I am sure we are not going for a Win thats why they had benched Gul.
 
they are too scared too lose. only one wicket taker in form of ajmal.

The weather prediction is "Mostly Cloudy". Refresh my memory, how our batsmen usually fare in cloudy conditions?
 
Winning the toss was important. Now we need a big score on the board. 400 minimum and Windies will crack under scoreboard pressure.

Gul looked average in the first test so fair decision.

Taufeeq and Hafeez need to do some work today.
 
Pakistan wants draw, WI wants draw then why even are they wasting time for playing?
 
So you judge the caliber of a player on one match, I thought you were better than Buffoon Butt.

lol, last post was a joke.

But i still think riaz is in much better form than gul. Look at the new zealand tour, wahab produced THAT magical spell that won us the series. Gul in the last match has looked really off colour and in fact since the england tour he has lacked rhythm and wicket taking ability just as in the 1st test. Failing to get one wicket with the new ball in both innings is just not good enough.
 
Pakistan are batting first for the first time in 8 Test Matches. Last time Pakistan batted first in a Test Match they were bowled out for under 100 at Edgbaston last year. Umar Gul has been dropped for Tanvir Ahmed otherwise it's an unchanged line up from the team which played in Guyana. Should post a target of 350+. Traditionally St Kitts has been a flat wicket.
 
i thought waqar was a fast bowler and like attacking bowlers.

dont worry we wont be out for 100 this time, we have got misbah who will atleast score a 50 in two days. hence no chance of a defeat.

Fron cricinfo:

The pitch is a flat one, says Jeffrey Dujon on Ten Sports. Apparently will get easier to bat on as the match progresses. The boundaries are short here, very short. So expect runs. Then again, these teams are short of experienced Test match batsmen, so there's hope it won't be a high-scoring draw.

Misbah says Gul was left out because of his form. "Good change for Pakistan. Tanvir would have contributed well in 1st test," says Iftekhar. "It is time for Gul to be limited to one day shows, keeping in view his test record."

Sammy says he would have batted as well. He says Chanderpaul woke up with a sore shoulder.
 
breaking news.

misbah has been appointed as batting coach

:facepalm: I think they are going to block like they did against England where they had 19 overs left of the day and were put in to bat and scored 19 :facepalm:
 
No swing no seam no anything. Bore draw coming up.
