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

[ExpressPacer]

WI shouldn't really think of winning it right now' - Waqar younis. Come on, even after playing under Imran, you still have this approach.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Looks like Amir finally locking his wrist and flicking it.

 

[saeed5646]

How many overs left?

Min overs remaining 32.5

 

[Haroon786]

Min overs remaining 32.5

Will only get 26-27 in though.

 

[imshally81]

Amir is seriously unlucky

 

[Slog]

Min overs remaining 32.5

Wow that's a lot

I have to revise my expectation

Need atleast three down by end of day

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Only Bravo and Samuels can counter Yasir for some time. Blackwood I guess will play aggressively, that's the only option for WI lower order against Messi.

Having said all these will need a miracle (Lara-esque) innings from someone if they have to even come close.

 

[Belawal2014]

How many overs left in the day?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

For that we will need some seriously biased umpiring

Ha ha good one. WI even if they are 100/0 will get skittled out against Yasir.

 

[saeed5646]

Will only get 26-27 in though.

day 1 w.i bowls 35 over in last session

day 3 we also bowl 35 over so let see we can get 31 minimum

 

[Zeshan547]

Match will end at 12 am, we will get around 23 to 25 overs more, and our target should be keep WI under 100, and get at very least 2 wickets, any thing less and WI will be favorites.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir Shah on now !

 

[Slog]

Will only get 26-27 in though.

Why?

No light issue

 

[Haroon786]

Amir needs to improve by quite a bit, don't see him being kept in the team if he performs like this in NZ and Australia.

 

[Haroon786]

Why?

No light issue

Play ends in an hour and 40 minutes.

 

[Adil_94]

got to say love Fazeer Muhammads commentary. He is such a knowledgable analyst. really knows his history.

 

[MRSN]

great batting by Pakistan today against one proper spinner in these conditions.

 

[saeed5646]

Why is that lady watching this match all by herself

May be free wifi

 

[shaz619]

Amir needs to improve by quite a bit, don't see him being kept in the team if he performs like this in NZ and Australia.

Who would replace him?

 

[imshally81]

Yesssd

 

[Boi]

Amir gets his man!!

 

[Slog]

Yessss

And amir too finally

 

[MRSN]

got to say love Fazeer Muhammads commentary. He is such a knowledgable analyst. really knows his history.

he is classy as well and most of the times spot on unlike Ramiz confuses Raja.

 

[Markhor]

Got him !

 

[Rayyman]

Amir needs to improve by quite a bit, don't see him being kept in the team if he performs like this in NZ and Australia.

Talk nah.

 

[imshally81]

No need to replace him

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Amir gets his first!

 

[NauV]

Finally!!! Deserved this so much!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

If Windies are not atleast 2 down by end of play I'll be very nervous

i expect them to be 5 down but looks like WI are playing well here... the slide starts while i type this..jinxed WI

 

[saeed5646]

Play ends in an hour and 40 minutes.

yasir is bowling at 4g speed so we have a chance

 

[Justcrazy]

Nine more to go

 

[JaDed]

There goes the first one

 

[Taaya]

Yes Amir, my boy. Time to shut these haters up, especially the ones who don't watch the match and criticize based on scorecards!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Messi will not get his 10fer

 

[Slog]

Amirs first ever test wicket in UAE

Long time coming and Hopefully first of many

 

[aukhan]

 

[Haroon786]

Who would replace him?

Amir.

 

[Zeshan547]

Is the "unlucky" amir curse over now? Or just a false dawn?

 

[Haroon786]

Talk nah.

He improved lol.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir has bowled really well today

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yes Amir, my boy. Time to shut these haters up, especially the ones who don't watch the match and criticize based on scorecards!

The worst kinda people...

 

[Haroon786]

Is the "unlucky" amir curse over now? Or just a false dawn?

Keep the pessimism to yourself.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

And there we have it, Amir has gotten his first wicket, hopefully a turn of fortune for the guy. Now leave the other 9 for :yshah1

 

[Justcrazy]

Bravo will be key wicket here.

