West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Port of Spain | April 1st, 2017 | West Indies Innings

[Citizen4]

just need to get Lewis out, Pak will win after that

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tanvir )

 

[Syed1]

Pathetic batting order costing us.

Malik with 2 (8) and then Sarfraz and Fakhar both struggled. Then we promoted Tanvir over Shadab.

Cost us a good 20-30 runs and ultimately the game as well.

How about Babar Azam doesn't chew up 40 balls to score 40 odd runs.

 

[Square Drive]

Shehzad should, at the very least, be dropped from the T20I squad after this series.

He might work in ODIs/Tests but in T20Is we have Babar, Fakhar, and even Kamran who can open.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

tanvir will win the man of the match for the WI

 

[Ellipsism]

Class fielding

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No offence but Hasan Ali looks like Ajit Agarkar to me. Expensive but takes wickets also.

 

[uberkoen]

Atleast WI top order can play T20 cricket. Same cannot be said for Babar Azam.

Harsh.

What did Babar Azam do wrong today? Second highest scorer for us and that too at a decent strike rate.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Tanvir facepalm.

Why did he take Shadab of? Just bowl him out. It's not like you defending 250.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

4 on Hasan.

 

[Sachin136]

Harsh.

What did Babar Azam do wrong today? Second highest scorer for us and that too at a decent strike rate.

113 is not a decent strike rate in T20s.

 

[Markhor]

Tanvir continuing to steal a living.

 

[Square Drive]

How about Babar Azam doesn't chew up 40 balls to score 40 odd runs.

We need one man to anchor the innings and others to accelerate around him.

Babar is our anchor and should open. Are you seriously gonna complain about his 43 (38) where others scored 2 (8), 21 (21), etc?

 

[Ellipsism]

No offence but Hasan Ali looks like Ajit Agarkar to me. Expensive but takes wickets also.

T20 cricket isn't his forté.

 

[Syed1]

Harsh.

What did Babar Azam do wrong today? Second highest scorer for us and that too at a decent strike rate.

That's not decent strike rate. Taking 38 balls to score 43 runs is not good by any stretch of the imagination specially when you had almost all of the powerplay at your disposal

 

[t_kaay]

No point keeping shadab till the death overs. Will only need a run a ball then. Need wickets for pressure

 

[Sadevdesai]

This is not looking good.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Let's see if Sarfraz can win this from here. Looks in the bag for Windies.

 

[uberkoen]

113 is not a decent strike rate in T20s.

Did better than everyone else though (except Kami of course)

 

[Citizen4]

too expensive Hasan, Tanvir is stupid as well, would have liked to see Rumman/Shinwari today

 

[daytrader]

That's not decent strike rate. Taking 38 balls to score 43 runs is not good by any stretch of the imagination specially when you had almost all of the powerplay at your disposal

Without him we would've folded in 16 overs for about a 100

 

[Syed1]

We need one man to anchor the innings and others to accelerate around him.

Babar is our anchor and should open. Are you seriously gonna complain about his 43 (38) where others scored 2 (8), 21 (21), etc?

That's unfortunately exactly what Misbah fans used to say.


Babar came in before those batsmen and had the powerplay at his disposal yet still scored at close to a 100 SR.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

9 of the over.

 

[Citizen4]

Shadab is back

 

[Syed1]

Did better than everyone else though (except Kami of course)

Maybe the others would have done better if Babar Azam hadn't wasted that many deliveries.

 

[Ellipsism]

Let Shadab just bowl.

Too much expectation on the guy.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a knock from Lewis!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

6 on Shadab.

 

[Syed1]

Lewis showing Azam how to play in T20s

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Maybe the others would have done better if Babar Azam hadn't wasted that many deliveries.

Lmao great logic. So Fakhar she run a ball 20 near the end was because of Babar!

 

[Ellipsism]

Good learning curve for Shadab

 

[Watsupdoc]

Windies have won this. Easy peasy

 

[t_kaay]

Well played by Lewis, won it for Windies today

 

[Arsalan Pro]

another 6.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Harsh.

What did Babar Azam do wrong today? Second highest scorer for us and that too at a decent strike rate.

Someone has to be the scapegoat. Even if he's our best batsman. We are Pakistani fans after all

 

[Syed1]

Lmao great logic. So Fakhar she run a ball 20 near the end was because of Babar!

Did I mention Fakhar.


Improve your arguments

 

[Ellipsism]

This is very poor bowling.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can't wait for PP'ers to say Shadab's been found out just like they're after Imad.

