West Indies vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Basseterre | 22/5/11 | Day 3 : Session 1

[AZ]

just about 30 mins till the start of proceedings.

HUGE day for both teams.

Pakistan need to wrap up the WI first innings as soon as possible and look to build a big lead.

WI need their tail to keep fighting and get as close as possible to 272.

so much time left in the game!

 

[MIG]

Need a much better performance from Pak batsmen - its a do or die effort here.

Loss to WI will be really sad.

 

[shaheer]

I think if Pakistan can pick up the tailin about 3 0r 4 overs and then make a score of about 280 300 then we would be in command of the test and i would see west indies fonding it hard to comback aginst our spinners

 

[Easa]

If we get a lead of 270+, the game is ours.

But we shouldn't be satisfied with that. Need to really hammer the West Indies and regain some self-belief.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

We need to quickly get the 2 wickets remaining then get about 260+lead then we shall win the game!!

 

[Hassan0987]

Take the last two wickets as soon as possible, post a good target and then InshAllah win

 

[MIG]

Ravi Rampaul is the man to watch for ... if WI get within 10-15 of our lead, then the tables could easily be turned on us

Taufeeq Umars career could be decided based upon how he plays in 2nd innings

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Rampaul really annoys me

 

[AZ]

Ajmal bowling too quickly.

 

[Hassan0987]

Nice maiden over from

 

[AZ]

Rehman from the other end.

 

[AZ]

Extra bounce, guided past slip for 2.

 

[Hassan0987]

2 runs from the over

 

[Hassan0987]

Perfectly bowled

 

[AZ]

Uffff what a doosra!

 

[Hassan0987]

Nice ball from Rehman

 

[AZ]

Beauty from Rehman.

 

[Hassan0987]

Again, good ball, not taken by Salman

 

[AZ]

Ahhh, drops in no-mans land

 

[Hassan0987]

Rehman is bowling nice here getting some spin

 

[AZ]

Roach goes fishing.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good ball, and again not taken by Salman

 

[Hassan0987]

Maiden from Rehman

 

[AZ]

Good over from

Maiden.

 

[james_bond]

Easy singles...

 

[AZ]

33 run partnership

 

[hur rizvi]

Defensive field setting here from misbah .... and both players are looking comfortable against spin time to try wahab or tanvir from one end

 

[hur rizvi]

Rampaul's defense looking flawless

 

[AZ]

Stop bowling one day style FFS!

 

[james_bond]

this misbah is really a defensive captain.

[hur rizvi]

Both of them are picking Ajmal's doosra now

 

[AZ]

LOL Ajmal bowling medium pace now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to get seamers back on and try and break this partnership here!

Games drifting here!

 

[Hassan0987]

Once again, missing the killer instinct. Defensive field settings, should look to attack more, and get these last two wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

rehmans lack of variation is there to see! a very average and defensive bowler!

 

[majiz]

I'm not sure there's a bowler in cricket lacking in variation as much as Rehman is.

 

[james_bond]

and bishoo still to come. iam afraid all hardowrk done by tano and saeed will be nullified.

[Hassan0987]

Bring back Tanvir Ahmed

 

[james_bond]

get the pacers and why tano has only 5 overs. poor and defensive captaincy

Ravi is a thorn in their side.

 

[ads101]

why are we using spin? Open with pace for goodness sake

Yardy.

 

[Hassan0987]

Tanvir Ahmed going to bowl now, please get a wicket now

 

[inzy_paratha]

Rehman is useful in against top order batsmen, to tie them down while someone else attacks from the other end. However against tailenders who are just looking to block him he doesnt really have enough variations to dismiss them quickly enough , as you should be with tailenders.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tanvir back on now, only bowled 5 overs?

should have bowled more then that!

 

[AZ]

nvir comes in!

 

[The Muppets XI]

At last, viewing is becoming seriously frustrating.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This is really poor stuff from pakistan here!

 

[Hassan0987]

Good fielding there

 

[AZ]

Good stop from Azza!

 

[james_bond]

rehman is just a good t20 bowler.

[Hassan0987]

Beats him

 

[Amjid Javed]

brilliant fielding by azhar, saves 4 runs!

 

[Hassan0987]

Again! Beats him. Good over from Tanvir

 

[AZ]

Ahhh, jaffa from TanTan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan showing that they can't get the tail out as usual!

[Deewana Mastana]

They'll probably get 220 here with Bishoo to come!

 

[AZ]

Slashed past slip

 

[james_bond]

this is seriously annoying now.

Pathetic start today from Pakistan. Defensive fields. Rehman bowling same deliveries. Not good at all

 

[talha3]

158-8 and they've got to 200

 

[tauseefm]

Misbah as a captain is a moron

 

[talha3]

If we don't get a lead of 50+, it's not much of a physiological lead.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Solid single by Rampaul

Looks a proper batsman!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

158-8 and they've got to 200

220 is on the cards!

 

[hur rizvi]

We dont have any bowler to clean up the tail these days

 

[AZ]

Damn this partnership!!!!!

Frustrating. Misbah

we should be happy with 220

[hur rizvi]

Replace rehman with wahab

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Have we ever had any recently atleast in the last 12-18 months?

 

[talha3]

Why is everyone going at misbah? the 4s are coming as edges, the 6s yesterday can't be stopped by anyone. They aren't getting any easy singles.
