Frankly speaking Pakistan performance has been very scratchy , they will not be able to compete against better teams.

They've already competed against England and Australia away and battered them at home so...

And Amir and Abbas have bowled wonderfully throughout the series with the new ball so...

The rate at which they are going, they will have to bat till Tea tomorrow to get a lead of 300 before declaring.

WI will be happy with a draw. For their noob team, a draw is as good as a win.
 
Looks like I was right to name my fantasy team "Snoozefest"... :danish

People are so negative around here's ridiculous.

This team can't chase 200? or 250? Are you serious? I get it, the pitch is turning and bouncing something ridiculous. But WI has already posted over 200 runs on this very surface, and batting on this surface first time out (because it's been playing like this for three days), we made our way to 400.

This is the same team that has chased 300 plus multiple times. This is the team that has Younis Khan looking to make the final stamp on his career with one more big second innings to seal the deal. This is the team that has a stolid, nearly impossible to dismiss easily opener in Azhar Ali.

You think this team can't chase 200 or even 250? Guys, sit down, calm down, and be quiet. You can slit your wrists if we don't win. Don't worry about it now.
 
And here, we go gentleman, the WI collapse is now ongoing, watch Yasir, Shadab, and Amir send them back to the pavilion for a target of 180 at most.

Wasn't ready in time for that, sorry :(
 
A minute of silence for all those that were already predicting a Windies victory
 
Younis Khan has been compiling a master class of slip catches in this series.

Another ripper
 
I quietly surpassed 20k posts, for the second time :yk3
 
Dammit that would have gone straight to a second slip/gully

No one does at international level. On this pitch, I expect him to run through the West Indian line up.. irrespective of how much fight they show.

Sometimes its good to appreciate batsmen too.
Hope is playing a gem.
Ashwin etc wouldnt have done much against Hope. 5 FC centuries and 2 double centuries on the same ground for Hope.

See bro, it was about Hope. He played real good.
I think Pak bowlers have bowled well today. Dujon also praising Yasir highly just now and said that it was more of good batting.
 
Shaba bassii.. aek aur chahye..


#yeh dil mange more
 
Hopefully Amir gets some more overs to replace Abbas! Let's finish this in the next 10 overs!
 
Misbah replace Abbas with Amir.


Shah and Amir are our best bowlers they should be bowling in tandem when we have two new bats at the crease.
 
Really need to ride this wave of momentum here and pick up these last three wickets ASAP

Can't afford to let the tail Enders push the lead to 200
 
Almost another for Abbas!

Good effort from Shahzad, but couldn't hold on in the end
 
Oh lookey here, Shah picks up wickets by bowling over the wicket and away from a negative angle, who would have thought so?!!!!

That's sarcasm folks. Lots of us were saying this all along and yet Misbah still refuses to get extra fielders in close to the bat. Jeez! What is wrong here?

Yes I know but if you only check cricinfo and fail to watch the game then you will have no clue what I mean. IF you watched those games, Pakistan could have easily gone 1-0 after the first 2 tests. That first test was one of the most heart stopping in ages between the two sides. The Aussies looked completely down and out and Pak put in a performance for the ages. They then snatched defeat from the jaws of a draw in the 2nd game.

That's called competing and there is more depth to simply looking at a test scoreline.

How good is this Shai Hope? To show such defense on such a wicket against 2 quality leg spin bowlers takes some doing.

Rated highly by many WI ex-players like Jeff Dujon and Viv Richards.

Was spotted from an early age, has a compact technique, was probably given his debut 2 years too early back in 2015 so his stats aren't impressive. But he just needed an innings for his confidence.

Been smashing it in domestic, averaging 48 and 75 in the recent FC and LA competitions.
 
Growing up in America, I could never understand how exciting and engrossing Tests could be until the 2nd test vs. England in 2012.

The drama, the anticipation, the building, the burn of that moment of exultation or disappointment, and then suddenly a victory, is nothing but enjoyable. This test does nothing to dilute that impression.

It is a shame I could never have seen a Test between Pakistan and India. Younis Khan in a second inning vs. Shami, Yadav, Jadeja, Ashwin, either setting a massive total to chase or to put on the match-winning innings-that will be a disappointment that I will never get to see it.
 
Should bring on Shadab, he might pick the last three. Abbas needs rest after this.
