[MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] - Misbah may want to bowl an over or two of off-spin.

If he can bowl out ATGs like Imran Farhat and Taufiq Umar then Chase and Holder have no chance !

He will bring himself on in the final over of the game and take 4 wickets in 4 balls prompting a pitch invasion as the Dominican crowd raises him and Younis onto their shoulders and carry them off the field as heroes.
 
Tea came at a good time for us.
Now w can re-group and Yasir can bowl unchanged for 30 overs
 
They have batted 15 overs already . . and scored 50 . . Pakistan under pressure . .
For me, changing too much . . They need to calm down . .

Yasir needs to bowl over the wicket . . he is taking a few modes of dismissal out by bowling around the wicket . .
Misbah needs to go all out attack . . don't agree with fielders back . .

Pakistan has only bowled 53 overs today which again is absolutely poor! They have 21 overs to the new ball . . but if these 2 are still batting then, I think we can call the game a draw at that stage anyway . .
 
Good fight shown by West Indies. Pakistan are going to have to work to get the last 4 wickets .

They will give them their choice of Caribbean island to rule over, Misbah as the benevolent king with Younis by his side as his most trusted advisor and enforcer and under their reign Caribbean cricket will rise to glory once more.
 
Only ourselves to blame if WI manage to survive due to us running out of overs. It remains a long shot for them nonetheless.
 
You don't need a sleeping pill when you're listening to Bazid Khan's boring commentary, induces the sleep effect almost immediately, shame on whoever allowed him into combox without accessing his skill-set and caliber as cricket pundit. He and Ramiz have tainted the voice of Pakistan and no where near their WI counterparts, infact they'd clearly be embarrassed for sharing com-box with these two.

You can't disregard the possibility of a WI win at this stage, they're batting with intent and authority, and our bowlers have no answers for the onslaught for the time being, more nervous times ahead post tea.
 
Hasan Ali drops a relatively simple caught and bowled chance, so far as any return catch can ever be easy

If they bat out the remaining overs with positive intent like they've done in recent overs, then even a win is possible but ofcourse they'll have to play out of their skin for an extended period of time to achieve that, however nothing is impossible in cricket.

You what? Bazid might be the best Asian commie going around, he knows what he's talking and has a really good knowledge of the Pakistani domestic scene.

He's terrific.

They need to go at 4 RPO to win, it's not happening.
 
Yasir reallyyyy needs to stop bowling around the wicket!! What is trying to do? Just one mode dismissal?! Leading edge?! .. Come on man!!
 
This is such enthralling cricket!!

Plus Rambo is no commentating at the moment so even better 😜
 
Azhar Ali the match-winner - get him to bowl!

That's plumb if he hasn't edged it, looked like a full toss on middle

Although wicket came a bit early...
We may struggle to get into the last half hour now

How's he the best Asian commie going around? Good knowledge isn't the benchmark of calling someone a best commie, there are many commies who tick that box. there are many other aspects one has to fulfill to become a quality commentator. A commie has to possess the flair, verbal fluency coupled with knowledge of the game, situational awareness and an ability to excite the audience with oral narration of unfolding action in real time, and Bazid Khan is lazy and poor on all fronts.

Thought about taking a few names off my ignore list so I can enjoy the schadenfreude to the full but nah, I will just enjoy this with the folks who are genuine fans :yk
 
Why are you running Roston ? Keep the strike, don't expose the tail.

Poor on all fronts? He doesn't have knowledge of the game? He doesn't have situational awareness? Nonsense.

A TV commentator's job isn't to narrate the action, we can see what is happening with our own eyes. Their job is to provide context and information in addition to the TV pictures.

If you want narration, go listen to it on the radio.
