West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Roseau, Dominica | May 10-14, 2017 | Day 4

[Arham_PakFan]

Poor shot,straight into the hands of the fielder.This is what happens when he starts to accelerate from the go.

 

[Shafi]

Azhar can't score fast. That's why he should not be in ODI

 

[imshally81]

And here we go....

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Also how does the weather look

Weather looks Ok.Missed the Windies innings so can't say much about the bowling.

 

[Adil_94]

id promote Sarfi to 4 and have him n Babar tee off like its an ODI and get us a quick 70-80 runs.

 

[Adil_94]

Shan Masood is the epitome of mediocre when will this sifarishi be booted out for Good. Must be good to have Papa on the board.

 

[New Yorker]

This is a great myth that there aren't better bowlers than Rahat (who can swing) and Wahab (who can bowl fast) in domestics. Waqar Younis and management persisted with Rahat and gave him undue favor.

Everyone is entitled to be uncertain about a player that has not yet been tested. No one is entitled to claim certainty until that player has been tested. And anyone who believes that one can build a team without taking risks is delusional.

 

[On_the_up]

The worst thing that could happen is to loose 2-3 quick wkts and limp along at 2.5 RPO for 50 odd overs.

 

[Shafi]

WI might win the series. We will not score 100 runs.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Missed the whole day

So how was it

West Indies batted like duds? Or was Abbas really good?

Also why not much impact from spinner? The way pitch was on first day it should have been a mine filed by now

Abbas was good.
Abbas cleaned them up early so not much time for spinner.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The wrist slitters are out already.Have some faith boys.

 

[imshally81]

Shan is walking wicket.. Sami on him anyday..

 

[darksher]

The moment AA shows some intent, he gets out, more reason to believe scoring at a faster rate isn't his cup of tea, in other words he isn't equipped to do that, he'll always be a limited one dimensional player not capable to take his game to the next level.

 

[Big Mac]

The worst thing that could happen is to loose 2-3 quick wkts and limp along at 2.5 RPO for 50 odd overs.

Yup, it's why I'd rather we play 'safe' now and then accelerate rather than try and score quickly from the start because those wickets will cause us to go into a shell.

But Genius Inzi sees other way

 

[Hasan123]

Shan Masood just isn't good enough. He may score in this innings but I think we have seen enough to know he won't last at this level.

 

[On_the_up]

Yup, it's why I'd rather we play 'safe' now and then accelerate rather than try and score quickly from the start because those wickets will cause us to go into a shell.

Yes, but if safe is @ 2RPO, we would have wasted 25 overs setting a base. Need some urgency at least, rotate the strike, put the bad ball away, nothing reckless.

 

[Big Mac]

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] Your boy is happy now that he's got some food and knows that he'll finally get his wish of seeing Misbah bat

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Dad's Dream should just give himself out

he makes Farhat look good

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sensational batting by Golden Boy and Dads dream.

 

[darksher]

As predicted pathetic start to the second innings, going at snail's pace when we should be aiming to get our lead to 300 by tea followed by a declaration and leaving enough to take 10 WI wickets, but the way things are going its highly improbable.

 

[imshally81]

Almost 1 rpo...

 

[Arham_PakFan]

7 runs off 6 overs when we should be going at around 3RPO minimum[

 

[Big Mac]

Yes, but if safe is @ 2RPO, we would have wasted 25 overs setting a base. Need some urgency at least, rotate the strike, put the bad ball away, nothing reckless.

Let's say we bat 50 overs today, go at 2 RPO for the first 20 overs and bat at 4 RPO for the other 30. That's a 300 run lead.

There's no need to start wrist-slitting just yet.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Golden Boy gone..Rambo can't believe his favorite is gone.

 

[Abdul]

The chosen one )

 

[Big Mac]

Oh dear Babar

 

[fasihulhaq94]

yes and maybe in the last 10 overs we could start going at 8 an over

 

[IMMY69]

Not out
Bounced into the hands

 

[imshally81]

Yes... Not out...

 

[Markhor]

This is a great myth that there aren't better bowlers than Rahat (who can swing) and Wahab (who can bowl fast) in domestics. Waqar Younis and management persisted with Rahat and gave him undue favor.

Another reason why I'm very critical of the Waqar era. He persisted with his underperforming golden boys in Rahat and Wahab for too long.

 

[darksher]

But Genius Inzi sees other way

Inzi always say the right things infront of the cameras to appease the audience but when its time to act, ironically he usually does the opposite.

 

[IMMY69]

No way that ball didn't bounce first

 

[Shafi]

Repeat of the 2nd test. 70-80 runs are not good enough

 

[IMMY69]

That is not out

 

[darksher]

Clear rebound off the surface, not out.

 

[Red Devil]

Clearly not out.

 

[IMMY69]

You can see the ball bounce on the ground

 

[pak4life]

What a joke decision.

 

[imshally81]

What a worst decision...

 

[Red Devil]

Lol what the hell?

 

[IMMY69]

That is an atrocious decision.

