[shaz619]

Conditions are decent but you still need to be skillful to exploit them, you can't just show up and expect to take wickets unless you are a destroyer [MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION]

 

[Hamza_]

Wahab Riaz with usual rubbish

 

[TalhaSyed]

What can you tell us about The Abbas?

He's doing the talking for me on the pitch

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Singh of the mark in Test cricket.

 

[Hasan123]

As close as Jinder Mahal is to winning the WWE Championship

Don't rule out Jinder

 

[TalhaSyed]

Pak should get them for 150.

I've to see you coming around to the spirit squad way of thinking

 

[imranraf]

Wahab does not look threatening at all.

 

[shaz619]

Don't rule out Jinder

Which is why me post was very cryptic based on how you interpret it

 

[Syed1]

Amir with HUGE SLAPS on faces of keyboard experts LMAO

#Im lovin' it

 

[shaz619]

Looks like wahab left his brain at home

 

[Ellipsism]

129 km/h from Abbas.

[Arsalan Pro]

M Abbas returns for his second spell.

 

[ExpressPacer]

That looked pacy-ish.

 

[yasir]

When he can maintain this extension, get his front leg across and hips more side-on. He doesn't have the glute or core strength yet. Right now he's just going straight down the line. Isn't getting the same bounce from his base.

That's right, his action is not very balance(fall over more to right) and side arm as it was back in summer of 2010...When he said(after coming back) that he literally has not bowled for 4 years, that was right. But not bowling at all for all those years has cost him. It is going to take another year or so to get back to where he was...It was a mistake on his part for not bowling at all...He reached the level of 2010 (back then) after 2/3 years, lost all that with 4/5 years break, his flexibility, muscle strength and memory is not there yet.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Wahab does not look threatening at all.

A 33 year old fast bowler playing every match on tour?

He needs to be rested for the test series.

 

[Ellipsism]

That looked pacy-ish.

It's the extravagant bounce.

Looks like we have another Imran Khan in terms of pace.

 

[wasimjunior]

What is weather like

 

[Ellipsism]

What is weather like

Overcast.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Wahab Riaz leaking runs.

 

[Ellipsism]

Wahab Riaz leaking runs.

He's going to do that on a green pitch, which isn't conducive to his style of bowling.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Didn't see Amir's wickets, how were they?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Powell playing loose drives.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Didn't see Amir's wickets, how were they?

As if we had gone back in time to 2010

 

[shaz619]

Didn't see Amir's wickets, how were they?

First one, he set up the batsman with outswingers before bowling him with a straight delivery. Second wicket was a beautiful unplayable inswinger

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Didn't see Amir's wickets, how were they?

Just brilliant.

 

[arehaan]

Wahab should never be played on a green pitch as he is a complete waste. Unfortunately we didn't have any other choice for this game with Hassan injured

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pakistan's session so far.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Love listening to Dujon and Bishop. They understand the game so well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan bowling lineup looks weak , yasir shah has lost his venom and wahab riaz is mostly miss.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

First one, he set up the batsman with outswingers before bowling him with a straight delivery. Second wicket was a beautiful unplayable inswinger

Just saw them. Both were brilliant.

 

[Rayyman]

These conditions should be slapping humble pies on the faces of those who said that the West Indies has the same conditions that are in Asia.

 

[Ellipsism]

Wahab strikes

 

[shah_1]

Lucky wicket for Wahab

 

[ExplicitAI]

WI crumbling here, I like it

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

West Indies is in deep deep trouble

 

[ExplicitAI]

As if we had gone back in time to 2010

First one, he set up the batsman with outswingers before bowling him with a straight delivery. Second wicket was a beautiful unplayable inswinger

Yeah basically explains that he never fell off. Was always the same bowler.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lucky wicket for Wahab

It was a trap field and he fell for it.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[shaz619]

It was a trap field and he fell for it.

I think you're a big fan of Wahab isn't it?

 

[Ellipsism]

Yeah basically explains that he never fell off. Was always the same bowler.

Errr, no.

Refer to to Chief's post above.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like misbah said to sarfraz 'you were right about that field position:

 

[shaz619]

Terrific catch by Azhar

 

[ExpressPacer]

Misbah rocking it out. Literally....

