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

Yasir Shah at no 8 is too high. Needs to deliver with the ball otherwise on his current form he will have to sit out in the next match
 
Poor collapse by Pakistan this morning. Didn't expect such poor performance.
 
Our selectors really need to select batsmen with good FC averages, otherwise its curtains for our Test team. How can you leave out the likes of Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel and Usman Salahuddin? Shocking. Faheem Ashraf should be playing as a third seamer, as a bowling all-rounder, not as a batting all-rounder. We are one proper batsman short. If you want to play a proper batting all-rounder, it should be Kamran Ghulam.
 
Above 170+ target is winning score on this pitch so pakistan just need to add 25-30 runs more
 
Nauman Ali should play next match if Yasir does not take any useful contribution with bowl. Nauman Ali has shown decent technique when batting.
 
It would have been good to have a three match series this. Unfortunately money for WICB and World T20 came into play
 
Hasan Ali has right mindset by going for it. Yasir went nowhere with his hop defensive technique.
 
Not sure about these hanging bats outside off stump by Yasir and now Shaheen. Better off seeing the ball and hitting it here.
 
Can’t remember how many decisions have been overturned in this match
 
How difficult was it for shaheen to play straight to a straight delivery???

Criminal
 
Can Abbas survive the over is the question. As surely Hassan is gonna throw kitchen sink on every ball in next over which would be interesting
 
Pathetic collapse this morning. Nothing to lose, slogging mode for Hassan now.
 
Apart from Babar, Rizwan, Fawad and Faheem none of them are capable of holding bat or being dependent for even 20odd runs. This is a very poor top order that Pakistan has.
 
What the hell is going on, don't tell me we're gonna lose to these jokers? :facepalm:
 
Abbas isnt no. 11 with shaheen and yasir in the side. He should bat higher because he's got the heart to stay the crease
 
This Test started on a very boring note and fans were complaining about it , but has turned into an interesting contest as sessions passed.

Pak whitewashed SA at home and SA came here and whitewashed WI by huge margins. Here Pak is struggling in WI.
 
Babar should learn from Hasan a bit

Attack. You can't block everything when you are batting with tail
 
That was over head high but, I think umpires are generally lenient in tests.

If we don’t win this or come close to it we don’t deserve to be playing Test cricket. It’s small steps like these which makes you a stronger team.
 
Need more players in Pak team with Hassan’s take on the world attitude
 
If we bowl and field well I expect to bowl windows out for below 150

I guess not deserve to be playing test cricket is bit too much as its WI in their home ground. Yes Pak should be doing better but, unpredictabilities of the sport is what makes it worth viewing.

Yes as a Pak fan I would like consistency.
 
Once again losing last 5 wickets for less than 50 runs... Windies to chase this comfortably..
 
for FF S! another mickey mouse we've turned into a world beater.
 
Pakistan will win it .its too much runs on difficult pitch against a low quality batsman side .but pakistan need to put Westindies 30/3
 
Hassan Ali the fourth highest scorer in Pak’s innings.
 
Next test match, Drop Imran Butt, Azhar Ali to open with Abid Ali and bring in Saud Shakeel to provide much needed middle order stability and left arm spin.

Saud Shakil is the next Fawad Alam of the Pakistan cricket. They would not bring him in.
 
West Indies have been set a target of 168 to win the 1st Test against Pakistan after the visitors were bowled out 203 - Hassan Ali the last man out for 28(26) - Jayden Seales taking 5/55
 
Hasan should always bat no 8..
Yasir, Afridi and Abbas are all no 11s.
I know Yasir has a 100 but everytime I've seen him he has batted like a tailender.

Ideally, I'd like to see Nauman at no 8 to follow up with Hasan at no 9 but not sure the management yet has as much faith in Nauman's bowling as Yasir's.
 
Babar’s captaincy and Rizwan’s vice captaincy will be tested today along with Pak’s pace bowling.
 
If Pakistan goes on to lose here, no reason to be extremely unhappy.

WI, albeit comparatively weaker, are a good team at home. Both teams had to fight hard to come to this stage. The next 5 hours will decide who was the better team.
 
Can someone figure out how many times Pakistan has given a debutant a five fer over the last 6 years

Just by the top of my head I can list De Grandhome, Seales, Ajaz Patel and Will Sommerwhile. Is their any else I forgot
 
Pakistan has a decent chance, but another 30-40 runs would have helped a lot.

There's a thread showing all these mediocre players Pakistan has turned into world beaters, needs to be bumped.
 
If we lose this test the morale of the team would be at lowest. This is a very poor test team of WI to lose a test match to.

That is something a fellow subcontinental nation in Bangladesh have in common. Leave alone a five-for which is common. We let a debutant score a double century on the 4th innings of a test game. Sure you guys know the name -Kyle Myers who got a duck in the first innings
 
Kraigg Braithwaite is a Master in grinding and scoring runs like an ant. His wicket is a must as he usually holds one end.

We made Saqib look like a world class who can't even make into Eng team against India.
