When the hunters become the hunted! West Indies now eyeing an ODI series win against Pakistan

[MenInG]

One game is all that took to turn the tide on Pakistan it seems as now the talk is quickly turning into what West Indies needs to do to win the series!

With all hopes of a change in Pakistan's ranking improving above Bangladesh in this series now disappeared, are we looking at series loss against the West Indies?

No,we will still win it 2-1.

We should still win it, that was a severe pitch misjudgment that led to below-par score. We can't afford to bat like test for similar pitch in last 10 overs. Something that Safaraz and Imad did.

Sarfraz's trike rate was 153,do player in Tests play this fast.

It happens. Expect to bounce back and still win the series.

Though it has to be said that having kamran, hafeez, shezad, wahab in the team we will not progress.

They should give sarfaraz a young team with malik as the only senior.

On one side I want us to win the 2 remaining games keeping in mind we need to qualify for the WC.

On the other side I want this team to lose 3-0 so Mickey and Inzi are forced to make some changes.
Dont know what to choose :ahmed

Little over, an equivalent of, 24 Maiden overs in a 50 overs match is .... criminal !!!! What does it take for our guys to take Singles ???? Probably not physically fit ..... hmmmm !!!! WI were totally comfortable with that. Personal achievement of a respectable score seems to be a real goal, no matter how many deliveries go unscored. We will never be very competitive if things don't change.

Pakistan need to lose to grow. Although I expect us to win

 

[TahirFan]

The Windies have 8 power hitters in Lewis, Walton, Powell, Hope, Mohammed, Carter, Holder and Nurse. Pakistan have none. Besides Shadab, I cannot see any of the other Pakistani bowlers being a threat to the Windies batsmen.

 

[MenInG]

The confidence in WI team is palpable

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

hope they win the series on 2nd match

why not sarfraz himself demand that if he can keep the former captain azhar ali out then why did he need kamran, hafeez and wahab... Sarfraz following on the footsteps of MISBAH in this aspect, keep ur friends close, dont touch the seniors, grind the youngsters to take the burden of the entire team and carry the passengers (senior) along with them, which in return the seniors will stay , juniors will vanish soon...

 

[geraltofrivia]

If Pakistan lose then I don't see them qualifying directly for the World Cup. Champions Trophy they will lose against India/SA (maybe win against SL) and Bangladesh series too you would give the edge to Bangladesh.

Just calling their whole batting order as power-players is meaningless. Most of them are typically slower than Pakistan players. Yes, once in a while they will score very fast, but according to that metric, all the Pakistan player except Sarfraz qualify.
