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

[Adil_94]

Yasir getting smashed by Chase. Getting worried now. edit Thank God.

 

[Big Mac]

That's a great shot from out of the rough

 

[Aviator]

Yasir never performs when he's needed the most....

 

[GreenTigers]

Yaar need to stop these boundaries.

 

[Big Mac]

Yasir getting smashed by Chase. Getting worried now.

Why? Let him keep trying to hit him out of the rough, he won't last long.

 

[-=Umair=-]

Chase gone yasir shah strikes

 

[MRSN]

Talk nah.

nothing to talk about. crap batsman and it was again an arm ball nothing more.

 

[shaaik]

Where's fazeer Mohammad.. He wd be jumping in joy..

 

[Aviator]

hahahhahaha....sorry i'll takemy words back.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

See now this will lead to more wickets

 

[shaaik]

There we go.. The flood gates are open. What a silly shot. That's what over confidence can do to you.

 

[Rayyman]

LET"S GOOOO!!!!!

 

[Anwar]

Yasir's 1st wicket of the innings could not of come at a better time !

 

[JaDed]

Finally much needed breakthrough,bad by Chase was doing pretty well. And the collapse is coming!

 

[troodon]

WI will fold from here.

They will lose by around 90 runs.

 

[Ankit007]

Need Bravo and its all over for WI

 

[JaDed]

Bravo is in a mediocre team where players are not developing but he defn has done well in both the innings imo.

 

[Big Mac]

Yasir getting smashed by Chase. Getting worried now. edit Thank God.

Yasir never performs when he's needed the most....

Why? Let him keep trying to hit him out of the rough, he won't last long.

 

[shaaik]

This Shane Dowrich guy seems to be a real deal even at sthis young age. I think he's going to hv a long and future ahead.

 

[Rayyman]

with some :AAG

 

[GreenTigers]

Could be the opening we need from the other end.

 

[JaDed]

Lmao

 

[street cricketer]

This is test match cricket at its best.

You know you got this in the bag, yet with every 20 run partnership, you get slightly anxious about the result. This match reminds me very much of India England match at Lords. India set around 330 in the final innings for England I think and after the initial break throughs, Root was going on with firm resolve at one end. Enter Ishant Marshall

Sends a barrage of bouncers and the English batsmen get sucked in like flies to a fire light (Ishant is fire anyway) and collapse in a heap. Pakistan needs just one more wicket to knock the stuffing out of Windies. But this has been one great fight from them in the final day gotta say..

 

[Red Devil]

WAHAAAAB

 

[shaaik]

Wahab you beauty ...

 

[Markhor]

Floodgates have opened now.

 

[Anwar]

What a yorker!!

 

[Red Devil]

This is why I love this guy. Produces manic out of nowhere.

 

[The_KING]

Yes Wahab you tiger!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Searching for all the wrist slitters...

 

[GreenTigers]

Here we go.. as I said, could be the opening for us ... com'on boy!!!. leave Bravo standing on other end and take wickets from one end.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Like I said.

 

[Yatoo]

Bravo still out there guys

 

[MRSN]

the last two wickets were true mirror of this WI batting line up. really nothing deliveries yet give away wickets.

 

[NauV]

This is what I absolutely love about Wahab!! He is not a 100% . . not close . . but his relentlessness .. he just keeps coming . . captains delight . . amazing! Take a Bow!

 

[Anwar]

lets not celebrate too early. still 4 wickets to get.

 

[Abdullah]

This Shane Dowrich guy seems to be a real deal even at sthis young age. I think he's going to hv a long and future ahead.

forget what just happened- i agree with you- he hasa got swag

 

[Abdullah]

Amir to finish with 5

 

[GreenTigers]

Bravo put up a good fight, but I guess he plays too slow, knowing people around him not going to stay with him and make runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bravo would be averaging 50 for any other top team.

 

[GreenTigers]

Bravo still out there guys

Who cares, as many have said, gate is opened from the other end.

 

[shaaik]

Amir to finish with 5

I wish it's Yasir who finishes with a 5fer.. Aamir has done more than enough to retain his place.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Arey yaar, you should all have been relaxing all day. Windies never had any real chance of winning.

Im a Pak cricket fan and an Arsenal fan. Relaxing was beaten out of me long ago

 

[Markhor]

Now Jason Holder is capable of a rearguard, I think it was the Antigua Test last year v England where he scored a century to see WI to safety.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It will sound ironic coming from me.. But we should enjoy the competition instead of crying all the time.

