West Indies beat Pakistan by 1 wicket in the 1st Test match at Kingston

We threw that game away

Bad batting, Crucial drop catches snd pathetic defensive captaincy
 
GET IN !

Slap on the face of some Pakistani fans on here, calling West Indies jokers and other disrespectful terms.

They are a poor Test team, but at home they'll give anyone a fight.

That's what you get for arrogance.
 
For the nth time, Pakistan end up winning hearts rather than the match. Shambolic display and timid approach.

Clueless captaincy toward the end, Roach was dictating like a boss.
 
Poor field set up with only one wicket left.

Anyway, well played WI and well played Pakistani bowlers. Pakistani batsmen were poor here.
 
How did we lose to this pub team? jeez!

Shameful and pathetic performance.

Not gonna happen. As a nation, we've grown accustomed to losing and being second best. Losing doesn't hurt us anymore... The Misbah mentality has always been that as long as we're competing and fighting, all is good.
 
Congratulations westindies . both team play poor quality cricket but eventually WI win it.

When you order Mamoon from Wish!

lol, what a pathetic comment. I won't be surprised if after Pak, WI is the 2nd favorite team in here.

Sorry but not sorry.
 
Geez drop catches, edges, play and misses.
Reminds me of that antigua curse in 2000
 
Misbah will now take the credit for providing the entertainment and hence, with a request to have is contract extended.
 
We will never advance while Misbah & Waqar are coaches, and we have a coaching mentality stuck in the 2000’s
 
Heartbreaking loss.

Several key moments when Pakistan were second best.
 
Roach told Seales to protect his wicket as the biggest threat is the straight balls... And we didn't even bowl straight balls to him! Lol

you do know pak are on par with Zimbabwe/Bang

poor side
 
Pak had this game in bag after WI lost 7 wkts. I would say not fielding but the fielding placement lost Pak this game.
 
Nothing shameful in this loss.

West indies has never lost a chase that is below 200 in test. Say what you want, but at home west indies is a strong team.

Pakistan's batting was a joke. Yes we saw some drop catches but than there were some blinders aswell

Every defeat that inches the two parasites Misbah and Waqar closer to the exit is cause for celebration.

And it's sweeter given the laughable arrogance of our fans thinking we'd roll WI over.

Sorry not sorry.
 
Bad luck Pakistan. But that drop catch by Hasan Ali costed Pakistan the match.

Roach played a brilliant knock and deserves all the credit.

Its true and 'learning'. But man, this a new low, looks like half the no name Windies team was pulled from the nearby beach and asked to go play test cricket, what an embarrassment.

how so? did any catch went to those said positions?

the second last wicket that fell should that field placement were right as West indies do have shot hitting ability
 
The guy who scores the winning runs was dropped twice...and not seen it...but apparently a drop by Hasan Ali was a sitter.

Pakistan panicked in the closing stages and lost.
 
Misbah wouldn't find anything shameful and humiliating in this loss. We competed and that's his standard. He always batted that way too where his aim was to just keep us in the game with a sub par 230 odd scores.

The guy is the definition of mediocrity. So, this bunch would be quite happy with this game. It's the fans who suffer as they still have lofty expectations from their team
 
Markhor said:
Yours too. Losing to a "bunch of jokers" and a "pub team" makes us what then ?

Which ever way ones spins this the facts is that this Windows team is extremely poor and they shouldn't have scored 140 on this track let alone 160 odd.

I did not understand why Shaheen and Hasan did not attack Seales stumps. Poor strategy.
 
Games like these shows the mental strength between teams. West Indies are just mentally stronger than Pakistan as you can see with the dropped catches.

Just listen to Babar. He's talking about the "beauty of test cricket" :facepalm:

Who the F cares for that?? Just goes on to show their mindset. Mediocrity is drilled in their DNA. This wouldn't hurt them

Almost similar WI team won against Eng in 2019 2-1. They can be a tricky side at home and are a test team not an associate.

Yes Pak should have done better but, like any other sport cricket is not played on paper and thats why people watch them.

They've probably cemented their stay a bit longer cos the 'boys played well', 'its a young team and they're learning in tough tour' etc.

