Pakistan bowling coach, Azhar Mahmood, speaking at end of the 3rd Days play:
"I think our bowlers bowled really well - the pitch was slow and the plan was to bowl and not give too many runs to the opposition"
"As a bowling coach, I really don't mind who gets the wickets; the main thing is to get West Indies out"
"Yasir Shah, as we know on a spinning wicket, is a handful and all the seamers also bowled well"
"On a spinning wicket, you have to attack with Yasir Shah and the other bowlers have to join in an contain the batsmen which was our plan"
"The pitch is very slow and not many runs were scored today; we had the same discussions (about scoring rates) with our batsmen too"
"I would like our bowlers to get 5 wickets in 5 balls but that doesn't happen in cricket!"
"We have to work hard to get the last five wickets as we know that the WI tail can bat and have high batting averages"
"West Indies number 8 to 11 can bat very well so we have to work hard to get the remaining wickets"
"Its very tough to get runs on this wicket so we have to get WI out cheaply first and then set the game up to win this Test match"
"This is what professional cricket is all about; you have to run in with the same (energy) every time you come back for a new spell; we will be working on rehab tonight with ice baths etc to get them ready for tomorrow"
