West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Bridgetown, Barbados | Apr 30-May 4, 2017 | Day 5

Rambo is the worst commentator to have ever existed.

Every time I turn the volume on I have to listen to his nonsense..things like the pitch can take them on a downward spiral.

Honestly I've had enough of watching the cricket in silence...

Please someone sack him as a commentator...

Anyway, Shafiq gone too so might as well switch channels and watch something else...
 
And another, Pakistan could get rolled over here like England did in Trinidad in 1994.
 
the pathetic approach in the first innings coming back to haunt us.

Nothing to do with 1st innings. RR was fine. Lead was crucial. Not being able to kill the West Indies in their 2nd innings, and a combination of poor 4th innings batting is costing us.

188 in the 4th innings against this West Indies attack should be gettable.
 
:))) bunch of ftbs getting exposed by bunch of rookies lol what a sight.
 
[MENTION=107807]Pete Rose[/MENTION] and [MENTION=57110]JibranAnsari[/MENTION] are on vacation today, that means room for two people opened up in the wrist-slitters room.

After your "Time to get nervous" I thought you had one foot in the door
 
Lol.. and they said winning against West Indian schoolboys doesn't count. :yk
 
Hahaha. Talk about timing.

Ok, panic time now. I'll join the club.
 
I am just laughing at the folks who were thinking we would've chased a score of near 200 in away conditions @ West Indies :)) :))

The match was lost when West Indies crossed the 120 mark lead !!
 
We will not score over 70 either. WI will win by massive runs.
Typical PCB management playing Babar and Sadab. Both are not test material. Shafiq should be kicked out as well.
 
How is Shehzad still there :yk :)))

I guess he has done a mannat of Nafil roza or something for success !!

They are nurturing BABAR for the future. Nothing wrong with that. But the hype with shadab is stupid to throw him to tests leaving asghar is a very bad move.

Probably justified in all honesty. Pakistan haven't looked convincing enough to take a 2-0 lead in this series. They've crawled their way to get themselves in winning positions then collapsed repeatedly. I think this team is fighting hard just to keep their noses in front.

everything was wrong with how Pakistan played in the first innings. The pitch was not that bad to be scoring only 10 runs off 60 balls. You have to admit it was pretty defensive and selfish batting. Our batsmen didn't think WI could comeback with any fightback so they wanted to just bat for themselves. We could have got more lead if we were more positive.
 
All you weak souls giving up on Pakistan already.


Our best batsmen are at the crease. Just you wait and watch how we cruise home.


Good luck Shezzy and Saifi


:salute

yes even the last game deserved a draw for selfish batting of Pakistani batsmen but well done to Yasir for pulling off a win but this time WI have come back with a better reply to Pakistan's first innings.
 
This game is all but over, no?

I seriously cannot see anyone surviving on this pitch and bringing the game home. Awful batting, yes. But the pitch has been atrocious to bat on.

They upped the rate when they could. RR of 2.8 is not bad at all.

If we had batsmen who are all David Warner's then yeah, complain. But can't fault players playing their natural game. This nonsense of aggression has blinded everyone.

We can point to a multitude of things from our slow start in the 1st inns and not killing the game with a 100+ lead, Shadab not finding a consistent length and adjusting to Test cricket and not having a 5th bowler.

We'd do well to cross 100 here, can't seem to buy a run. Credit to WI for bowling accurately albeit the pitch has helped with uneven bounce.

Have it all to do in Dominica now.

No faith in shehzad watching him batting but a bit in sarfraz. There's still a bit of hope.

What really is disappointing though is our batsmen have all got out to pacers cheaply. WI haven't even tried spin yet and what we thought that the pitch would be better for spinners than pacers. And I thought our line up was good against spin. But they didn't even get the chance to prove it as they got out so cheaply.
 
I have noticed that cloud cover builds up every time Pakistan need it the most. How do you do it? :amla

Remember that series in NZ when we got away with a drawn series under yousuf lol. Boy were we lucky with rain that time rofl. Remember yousuf even admitting it after the match :D.

You should have heard the commentary of CHOUDHURY JAFARULLA SHARAFAT of bd. None ever can be worse than he. �� :D:D:D

I think most were not confident about Pakistan chasing this down with ease and rightly so, keeping our track record in chasing smallish totals on Day 5 pitch in hindsight, it'll be extremely naive for anyone to believe that Pakistan will chase the total without any hiccups, I think everyone would've been perturbed at the prospect of an embarrassing collapse today and sadly their worst fears have been realized.

I don't know if people might remember this but Shehzad can do a Jimmy Adams here :))
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] I hope you guys remember the Antigua 2000 game :yk

I wish I didn't. One of our most heartbreaking defeats.

Before Edgebatson 2016, Before Galle 2012, Before Sydney 2010 there was Antigua 2000 :babar

That was the first time I cried over a test match loss but one has to agree that the umpiring was horrendously dodgy in that game as Wasim had dismissed Jimmy almost thrice in that single innings.

Plus that run out muck up by Saqlain in the end :facepalm:
 
Pak should still be able to win it.

If Sarfraz can bat for 20 overs, Pak will be in driving seat.

Pak's lower order are no mugs with the bat. Yasir/Amir/Shadab can all bat and support Sarfraz.

I say its 60-40 advantage to WI at lunch. All is not lost for Pak. A 30 or 40 run partnership will put WI under severe pressure. They are all noobs. No experience there.

O man , we are winninh this.

Just kidding :yk

I'm half expecting Billy Doctrove to come out and troll us one more time.

Thats one big IF !!!
 
Pakistan didnt deserve to win this after disgraceful bowling performance in both innings , yasir wasted 30 overs from around the wicket line when he could have been lethal from over the wicket.


Next match please.
