*Official* Pakistan in West Indies (Twenty20 and Test)

Great catch to get Powell! Thought Bonner got a poor decision, literally skimming a mm of the bails and looked very high in real-time. Especially when Azhar was saved by an umpires call earlier and they didn't give Babar out to an obvious inside edge.

If you think our batting is bad....our umpiring is next level horrific. It seems they are siding with Pakistan.... for now.

There's something not quite right about Chase and Powell (and Hope to a lesser extent) walking back in the side after failing for 3 years, without having to do anything to do so.

I'm just tired of the same old batsmen with no improvement. Powell caught behind or lbw not playing forward. I bet Chase gets out lbw or bowled playing from the crease tomorrow. Kraigg probably the same as Chase.

We desperately need some FC cricket to look at alternatives.

Even more frustrating when the bowling seems to be clicking

Kraigg should look at the KL Rahul innings today. He started slow and then switched a gear or two.
Kraigg’s slow batting is outdated.

Personally I liked the idea of giving Shai a run as a positive opener. It seemed to be working for him in FC cricket at least. But after one innings they moved him back to the middle order. It just seems like muddled thinking from management.

Instead here we are with Powell getting out in the same way he used to 10 years ago....

Decent collective effort from the lower middle order. Looks like Rizwan did a Pant but given the conditions a quick cameo wasn't that bad. Of course Daddy Fawad was Pakistan's best on a somewhat dodgy pitch. Not wholly dodgy, very entertaining in fact. Got out trying to hit out, too. Faheem Ashraf is turning into a pretty reliable run getter himself. You'd think the awful showing from the top order left some on the board still though.

Love to see Abbas back into the action. Go trundlers.

Caught the last hour this morning. The pitch looks a belter in the truest, most meaningful sense of the word in that it's conducive to interesting cricket. Was my first proper look at Seales outside Youtube highlights, he's so obviously good enough for this level already.

Just a shame they can't bat for toffee, although you can't be too harsh given there was no first class cricket (or was that just last year?)

Great stuff from Abbas, but wtf was that hattrick ball haha
I just find him so fascinating. Nothing about him is impressive or eye-catching. His action has absolutely no unique or distinctive feature. He bowls slower than Ricky Ponting and I don't think he even moves it that much.

He'll probably have 400 wickets before I start to work out how he does it.
