Pakistan v West Indies | 1st Test (D/N) | Dubai (DSC) | Oct 13-17, 2016 | Day 4

Honestly though, there was no chance Misbah could have enforced a follow on here.

Don't know why people are blaming Misbah here.
 
I think Pakistan and West Indies should play against each other more often. Unbelievable teams. Could have gone on to score a 1000 in the first innings and scoring even a 100 in the second looks like an achievement.
 
It's actually good to see the match moving forward.

Pakistan are winning this one - 90% certain. West Indies 5% and draw 5%.
 
Also, I've always thought that the West Indies are an extremely strong unit. If they play they're best side, they'd easily be in the top 4. Bishoo has been pretty good ever since that ball of the century lookalike he bowled.
 
Pakistan has had troubles with legspin for a long time, Warne, Rashid and now Bishoo.

I've observed a general weakness for Pakistan against bowlers spinning the ball away from the righties - leggies and SLAs.

India have trouble against those spinning the ball in - offies.:moali
 
Where are the people saying Amir has forgotten how to swing the ball?
 
Pitch is a graveyard for pacers. Misbah should set a defensive field until Yasir comes on.

It's just the 1 compulsory Pakistani collapse per series. Good time to have it now, had it at a bad time against NZ though.
 
Its really baffling how Amir isn't taking wickets . .I am positive he will bowl much much worse and pick up much more wickets . .
 
If we keep bowling them Sohail Khan, they're just going to get settled and be hard to get out even with Yasir. Need to bring on the spin twins supported by triple century.
 
Why are people complaining about non-enforcement of follow-on ?

You seriously wanted the bowlers to go back out there after 123 overs in sapping UAE heat ?
This isn't a video game !
 
West Indies have no hope in hell of saving this.

Would be interesting to see how long they last just to see their survival skills.

Have no understanding of the game.

Both Pak and WI are unpredictable sides. So you never know.

It will be Yasir vs WI. If they manage him as Lara did against Warne, they can win
 
Is Amir taking the 'unlucky' title away from Rahat Ali?
 
Enough of sher khan, replace him with yasir and amir can have 5 overs spell, because it's the only in which he have any chance of getting wicket.
 
Guys, does this mean that Pakistan doesn't deserve the no.1 rank or was this just a darn good pitch?

I've given up trying to explain this to people.
 
Huh 123 AO? What happened to pitch! :O

If Bishoo picks 8 wickets, :yasir might equal Kumble and Laker's record of perfect 10!

If you have enough points, you deserve the no. 1 rank. Pakistan deserved it at the end of the summer, India deserve it now.

No. 1 rank =/= best team in the world.
 
If Windies are not atleast 2 down by end of play I'll be very nervous
 
Yasir is going to run through this lineup. Everyone needs to relax.
