*Official* Pakistan in the West Indies

[tooextracool]

What an effort from the Windies - did anyone give them a hope in this series?

nope not after they found out that sami wasnt playing.
they forgot about naved though.

Guess Lara will be going back to the top of the rankings after this match.

Edwards is shaping up to be a real good bowler. One of the world's fastest by now, I believe (94 mph)?

He still has severe accuracy problems. Like most express quicks who can move the ball a bit like Shoaib and Lee, when he gets the ball in the right spot he looks absolutely menacing, and when he doesn't, he's shocking. Unlike the others however, he still puts it in the right area far too rarely.

nah faaip i have seen a lot him in the last twelve months of so, and i think his accuracy has improved

he should have never moved

Lara goes for 48, but he's done enough to make it very, very hard for Pakistan from here. Lead is closing in on 350 with 6 wickets still to take.

 

[Don]

how often does lara score big in the first innings and then not do much in the second.

ok its up to the tiger now.wavell just stick with him and well be safe

He scored 48...

Now even West Indies couldn't mess it up from here... well done WI... and poor show from Pakistan, they were without Inzamam and Youhana but there was no excuse for that shameless batting display... this test might be finished on Day 3... all West Indies needs is a lead of around 400 and Pakistan will collapse like house of cards.

 

[imranrabb]

Pakistan performed worse then Bangladesh

 

[roseboy64]

I was shocked when I saw that the Windies were batting again. I don't have another exam till thursday so i'll be able to watch without guilt.

 

[roseboy64]

That Lara dismissal looked a bit dodgy though.

 

[deeps]

dodgy? how so?

umm where is youhana? i know that inzi is suspended for one test...shoaib malik is also suspended for one test...but what ever happened to youhana?

i suppose with 3 of their most solid batsman missing from the line up, this was expected.. A very inexperienced batting line up. Would have been wise to move razzaq up the order and told him to play a patient innings. I didn't realise youhana wasn't playing!

 

[JASON]

Good showing by the Windies, Chanderpaul seems to be doing well as Captain in his first Test captaincy role .

 

[roseboy64]

His foot did seem to be on the line.

 

[Beleg]

Apparantly Youhana's father wasn't too well and he had to fly back home to be with him.

Never underestimate Pakistan.Remember the innings from Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq which helped in drawing the Mohali test in which the indians were 100% sure of their victory.Pakistan are the most unpredictable side in the whole cricket world and they can still take the game away from West Indies.But most probably,this series will end as a draw.

Actually, I g2 agree with him. Given how unpredictable these two sides are, any result is still possible..... Pakistan could lose this one by 400 runs just as easily as they can win it with about 5 wickets in hand.
