West Indies vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Basseterre | 23/5/11 | Day 4 : Session 3

[MAJID-SHAH]

So, Tea on day 4;

West Indies are 54/1 after 15 overs and still require a further 373 runs to take the series 2-0....seems a daunting ask. nvir

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Both Bravo and Simmo looking in decent nick.

 

[Hassan0987]

Getting these two out today would be nice

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Indeed it would, nvir

 

[Fawad2010]

We should try to get 3-4 more wickets today. Then just finish them off tmrw!

 

[cricfan4ever]

3-4 more wickets today and we'll finish them off tomorrow! keep an attacking field, and have Ajmal-Hafeez-Rehman do their thing...they can't survive for long

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

We COULD win today!

 

[AZ]

Not a particularly aggressive field.

 

[AZ]

Caaatch, ohhh.

 

[KingKhanWC]

A long last session will be hard work. 2-3 wickets would be nice.

 

[Hassan0987]

Inside edge

 

[cricfan4ever]

why is the field spread grandpa?

 

[Hassan0987]

Should bring in Hafeez against Bravo, and place more attacking fields

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lovely flight from Hafeez, deceives Simmons

 

[cricfan4ever]

Salman

 

[AZ]

Another missed stumping!

 

[Eht]

miss-stumping ???

 

[Hassan0987]

Beats him! Good to bring in Hafeez

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

 

[Hassan0987]

Missed stumping don't know what to say

 

[AZ]

He's a crap keeper, has to be said.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Not good work by Salman should have ripped the bails off.

 

[Hassan0987]

Salman should do more glove work and less talking

 

[Pak_Power]

Salman has had a few lapses now... and nothing with the bat..

 

[AZ]

Darren even has that buy eye like Lara, its uncanny.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

58/1 after 17

 

[Eht]

rehman is bowling too flat

 

[KingKhanWC]

gone on second attempt.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

C'mon Rehman common boy! lman

 

[AZ]

Gooooone! Tukkaaaaaa!

 

[Eht]

excellent Hafeez

 

[Hassan0987]

Gone!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Gone!

 

[cricfan4ever]

Professor )

Rehman gets Simmons!!!

 

[Pak_Power]

good juggling catch by Hafeez

 

[violet_may]

Taken!!!!! Whoo hoo! Simmons goneeeeee

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

59/2 :

 

[ballal10]

Atleast salman's missed stumping didn't cost too much!!

 

[Hassan0987]

wow! nice to hold on to that, but surely our slip fielders and keeper need some real practice behind the wickets

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

I think maybe once retired, hafeez could become a juggler?

 

[Hassan0987]

Sarwan comes in

 

[Hassan0987]

Salman: come on lads come on lads, let's see what he got

 

[Fawad2010]

Simmons out, I have no idea why this guy got selected, he averages 19 in the 4 tests he has played so far with a career high of 49.



why?


Edit: just saw his FC record more closely, i got my answer, pre-mature to make this post when he has only played 4 matches...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

59/2 after 18.

 

[AZ]

Oyeee, hit the glove.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good flighted delivery

 

[KingKhanWC]

Slash then slash hard man.

Hafeez bang on the money every ball.

 

[Fawad2010]

Sarwan, Samuels and Bravo, these 3 are the key men, get these out and we are on to the tail

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Simmons out, I have no idea why this guy got selected, he averages 19 in the 4 tests he has played so far with a career high of 49.

He has played 24 FC matches with an average of 29 and a best of 77.


why?

Well he was WI's best bat in the one dayers so its understandable why he was picked.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Spinners bowling well

 

[Eht]

Slash then slash hard man.

Hafeez bang on the money every ball.

He slashed hard man, its just unfortunate that it hit Hafeez on the belly

 

[Munna]

take sarwan and bravo .. the rest shall crumble under pressure

 

[Hassan0987]

60-2 after 19

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is Sarwan goes WI could collapse tonight. He's done nothing this series.

 

[Maher96]

Loving Sallu Mian behind stumps.

"Big Pressure, Big pressure comeone boys" )

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

19 gone - 60/2

 

[Fawad2010]

Well he was WI's best bat in the one dayers so its understandable why he was picked.

yeah, i was mistaken before, i didn't his FC records properly...

 

[Maher96]

Good throw by Umar but run wasted.

 

[Fireworks11]

Good catch by Hafeez.

 

[KingKhanWC]
