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

Our spin is much better. The only have rabada at the moment in pace department.

None of the Pakistani pacers are a patch on their south African counterparts. They have probably the most impressive stable of seam bowlers in the world. Pakistan are at their weakest in this department in a while.

I am talking about young bowlers. Not steyn and Co.
 
This pitch is still very good for batting. Don't know what happened to us in the second innings.
 
What did Sarfaraz say to Bishoo?

Can someone please translate :D

Bishoo padded the ball because it was outside leg stump, ball rolled down towards fine leg and Bishoo looked like he was thinking of taking a quick single.

"Oi hoye! Pad hua Bishoo!"

"Oi! It hit the pad Bishoo!" (Can't run leg byes if you didn't play a shot)

Oh Ok, Thanks!
 
Basically we played this game with Yasir, Wahab and Amir. Sohail and Nawaz are non existent.
 
they will lose if they play for a draw

Its the opposite.

They will lose if they play for win.

I don't think there is a side in the world who has won a test with 3 wickets left and 3.5 req rate for 70 runs.

But sides have drawn from this position before. Even that is bloody hard and unlikely but there is some chance.

Win is almost impossible.

nope. when they had top order batsmen and a big total, they could afford to defend their way and do the wait and see.
Now that they are close to target, they have one tailender and one decent batsman. It requires a certain amount of bravery for west indies, but if they attack through holder, misbah will give them the field they need to get the singles.
 
Somebody get the mitai out for [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] aka Mr. Pakistan ,since we're on the brink of defeat :afridi

Not true bro.

100+ year history backs my stance.

What you say is purely theoretical.

Defeat? not sure if serious, I was not here for the early commentary.
 
Holder paded a yasir delivery and bishoo shoot off for a run but cricket laws don't allow runs in such a care and meanwhile sarfraz instinctively yelled at bishoo, "pad ho gaya bishoo" which kind mean "what are you onto bishoo, he just paded it and you are not suppose to run for that", but the fun part was that bishoo defo wouldn't have understood a word because he defo not know urdu.

yes, i am saying what is theoretical. If you are asking me what will happen - Pakistan will win.
If you are asking what should happen, thats another story.
 
Well tried little bravo.. They really were going for the target but the rough caused his undoing. Now, we hv to make sure we don't let them off the hook.
