West Indies vs Pakistan in UAE 2016

[smash84]

wow, so many no balls not called

Azam could not have asked for a friendlier situation to debut in

Pakistan picking their own score then

Is Azhar trying to introduce some restriction on his own batting to create some sort of a challenge by refusing to play Chase through the off side?

Azhar Ali GOAT Pak opener - you heard it here first folks

Azhar Ali the next Pakistani batting great.

PEWS called it before you mister but the more the merrier

 

[Black_Warrior]

I can understand WI lacking in skill and experience but it's these dumb reviews that they take which is frustrating. They had Shafiq out in the first session, didn't review it. And now it hit Azhar's bat and they reviewed it.

 

[mr_mister]

Windies just have to match Pak with the batting and hope for a draw.

Only Saeed Anwar for competition right? I think Azar is not clearly better right now but definitely will retire the GOAT.

is Haniff's score in trouble

well Haniff is romantically considered to be awesome too

 

[mr_mister]

when you have Younus in this team the batting averages for the Pak top 7 are so bloody high. Like peak Australia level high

Well he has ensured his name in the history books - first ever double centurion in D/N cricket

these poor young guns Cummins and Gabriel's averages are already gonna blow out to like 40+ like Holder soon lol. Such a toothless pace attack

Pakistan are such a formidable Test side these days..

 

[Bahseph]

Who is the West Indies attack leader? Other than Zimbabwe I can't think of another team who is so sorely lacking a go- to- bowler. In LO games that man would be Narine. But with Taylor retired and Roach seemingly having degressed as a bowler this team really needs someone to stand up in Tests. Windies fans, anyone coming through the ranks?

Its not PEWS, its me but obviously you wont find I've said it anywhere because it's on my mind

As likeable as Holder is, you do get the feeling he is filling in the wrong role in this team. Always looks more of a batsman than a bowler to me.

They don't have a bad pace attack to be honest. They have bowled well in patches. Gabriel had Shafiq out today early in the session, he had Azhar edge at slip only for slip to be too deep. Mistakes like that cost them. Fast bowlers are not going to get that many chances here especially inexperienced fast bowlers.

The trio of Gabriel, Cummins and Joseph can form a potent pace attack. Need to be persisted with and hope they develop as bowlers.
