West Indies v Pakistan | 1st Test | Sabina Park, Kingston | Apr 21-25, 2017 | Day 3

[imshally81]

Good going... Just need to rotate the strike

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ian bishop reminds me of a black Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

[fazleefridi]

Poor from these 2.

Such play, would take you nowhere

 

[Markhor]

Babar Azam doing a passable impression of Chris Tavare.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last 10 ovs 15/0 RR 1.50

very slow

 

[imranraf]

Younus lucky there

 

[Rayyman]

Believe it or not, I was actually contemplating swimming to Jamaica to see the legend's 10,000. The rain forecast made me think otherwise. Would've gotten there by Day 3 morning session if I started the trip on Day 1 afternoon session. Only around 100 miles from here. Still, I am pretty hyped for it sitting here watching on teevee.

 

[Red Devil]

[MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] the power of the urn is like no other 22 more to go inshaAllah azawajal, please lord let him get there today, Jummahless streak will also be broken

He's just taking his time so we the fans have enough time to get our celebratory gifs ready.

 

[imshally81]

Babar batting position should replace with Asad in test...

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis still 18 runs away from landmark.

 

[imshally81]

finally

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally from Babar!

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Hoping Babar doesn't fall into the pakistani trend of blocking the pacers and hammering the spinners.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Younis' SR will magically improve once he crosses 23.

 

[QalandarFan]

YK's innings is going even slower than Azhar's 31 (171) against NZ

Four from babar

 

[world cup captain]

The spirit squad has left Younis deserted.

 

[Justcrazy]

86 / 2

drinks

 

[Rayyman]

The spirit squad has left Younis deserted.

Nope! Still here!

Looking forward to seeing the two legends bat together!

[fazleefridi]

Wth is Younis trying to prove, by striking at less than 10.

C'mon

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Wth is Younis trying to prove, by striking at less than 10.

C'mon

He's justifying his retirement.

 

[fazleefridi]

A shehzad, King of tuk tuk, 31(50)
B AZAM kohli, superstar, dynamic, modern player, 31(101)

With one drop,and one lbw not given

 

[Citizen4]

Babar has played 101 deliveries so far, good going

 

[world cup captain]

Nope! Still here!

Looking forward to seeing the two legends bat together!

A shehzad, King of tuk tuk, 31(50)
B AZAM kohli, superstar, dynamic, modern player, 31(101)

With one drop,and one lbw not given

The lbw that was going down leg?

 

[world cup captain]

Ramiz is the most depressing "commentator" to listen to.

 

[fazleefridi]

The lbw that was going down leg?

Nope, the one which was hitting. All 3 were red. Jason didn't review

 

[world cup captain]

The lbw that was going down leg?

Nope, it was out but WI did not take the review.

 

[Muhammad10]

The lbw that was going down leg?

Replays showed the decision would've been overturned if Holder had taken a review.

 

[Rayyman]

Lmao Waqar saying "chuck some youngsters in there."

 

[Belawal2014]

Nope, the one which was hitting. All 3 were red. Jason didn't review

Nope, it was out but WI did not take the review.

Thanks. I just started watching like 20 minutes ago. Really slow for Babar, thus far.

 

[Rayyman]

Sweep shot and then a one-legged drive. Classic YK.

 

[fazleefridi]

I am huge critic of Shezi and a great fan of Babar

But, I got to say, Shezi played better, and Babar is being to defensive and/or selfish

 

[QalandarFan]

more from Babar!

 

[QalandarFan]

Thanks. I just started watching like 20 minutes ago. Really slow for Babar, thus far.

But then again it is test cricket and Babar is just finding his feet in tests after a tough ANZ Tour.

 

[Belawal2014]

But then again it is test cricket and Babar is just finding his feet in tests after a tough ANZ Tour.

Agree, but scoring rate needs to be a tad faster, even for Test Cricket, especially when you're playing at #3.

 

[fazleefridi]

But then again it is test cricket and Babar is just finding his feet in tests after a tough ANZ Tour.

That's is what, in tests you are allowed to play at 55, if not 50, if wickets are falling, least should be 40.

25 is not acceptable in any case. You will just go into a shell and end up losing wicket.

This is the sole reason Sami is dropped, despite doing so well in England.

And, I am a huge fan of Babar

Always here
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] - what we got here?

 

[yasir]

Waqar was discussing no 4 for test, I agree with humble that HArris is best choice among Amin, Fawad and Harris. I hope can PAkistan go for him.

Azhar and Sami/Sharjeel are best choices for opener. WE also need to play Shadab as 5th bowler and all rounder, BD series is good time to try new players. OTHer than that Hasan should be another given a chance (if fit).

