Babar and Rizwan to score 3 back to back centuries this tour .

@heddie19 We know you want this.

Atleast they should score 1 hundred...

I checked West indies bowling. It isnt as bad as people are making it out to be. They have 2 150KPH bowlers and babar has struggled against express pace in recent times.

Rizwan hasn't struggled in test and odi and to his credit he has proven me wrong over the years countless times since he is a terrific test batter and an okay odi bat.

But he isn't a conversion freak. 50-70 is his max limit. The 100's he scored were all against extremely crap bowling on extremely easy pitches of which Abdullah and Agha also scored centuries. Agha is a good player but Abdullah isnt for obvious reasons.

Babar can possibly get their though.

Sending in Nawaz at 6 is a recipe for him to fail.

He’s your spin killer

He bats at 4.

His time will come. Right now I'm happy he's in the XI.

Saim
Abdullah
Babar
Salman
Hassan
riz

Should be the order

I see the first odi match is at 11pm pst. Kiwis t20 matches were at 6am(worst of all, even a sunday match).seems now a days either pak fans are not watching or pak market is too bad that host boards are least bothered about pak fans.

Think they just wanted one of the matches to be a D/N match. Other two games are at 6pm (Pakistan time)

If u consider from 6pm , even for one match its potential 60 -65 overs worth of ads.It should be a reasonable amount to loose. As pak fans will watch more than wi, its quite a bizarre plan from wi admin point of view.

I may be wrong but matches in the West Indies have always gone long into the night here, even in the past.

Annoying

Even in Aus, first match starts at 4am.i dont think its suitable time for anyone apart from wi.

Pakistan are clear favorites to win all 3 games. Rain predicted over the next 3 days. Will definitely see a start stop game in all games.

Well, this is pathetic if it happens... Rain affected games are annoying.

When you schedule games in the rainy season this is what happens. June -November is the rainy season. We are in the peak rainy period. Hoping for the best. Will be very lucky if we get any uninterupted games.

STAY ON TOPIC NOW..

DON'T BRING RELIGION IN A MATCH THREAD

Yeah but the day hands would have started around 7 pm PST .

With even the Windies playing more D/N games now, it would start at 11 pm and get over at around 7 am.

What’s the weather saying? Don’t tell me it’s a washout!

OK so 2 day matches and 1 D/N match. That's fair enough.

Rain forcasted for the next 3 days, most likely the first will be washed out.
