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

[Arsalan Pro]

Bishoo returns.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Lead 237 so far , 29 overs left in the day

Don't think we have enough time for 29 overs.

 

[Syed1]

How we holding lads lmao

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Windies fighting admirably.

 

[Rayyman]

How we holding lads lmao

Don't care about Tests, we already got #1 ranking let WI win some games too.

 

[msb314]

Why are we batting so slowly

Should have scored 150-175 by now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good batting but now just push on

 

[msb314]

Should have a lead of atleast 275 by the end of the day.

 

[Mamoon]

Yasir batting way too quickly. He should have been on 3.

 

[msb314]

Yasir batting way too quickly. He should have been on 3.

No Amir is batting way too quickly at a fantastic SR of 10.81

 

[PennOne]

Why are we batting so slowly

Should have scored 150-175 by now.

Misbah influence

 

[Buffet]

WI is already out of this game. Not sure why some PPers are not seeing it.

 

[Friend786]

will one day be enough to get west indies out?

 

[Justcrazy]

Roston Chase is on now.

 

[PennOne]

Embarassing

 

[Rayyman]

I have a feeling Hetmyer will go off [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION]

 

[msb314]

Misbah influence

Misbah or no Misbah - nothing is holding back Amir and Yasir from ticking the scoreboard along.

 

[Friend786]

i think they should hit now and get 5-10 overs to bowl at windies.

 

[Buffet]

will one day be enough to get west indies out?

Surely, WI is not going to last full day on this pitch.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I have a feeling Hetmyer will go off [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION]

Hopefully.

 

[msb314]

WI is already out of this game. Not sure why some PPers are not seeing it.

We are not out of woods yet - ideally the lead should be over 300 but 275 should be sufficient.

Yasir and Amir should stop clowning around and start rotating the strike.

 

[IAJ]

shot Amir

 

[IAJ]

Hopefully.

lols, he will be lucky if he lasts more than 10 balls here.

 

[Big Mac]

Surely, WI is not going to last full day on this pitch.

If Windies plays shots, they won't last a day. If they are happy to tuk tuk, it will be hard to get them out.

The pitch has nothing for bowlers, nothing for batsmen. With the turn and bounce Chase was getting on the morning of day one I thought we were in for a game where the pitch deteriorated a lot but it hasn't happened. There has been a couple of cutters that got some extra bounce yesterday but that was about it.

 

[Rayyman]

lols, he will be lucky if he lasts more than 10 balls here.

The only WI can win is if he can get them to a good start

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batters have been steady so far

 

[TalhaSyed]

Most of the runs in UAE, and for last 3-4 years, one good test inning after 9 failure on average. Insisted on playing last WC and what he did, less we talk is better. Still wish him health and happiness in life .

Ungrateful fans like you don't deserve great players like Younis
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] - what we got here?

 

[Friend786]

another 25-30 runs should be enough.

 

[Rayyman]

Ungrateful fans like you don't deserve great players like Younis

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] - what we got here?

I agree with his statement but he should've at least acknowledged YK's greatness.

 

[Markhor]

Why are we batting so slowly

Should have scored 150-175 by now.

Pitch is not easy for strokeplay. Now you see why WI batsmen in FC cricket end up with such low averages.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Would have helped to have a decent finger spinner to support Yasir. Same as in the last test match really.

Yup Yasir will be crucial in the final innings & in the absence of a supporting spinner, we need the pace bowlers to bowl a tight & consistent line without giving away any loose deliveries.

To be honest - since we don't have Wahab - I think our three pacers should be able to keep things tight In-Shaa-Allah, and allow yasir to pick up wickets at the other end

 

[Buffet]

If Windies plays shots, they won't last a day. If they are happy to tuk tuk, it will be hard to get them out.

OK, I saw just a little bit and didn't realize that pitch is still decent. Well, WI is not chasing 250 for here. Just the pressure of chasing 250 will be enough despite pitch being not so bad.

 

[IMMY69]

No ball. Not out

 

[jattafridi]

well played yasir

 

[IAJ]

lol no ball

 

[QalandarFan]

No ball!

 

[Friend786]

Lead exactly 250 now

 

[IAJ]

how can a spinner bowl so many no balls, amazing

 

[QalandarFan]

250 Lead now.

 

[Big Mac]

What a way to bring up the 250

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir shah survives

 

[Big Mac]

Umpire giving it to Bishoo

 

[Friend786]

now no point sticking around , need some quick runs

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir is A very very good tailender.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Shaaba Amir.

Need 44 more runs.

 

[IMMY69]

Windies doing some hanky Pankie

 

[Justcrazy]

Amir also escapes

 

[Rayyman]

33 needed for a maiden fifty

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Inconclusive.

Not Out

 

[QalandarFan]

WI looking desperate now.

 

[Big Mac]

Amir is the real classy left hander

 

[IMMY69]

Inconclusive.

Not Out

Daylight between bat and ball

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Windies doing some hanky Pankie

We need to frustrate them as a team.

 

[IMMY69]

Yasir opening up

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Daylight between bat and ball

Yes when they magnified it

 

[IAJ]

yasir

 

[jattafridi]

 

[IMMY69]

We need to frustrate them as a team.

True!!

I think Windies already feeling it

 

[QalandarFan]

from yasir and then lofts it for two.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Shaaba shaaba. 36 to go.

 

[IMMY69]

Now Amir opening up too

 

[IAJ]

Hope it's a matter of extraordinary batting and not pitch getting easier to bat on

 

[IAJ]

Aamir

 

[Friend786]

Yeh Cheez aur maaro

 

[QalandarFan]

Man these two need to be given a promotion!

 

[IMMY69]

Hope it's a matter of extraordinary batting and not pitch getting easier to bat on

Pitch won't suddenly change.

Pacers more difficult to get away. Even Yasir leaked more runs in the first innings then any of the seamers

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

True!!

I think Windies already feeling it

Yes it all started with no ball followed by amir's drop.

We need 300.


I am sure Amir has been fired up by windies with some sledging so hopefully he will up his pace.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hope it's a matter of extraordinary batting and not pitch getting easier to bat on

Final day pressure will be huge. Windies aren't going to win from here, we should be able to crowd the bat and really turn the screws tomorrow.

 

[QalandarFan]

This is the kind of intent the batsman should've came out with in the start of the second innings.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Brilliant

 

[Big Mac]

Pour it on boys, pour it on!

 

[Justcrazy]

runs partnership

 

[IMMY69]

Yes it all started with no ball followed by amir's drop.

We need 300.


I am sure Amir has been fired up by windies with some sledging so hopefully he will up his pace.

We might just get there

 

[sl-fan-of-pak]

Amir is the real classy left hander

Kumar Amir'kara

 

[QalandarFan]

It's so funny our tailenders especially Yasir and Amir always score for us when we need some runs.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Amir and Yasir have out-batted Shafiq in this series

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan lead 275 runs

WI cant win

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

We've found our new openers ladies and gentlemen.

 

[IMMY69]

I think they know we've got enough so now just going for it to see if they can get some quick runs

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ball is coming on better now
