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

[Arsalan Pro]

These two yet to get off the mark.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need one solid partnership to get into lead here

 

[nads_rocks]

misbah 0/12
Asad 0/7

Both competing with each other in dot balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan tail will need to fire here.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

These 2 should stay till end.

 

[nads_rocks]

Safraz would have been so handy right now in the middle

 

[Khan12]

It was sarcasm to tease the Azhar fan. Ellipsism rates Babar.

Hope so. I see a lot of babar haters these days or any decent Pakistani player i.e amir, shadab, Harris etc.

 

[nads_rocks]

These 2 should stay till end.

They will on 0 each

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I thought he got out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack of rotation of strike is baffling

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good pace by Gabriel.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

They will on 0 each

No worries, No balls will always be there to help.

 

[Justcrazy]

Are these two looking to block all the overs here

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Bishop and Dujon are great. So well spoken.

 

[nads_rocks]

Asad 0/12
Misbah 0/12

This is what test cricket is about right folks. Solid defending.

Its an embarassment that batsman of Misbah and Shafiq calibre cant even get a single run?

188-4 in 70 overs with play yet to stop any time due to bad light.

Am glad i aint wasting my time watching this match

 

[Arsalan Pro]

These 2 are leaving everything, it seems they are waiting for spinners so they can bash them.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

WI missed Blackwood here.
also a spinner like Ashley Nurse.

 

[Ellipsism]

Bishop and Dujon are great. So well spoken.

And then we have the Ramiz...

The average PP'er has more knowledge about the game.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Misbah gets off the mark, it took him eternity.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

this pak team is disgrace to the cricket.

 

[Ellipsism]

this pak team is disgrace to the cricket.

Thank you.

 

[Justcrazy]

Single .... !!! Misbah off the mark

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Ramiz in between empty seats.

 

[MRSN]

These 2 are leaving everything, it seems they are waiting for spinners so they can bash them.

Story of Misbah's career.

 

[Citizen4]

Rameez is not even watching this borefest

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Joseph into the attack now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Went down to get pizza. Wth happened?

 

[Citizen4]

3 runs in the last 4 overs

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Story of Misbah's career.

Yup, pretty much.

 

[MRSN]

This is such a lollypop fast bowling on a road and these two are making them look like next coming of Akhter and Lee.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

WI reviews.

 

[Justcrazy]

Very slow batting.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Big inside edge.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Holder makes such poor decisions regarding DRS.

 

[On_the_up]

That was a hopeless review or should I say a very hopeful one..

 

[Arsalan Pro]

1 more run, Well Done.

 

[Ellipsism]

Holder is holding this team back.

Needs to drop the captaincy and give it to Chase.

 

[Boi]

Shafiq isn't even trying to get off the mark. Seems like he doesn't mind expanding his poultry farm.

 

[Citizen4]

New ball is due in 7 overs, both will be back to the pavilion most likely

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shafiq yet to get off mark.

 

[Citizen4]

Shafiq isn't even trying to get off the mark. Seems like he doesn't mind expanding his poultry farm.

he is the master of ducks after all

 

[Arsalan Pro]

New ball is due in 7 overs, both will be back to the pavilion most likely

And then all pressure would be on Sarfraz to bat with tail and save Pakistan.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Poor batting.

 

[On_the_up]

More disappointed in Shafiq, he has shown to be positive in the past but has been sucked into the Misbah quicksand in this case.

 

[On_the_up]

Is the plan to block the old ball and attack the new one?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

They should rotate strike if they are not able to find boundaries.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is really poor , slow batting , need to get some runs.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Misbah getting lucky runs.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

It seems they are playing for draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad 21 balls , yet to get off mark

 

[Justcrazy]

It seems they are playing for draw.

Misbah always plays for draw

 

[lahoriyah1234]

IS THIS A NEW TREND SET BY MISBAH. Any new Batsmen have to do tuk tuk for the first 17 ball of his inning.

I mean this is WI B team we are playing against.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Misbah as Captain has an average 50.6 while as Non captain it is 33.6

 

[fazleefridi]

And Asad better than Kohli... Lol

I bet, kohli wontbat this way, even in his nightmares. Rather he would get out, than this blockathon

 

[last_knight]

IIRC, it was in England when Shafiq played 20 odd balls before he was dismissed for Nought.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Misbah continuing from where he left in Australia.

 

[nads_rocks]

IIRC, it was in England when Shafiq played 20 odd balls before he was dismissed for Nought.

Maybe he is trying to break his own record

 

[QalandarFan]

I stopped watching after Babar got out and they have amassed 7 runs in 7 overs!

Disappointing stuff.

 

[Citizen4]

IIRC, it was in England when Shafiq played 20 odd balls before he was dismissed for Nought.

hope he gets a duck for this ridiculous effort here

 

[Citizen4]

why does Fazeer always brings up the tours of NZ and Aus? always mentions it always, every single day

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shafiq getting off mark seems to be a bigger achievement than Younis's 10 K.

 

[Sadevdesai]

Doesn't look like we want to win this Test Match !!! I could be wrong.

 

[nads_rocks]

I stopped watching after Babar got out and they have amassed 7 runs in 7 overs!

Disappointing stuff.

2 were no balls because the bowlers got tired of bowling maidens

 

[lahoriyah1234]

PCB better hope that Pakistan win this series. Otherwise i wont be surprise if Misbah Doctor allow him to continue playing for Pakistan for 1 more year.

Pakistan need new batsmen who can take our test cricket forward. For that i believe. Asif Zakir and Fawad alam, and Harris sohail must be given chances now.

 

[nads_rocks]

mubarak asad finally manages a single on the 27th ball of his innings.

Here is to 30 more dot balls next.

 

[last_knight]

hope he gets a duck for this ridiculous effort here

These blockathons compromise your reflexes. More likely to get out than getting your eye in. Misbah is a freaking exception, as was Wasti.

Shafiq will get out soon.

 

[On_the_up]

Ridiculous batting from these 2, it is understandable if there were only a few overs left in the day, but not when there are about 17.

 

[Boi]

Don't think there's another batting lineup in the world who goes into their shells so quickly and shut up shop. It is such an annoying approach.

 

[troodon]

Pak trying to save the Test?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is this what Mickey Arthur wants as well. I hope not, i think this Is Misbah disease which will take time to be removed from the other batsmens. No disrespect to Misbah but i will be Happy once he leaves and we can move forward.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

WI commentary team is only behind English commentary team.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan loose couple of wickets they will be in trouble , because they are not getting runs , pathetic mind set

 

[Arsalan Pro]

6 of 61 their combined runs and balls.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Mental midgets doing what they always do.

 

[Citizen4]

2 nightswatchmen together

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Even if your are 4 down by the end of day. Atleast score 250 so there is a chance we can get to 400 and can bowl WI out cheaply and win.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Finally a

 

[fazleefridi]

Ppers: Shafiq better than Kohli
Mickey(one step forward, than ppers): I see Sachin in Shafiq.

Wow.

 

[On_the_up]

This WI team is there for the taking, if these guys cant win this series, some of them should give up cricket.

The lack of intent here is inexcusable, especially with the poor weather forecast in the remaining 2 days.

Similar thing happened in the 2nd test against NZ, they blocked and blocked on the final day chasing a biggish target till tea and suddenly tried to accelerate and were all out comfortably before the close.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

These 2 have been lucky.
