And let's see if you can name all those 4 Test nations not just the bowler name...

Guru @MMSH can skip this question

National stadium is so boring though.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar has been amazing in this Test so far, hopefully should get 300 as well as passing 4000 Test runs; Babar on his way to score his first Test ton.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

National stadium is so boring though.

Not when it's full.

 

[saeed5646]

Last 10 overs 60/0 Run Rate 6.00

Good going

 

[Rayyman]

National stadium is so boring though.

What about throwing bottles at people's heads.

This is Quite an Easy one... The Answer is Fazal Mahmood.

vs India in Lucknow
vs England in The Oval
vs Australia in Karachi
vs Westindies in Dhaka

His Lancashire league cricket numbers are just out of this world and if you look at them then you'd probably be blown away. Average in Single digits if I am not too mistaken.

 

[Rayyman]

Babar gone.

 

[Abdullah]

Sarfu should come next, if there is a wicket.

No wanna see some 1 knee 6s by misbah

 

[Inswing]

Damn bye bye babar

 

[TalhaSyed]

Bat for 25 more overs, giving WI 15 overs to negotiate.

Azhar gets his triple hundred; Babar gets his hundred.

Perfection.

Bat for 2.5 days.

Bowl WI out twice in 2.5 days on a crumbling day 4/5 spinning wicket.

Misbah scores 100

Azhar scores 400

Perfection.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar out...

 

[Mamoon]

Both Shafiq and Babar missed out on easy tons.

 

[MRSN]

Why the hell would you get out on 69? Easy hundred missed.

 

[Boi]

Aw unlucky Babar.

Time for Misbah to try regain his fastest hundred.

 

[Abdullah]

Misbah should tell azhar the over limit now. So azhar can go for the highest pak score

 

[MRSN]

Bat for 2.5 days.

Bowl WI out twice in 2.5 days on a crumbling day 4/5 spinning wicket.

[WebGuru]

[saeed5646]

Their goes Babar current test series Straight Swap FOR Younis with babar

See you Babar in Nz test series Missed a Huge opportunity to score a hundred today

 

[Abdullah]

And that sweep

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why the hell would you get out on 69? Easy hundred missed.

Maybe so he can tell people my first ever Test score was 69. I'd do that