 

[Haroon786]

haha

That MA smiley is off putting.

Amir looked tired the last 5 balls of his over.

 

[Haroon786]

Bravo will be key wicket here.

That's a given considering he's the best batsman in WI.

 

[Adil_94]

two lefties against Yasir with the rough outside their off stump. its only a matter of time.

 

[Slog]

Damn that's some serious turn!

Almost equivalent to a day 1 pitch in India these days

 

[Markhor]

Hoping for a couple of more wickets before stumps.

 

[Haroon786]

Wouldn't mind a googly from Yasir just to play with the mind of their batsmen.

 

[MRSN]

here comes the fake all rounder.

 

[Haroon786]

Hoping for a couple of more wickets before stumps.

Latter two - surely the nationality of the umpires mattered more.

 

[Slog]

Lol Waqar trying to big up Mr. 50 average

 

[mz123]

what is waqar saying ? I s he contradicting himself ?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

"He's not a youngster" - Waqar describing Zulfiqar Babar. Well that's one way to put it.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

They are attacking Messi, not good. Wicket is around the corner.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Can't believe Waqar has coached Pak for 4 years. At times just doesn't make sense.

 

[Pakpak]

"He's not a youngster" - Waqar describing Zulfiqar Babar. Well that's one way to put it.

I love Waqar but oh man sometimes he's poor. He kept calling the 31 yr old azhar a youngster too the other day.

 

[Slog]

"He's not a youngster" - Waqar describing Zulfiqar Babar. Well that's one way to put it.

Haha that gives the impression that he's 27,28 or sth

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why is Nawaz bowling over the wicket?

 

[Slog]

I love Waqar but oh man sometimes he's poor. He kept calling the 31 yr old azhar a youngster too the other day.

Everyone does

Wasim keeps calling him and Shafiq youngsters too on ptv

 

[Slog]

Why is Nawaz bowling over the wicket?

Maybe use rough?

 

[imshally81]

Need Wahab from the another end...

 

[Strike!]

Well, Pak are certainly making this match exciting.

 

[Slog]

Nawaz aim should be to keep very tight line and give no runs.

Will build pressure for Yasir

 

[Justcrazy]

Nawaz needs to support yasir here.

 

[Slog]

Next match we should drop Sohail Khan and play a spinner

3 spinners

 

[Big Mac]

WI shouldn't really think of winning it right now' - Waqar younis. Come on, even after playing under Imran, you still have this approach.

Well he's right. Windies need to just bat time and not lose any wickets. They probably won't win if they don't have 7 or 8 wickets in hand halfway through the penultimate session but they can definitely still lose. The pitch is still pretty good for batting so the runs will come without needing to attack too much.

Also, can we stop with the myth of Imran being all out attack please?

 

[Markhor]

That is a huge six from Darren Bravo. Such a clean hitter of the spinners.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yasir is completely useless when batsmen are attacking him.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Need to get Bravo out...

 

[Justcrazy]

WI would be happy if the go to stumps with two down

 

[Haroon786]

Yasir is not bowling any varieties, needs to bowl a googly or a topspinner every once in a while to keep the batsmen guessing.

 

[Rayyman]

Aagaya Wahab.

 

[Markhor]

Its incredible how throughout history, no matter the strength of the West Indian side, there are some matches where Pakistan looked CERTAIN to win the match - but the West Indies pull a victory out of the bag.

Edgbaston ODI in the 1975 World Cup.
Georgetown Test of 1988.
Antigua Test of 2000.
And just to add to the list more recently - Guyana Test of 2011 when chasing only 219.

Hope this won't be one of those occasions.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Here is the go-to guy

 

[Haroon786]

I used to think Bish was an objective commentator but he is as biased as they come - seriously WI winning ?

 

[Rayyman]

Get Johnson out.

 

[Haroon786]

Lol pretty sure you posted this same thing before in this very thread.

 

[Hamza_]

I cant believe it seriously. What circus is going on. Pathetic batting by us.
