looks a sluggish, sticky pitch, the likes of which we often get in the Windies

Indeed but it won't stop posters from crying about "tuk tuk" - I've watched nearly every Caribbean home summer since the 90s and nearly every match is like this !

The problem is Pakistan's batsmen are TERRIBLE are knowing what a par score is at a ground and playing accordingly. Babar and Shehzad lost their patience.
 
Rarely happens. And even then its never one man that wins you a match, at least an LOI match. Anyway, Afridi was far from our best powerhitter over the past couple of years.

Anyway, Fakhar Zaman isn't even a power hitter, what are you talking about?! Have you not seen the PSL. He's a good timer of the ball and can hit the ball hard maybe, but definitely a power hitter.

Azam is pathetic. He has no potential. Has done nothing on the international stage over the numerous chances he's gotten and honestly, you get only so many chances. This isn't Christmas.

Fakhar has the potential to be a power hitter. Azam deserves another go, can hit big.
 
Babar deserves more criticism than this fgs he played a maiden over in PP

Bro , are u suggesting he should be dropped? Ofcourse everyone here knows he lacks muscles to hit good balls over the infield. Everyone admits to it. What else can one say?
 
This pitch looks to be a real demon. Not good for judging young batsmen like Zaman and Shadab. They may fail and people will form the opinion that they are average batsmen. Pathetic pitch for cricket. And then they ask why cricket is a dying sport..

absolutely right, this wicket is not for t20s, it's stupid to disregard the pitch and blindly just look at the scorecard
 
I think shehzad is just being unlucky these days. I have been his biggest critic but his game has changed a bit from whatever time i have seen him spend at the crease. He looks to take more singles now. This doesnt mean he should get a free ride though. Needs to make some runs too.

that post was for [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] only; I feel [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] is too diplomatic and need to be more upfront
 
Thats why i said its no use to play ttfs and just make numbers..

would have been better if we play a young bowler and promote Shadab up the order.

Been saying it in last match as well. These pitches are pathetic for t20s. 130-140 is a match winning score here with the spinners Pak has.

Yeah, here par score is 135-140, don't try for 160-170, you will end up below 120...

These are really poor T20 wickets... only reason WI is so good at T20 is because of millions of six hitters, these pitches has nothing to do with it.
 
Two pathetic sides on an even more pathetic wicket. PAK should drag it to 125 & still probably will win it - that sums up both teams & the wicket.
 
Pathetic pitch. Pakistan should try to score 115+ here
 
This is absolutely pathetic. As gutless and talentless as Pakistani batting displays go, this is a splendid example of an exceptional one.
 
He had to hit the ball in the direction of The tallest man in the stadium.

100 is a match winning score on this pitch.

I agree.

However we might struggle to make 100 trying to reach 200 on this pitch :)
 
Terrible reading of the pitch from our players. Pakistan have ZERO in-game management skills.

Play according to the conditions ! You're not going to slog 180 on this surface !

125 is defendable. I know the CPL scores were high last year but I don't remember the surfaces being as slow and tacky as this.

This pathetic side just smacked your side silly in the T20 WC game.
 
Abhi buhat batting baqi Hai... You lot lose hope too easy
 
You know your team is bad when the only person able to clear boundaries is at the twilight of his career.
 
Pakistan should drop Kamran Akmal and open with Fakhar Zaman. Lets give the new guy chance at the position where he plays in the domestic
 
I'm surprised Malik gets so much stick - he's he best In this line-up by some distance.
 
Shobby is the only oldie who should be in our sides

That only tells how good our side is. I guess you r a Muslim - take a pick between pork or dog meat ... both haram .....
 
I am not going to big up Malik on West Indian performance.

What in the world???????


Pakistan is actually not half bad in T20s

since his comeback he wasnt bad.... he was good to ok if we have to rate... In england he was struggling but still managed to score a fifty in a record winning chase
