Pakistan won the toss and opted to field first.

 

[Jabo]

I expected a draw before the series, batting as expected is still awful.

 

[Pete Rose]

It will help Pakistan in medium term if they lose match, while playing with Akmal, Malik, and hafeez and shehzad in the line up.

 

[Sadevdesai]

V R Chasing !!!!! Good !!!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Too many TTFs
Aka Perpetuity

 

[saeed5646]

only one change rumman raees in for sohail tanvir

 

[Syed1]

It will help Pakistan in medium term if they lose match, while playing with Akmal, Malik, and hafeez and shehzad in the line up.

We keep hoping that but these same names keep coming back every couple of years.


The fans are to be blamed too, they want new players dropped after a couple of games but these nonperforming oldies can go on years with nothing to show for it.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

So Usman is selected for T20's and don't get a single game..

 

[Watsupdoc]

Fakhar needs to bat higher up the order - otherwise there is no point in playing him.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Need to win this game

 

[Watsupdoc]

West Indies look in the mood today.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[uberkoen]

Can't believe we are still playing Imad Wasim

 

[uberkoen]

Good to see Raees in over Sohail. Would have also preferred for Shehzad to be dropped.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Wi off to a great start: 8-0

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lewis looking for another big one here

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[uberkoen]

Hassan and Imad are the epitome of mediocre players who might give you a decent performance every now and then but will never really amount to anything substantial and more often than not will not contribute towards a victory

 

[Ellipsism]

147 km/h

 

[Brilliance]

OMG ! Hassan bowls a 147 kph thunderbolt.

 

[ExplicitAI]

this ground is tiny, looked out

 

[Rayyman]

Boundaries are small as hell.

 

[ExplicitAI]

C'mon Sarfraz I know you're better than this

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Sarfaraz saying" only big shots coming lads, only big shots coming lads"

Then the better hits 6 and 4.

Why encourage them Sarfaraz ***.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Thank God

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Out wicket... Wicket...

Lewis the danger man gone.

 

[Shafi]

Unless Kamran hack fire we will loose this match

 

[uberkoen]

Imad conceding too many runs per wicket. Needs to get his act together.

 

[uberkoen]

haha Sarfraz and Imad.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Imad conceding too many runs per wicket. Needs to get his act together.

That was a big wicket of Lewis.

He got lucky, but credits goes to him.

 

[uberkoen]

That was a big wicket of Lewis.

He got lucky, but credits goes to him.

Big wicket indeed but he conceded too many runs. Needs to keep it tight at least if he isn't getting the wickets.

 

[Rayyman]

That was a big wicket of Lewis.

He got lucky, but credits goes to him.

That's what spinners do. Batsman think they're easy, but they get out being over-aggressive.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wow what a good over so far

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Ruman got away with NB

 

[Rayyman]

Maiden by Rumman Raees

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rumman already doing better than Tanvir. Can't understand why he wasn't playing ahead of Sobers.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Maiden over, fantastic! Have a feeling we're gonna win today

 

[PennOne]

A 120-130 mph left hand trundler again ? What is going on with Pakistani talent

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Great Start by Ruman Raees

 

[uberkoen]

What a brilliant over.

 

[Ellipsism]

I don't see a career for Rumman outside T20 cricket; doesn't look threatening and no movement either.

 

[uberkoen]

I love the energy Sarfraz brings with him as a captain.

 

[Ellipsism]

A 120-130 mph left hand trundler again ? What is going on with Pakistani talent

T20 specialist.

 

[pacesensation]

Rumman already doing better than Tanvir. Can't understand why he wasn't playing ahead of Sobers.

i guess the tactician sarfaraz knew that what happened yesterday to sohail tanvir was on the cards so he kept playing him so that the day he gets brutally tonked he will drop him for good such that no one will complain

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sarfraz should've bowled Hasan here. Wahab has been really good and should've been brought on later.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistanis usually need phainti to realize things which is why it took 3 games to get Rumman in.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Runs have stopped leaking all of a sudden which is good

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz should've bowled Hasan here. Wahab has been really good and should've been brought on later.

Hasan hurt his hand a little bit.

 

[ExpressPacer]

A 120-130 mph left hand trundler again ? What is going on with Pakistani talent

We have plenty of pacy guys. Wahab, Amir and now with the emergence of Hasan. Need guys who can swing it.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Malik of all people!

 

[Watsupdoc]

I would expect Malik to take that in his dreams

 

[ExpressPacer]

Runs have stopped leaking all of a sudden which is good

Jinxed.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Dropped

 

[Ellipsism]

Mian...

 

[ExplicitAI]

How was the ball after Malik dropped not been taken either?! Fielding is terrible

 

[uberkoen]

Malik, of all the people. Shocking

 

[super hitter]

I hope Pakistan drops all of them, and we chase a 160ish total

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Whenever i watch pak-Wi match, WI does bad

 

[msb314]

Hows the pitch holding up so far - slow or a true one?

 

[Rayyman]

Statue spanked for a six

 

[ExplicitAI]

Too many

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Rumman welcome to International cricket.

 

[Ellipsism]

Get this mediocre trundler off my screen

 

[msb314]

What is a good score on this pitch?

 

[ExplicitAI]

Fielding positions are good so far, I'm impressed

 

[Ellipsism]

Wasting the new ball.

Already 80% of his deliveries have been slower balls.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What is a good score on this pitch?

Anything over 125 for Pakistan. We are pathetic in all phases while batting.

 

[Ellipsism]

What is a good score on this pitch?

150-160.

The pitch is flat and good for batting.

 

[Pakpak]

Get this mediocre trundler off my screen

2 overs 7 runs.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Shadab will defo pick up a wicket today

 

[ExpressPacer]

Pathetic captaincy. Why bring Shady on so early?

 

[Watsupdoc]

When in doubt hit them out )

 

[imranraf]

A true pitch. Seems like a 160 plus pitch. I won't be surprised if West Indies bat us out of this game. Walton seems to be playing well today. Boundries seem smaller as well or the West Indian batsmen are just good at hitting sixes. West Indies have already hit more sixes than our batsmen hit in 20 overs. We badly need some hard hitting players in our LOI squad. Seriously lacking an Afridi or Razzaq in our batting lineup.

 

[Rayyman]

Shady gets spanked by Walton

 

[Ellipsism]

2 overs 7 runs.

Largely due to the fact that he's bowling a good line and length.

My issue that he doesn't look like taking wicket- just brainlessly bowling a leg cutter one ball and an offer cutter the next.

 

[uberkoen]

Shadab will defo pick up a wicket today

When has he not?

 

[ExplicitAI]

We have no excuse to not hit this many in the 2nd innings

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pathetic captaincy. Why bring Shady on so early?

Shadab has bowled the 7th over in every match.

 

[Barragan]

Six

Walton hitting Shadab

 

[Pakpak]

Largely due to the fact that he's bowling a good line and length.

My issue that he doesn't look like taking wicket- just brainlessly bowling a leg cutter one ball and an offer cutter the next.

12 balls, 10 dots so he's been okay. But I can't see him in Tests or ODIs.
