What's new

West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Providence | April 9, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

Babar loves his 120s vs the WI. Has to get there no matter what.
 
Just goes to show how selfishly he batted from 65-100
 
Those of you calling Babar out...We would've been all out had he gotten out. Our best batsman. Shabaash Sherr Babur.
 
That's put away nicely, wish we saw more of this earlier from Babar though.
 
Started ten overs late. But should be good enough against windies.
 
If Babar can hit sixes after being there for 125 balls in the heat, it's pathetic he didn't try earlier.

and had he got out earlier would we bea looking at 260-270 score?

Blaming one batsmen whose held the innings together is disingenuous
 
You guys need to understand that the other batsmen were getting out throughout our innings. It was essential for Babar to bat through, hence the minimal risk taking.
 
imad hater disappearing like the ball now!

need to realize he is not a slogger. needs time to get in

Babar has a selfish streak in him; he has to bat with a hitter all the time to compensate for this flaw
 
And did you see that transition, playing till the 100 for himself and then he remembers the team!!!
 
[MENTION=107753]uberkoen[/MENTION] talk nah. Imad showing you why he should be in the team
 
Babar needs to be talked to 1 on 1 today. PAK might get away with a win today, but unless it's treated at the start, it'll become incurable later.

Again the same story - 5 wickets at hand & under per score. That 11 to 40 overs must be worked out.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that he was playing selfishly once he knew he could get a century.
 
Carter to bowl the last over !

Holder's captaincy inflating Pakistan's total :facepalm:
 
My stance on Imad vindicated . . he is a proper batsman! not a slogger . . needs to bat number 6 . . move everyone up and kick hafeez out
 
[MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] you just owned the entirety of PP with the support of Imad
 
It is West Indies, it is poor captaincy, but Imad is doing his business, need keep investing in these young guys. The future is not Akmal, hafeez, shehzad, Malik.
 
Just admitted that I could possibly be wrong about him.

Yeah saw your post. I just think we as fans need to give players some time. Look at how giving persisting with Jadega and Ashwin paved out for India. Not even gonna speak for Rohit Sharma.

Because he whacked a few against a medium pacer?

He's literally just displayed his ability against decent bowling, couldn't even hit outside of the 30 yard circle.

Patience is a virtue. This is what you learn growing up watching the Misbah
era.

Good to see Imad help Pakistan get to a competitive total!
 
Wow Babar. He really turned it on incredibly well towards the end. Made an impressive innings out if it in the grand scheme of things but I wish he had accelerated a bit earlier.
 
Bizarre captaincy from Holder as Carter had no right to be bowling that last over.

282 could be tricky to chase on a pitch that's seen the spinners able to grip and turn the ball. But then, WI chased 300 in the last game.
 
It's clear that Imad isn't a lower order slogger and he shouldn't be treated like one. He can be a poor mans Dhoni which is no mean feat. Should be batting at 6.
