Pakistan v West Indies | 1st Test (D/N) | Dubai (DSC) | Oct 13-17, 2016 | Day 5

This has been such an entertaining and a thrilling test match you gotta look for.

Where has this come to from 579-3 ?
 
Now even [MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] and I are feeling the heat. Still I think we will win. 4th innings are funny
 
Still looking like a Pak win. Let the match get closer and the runrate climb
 
Yasir Shah has been so disappointing. But you can't really blame him when you have useless bowlers like Sohail and Nawaz in this lineup.
 
We are getting exposed as a one man bowling unit. When Yasir doesn't perform to an optimum level, we struggle to win matches.
 
I remember in the first innings lool people said we were so good it was UNFAIR to the West Indies. ����������
 
This sure has been a weird tour for the windies. Who wud have thought they will put up a fight in the tests and surrender meekly in the t20s lol.
 
we were. that third innings though the way we batted we give West Indies an early Eid and Christmas Present.

I would say the commutative law if any.

However, the basic law of maths which suggests if you take something and half it - you have two things?

More importantly - sure why you have your knickers in such a twist about it.... :afaq

Did I upset you by using the wrong terminology somewhere? Should I have said "mathematical principle" or something which you deem more suitable?

Yep. I noticed that too. There is no such thing as a third half.

Waqar makes a lot of syntactic and semantic mistakes.
 
that 3rd innings is looking like it has cost us big time. even getting to 150 and we would be cruising in this game.

Thats quite true , our bowling unit lacks quality. When a bowler averaging mid 30s is a permanent fixture of your test team then we should really worry about our bowling unit. Ironic that we hear our coaches and captains bragging about our bowling strength before the start of every series.
 
Also, I think Misbah is very orthodox. Needs to experiment. Michael Clarke won Aus a match singlehandedly thru his bowling in the last over. AND HE'S A PART TIMER.
 
yasir has been bowling way too quick and has looked toothless in these conditions with the late night Dew.
 
I love Misbah but sometimes I feel his captaincy is school-level.

Jidher shot parre. Udher fielder khara kar do.
 
Yasir will be back to his best in the normal test conditions. But it has been pretty damn poor from our pacers particularly Sohail he has been awful in this 4th innings.
 
India
England
Australia
South Africa
Pakistan
Sri Lanka
New Zealand
West Indies
Bangladesh
Zimbabwe

Test ranking would probably look like this over the next few years.
 
Is it possible that Yasir lost his leg break when he was trying to master the googly with Mushi?

cant compare clarke and pakistani captains... they come out of something like a Harvard kinda system, but for pak u know , nothing to say... but people tend to learn from their mistakes and should be doing a better job than they did it in the past that is what experience is for...:sanga
 
Indian pace attack is much better than ours. Wahab is a joke.
 
Do Pakistani players think that the louder they appeal the more chances of the umpire giving it out?
 
hahahaha why even bother with that hawkeye? I know it's protocol but come on... :))

they are not that good; this wicket is not the type to play Sohail on while Nawaz is not good enough spinner to be selected in test team to begin with

Well it is irrelevant if they are not good enough now as they were selected and it is not if they were being taken for too many runs. Nawaz was economical in the first inns and picked up 2 wickets. He's done well in the 2nd inns too.

Sohail has not been bad either been economical just not had many overs in the 2nd.

So why is it so has to be asked.

I agree Pak is still in front but i guess still a pitch where bishoo took 8, people may end up questioning Yasir for being ineffective or unable to spin them to an 'easy win' on Day 5. Just speculating.

Oh...got it.

Pak fans are ruthless. They can turn anyone into a hero or zero within 24 hours.

Anyways as I type, wicket falls.
 
Was about to criticize Yasir, but then had to delete what I wrote because he took the big wicket in the process.
