What's new

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

PAK would be happy to take the light now. Need to regroup and break their momentum tomorrow. 46 runs left now.
 
If this match goes into the next day, itll only be a matter of time before Amir has one of them walking back. We should just lookvto be defensive today in these last few overs.
 
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.

Exactly got in to that trap. For a target like 150, all 11 are batsman. Enen if Bishu, Gabriel & Joshep maintains their average, 150 is chased. Tactics should be to make every run twice hard.

PAK needs to close the day. 45 in next morning, you never know.

10 overs 46 to get.

WI should try to chase them today itself.

This whole next day business will go against their interest I feel.
 
I didn't understand the tactics - Nawaz was never given the ball as Zulfi was "Specialist", now one needs to squeeze runs, Nawaz is given ball to feed at 5 per over.
 
Difficult to sympathize with Amir today after the run out.
 
Too many easy runs are given by Pakistan here. Make WI earn rather than giving this way. It's good that match will start tomorrow otherwise it would have been over for Pakistan in another 10 overs. Pakistan may start better on a new day.
 
You do realize two catches have been dropped off of his bowling already in this innings?

Whats that got to do with him getting edges against right handers?
He is good against left handers, but he needs to have a consistant straighter delivery to attack the right handers outside edge.
His average is up to 32, i expect it to get to the mid 30's after the NZ tour
 
We are the new chokers of Test cricket.

WI can lose 2 quick wickets in morning and then it will be very hard for them to win it. They don't know how to close the game.
 
Ok. 39 to win off last day with 5 wickets remaining.

First 5 overs are crucial tomorrow morning. Fitting end to an entertaining series barring 2nd test.
 
What's the 2nd one? Third Test in England? I don't consider it a choke plus we've played 3 tests in between that game now

Third Test. We choked in the last session and we have collapsed far too often in this series. We are losing our mental strength. Looks like the days of Pakistani batsmen panicking and losing their heads are back.
 
The game is still in the balance. One wicket early and we will see with collapse in a heap
 
Pakistan are 8-0 up in this tour yet Mamoon Saab thinks we are chokers.

Nothing but attention seeking syndrome he suffers from.

Anyway good fight back but Pak batting let them down. You can't always get bowlers to defend such a low score on this wicket.
 
Marlon Samuels is such a troll. Drop Leon, Samuels and maybe even Blackwood, and move Holder up the order, and this would be a much more competitive WI test team.

He played such a poor shot when he simply needed to bat normally. Samuel has played so many tests and has learned nothing so far. WI has gifted few wickets because some of those balls were nothing ball.
 
This was always a WI game to lose when they get passed 300 in the first innings. Pak team went in complete panic seeing the lead.
