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

[ExpressPacer]

MOM to Bravo regardless of the result. Terrific innings in the first innings and one of the bests I've ever seen in the second.

 

[Haroon786]

.

Ashwin would never pull off the catch that Yasir just took.

 

[Abdullah]

Should have bowled a lot more from over ten wicket

 

[EliteCynical]

Should be a cake walk now. Also good WI did not go under 20 or something and lose like India did in Chennai. So this should be all over soon. Pak got a scare. WI showed fighting spirit, test cricket is alive. Everyone is happy (except Viv i suppose, who would shed a tear in a corner).

 

[srh]

its like you have roza for whole day and break it just before maghrib

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yasir Shah you beauty!!! What a catch!

 

[Mamoon]

Ashwin would never pull off the catch that Yasir just took.

Probably, but he will score a lot more runs as well. Ashwin >>> Yasir as a cricketer, although Yasir is a top fielder.

 

[waleed88]

Messiiiiiii!!!!!!! I love youuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Haroon786]

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

Nah continue the hate, it's entertaining to read.

 

[Red Devil]

Cheetah!

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

If we win this, free samosas on me, all you can eat, go nuts !!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Yasir pulled off a stunner.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is why I always said Pak are front runnners.

Something always happens.

Great catch.

 

[troodon]

All over for WI.

 

[Markhor]

One more twist !

Yasir you are the man. Now just relentlessly target the tail.

 

[shaaik]

Well tried little bravo.. They really were going for the target but the rough caused his undoing. Now, we hv to make we don't let them off the hook.

 

[Hamza_]

Need to get Aamir on and wrap up tail

 

[uberkoen]

If we win this, free samosas on me, all you can eat, go nuts !!

Time and location?

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan should play 10 batsmen + Yasir. Other bowlers are here to make numbers anyway, because whether we win or lose a Test depends on Yasir's performance.

 

[Haroon786]

Probably, but he will score a lot more runs as well. Ashwin >>> Yasir as a cricketer, although Yasir is a top fielder.

Don't care - right now in that situation only Yasir could do that.

Yasir is better in bowling and fielding.

 

[Ab Fan]

Big moment for Pak.. Still 25 overs left I think.

 

[Abdullah]

Feel really bad for Bravo, take a bow mate!

Don't feel bad for him but that would have been an ATG innings

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Said it before. Yasir is too clutch in Tests for us to lose this

 

[Crafty_Indian]

I still feel that it will be wahab who will do the trick. He is so cut out for these conditions. And is also creating a few chances.

 

[Hasan123]

That's the only we was gonna get bravo with a catch like that

 

[Haroon786]

Welcome to the club you too thala.

Bro this is enough you're having your posts deleted for a reason.

Take your posts to the Random Talk Thread.

 

[EliteCynical]

Big moment for Pak.. Still 25 overs left I think.

No way can they hold on for 25 overs. This is all over in 5

 

[Aviator]

One perfect yorker to bishoo....

 

[GreenTigers]

History doesn't like lie when it comes to a run chase in 4th innings - 5th day. There is a reason for that.

WI can only play for draw now. It's PAK's game to lose from here.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

One of the greatest innings by a West Indian batsman after Lara retired.

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan is such a good bowling team,congrats to Yasir.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

What about Bisho?

Bishoo got it at the cost of looking for quick runs from pak... Bravo's knock is more special on a fifth day wicket chasing 346 and winning it with solid resistance///

 

[Ab Fan]

Great effort nonetheless from Bravo..

 

[Mamoon]

Bravo just realized how cruel cricket can be. Still Man of the Match for me, but Azhar will get it.

 

[Hasan123]

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.

South Africa have a lot of 30 plus players, don't be so sure that they will be ahead of us.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

This game gives similar vibes to India's Adelaide failed runchase .

 

[EliteCynical]

Ashwin would never pull off the catch that Yasir just took.

Yes. Agreed. Else we would have won the JoBurg test. Thought Ashwin was very unfit back then.

 

[Red Devil]

Respect for Bravo, what a brilliant knock. I hope he scores many tons against India in the future.

 

[Hawkeye]

Should be a cake walk now. Also good WI did not go under 20 or something and lose like India did in Chennai. So this should be all over soon. Pak got a scare. WI showed fighting spirit, test cricket is alive. Everyone is happy (except Viv i suppose, who would shed a tear in a corner).

This is why I always said Pak are front runnners.

Something always happens.

Great catch.

Nothing's final.

WI clear favorites still to draw.

 

[Ab Fan]

No way can they hold on for 25 overs. This is all over in 5

Probably yes..Pak should win it after getting Bravo out.

 

[Mamoon]

West Indies have won hearts in this match.

 

[DRsohail]

This is why I always said Pak are front runnners.

Something always happens.

