'Official' Pakistan in West Indies

[Xuhaib]

Azhar was the biggest dissapointment for me looked completely untroubled and then just left a straight one.

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.

150 would make for a very very interesting 4th innings chase. But I think Windies would back themselves if they can score another 150 runs

 

[Xuhaib]

anything above 175 is Windies game.

I haven't seen much in the match but if you're struggling, the best way imo is to play more aggressively. People like Salman were just sticking around waiting to get out

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



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

Tbf to Salman, you didn't actually accept his challenge.

Hmm.. don't think Pakistan will bat so badly second time around.. or rather not sure the WI will bowl so well. Rampaul, Sammy and Bishoo were just awesome. Well, Sammy was more steady than awesome, but still did a good job.

 

[GotSpin]

The pitch is only going to get worse so time occupancy at the crease will be just as important as runs

 

[GotSpin]

thought it was pretty amusing to see Misbah almost walk when he was caught LBW

Plumbest LBW ever. Like Dhoni against Murali in WC 2007.

Also, why is Ravi 100+ test bowling average Fatpaul playing?

Also, poor old Devon Smith, surely this is the last we see of him?

Yes that is true.So no Avatar change

I think we can chase a target in the range of 250.Anything above it would be pretty hard.250 won't exactly be a walk in the park,but i think the batsmen will perform better this time.Either way,the match is set up very nicely.It will probably be over by the 4th day and it could well go down to the wire.

Who asked you to butt in??? Just b/c you are the moderator doesn't mean that your gratuitous meddling is appreciated

For the first time in my life I am regretting going to bed early. I couldn't place the bet and neither could I wake up for fajr

I agree with Xuhaib. Anything above 175 is WI game.

That's when you know you're up against it.

A lead of 175 would make it dead even for me. Regardless of of what's going on out there, bowling out a Test side for 150 just doesn't happen that often.

You didn't complete the sentence........."bowling out a Test side for 150 just doesn't happen that often.....unless it is Pakistan"

Pakistan won't bat as badly as they did in the first innings; that's pretty much a given. Reckon a lead of 225 would make it even - anything less, Pakistan are favourites; anything more would put West Indies in the driving seat.

People seem to be over rating Pakistan here.

It's Pakistan.

Nothing is "a given".

Gotta love the Pakistani posters on this site - each one has such contrasting views.

One is an eternal optimist, two are doomsayers, and one tries to put things in perspective.

Nah, there was some horrible shot selection in the first innings. Expect the likes of Umar Akmal to play more maturely in the second dig.

It's Pakistan.

True.
