West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Bridgetown, Barbados | Apr 30-May 4, 2017 | Day 1

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar needs to stop blabbering a bit less and actually help the pacers in Pakistan.

Pakistan's ritual of producing quality fast bowlers has literally finished.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abbas could be a handful on pitches with some moisture in England as he has no pace but brings control. We saw how well Sohail did there too despite being 80-82mph.

 

[Justcrazy]

21 / 2

10 overs

 

[On_the_up]

Can Yasir carry on where he left off.

Powell being aggressive first up.

 

[On_the_up]

Definite spin in the 11th over of the match.

If Yasir is turning this much, how much spin will Shadab get?

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir comes in before Shadab

 

[JibranAnsari]

Awesome drift by yasir.

 

[Syed1]

Waqar needs to stop blabbering a bit less and actually help the pacers in Pakistan.

Pakistan's ritual of producing quality fast bowlers has literally finished.

Produced Hasan Ali and now Muhammad Abbas within the last 12-15 months. How many teams you know who keep producing bowlers of this quality on regular basis?

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Definite spin in the 11th over of the match.

If Yasir is turning this much, how much spin will Shadab get?

pak batting 4th, makes me feel nervous
hopefully we bat only once

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

which quality are you talking about. Hassan ne abhi tak koi teer nahi mara hai or abbas ne abhi sirf ek match khela hai

 

[On_the_up]

pak batting 4th, makes me feel nervous
hopefully we bat only once

Yes hopefully a repeat of the previous match.

Will definitely need a decent lead in the 1st inns.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good delivery.

 

[Justcrazy]

what a shot from Powell !

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan wouldnt want to bat last here.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Yasir getting huge turn here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to use Azhar Ali as a spinner for few overs , to keep him in touch , and he can break partnerships also.

 

[On_the_up]

Lot of spin from Yasir again, Waqar suggests it might be due to the moisture.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Its Spinning Miles

 

[Syed1]

which quality are you talking about. Hassan ne abhi tak koi teer nahi mara hai or abbas ne abhi sirf ek match khela hai

Hasan Ali has ODI average of 26 and T20 average of 19, if those numbers are not "teer marna" in your opinion then I don't know what is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan wouldnt want to bat last here.

They need a lead

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like shadab will bowl now.

 

[On_the_up]

WI could be all out before tea if Shadab and Yasir bowl well.

 

[Shafi]

Sadab will be next Yasir. PCB will never learn. Too much workload will destroy his future

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

which quality are you talking about. Hassan ne abhi tak koi teer nahi mara hai or abbas ne abhi sirf ek match khela hai

Hasan Ali is world class.

 

[On_the_up]

In the tamasha version Warner is going berserk, currently 69 off 27

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir back to bowl again.

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan need couple more wickets before lunch here

 

[Syed1]

Amir making them play every ball

 

[On_the_up]

Very good line by Amir at the moment.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

which quality are you talking about. Hassan ne abhi tak koi teer nahi mara hai or abbas ne abhi sirf ek match khela hai

And also fans like you love Sohail Tanvir once in a blue moon performance and 8rpo but can't recognize a world class player.

Hasan Ali is a champion bowler.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

36/2 in 14

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir bowling well again.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Where is Shadab?? Cummon Misbah utilize the turning pitch..

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Hasan Ali has ODI average of 26 and T20 average of 19, if those numbers are not "teer marna" in your opinion then I don't know what is.

and an economy of 6+ & 9+ as well

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Amir bowling well again.

Thank Azhar Mahmood.

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

And also fans like you love Sohail Tanvir once in a blue moon performance and 8rpo but can't recognize a world class player.

Hasan Ali is a champion bowler.

i don't love sohail tanvir. People here have a habit of over hyping players. I like Hassan, he is a nice hard working guy, but till now he hasn't done anything worth mentioning. May be that century against Australia

 

[IMMY69]

Yasir!!!

