What's new

West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Roseau, Dominica | May 10-14, 2017 | Day 5

Out of all the bowlers it's Abbas who I thought would hardly bowl a no ball.. blimey
 
Batting quicker on the first session of day 2 would not have given the bowlers more time to take 10 wickets.
 
Abbas is too slow for Test match cricket. He will trundle and give us hope and fail. He doesn't even have the right fitness.
 
Against Joseph I would use Yasir. Playing pace is relatively easier for tailenders compared to spinners.
 
The crowd cheering that forward defensive, this is why test cricket is the best :))

Another partnership of 30 mins and 5 overs . . unreal really . .
 
Nah, it's hilarious.

CRICKET IS AMAZING.

For other series I can take it, but when you have never won at the oppo's home and will never have a better chance, (after already messed up in the previous test) I can't see the amusement.
 
Joseph not getting that front-foot out. Should get bowled/LBW soon.
 
Amir should bowl at pace. Just let it all out! You'll be fine by the time for the CT. Go full throttle sport!
 
Drinks....1 hour. I'd favour the windies if we keep bowling with 2 slips to the tailenders as if they are Brian Lara lol

One hour to get two wickets with one bunny at the crease and another in the hutch...

Mate just relax and take it all in.

We should feel blessed that we get to see YK and Misbah on the field for s but longer..
 
Hasan should bowl

He was making regular chances
 
Joseph looks like he will be out sooner than later. if give 2 or 3 overs of pace then bring on Yasir against him.

I thought I cared but watching all of today's play I realised I couldn't give a damn. I'm just happy to see Younis laughing and Misbah stroking his beard impassively one last time. I'm soaking all of this in and it's BRILLIANT

How can you not love this, this is sport at its finest.

:salute
 
Drinks break is better for Pakistan at this stage. Post-drinks often yields a wicket.
 
Should I perform Isha prayer now are wait till we win the match IA?
 
Abbas has to bowl tighter.
I keep saying this but he's wasting deliveries
 
On a serious note, whether Pakistan wins or not, this has been a great Test match. A perfect summary of Misbah ul Haq's career that aptly describes his fate and fortunes. Having said that, I'm delighted the West Indies have finally stepped out of their long, long rebuilding phase. Hope they carry this form forward.
 
No room for error here. Bowlers fuelled by adrenaline now at the end of a long tour.

Need to keep the tailenders for as long as possible. Hoping that no-ball hasn't demoralised us.
 
Don't think we will see Pakistan back in the top 4 anytime soon.
 
Chase back-foot punch through the covers reminds me of Root.
