'Official' Pakistan in West Indies

[Prince EWS]

Hoping Baugh stands up here. I've always rated him a bit for some reason. 12 off 15 balls including two beautiful offside fours before going back to a half volley and getting out lbw seems the most likely outcome though.

Haha there's the first four!

Picking two specialist spinners despite having Hafeez to bowl as well, and then opening the bowling with the latter in both innings - not only to get his bunny out but as a genuine ongoing tactic due to the pitch conditions - was all Misbah brilliance. He read the pitch in a way the West Indies failed to despite having the groundsman in their ears.

It was more due to the lack of bowling options for Pak rather than Misbah's brilliance

Odds on a Sammy ton?

A Sammy ton is 20, right?

Nope 20 is his double century

Shiv needs to do a Kallis from the recent Cape Town Test.

Shiv isn't half the kallisballer Kallis is though.

Fairly confident of our chances as things stand currently.I'll be happy if we have to chance anything below 250.Right now it looks like we'll be chasing something below 200,which is even better.

Gul should be taken off for the record.Bring in Wahab so he can expose the tail a.s.a.p.

Can't even trust Ashoka as the third umpire lol.

 

[shivfan]

Baugh dropped....

 

[GotSpin]

Need to squeeze out 50 more runs for the Windies to be infront IMO. Unless Bishoo is planning on taking all 10 wickets himself

Ashoka by name, a shocker by decision, etc.

Seriously, just seen the reply. How was it not given? The man's a joke of an umpire.

 

[Xuhaib]

so ashocka cant even use the DRS properly.

 

[GotSpin]

Would consider the Windies infront if they can score another 38 runs. Sammy to scope a catch to cover in the first 10 mins after lunch unfortunately

There is just no substitute for a good umpire.

With the likes of de Silva as the high priest presiding over UDRS, the standard CricketWeb line of reasoning will soon lead to clarion calls for UUDRS - the UDRS Decision Review System.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Just watching the session highlights. Man, there's some severe spin in this deck, eh? Ajmal ragging it square and he's not a massive turner of the ball usually.

Wow, a post where I mention Ajmal and don't say he's a filthy chucker...

Bugger.

That still makes UDRS.

Full marks for the recursive acronym though.

Right.