 

[On_the_up]

Fantastic delivery by Yasir.

WI will do well to last till tea.

 

[Nasty Naz]

End of Hope (pun intended).

 

[On_the_up]

End of Hope (pun intended).

West Indies are Hopeless

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Yasir strikes.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow. It's crazy how threatening Yasir looks on Day 1. We're not even 20 overs in yet.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Chase should bat at No.3. One of the best upcoming batsmen I've seen in recent times.

 

[On_the_up]

Maybe Yasir will get a CPL contract on the back of this series performance.

 

[On_the_up]

Shadab on to bowl

 

[fazleefridi]

Shadab on!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Shadab to bowl now.

 

[pakistani pride]

and an economy of 6+ & 9+ as well

Did you even see hasan ali bowl?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Is it just me or has Shadab's run up gotten longer?!

 

[On_the_up]

Good shot by Chase through midwkt.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I hope Pakistan gets one more wicket before tea.

 

[imshally81]

Some loose bowling by shadab...

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shadab still bowling in T20 mode

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Arsalan Pro]

60/3 in 23

 

[imshally81]

Inside edge n four

 

[imshally81]

Great delivery

 

[NauV]

In order to be successful at the test level, Shadab's consistency needs to improve . . Mystery doesn't make you succeed at the test level . . consistency and a great stock ball does! This will be a steep learning curve for him . .

 

[Nasty Naz]

That googly man... what a weapon.

 

[imshally81]

Should be caught

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Googly is unplayable.
He will settle.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Needs to bowl a bit up , good start by shadab.

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Did you even see hasan ali bowl?

i watched how he got wacke d in Australia

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir doesnt seem ok

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like his lower back is troubling him.

 

[Xoib]

In order to be successful at the test level, Shadab's consistency needs to improve . . Mystery doesn't make you succeed at the test level . . consistency and a great stock ball does! This will be a steep learning curve for him . .

Leg spinners take time to get control he is already of the curve cintrol will come with time.

 

[Justcrazy]

72 / 3

Pakistan need one more before lunch.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

i watched how he got wacke d in Australia

Everybody got Pummeled in Australia, it was a complete disaster but to single out Hassan is unfair on him tbh. If you wanna bash someone for that Australian disaster then bash the management and coaching staff. Just to put some perspective in what I am trying to convey, I'll throw in a small stat:

Our bowling average per wicket in test matches was 65.xx + which is the worst for Pakistan since 1960s.....That's how bad the tour went

 

[JibranAnsari]

3 bowlers for the whole test match , pakistan are in for a nightmare.

 

[JibranAnsari]

72/3 at lunch and pakistan possibly a man down.

 

[Xoib]

3 bowlers for the whole test match , pakistan are in for a nightmare.

Hold your horses.

With try to out do ourselves down under, the next time we're there it will be the worst performance in our history and then the following tour we'd perform so bad that a black hole will just consume the Pakistan team never to be seen again

Wait What ??!!....... ) )

 

[Markhor]

Hope Yasir is OK.

Shadab still trying to find Test match length, bowled too short in that spell. Powell and Chase are two of WI's better batsmen with Chase arguably their best player of spin so important we break this partnership soon after lunch.

 

[pakistani pride]

i watched how he got wacke d in Australia

LOL so you only saw him getting whacked in aus but just ignore all his other spells.

Its no shame getting hit in aus. He will learn from that. He also picked up a 5er in aus btw.

 

[Timewaster]

Of the leggies who was getting more spin???

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Of the leggies who was getting more spin???

yasir

 

[dildildalwalla]

How'd Shah get injured? I missed it but the commentary says he just hobbled off. This could be a sign he has had so much bowling to do. 3 bowlers will be a nightmare, I guess Azhar or someone will have to ball.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Mohammad Asghar would have loved these conditions. He turns it a mile. Let's hope Yasir is fit enough to survive this game.
