'Official' Pakistan in West Indies

[Agent Nationaux]

lol Smith first ball

I think Warne-Cullinan just got some competition for the bunny record.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That was a pretty risible attempt from Salman to get across to that stumping. Looked like a 10-year-old kid who hasn't figured out the need for footwork yet...

Mohammad Hafeez to Smith, OUT, One ball! That's all it took for Hafeez to send back his bunny. Oh boy, he just can't play him! This borders on the bizarre. Tossed up delivery from round the stumps. Lands on off. Does nothing. Holds its line and goes on. Smith prods forward with the kind of confidence Muttiah Muralitharan the batsman, would have if he were facing Muttiah Muralitharan, the bowler. No luck. Misses the line. Hit in front of middle and off. It is clipping leg. Ridiculous!

Thank you cricinfo

Surely, this has to be the end of Smith's Test career....

 

[Austerlitz]

If west indies manage 200 pak is in trouble.Don't think they can chase 267.

2 days.22 wickets.

Who said this was a boring match?

Yeah, give me a spin-friendly pitch over the dead batting tracks that have blighted so many Test grounds around the world these days....

I would like to see WI aiming to score 300 in their second innings, posting a target of 360-plus, and then have a go at Pakistan. However, I don't think the Windies will get there, but if they can get close to that, I will feel better.

A great test match this has become.

 

[Uppercut]

This is turning into a really intriguing game.

This would definitely be ideal, not sure how realistic it is though, while Simmons looks assured, the rest of the batsmen are all short of form, Pakistan will have to chase around 200-250 IMO
Bravo really played a very poor shot to get out btw, think he'd learn from the rest who were out on the back foot, disappointing so close to the finish

I hope Steve Smith was watching, this is how you bowl leg spin, not your flat pies!

Thank you cricinfo

Weird that Smith played Harbhajan and Ashwin pretty well in the WC when he has such a pronounced weakness against off-spin.

Wow, interesting match. Wish it was being televised here.

Epic stuff. Reckon a lead of 300 is a lock in win tbh so anything close to that is a bonus.

Think Gibson might need some credit for Rampy as well. Looks a completely different bowler.

200 is more than enough for a win for the WI I reckon. Also the WI batting seems to be coping much better with the wicket than the Pak batting. In fact a lead of 150+ should be competitive for a crap batting side like Pak.

 

[smash84]

sorry......I meant we will concede a lead of at least 50

Avatar bet?

I see that ugly photo Afridi is still your avatar .......CHANGE IT

Salman, you are going to lose that bet.

No Agent. You are wrong. He HAS lost that bet ........

West Indies v Pakistan, 1st Test, Providence, 2nd day: Ottis praises Bishoo composure | Cricket News | West Indies v Pakistan | ESPN Cricinfo

Bishoo, who was the highest wicket-taker in West Indies' 3-2 win over Pakistan in the ODI series, said the wicket of opposition captain Misban-ul-Haq, who became his first Test victim, lbw for 2, set the tone for him for the rest of the innings.

 

[Xuhaib]

as i said all along people were underrating windies and overrating Pakistan the entire top 7 is on their first tour of WI and this is a bat first win game track.Bishoo is an epic find for WI.