Great catch.

pakistani are verry impatient people generally,,,we have lost many things in almost every field of life due tov this attitude,,,,

 

[Mamoon]

South Africa have a lot of 30 plus players, don't be so sure that they will be ahead of us.

They have some really good young talent emerging, better than ours.

QdK, Rabada, Rossouw etc.

 

[uberkoen]

West Indies have won hearts in this match.

Everyone loves it when the underdogs try to fight back.

 

[Big Mac]

Nothing's final.

WI clear favorites still to draw.

Nope.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bravo should get MOM.

But he won't which is travesty.

 

[street cricketer]

And that's that...

Well played WI.

Congratulations Pakistan.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan should play 10 batsmen + Yasir. Other bowlers are here to make numbers anyway, because whether we win or lose a Test depends on Yasir's performance.

well amir took three wickets first....

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan should play 10 batsmen + Yasir. Other bowlers are here to make numbers anyway, because whether we win or lose a Test depends on Yasir's performance.

It's not just Yasir. Amir has been very instrumental as well.

 

[majiz]

Pakistan should play 10 batsmen + Yasir. Other bowlers are here to make numbers anyway, because whether we win or lose a Test depends on Yasir's performance.

they same guy you completely wrote off after old trafford?

 

[uberkoen]

They have some really good young talent emerging, better than ours.

QdK, Rabada, Rossouw etc.

Can you look into your crystal ball and tell me about my future as well please.

 

[rollingstoned]

Agreed, Bravo looks like Lara the way he bats. Very good prospect.

 

[fazleefridi]

How

 

[EliteCynical]

Nothing's final.

WI clear favorites still to draw.

you must be kidding. i dont blame you, I would have said the same. As a neutral, this is past WI now.

 

[aukhan]

Poor keeping from sarfraz in this test.

 

[ExpressPacer]

It isn't over till its over. Bishoo could produce a miracle knock here.

 

[Ab Fan]

Its been such a fabulous game with quite a few standout show :

Azhar Ali triple century

Bishoo taking 8-fer and running through Pak team

Darren Bravo well compiled gritty century in process to save the test.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

you must be kidding. i dont blame you, I would have said the same. As a neutral, this is past WI now.

He is trying to jinx.

 

[Hasan123]

They have some really good young talent emerging, better than ours.

QdK, Rabada, Rossouw etc.

Qdk and Rabada top quality no doubt. But Rousow can't even get in the test team. Also they called up a 34 year old cook to solve there opening issues and JP dumminy is still a regular in there test team which tells you about the quality they having coming through in batting

 

[Hamza_]

Get Wahab off

 

[srh]

boy sarfraz is not good wk

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz is an ordinary keeper

 

[Mamoon]

they same guy you completely wrote off after old trafford?

He hasn't performed on a non-flat wicket yet, but who cares anyway. Point is that we are too reliant on him and we haven't one any Test in his presence where he hasn't performed well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Agreed, Bravo looks like Lara the way he bats. Very good prospect.

He has been playing test cricket for 7 years but today's was his career defining knock.

 

[rollingstoned]

Sarfaraz has an impressive keeping compilation just for this innings alone lol.

 

[Khan12]

They have some really good young talent emerging, better than ours.

QdK, Rabada, Rossouw etc.

We got babar azam, sami aslam saud shakeel.

 

[Haroon786]

Would be fitting to see Yasir take his second 5fer after going missing for so long in the match.

 

[uberkoen]

Has Sarfraz held on to anything in this match?

 

[shah_1]

Nothing is really happening from Wahab

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Windies should just throw their bats around. Surely they are not foolish to think that they can still draw!!

 

[Buffet]

Poor keeper, but then it's been the case for long time now for Pakistan.

 

[Mamoon]

We got babar azam, sami aslam saud shakeel.

Pace attack lacks quality. Amir is inferior to Rabada.

 

[uberkoen]

He hasn't performed on a non-flat wicket yet, but who cares anyway. Point is that we are too reliant on him and we haven't one any Test in his presence where he hasn't performed well.

Can you remember the last time we weren't over reliant on a key spinner?

 

[saeed5646]

Bravo should get MOM.

But he won't which is travesty.

inspired by neighbours!!!! but yeah he deserves it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Where are yorkers from hell

 

[JaDed]

Bishoo's performance created a spark in Windies,they come up with such matches once in a while,against England when they drew a series and although they might lose this one now ,no one can deny they played pretty well and competed against a top team.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I feel pakistan will win by 57 runs , a wild guess..not counting on a WI win here, if they win it is an unbelievable achievement

my prediction would come true...waiting for it...come on pak 57 runs..

 

[Rayyman]

Forgetting SA, onto this match. I wanna see Nawaz bowl. Misbah needs to remember that Wahab still could get injured if bowled a long spell.

 

[The_KING]

Yaar Wahab bowl yorkers

 

[Khan12]

Pace attack lacks quality. Amir is inferior to Rabada.

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