 

[Markhor]

This Shane Dowrich guy seems to be a real deal even at sthis young age. I think he's going to hv a long and future ahead.

Will prove to be an improvement from Denesh "Talk Nah" Ramdin who was the epitome of mediocrity as a batsman.

 

[Ankit007]

Those reactions from Misbah. Not good for a captain esp when his team is in strong position... Players can lose morale

 

[Big Mac]

That was a great cover drive from Bravo, Yasir should hope he keeps playing that because it's extremely risky with the ball turning out of the rough. Huge chance of being bowled past the inside edge.

Im a Pak cricket fan and an Arsenal fan. Relaxing was beaten out of me long ago

In that case, this is for you:

 

[street cricketer]

Think the MoM award should be shared.

 

[Markhor]

What lousy technology ! How can we accurately assess nicks without Hotspot or Snicko ?

 

[Zahid87]

Should finish this off soon. With all due respect, and to take nothing away from Pakistan, a better team than the West Indies would have had a chance of saving the game. Pitch is poor.

 

[Markhor]

I want Darren Bravo to reach his hundred but for Pakistan to win. Think he deserves it, played brilliantly in this Test.

 

[Rayyman]

Now Jason Holder is capable of a rearguard, I think it was the Antigua Test last year v England where he scored a century to see WI to safety.

If he gets out, there will be no way Windies can win.

 

[Muhammad10]

Bravo struggles against everyone at home and does well against everyone away from home

The anti-Hafeez.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think it will go down to last 20 runs

 

[shaaik]

Though it's too early to make any assumptions but whatever little I hv seen so far of him looks head and shoulders above Ramdin and perhaps the best wicket keeper batsman West indies hv produced in last 2 decades. I really think he wd serve West indies for many years to come should he put in the hard yards.

 

[hadi123]

guys why are some of you thinking this is in the bag. A draw will still feel like a loss, and we have less than half a day to bowl them out, they may go into t20 mode and a few big overs and WI will be looking at a win again I'm very anxious still

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good stuff by bravo

 

[Rayyman]

Bowl Yasir and Nawaz until the new ball. Wahab looks tired.

 

[Adil_94]

west indies will make 290-310.

 

[NauV]

Must not relax!! Holder has played a couple of amazing innings in his career . . The most recent one against India

 

[Adil_94]

giving away too many runs keep it tight boys.

 

[Adil_94]

holder isnt a bunny he can hurt us if we bowl filth like this.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Heck of a game so far.

bravo Bravo! what an innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The only negative for Pakistan in addition to the customary batting collapse is Yasir shahs lack of penetration

 

[Ankit007]

That was four for me.... Bad decision...

 

[GreenTigers]

Bravo realizes that he's running short of partners. Therefore, trying to play more purposely and getting boundary in every over.

These 4's need to be stopped and we should make Holder play more.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Although am still hoping for a tense finish. Fingers crossed.

 

[Ankit007]

I think it will go down to last 20 runs

Would be really exciting....

 

[street cricketer]

West Indies going for the chase is good for Pakistan.

Windies have a more chance of saving the game by dead batting than winning it.

 

[itsme]

Give single to bravo and let yasir clean up the rest.

 

[GreenTigers]

Wahab needs rest now you Doofus Misbah, has bowled 5 overs in this spell already.

No wonder batting captains don't know how to manage fast bowlers workload.

 

[Sachin136]

West Indies going for the chase is good for Pakistan.

Windies have a more chance of saving the game by dead batting than winning it.

There are about 45 overs left. WI have a better chance of getting 133 runs than batting that many overs out with Holder and the tail.

 

[GreenTigers]

RR is up to 4, need to stop those dam boundaries and keep Bravo away from the strike.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Exciting stuff this... shame there arent many people in the ground.

 

[Ankit007]

West Indies going for the chase is good for Pakistan.

Windies have a more chance of saving the game by dead batting than winning it.

i would say they have more chances of winning than playing with dead bat. 130 needed with 4 wickets left... Can be done. tough job but a possibility. But last four batsman batting for 45 overs is impossible.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

We'll win but this is gonna go down to the wire. Exciting game

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Should take the new ball in the 83rd over

 

[Slog]

Holder seems to be going for it

 

[Ankit007]

Why are men standing on boundaries with tail left?
