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

[On_the_up]

That was a beautifully crafted cricket shot by Younis. Pure class.

 

[Khan12]

Test cricket, mate.

I was talking about odi's.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I am hoping they finish this trail today.

 

[Markhor]

Nicely played by Younis, good use of the feet and turned that ball into a full toss. Will miss his spin playing abilities.

 

[QalandarFan]

How much time left in the day?

 

[MRSN]

So Younis played real slow to get to his landmark to assure his 10k runs and not he has gone from a 20-25sr to 44sr.

The way pakistan really pace their test innings shows no intent to win or bat the opposition out the game. With 1 day washed out they really don't have a chance to play so slow but what can you expect from a team still living in the dark ages...

Draw looks imminent if they carry on this tempo.

unfortunately agressive cricket under captaincy of Misbah is not possible. Once Misbah and YK goes we might see change of approach.

 

[QalandarFan]

We've scored at 3.6 this session.

 

[Khan12]

Disgusting to see Pakistani fans who still hate on Babar

It's because they know their favourites won't get a game for the next 15 years inshallah

 

[Citizen4]

We've scored at 3.6 this session.

a maiden by a part timer now

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Gabriel back.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Stop whinging guys. Watch test cricket with some patience.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

hope pakistan does have a plan here.
considering this is the 3rd day.
doesnt really seems like they have one

 

[Citizen4]

finally they brought fast bowler back, they had given up it looked liked

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a shot.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Beautiful shot by Babar.

 

[QalandarFan]

!!!! What a shot.. beautiful!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Into the 70s now.

 

[Citizen4]

Stop whinging guys. Watch test cricket with some patience.

we would have been more patient if the rain wasn't forecasted for the whole match. We are set now should accelerate and score with the rr of 4+
Babar has just hit a nice boundary as I type this

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nice shot

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Sweet.

 

[JibranAnsari]

we would have been more patient if the rain wasn't forecasted for the whole match. We are set now should accelerate and score with the rr of 4+
Babar has just hit a nice boundary as I type this

Yah and get out under 250 in the process , the ball is gripping on the surface. Its not east to score quick out there.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hope babar gets a hundred before the end of the day!

 

[JibranAnsari]

We might get another hour of play.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bishoo could be dangerous here.

 

[Citizen4]

Yah and get out under 250 in the process, the ball is gripping on the surface. Its not east to score quick out there.

we have 8 wickets in hand and 100 runs behind. Batsmen are set as well, no excuse for playing slowly now, if a wicket falls then they will difinitely be a little bit more carefull

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good deliveries by Bishoo.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pakistan will miss Younis khan the player against spin. He is world class here.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on man, Younis gone

Should've scored number 35.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nicely disguised. Decent knock from Younis.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Walking wicket here. Windies should be all over him.

 

[Markhor]

Need to see it out for the rest of the day.

Then bat for majority of tomorrow and do to WI what Australia did to us at the MCG. Otherwise don't see there being enough time in the match for us to force a result.

 

[Ellipsism]

I was talking about odi's.

And?

 

[QalandarFan]

Misbah Needs 49 Runs to reach 5K another countdown begins!

 

[Khan12]

Walking wicket here. Windies should be all over him.

Hopefully a first ball duck

 

[On_the_up]

Realy hope it isn't a blocking session from Misbah here, and looks to least keep the score board ticking.

 

[On_the_up]

Will Misbah go for a leg side hoick early against the spinner?

 

[Citizen4]

really hope Misbah gets a 50 here at least

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Let's see if Misbah gets to his 5000 in this innings.

 

[Khan12]

And?

So I guess Australian bowling attack is a lollipop. No point arguing with a guy who doesn't know what he said.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Trail now exactly 100.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Babar gone now.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Well played 72.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nice Gabriel. This is why you need genuine pacers.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Always Gabriel.

 

[On_the_up]

Babar plays on.

Not what was needed for sure, both set players back within 3 overs.

 

[Ellipsism]

Mega collapse coming

 

[JibranAnsari]

A nothing shot by babar.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Both of them got out together and at the wrong time.

 

[world cup captain]

Hopefully a first ball duck

Someone is sour

 

[Citizen4]

Babar lost his concentration

 

[Markhor]

Oh great, now two new batsmen at the crease.

Scratch that abut batting all day tomorrow, I'll take the draw then...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shafiq needs to step up now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

250 now seems difficult.

 

[On_the_up]

Was a poor shot by Babar, a lazy poke with an angled bat.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

What a spell it's turning out to be for Gabriel and West Indies.

 

[Khan12]

Someone is sour

Not sour. I hate selfish and coward player such as misbah. Who have played with players careers and stays loyal to his friends.

 

[On_the_up]

Tuk tuk session coming up me thinks.

 

[nads_rocks]

Should have sent out Safraz here to atleast have someone rotate the strike.

Already saw a slow solid defensive partnership btwn Younis and Babar and now we have to go through it all over again with Misbah and Asad.

Misbah will do what Younis did for his 10k runs, grind and grind till his 5k and Asad is another slow slug.

I guess Pakistan already playing for the draw.

 

[Ellipsism]

So I guess Australian bowling attack is a lollipop. No point arguing with a guy who doesn't know what he said.

Last time I checked test cricket and ODI cricket is a completely different ball game.

The topic in question is test cricket and then you bring up his OD average vs Australia.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

400 seems out of reach now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq had a horrible tour of west indies in 2011. Hope he does well this time.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Gabriel needs to work out his front foot problem.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good over for WI.

 

[Khan12]

Last time I checked test cricket and ODI cricket is a completely different ball game.

The topic in question is test cricket and then you bring up his OD average vs Australia.

The last time I read he likes lollipop attacks so I guess Australia is one.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Trail now in double figures.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

65 mins of tuk tuk coming up (light permitting)

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Get Alzarri in asap. These two mental midgets ain't about to do anything.

 

[Ellipsism]

The last time I read he likes lollipop attacks so I guess Australia is one.

Do you even know the context to that statement?

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Too many No balls.

 

[world cup captain]

Not sour. I hate selfish and coward player such as misbah. Who have played with players careers and stays loyal to his friends.

Yep, the same guy who came into the team as the captain at the age of 35 so Pakistan Cricket doesn't die off is now the villain. Great logic!

 

[On_the_up]

Any insomniacs should be tuning in right now...

 

[nads_rocks]

17 possible overs left in the day. Pak will grind it out till 250 and then tomorrow will take forever to get lead of atleast 200 giving West Indies an opening to draw out on day 5.

Other top nations would have batted West Indies out the game. Shows the gap btwn Pak and other test nations

 

[Khan12]

Do you even know the context to that statement?

Ooh now let's change the context great.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Another No ball.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Great delivery.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Ooh now let's change the context great.

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

 

[nads_rocks]

Even the bowlers are helping with the runs, can't blame them...if the batsman wont score then the bowlers will have to get the scoreboard ticking 1 run at a time
