West Indies vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Basseterre | 23/5/11 | Day 4 : Session 1

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Pakistan looking to kick and make a big lead as quick as possible.

All eyes on Taufeeq Umar

 

[Fireworks11]

Taufeeq to get out shorty after getting his hundred. Umar Akmal will be key. 300 is a must.

 

[Fawad]

We need to give ourselves atleast 4 sessions to get the West Indian batsmen out, maybe even 5.

 

[Inswinger]

Looking forward to seeing Umar bat - in the sceond session that is! These 2 must keep going for the first session and lay a platform for an Umar blitz.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Hopefully Taufeeq plays on for a while after reaching his century Insha'Allah.

 

[AZ]

Ok telecast has started...

 

[Theo_14]

The nightmare Taufeeq had has ended but the question is... Can he end it in a way where he get's that ton he has been looking for? It'll be a challenge and a half.

Expecting a slow innings here. Hopefully Junior Akmal will add up some aggression and big shots to the game with hopefully Tanvir being promoted after his impressive display with the bat.

 

[AZ]

- Pak mgmt. say they may declare with 350 lead!

 

[Fireworks11]

First time in a while Pak can actually dictate things themselves with the blade.

 

[AZ]

Strategy by the Cuptaan hahahaha

 

[AZ]

LOOOOOOL who saw Inti in the BoomBoom tank top ands shorts?!

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Inti flashing his big guns

 

[Amjid Javed]

- Pak mgmt. say they may declare with 350 lead!

Pakistan ultra negative, safety 1st management would never do such a thing!

 

[Fireworks11]

First things first, get that century.

 

[Theo_14]

) classic, still laughing.

 

[inzy_paratha]

Lol so Taufeeq was told to play the way he did by the management ... expected nothing less from our defensive minded management. Fair enough though, we do now have wickets in hand, and hopefully once Taufeeq gets his 100 he will start to attack, with Misbah just looking to rotate the strike from the other end

 

[Fireworks11]

Pakistan ultra negative, safety 1st management would never do such a thing!

350 would be enough.

 

[james_bond]

pakistan might not even declare, they will bat till bwled out courtesy.....................

Pls God let there be a human on this Earth who has a screenshot of Inti in the tank top

 

[KingKhanWC]

Taufeeq had dreams of this hundred. meed

 

[Fireworks11]

Ravi starting off.

 

[Fireworks11]

Classic block.

 

[talha3]

Ah I need to see this Inti shot.

350 lead should be enough. Start accelerating big time once 300 lead is reached.

 

[AZ]

Cracked thru extra cover! Great shaat!

 

[Fireworks11]

:4

Extra cover drive.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Misbah gets going quickly, nicely struck 4.

 

[Theo_14]

75.1


Rampaul to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run

[Amjid Javed]

350 would be enough.

Might be enough but you dont offer the oppostion things to easily on a plate!

 

[Fireworks11]

Single to Misbah.

 

[Fireworks11]

78mph. Pitch is dead.

 

[Poison]

Holding talking about god knows what for god knows what reason.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Anyone elses SkySports coverage messing up?
Or is it just mine? Coz it is really windy outside

 

[KingKhanWC]

TU lets one go.

St Kitts looks lovely, raining here.

 

[Poison]

Rampaul has been poor

 

[Theo_14]

Taufeeq survives the last ball. Misbah retains the strike for the next over... A solid start to the morning session!

 

[Fireworks11]

Sammy on now.

 

[talha3]

Misbah's drives looking good.

 

[Poison]

M.S. Bah really going for it

 

[Fireworks11]

Still on 97*...

 

[TalhaSyed]

Pakistan looking to go out there positivly...Misbah going for big Tuks
Taufeeq on strikes

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's you in Scotland. Get a broom/stick and give the dish a bash.

If mine goes down, I'll switch to Skyplayer.

 

[Noman]

For god sake go after the bowling.. We do not want a draw... go an attack..

 

[Poison]

Very poor captaincy this by Sammy.

 

[Fireworks11]

Single now to Misbah.

 

[Noman]

I hope misbah gets out... Misbah get out please...

 

[Noman]

we need a run rate of 4 from now on..... but till lunch. and try to get them out for god sake

 

[james_bond]

Hahaha yea thought so..gotta love the Scottish 'Summer' Weather!

Yea im thinking of switching over to SkyPlayer aswell if it messes up anymore

Thanks

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is not looking in a hurry as he looked last evening to get to his ton. Good signs.

 

[Fireworks11]

The ground is empty, a far cry from the packed houses in Aus, SA, Eng, India & SL.

 

[KingKhanWC]

TU still on 97*. He is determined to get across the line.

 

[Fireworks11]

Misbah blocks.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

flicks for 3.

 

[talha3]

Misbah's started well here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Thick inside edge brings 3 for Misbah and TU on strike.

 

[Fireworks11]

3 runs, Umar on strike now.

 

[AZ]

Flicked thru midwicket, 3 more.

He's playing very positively.

 

[NeVerMind]

Yes but as you are praying with Misbah gone, you will get 4 runs an over for the next few overs until the whole team collapses. Be careful what you wish for...

 

[talha3]

Moves on to 98

 

[KingKhanWC]

Single, steered to third man. 98* now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1 to

Moves to 98*

 

[Fireworks11]

Cut for 1.

 

[Fireworks11]

Solid as ever.

 

[TalhaSyed]

You can tell by the way misbah is playing that Pak is looking for quick runs and Im guessing once Taufeeq passes a 100 he will also go back to how he started his innings

And just as a say that 3 beautiful Tuks by Kaptaan

 

[talha3]

I think the aim is, by the end of the session, to have a 315+ lead.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Misbah's got the ODI captaincy and now wants the title of Boom Boom too.

p.s sorry Afridi_Fan.

 

[talha3]

New ball in 2 overs. And we know how Taufeeq plays with the new ball

 

[Fireworks11]

Very calm is Taufeeq.

 

[Fireworks11]

Great leave.

 

[talha3]

Ahh what a drive. But fielded well

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Driven well, straight to the bowler.