 

[Barragan]

Lewis hits another six against Shadab

Shadab has been poor today and Pak are in trouble

 

[Syed1]

Someone has to be the scapegoat. Even if he's our best batsman. We are Pakistani fans after all

Yeah best batsman is above criticism right?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shadab doesn't look like taking a wocket today. Needs to bowl Wahab here.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Shadab getting smacked?! Am I dreaming ?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Not bowling his wrong 'uns today for some reason.

 

[Syed1]

Lewis >>> Azam

 

[Ellipsism]

Can't wait for PP'ers to say Shadab's been found out just like they're after Imad.

Shadab isn't going to disappear because he has the capability to spin the ball.

Imad is just a bland darter.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

fake shadab found out! mediocre at best and will be dropped soon

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

too much pressure to take wickets took toll on shadab

 

[Ellipsism]

Reverse from Wahab

 

[ExpressPacer]

Great yorkers.

 

[Syed1]

Even Warne got smacked around at times. Good learning curve for Shadab.

 

[IAJ]

Someone has to be the scapegoat. Even if he's our best batsman. We are Pakistani fans after all

So, do you understand why Lewis made ton against India?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

T20 cricket isn't his forté.

Yes. Even Dale Steyn has struggled in this format.

 

[Ellipsism]

fake shadab found out! mediocre at best and will be dropped soon

Can spinners be found out?

He's bowled poorly that's it...

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

lewis showig pak how to bat in t20.

 

[uberkoen]

Can't wait for PP'ers to say Shadab's been found out just like they're after Imad.

fake shadab found out! mediocre at best and will be dropped soon

That didn't take long.

 

[Belawal2014]

loool everyone is losing it today on PP. Chill guys, the Windies have come to play as well.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Wahab Riaz back on the attack.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shadab isn't going to disappear because he has the capability to spin the ball.

Imad is just a bland darter.

Imad bowled his first two overs for just 3 runs. Relax. He's been successful everywhere he's bowled. We were lucky to get Lewis run out in the first two matches because trust me, he's a darn good player.

 

[Ellipsism]

Yes. Even Dale Steyn has struggled in this format.

Dale Steyn didn't have the variations to succeed in LOI cricket.

I feel at times Hasan tries too much at the expense of his accuracy.

 

[Syed1]

Goes to show we were just riding on the back of Shadab. One bad game and we look listless.

 

[Square Drive]

That's unfortunately exactly what Misbah fans used to say.


Babar came in before those batsmen and had the powerplay at his disposal yet still scored at close to a 100 SR.

Misbah did his rubbish in the middle-order, which is criminal.

An opener batting at an SR of around 115 in T20Is is fine as long as everyone around him can give it a whack.

 

[Barragan]

Ball is reversing

Riaz can exploit the reverse, but know about Hassan and tanvir

Could have done with Sohail

Good with the new and old ball

Fitness wouldn't have been a problem in T20's either

 

[Syed1]

Wahab is angry. Windies better watch out.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

good over.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

lol kami

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tanvir is having a bad bad day )

 

[ExpressPacer]

What an over.

 

[Square Drive]

What the hell is happening?

 

[Ellipsism]

Imad bowled his first two overs for just 3 runs. Relax. He's been successful everywhere he's bowled. We were lucky to get Lewis run out in the first two matches because trust me, he's a darn good player.

Failed in PSL.

Failed in NZ.

Failed in AU.

The only good series he had was against England and that too with the bat.

 

[Syed1]

Misbah did his rubbish in the middle-order, which is criminal.

An opener batting at an SR of around 115 in T20Is is fine as long as everyone around him can give it a whack.

Nope. SR of 115 is unacceptable for any batsman in T20s.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Kamran and Tanvir should be appointed bowling coaches at junior level, so they can teach them how to not field.

 

[Ellipsism]

Quality from Wahab

 

[Arsalan Pro]

can Pakistan pull of a impossible victory?

 

[Syed1]

Kami with beautiful fielding. Superstar

 

[Square Drive]

Hasan should be opening the bowling but instead he's bowling in the middle overs.

Tanvir should be smashing his head against the wall but instead he's playing for Pakistan.

Fakhar should be opening but instead he's batting at #6.

Babar should be opening but instead he's batting at #3.

 

[Ellipsism]

can Pakistan pull of a impossible victory?

No

 

[Belawal2014]

Misbah did his rubbish in the middle-order, which is criminal.

An opener batting at an SR of around 115 in T20Is is fine as long as everyone around him can give it a whack.

Only fault I see in Azam's batting is the inability to up the ante when he gets set.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Just bowl Shadab

 

[Zak_Fan]

[MENTION=143127]Citizen4[/MENTION] .. still backing a 4-0?

 

[Pete Rose]

If I may add to my forecasts since I am in a roll today. Wahab will have a respectful spell today which will still not prevent a loss and he will come back for the 4th t20 going at 8-10 an over
