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

[Justcrazy]

Faheem to continue after drinks, I think Pakistan should use a few overs from Azhar Ali.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI have way through the chase here

 

[Titan24]

Good one from Faheem

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Faheem strikes

 

[Rafa]

Finally a wicket. Could be too late.

 

[Titan24]

Couple of more quick wickets here needed

 

[Buffet]

We havent got the bowlers who can turn the match on its head. Easy 5-6 wicket win for the windies this

1 wicket goes. Bowlers just need to keep it tight and let WI take risks.

 

[Devadwal]

84/3 so half target achieve but still Match is not far from Pakistan reach. Couple wickets can change entire match.

Now one wickets gone so pakistan has advantage now

 

[Justcrazy]

Match in balance now, WI need another partnership here

 

[castortroy]

Pak about to sink to a new low losing to Windies

 

[Justcrazy]

Blackwood living dangerously , he is playing too many shots instead of batting with patience, which is required at this stage

 

[IMMY69]

Yasir is bowling absolute dross

 

[castortroy]

Seriously what is the point of Yasir Shah

 

[Titan24]

Match in balance now, WI need another partnership here

I think WI still in front, Pak needs atleast one more wicket to make it someone balanced.

 

[Rafa]

Hate Blackwood now.

 

[Mainul]

Yasir is toothless now as a bowler. Leaks runs, release pressure

 

[IMMY69]

Get Yasir Shah off and bring on Abbas

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Blackwood is clutch in these circumstances. If only our batters had shown some intent while batting. Their fast bowlers have exploited the conditions much better than ours as well.
Blockathons don't work while setting up targets, our management simply doesn't understand that.

 

[Titan24]

Pak about to sink to a new low losing to Windies

WI won against Eng 2-1 just in 2019. WI can be tricky at home

 

[Mainul]

If Blackwood wicket falls right now match will be interesting

 

[Solid Snake]

How Yasir is allowed to ever play for Pakistan outside of the UAE is a mystery...

Really painful to watch

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Yasir giving away 8 runs in 1 over when thers only 84 required. Criminal

 

[IMMY69]

5 down
5 to go

 

[Rafa]

Wow Faheem

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Blackwood living dangerously , he is playing too many shots instead of batting with patience, which is required at this stage

And he is winning them the game. Blocking is only going to put pressure on themselves something our batters did.

 

[Titan24]

Faheem with another one. Imran Butt is such a good slip fielder

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Faheem strikes again here

 

[CadPakFan]

2 down in quicktime, is Pakistan back in the game?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Captaan needs to bring on shaheen now and attack. Bring him on from the other end. Only have 76 runs lets to defend.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Faheem has been excellent with both bat and ball. Very impressive.

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan with a great chance here. Any bowler needs to avoid giving free runs.

 

[Mainul]

Blackwood is the key here. As long as he is there Pakistan should be nervous

 

[Saj]

1 wicket brings 2.

Well, well, well - Pakistan could still win this match.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Need to do something special to get Holder and Blackwood out.

 

[Buffet]

2 wickets and the situation may look a lot different, but Pakistan missed scoring 30-40 extra runs. That may have made difference.

The situation looks a lot different now.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Important passage here. Holder can be a real pain in the neck. Cant let him settle . Need to attack attack now

 

[NauV]

Idk why Yasir is bowling . nothing in the pitch for him . . and we all know Yasir can not do a holding job! he doesn't have the control to do that . . 70+ runs left . . should be fast bowlers only from now onwards . . max 25 overs left in the game . .

 

[Mainul]

Very good move. Abbas is back. He can take wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Abbas into attack now , Pakistan can sense a win here

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

De silva pretty good with the bat aswell alongsides roach who is handy. Rana needs support frm the other end. If shaheen can come on for a quick fire spell and nip a few quick wkts.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Real batsman at the crease n

 

[Titan24]

Experience of Abbas, Hassan and Yasir needs to produce some wickets. It has all been Shaheen and Faheem

 

[PakLFC]

Terrible batting again lets us down. Even if we win it can't be ignored how awful lour batting is. It is heartbreaking seeing us struggle to reach 200. A better team would absolutely skoosh us.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Looks like Abbas is now doing what Holder & Roach were doing which is going very wide on the crease.