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I think you're a big fan of Wahab isn't it?

Just pointing out the obvious. I don't mind people criticizing him, doesn't really affect me.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol i know that it doesn't .

 

[Big Mac]

Didn't see Amir's wickets, how were they?

Top quality bowling.

He kept plugging away and moving the ball away from off stump, allowing the batsmen to feel the safe and leave the ball while PP started moaning about crappy bowling because none of them ever pay attention to test cricket.

Then, when the batsmen started to get a bit complacent he brought the ball back in and knocked over the off stump.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

We need to start using the Dukes ball again. Kookaburra is garbage and useless in the UAE.

 

[Markhor]

These conditions should be slapping humble pies on the faces of those who said that the West Indies has the same conditions that are in Asia.

This is one of the exceptions, being a newly relaid pitch. If you look at the bowling charts in recent domestic seasons in the Caribbean, they've been dominated by spinners.

Sabina Park is arguably the most favourable venue for fast bowlers in the WI.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

YAAR (Yasir Amir Abbas Riaz) attack.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hopefully Amir gets a five wicket haul

 

[shaz619]

I wish. I am simply [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]'s cricketing mentor.

Top quality stuff, reminds me of meself confusing Big Mac so much that I force him to hit wicket and leave the pitch in frustration

 

[JibranAnsari]

Mohammad abbas looks like indian bowler.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What is the difference between Imran Khan and Mohammad Abbas?

 

[Ellipsism]

Mohammad abbas looks like indian bowler.

Looks like a carbon copy of Imran Khan.

 

[Ellipsism]

What is the difference between Imran Khan and Mohammad Abbas?

Abbas gets a tad more movement off the seam, that's about it.

Both are average cricketers.

 

[dildildalwalla]

A quality first spell from Amir. Not his best spell of bowling but he can only get better this series.

And looking at how many overs him and Abbas have had to ball, why not just throw Shah in there? The Windies won't be able to play him anyway, grass or no grass.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

59/4

 

[JibranAnsari]

What is the difference between Imran Khan and Mohammad Abbas?

Imran khan was 15 ks quicker and was an allrounder.

 

[Rayyman]

YAAR (Yasir Amir Abbas Riaz) attack.

Hopefully Yasir comes on soon.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It was a trap field and he fell for it.

You know wahab is bowling something special when he bowls according to the field settings.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Imran khan was 15 ks quicker and was an allrounder.

I was talking about the new Imran Khan we have. Imran Khan Jr.

 

[yasir]

That was great delivery from Wahab!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

You know wahab is bowling something special when he bowls according to the field settings.

That was a 4 delivery but the incompetent batsman could only pick out the fielder.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Abbas gets a tad more movement off the seam, that's about it.

Both are average cricketers.

Perhaps.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Will Yasir bowl in this session?

 

[MMHS]

This Abbas guy is good, delayed at least by 3-4 years, but still he has made it. Is he around 6'2"?

 

[TalhaSyed]

Abbas is still getting quite a bit of seam movement.

It's a very nice seam position and the ball lands on the seam, giving it some movement. Good to see.

 

[yasir]

Which ball they are using? - Seam is holding up nicely, even after two hours?

 

[Ellipsism]

Which ball they are using? - Seam is holding up nicely, even after two hours?

Dukes.

 

[yasir]

That was Jaffa from Abbas

 

[MMHS]

Which ball they are using? - Seam is holding up nicely, even after two hours?

Dukes, Test grade 1; most expensive balls around. WI uses that in domestics as well.

 

[yasir]

Dukes.

No wonder, I don't like PCB using Kokobara in test, we got to change that for home test :

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wahab concedes too many runs, can the guy just stop doing that for once?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why can't kookaburra make a ball of this standard? Much better contest between bat and ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab bowling rubbish as usual , no.movement.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This Abbas guy is good, delayed at least by 3-4 years, but still he has made it. Is he around 6'2"?

No isnt that tall.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I just like Yasir so much. He brings so much positivity to the team.

 

[shebimalik]

Rashid Latif said that in 2 years M Abbas has learned a lot from M Asif