[Khan12]

Even though babar azam is batting slow, but he is showing good temperament which is essential for a test batsmen.

 

[QalandarFan]

100 up

 

[Rayyman]

Sherr Baburr

 

[Arsalan Pro]

[Arsalan Pro]

Babar into 40s.

Spirit squad on stand by!!

 

[Ellipsism]

Ramiz trolling Shehzad.

"Call the ambulance" )

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

It is beyond me what is Pakistan trying to accomplish here with this tuk tuk. We already lost a day and have limited time remaining in the match and Pakistan batsman are playing like it's the first day and pitch has demons in it. This is our best chance to win the series in WI and we don't even care. Pakistan batsman are far far far behind rest of the world.

 

[Hasan123]

Younis wants to get the 10k mark and then he'll be his normal self.

 

[Rayyman]

10 more runs...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

50 partnership.

 

[QalandarFan]

partnership!

 

[NauV]

Pitch is two paced and slow . . outfield is extremely slow . . not easy to score quickly . . having said that, I do think they haven't really tried to be proactive either . . but 3 an over on this pitch is probably par

 

[QalandarFan]

What was that about?

 

[Rayyman]

Babar giving me flashbacks. I once missed a sweep shot and got hit. Nose bled all over the place.

 

[ExpressPacer]

How are you guys even watching this? What a waste of time. God. I know this is Test cricket but am I missing something? It wasn't supposed to be THIS slow. I feel like Pakistan tools "Slow and steady wins the race" a little too seriously.

 

[Citizen4]

Bishoo is bowling better than Yasir on this pitch

 

[Rayyman]

Lazy sunday afternoon...

 

[Belawal2014]

looooooooooooool. What was that from Babar.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Bishoo is bowling better than Yasir on this pitch

We are just pathetic bats. Dont understand what were trying to do. But yes, he's looked to have more control.

 

[TalhaSyed]

8 runs left!

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Even though babar azam is batting slow, but he is showing good temperament which is essential for a test batsmen.

lol you guys are unbelievable.
even if babar sit to take some "you know what i mean"
you guys gonna say . "wow amazing technique" &#55357;&#56834;

 

[Abdul]

Oozing talent.

they are just being careful, if they start to lose wickets here they'll be in trouble, I think they are trying to get to a decent score first, then the will accelerate, wickets will be in hand so it won't be risky

 

[ExpressPacer]

Lazy sunday afternoon...

Makes sense I guess. It's 1 AM over here and I can't believe I'm still up. Just want to see Younis get to the 10K mark so I can tell people about seeing it live 40 years from now. )

 

[Arsalan Pro]

7 runs away now.

 

[Hasan123]

7 away now.

 

[Abdul]

7 away now.

Wonder if he'll try to get there with a six!

 

[nads_rocks]

This match has drawn written all over it. Pakistan have lost a day due to weather and are not in any position at all to want to go into day 4 with a lead of something. They are the most boring team to watch in a test match. Batting at 2rpo is not good enough at all

 

[ExpressPacer]

they are just being careful, if they start to lose wickets here they'll be in trouble, I think they are trying to get to a decent score first, then the will accelerate, wickets will be in hand so it won't be risky

I totally get that man but you've got to bat better than this if you want to win the test. This will definitely go into a draw at this rate. Being cautious is one thing and not even looking to score is another.

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Ramiz is the most depressing "commentator" to listen to.

giving stiff competition to athar ali khan

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's nearly there you know, I want him to overtake Gavaskar later too.

 

[Rayyman]

Take your time Pakistan. No point in trying to win here. I am lovin' the mentality from Pakistan here.

Good partnership this!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

MYK has changed his batting gears from HS to SG.. New sponsor for his 10k runs...

 

[Hasan123]

Wonder if he'll try to get there with a six!

No he'll play it carefully. I think he's batted this slow because he wants to get the milestone out of the way. It's not like him to bat at this pace.

 

[Citizen4]

I totally get that man but you've got to bat better than this if you want to win the test. This will definitely go into a draw at this rate. Being cautious is one thing and not even looking to score is another.

they are just being selfish, man! Waqar said it openly a while ago, "once they get to personal milestones, they will accelerate"

 

[Khan12]

lol you guys are unbelievable.
even if babar sit to take some "you know what i mean"
you guys gonna say . "wow amazing technique" ��

If he plays like this when he is settled into test arena then I will be the first to criticize him. Don't know what's so unbelievable about what I said can you help me please to understand it?

Until this milestone mentality leaves Pakistan they'll continue to struggle.

 

[Hasan123]

Babar has shown good tempremeant for test match cricket today. Needs to rotate strike a bit more though. But showing improvement from the Australian tour.