Lost count of how many times Babar has repeated the phrase "we'll learn from mistakes and try not to repeat them in the next game".
 
Great match. Pakistan got unlucky but most importantly they kept their unpredictable tag. I expect the real Pakistan to turn up in the next match and smash the WI.
 
Congratulations WI. Feeling sad for the Pakistanis. Bowlers did a tremendous job but at last the WI batsmen were mentally tough.
 
Abbas needs to be dropped. Whoever selected Abbas needs to be fired. Disturbed the bowling line up and team combination

No, it's not sweeter because if you are a fan, you're hurting too.

Can't fault the fans for calling it like it is. This is a poor WI team and there are no two ways about it. Yes we're also VERY poor but we should still be expected to beat this largely unknown WI team.

Sorry I don't buy this crap, I'm not interested in what other teams did or did not do. Fact is we should be pumping this outfit despite our own shortcomings.

Your statement only belies the fact that some of our support have accepted mediocrity.
 
after this loss, we will either lose it all 2-0 or it will be 1-0
but its hard to see Misbah lifting team after he got assurances from PCB that his job is secured for another few years
 
Outstanding performance by the WI and the tail really held their nerve at the end, love how Roach marshalled the troops as the lead commando at the end there, hope he gets the MOM award.

Pakistan made for a terrific game but they lost to a better team and quiet simply their fielding standard doesn’t deserve to be compared with top flight club level cricket in England, it is a shambles but so entertaining :yk3
 
Ghatiya standard of cricket from both teams Pak windies Ireland Holland should all play each other.

Leave the high standard to NZ eng Ind

Its not about acceptance of mediocrity rather aligning your expectations with the quality (ranking) of your team and also not looking at every team below you in rankings as pushovers as at the end you have to go out their and win it.

Yes Pak team can perform better than this and I would like it to do better so I think things needs to be sorted however, it doesnt have the quality to be world beater at the moment. So its about the acceptance of reality rather than mediocrity.
 
No matter how bad West Indies cricket is they will always own Pakistan in key matches. And there goes any remote hopes of Pakistan being involved as a contender for the WTC. More like being a contender to come 7th.
 
Congratz to the windies on this win. Kemar roach showed our tailenders how to bat in this type of situation.

More importantly catches win matches, and that dropped catch proved to be costly.

Pakistan and dropped catches its same old story again

I dont think it was arrogance to think Pakistan were favourites here. An 8th ranked SLtoured earlier this year and drew the series and 6th ranked South Adrica destroyed the Windies right after that. So 5th ranked Pakistan were expected to win and quite considerably too
 
Good game, at least both teams gave 100%.
No embarresment in this defeat.

Yasir? no comment....how many more games is going to cost.

Are you serious? WI is worst test team out there. it was Pak's game to win. Yaser Shah was poor and despite his decent performance i don't think Faheem is test match material.

Largely unknown to people unaware of any cricket outside Pakistan or Big 3 maybe yes.

WI are a poor Test team but our fans were making them out as ZIM/BD level. I always said with their pacers on seam friendly pitches with the Dukes they had a chance. Roach has 200+ Test wickets when none of our shooperstar phaast bowlers have done since Waqar Younis.

A team that steadfastly refuses to learn from mistakes, loses to B/C teams, and hasn't even won an away Test series against a non-minnow since 2017 (and that was thanks to a braindead tailender) has no right to be so arrogant.
 
Gutted by the lose, its slowly sinking in.

I feel very bad for Hasan, Shaheen, Faheem, Babar and Rizwan as these 5 players have to carry the underperformers every test match. It epitomises our tax system where the entire country feeds off 10% taxpayers. Here the rest of team and our management are feeding off these 5-6 players. Its a shameful situation really. The remaining team should have some self-respect and start contributing for a change.

Not talking about catches, that’s one aspect of cricket.

When WI had only 1 wkt to go and 18 or some runs needed to win,
the last pair were taking singles comfortably.
Having let them work harder for those singles would have created extra pressure.

Can we really not take 20 wickets in a Test match?

Very good point. We seldom take 20 wickets overseas in test matches when needed. I was not confident even when the Windies were 7 down at tea. This bowling attack lacks the killer instinct to close out tight games.