 

[castortroy]

Holder definitely one of the best all rounders going

 

[Titan24]

Terrible batting again lets us down. Even if we win it can't be ignored how awful lour batting is. It is heartbreaking seeing us struggle to reach 200. A better team would absolutely skoosh us.

I think we have too many one dimensional batsmen. Babar, Rizwan and Faheem are the only ones you expect to take the attack to the opposition. Rest just keep only playing with same mindset which is to think defense first.

 

[Firebat]

Imran with 2 slip catches, which should buy him 2 more matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

Every run is critical for both sides here , match getting more interesting here

 

[IMMY69]

I think we have too many one dimensional batsmen. Babar, Rizwan and Faheem are the only ones you expect to take the attack to the opposition. Rest just keep only playing with same mindset which is to think defense first.

I think it's time to bring back Imam Ul Haq

 

[Titan24]

Imran with 2 slip catches, which should buy him 2 more matches.

That rhymes.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shud of got shaheen on. Need both these gone before there is 50 runs left

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Or can Hasan Ali come back and produce one of his match winning spells?

 

[Titan24]

I think it's time to bring back Imam Ul Haq

I agree that he can be an option, he might have some technical issues like current openers but he has shown in ODI cricket that he has the temperament for this level. They was he was sidelined from the test team suddenly was shambolic. Upcoming QAE season would be really important

 

[Titan24]

Ordinary from Abbas

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If blackwood takes windies over the line here wud be real heartbreak especially when he should have been out.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Ordinary from Abbas

Situation required a shaheen special.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dare i say that imam and shehzad could be better options at the top , both are good fielders as well.

 

[Titan24]

Situation required a shaheen special.

Yes should be brought in.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

No 1 has supported Rana so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Three boundaries off that over , WI need another 61 runs

 

[IMMY69]

I think it's time for Hasan Ali

 

[Titan24]

12 runs in that over (last one was lucky). Really costly stuff considering the situation of the match

 

[CadPakFan]

Unlucky that could've easily gone to slip, Abbas deserved a wicket there.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Our team is pathetic. Maybe another 10 years of suffering til we get the joys of a successful team again.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Windies know the best way to approach this is to go for it . Abbas is wat they needed 12 of. Rubbish!!!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We deserve to lose this match

 

[Darkrai]

Deserve to lose for playing Imran Butt and Abid Ali yet again.

 

[Buffet]

1 wickets here , bring Shaheen

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Only if our captaan attacked at the appropriate time. Now is the time to attack. Bring on Shaheen frm the other end

 

[Buffet]

Avoid those 10-12 runs overs. 3-4 overs like that and the match will be over.

 

[shah_1]

Only two slips


Pathetic

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Easy pickings for windies. All pressure frm the 2 wkts released with that rubbish over frm bunny abbas

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Abbas stays on to give away more free runs

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Holder and blackwood need to be out in the next 4 overs otherwise match is over

 

[Extra_Cover]

Ground fielding in this game from Pakistan has been abysmal.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Normally there is no hope for this hopeless bunch but with Shaheen we have the best Pakistani fast bowler since Wasim Akram.

Only he can deliver Pakistan the win to save Misbah's job (for another day).

Misbah is there till the T20 WC anyway. After that he'll have to appear before the Cricket Committee again. Just like Mickey had to once upon a time #karma.

 

[NauV]

Abbas is such an enigma . . he is absolutely incredible with the new ball when the ball is doing a bit . . but as soon as the ball gets old, he becomes easy pickings especially as batters start batting from quarter of the way down the pitch . .

I really like Abbas . . but can you really afford to have a bowler who is mostly only useful in the first 20 30 overs?

 

[IMMY69]

6 down
4 to go

 

[Titan24]

What a brilliant catch from Butt. If only he can bat half as good as his slip catching

 

[Extra_Cover]

Too many passengers with absolutely zero contribution in a playing 11. The passengers in this match were:
- Abid Ali
- Imran Butt
- Yasir Shah
- Azhar Ali

The rest have contributed atleast something. The reason for pointing them out is because this bunch has been the underperforming bunch for quite sometime.