Blatantly not out

 

[Big Mac]

Make your own minds up

yes and maybe in the last 10 overs we could start going at 8 an over

If you think this team can't bat at 4 RPO to set up a declaration then I don't know what to tell you

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Third duck in four innings for Golden boy.What a horrible tour.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

 

[darksher]

WTH??? That's the most stupid stupid decision I've seen in a while, there was a clear rebound off the surface.

 

[IMMY69]

I'm sorry but that is either incompetence of the highest order or just cheating

 

[Abdul]

3/4 ducks for the chosen one but but but only Shafiq should be dropped from the side.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tough decision but signal was out.

Babar continues his decline.

Might be a 220 chase here

 

[Junaids]

Harsh on Babar Azam, but improves Pakistan's chances of winning!

Why do I say that?

They need to bowl 10 overs tonight to guarantee 20 overs with the second new ball tomorrow. Misbah is too conservative to declare, so ideally Pakistan needs to be all out 170 just after Tea!

 

[imshally81]

Who's third umpire ?

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] Your boy is happy now that he's got some food and knows that he'll finally get his wish of seeing Misbah bat

) what an absolute legend credit to the camera man as well lmao

 

[shariqnoor]

It was inconclusive. Soft signal was out so it's a fair decision.

2 down already and Holder yet to bowl. We can't score against Holder at all.

 

[IMMY69]

Tough decision but signal was out.

Babar continues his decline.

Might be a 220 chase here

Soft decision or not that ball clearly bounced on the ground.

Clearly bounced..

 

[Shafi]

Unfortunately Babar is not test material. But PCB keeps same players for all formats

 

[IMMY69]

It was inconclusive. Soft signal was out so it's a fair decision.

2 down already and Holder yet to bowl. We can't score against Holder at all.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as you clearly were'nt watching it on Tv

 

[Abdullah719]

Make your own minds up

Doesn't look out to me. Fingers not under the ball when it seems to be touching the ground.

 

[Shafi]

Harsh on Babar Azam, but improves Pakistan's chances of winning!

Why do I say that?

They need to bowl 10 overs tonight to guarantee 20 overs with the second new ball tomorrow. Misbah is too conservative to declare, so ideally Pakistan needs to be all out 170 just after Tea!

Don't think we can score even 100.

 

[Ami]

That was gutless by the 3rd umpire...absloute no balls to do the right thing!!!

 

[On_the_up]

Pakistan making a pig's ear of what should be an easy situation.

129 run lead, and playing like duds.

 

[Big Mac]

Pakistan making a pig's ear of what should be an easy situation.

129 run lead, and playing like duds.

It wouldn't be right if Misbah didn't have to come out at 30/3 in his final match.

 

[Ami]

He might have got the fingers under it but that doesnt mean it didnt hit the ground!

 

[shoaib]

Clearly bounced... What is the point of 3rd umpire if they get it so badly wrong

 

[darksher]

3/4 ducks for the chosen one but but but only Shafiq should be dropped from the side.

I don't rate Babar highly in Tests but regardless he's a newbie, finding his feet at this level, so we should give him some leeway for the time being while Shafiq is an established batsman in the side and you expect better from him after having played so many games.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That's out. Fingers clearly under the ball.

 

[shoaib]

And how can on field umpire be so sure and give it out in the first case

 

[Markhor]

I'm sorry but that is either incompetence of the highest order or just cheating

Wouldn't be a West Indies tour without some controversial decisions.

 

[Sherlock]

Thing is the umpire gave it out [soft decision]. The following replays were all inconclusive, hence the original decision by the umpire stands because there wasn't conclusive evidence otherwise.

Simples.

 

[Kianig89]

Messing things here why not send Yasir to up the ante #30 quick runs

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

3/4 ducks for the chosen one but but but only Shafiq should be dropped from the side.

2 fifties in 3 tests. You're over reacting.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

3/4 ducks for the chosen one but but but only Shafiq should be dropped from the side.

The Chosen One has scored 72 and 55. What's Shafiq scored?

 

[Runner Up]

Only Sir Fraz can save us now

 

[IMMY69]

That's out. Fingers clearly under the ball.

My advice. book yourself an appointment with spec savers.

 

[Big Mac]

At least LOTR is on Sky so I don't have to worry about cricket

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

That clearly bounced on the floor before it went into his hands. Wonder what happened to the 3rd Umpire.

 

[Cricket World]

Fingers under the BALL or not but the BALL clearly touched the ground with movement on the surface. Clear not out. Poor decision.

 

[IMMY69]

Thing is the umpire gave it out [soft decision]. The following replays were all inconclusive, hence the original decision by the umpire stands because there wasn't conclusive evidence otherwise.

Simples.

That ball clearly bounced.

My god are people watching something else here?!?!?!

 

[moghul]

It was inconclusive. Soft signal was out so it's a fair decision.

2 down already and Holder yet to bowl. We can't score against Holder at all.

What was inconceivable here ? there was a very very clear bounce. Very poor decision.

 

[Sherlock]

Yet again Pakistan cower in the face of some decent to good bowling.

Pathetic really.

They're barely going at 1 an over for goodness sakes

If they don't come out after Lunch and go for quick runs, we'll know the answer to where this Test is going.
