Need to bat a good pace here. We need to give enough time to the bowlers to take the ten wickets to win the game.

Not sure if we need to put up that many runs - even another 100-120 on the board would suffice.
Don't see WI chasing anything above 250 on a pitch where there is rough for the spinners to exploit. Spinners are extracting some turn now.

Haha amazing
This was real test of whether Nawaz can be a good option
I think he did well
Took the big wicket of bravo and instantly delivered when conditions became a bit helpful
And when conditions were terrible he was economical and kept it tight
I have seen little in last days, but 2nd day end was simply pathetic. Watched some high lights of Dharmashala match - MS put Kiwis in & started with 3 slips a Gully in an ODI with Pandeya the bowler - Misbah had 579 at hand against tiered side on field for 11 hours & he had 22 overs left for the day - he allowed an edge through 3rd slip in 2nd over ..... and PAK needs to win 3-0 to keep their points ...
i dont remember when was last time pakistan enforced follow on
Are you scared that WI will score 400?
What you are saying exactly would have been the case had WI been the coach.
yess bro i was thinking the same.....
that was going down leg should have reviewed it man
Well, if this doesn't tell that Aazzu is not for fast scoring, nothing can. Sarfy should have come as opener today, but may be as he didn't bat in 1st innings, Arthur wasn't convinced.
Test cricket is the true reflection of attitude - in a fixed over game being attacking is not an option, it's forced (otherwise no body will mind if you increase your average with 36* in 60 overs). But in Test, you have two options - play safe & risk/manage a draw or take risk to win/lose. Here Misbah has no chance of losing, still his field placings & PAK's scoring rate indicates the attitude.
This is why, he'll never be in same line with Imran, Kardar or Mushtaq.

some of the posters here say that misbah was attacking in some of the wc2015 matches and claim that he was an attacking captain in LOI but i dont agree..that attack was more of a imposed one ......i mean he had no other option there otherwise he is so ensive even his batting,,captaincy,,,when he speaks etc......some posters here rate him above kardar but i dont think so.....he has got just one way of doing it pile up runs and dry out scoring possiblities ,,,,,the rest will be ok which is not a fascinating way.....neither it does work eveytimes......
Misbah is very good in "Result Wicket" - he'll do regular exercise, keep things tight, not much bowling changes, standard fielding positions .... but he is poor to react any change for that he is not a good option for LO cricket.
Turn and Bounce, Yasir is licking his lips right now!
Very good review by the Windies... Man these guys can't play fast at all...
I don't get the mentality of our fans. I don't know what match all of you were watching but Azhar didn't get out trying to attack, nor was he even attacking.
He has a tendancy to open up early against pacers recently and he does get struck on the pad. That ball moved in at pace but it was a poor decision, did look like going down leg.
It would be nice if we didn't use natural mistakes in humans to push our own agenda. He batted well in the first innings and it can be difficult to start again/concentrate at that same level again after fielding for 120 overs. Don't forget hes been on the field for the entire 4 days of the match in the heat. Using this dismissal to prove he can't play quickly when he batted at a strike of above 90 against the same bowlers in an odi is disgusting.

On batting track or good batting opposition, time factor is important to take 20 wickets. But when we say anything about low strike rate of batsmen, ppers say that we are T20 fans and don't know about test cricket

Azhar can never play fast from get go, regardless of the format - brings too much pressure on himself and gets out.
300 is enough for windies they should bat for 5 more overs!!
