What's new

Pakistan v West Indies | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Oct 30-Nov 3, 2016 | Day 4

what a turnaround 50-50 now

kraigwithe still there!
 
Really impressed by Braitwhitte, Bravo, Holder and Gabriel this tour
 
60/40 in WI favour still.

If we get Braithwaite then it will tilt in Pak's favour.
 
Funny how all the Indians are coming out and trying to jinx Pakistan now.

You do realize they only need another 80 runs? A small partnership could change the game entirely. Still pretty much tilted in the favour of WI unless we get Brathwaite quickly

That's a difficult ask for this Windies lineup. They are a garbage test side. With a bit of turn/reverse, they'll fold quite easily and yasir/Wahab can skittle them out quickly.
 
Do you seriously believe in these things? PAK are favs now, they need only 5 wickets. At max WI will get 120.

I don't believe in this stuff but I find it funny that people are trying.

Realistically speaking the game isn't in Pakistan's favour. 80 runs aren't really that much and they have all the time in the world to get them Bobo and Dowrich can easily take the Windies home and they still have Holding to come.

If anything I'd say it's 70-30 in favour of the Windies.

but it doesn't take much effort to get 80 runs. One batsman playing a half decent innings could easily win it for them.
 
So many twists and turns.

Honestly with 70 more to go and just 5 wickets, Pak on top.

Psychological aspect of chasing playing up.

And great striking up Yasir and Wahab.
 
West Indies has never lost a test match where they've had to chase less than 200.
 
Seems to me we are 50-60 short, incidentally the exact lead that we conceded on first innings. WI are 70-30 favourites as long as Braithwaite is in. Dowrich and Holder are more than capable of scrambling 40 runs between them. It's been an abysmal performance from our batsmen. Would be our most humiliating defeat since we lost to Zimbabwe in 2013.
 
Wrong tactics - PAK is giving easy singles in a hope that Dorwich will get out. It might back fire as the target is just 75 now.
 
Ok so can someone tell me how did WI bat and Pak bowl?

Suicidal batting or great bowling or even stevens?
 
Need another wicket now and quick! They should be 7 down before target goes down to 50!
 
Misbah should be attacking with both spinners Yasir and Zulfi baba together.
 
Run flow has been blocked.

In such situations, when you do that, pressure gets to batsmen.

WI have to get a move on if they want to win.

Runs is what will put pressure on fielding team and make things easier. But its a catch 22 situation really. If you try to up the rate and get out, you are dead.

Anyways, better to focus on positive batting by leaving out the bad balls.
 
Pakistan need Yasir to get another wicket in his next over. He's the one who's going to win this for them.
 
Brathwaite is playing the test match of his life :120:

Loving that.....would love to see him finishing this in style
 
DO NOT ask or post any illegal streaming links in this thread.
 
Desi fans throw in the towel way too easily.

WI are hardly out of danger.

4th innings chase is peculiar. There is no reason WI should have been 103/5 in this pitch but it was. That's what 4th innngs does to you.

50 runs with 5 wickets will be close.

Next 6 overs will be crucial.
