'Official' Pakistan in West Indies

[Howe_zat]

Muhammad Salman is such a good keeper.But he really needs to improve his batting.It could cost him a place in the side.Either way,i think Rehman should have come ahead of him in the order.

Afridi could come ahead of him in the order...

Can someone explain why Sammy and Rampaul have done well, but Gul and Wahab have been ****.

Line and Length.The pitch has done the rest.

I would say Gul and Riaz are bang-it-in type bowlers who don't attack the stumps consistently (which they should because they both have good yorkers). Roach's performance in this match has been more inexplicable.. he usually targets the stumps.

A bit of Nostalgia here,but with the amount of off the pitch movement here,Amir would have been twice as deadly than any other bowler in this match.

Still feel Pakistan will win this.

And Asif would have outbowled Amir by a country mile. Asif would probably be the most difficult bowler in the world to face in these conditions.

Amir was mostly a swing bowler, wasn't he?

From what I saw of him, he came across as the kind of bowler that swung it in the air. Asif would have been more of a threat IMO.

Have any of the pacers been bowling cutters? Should be useful imo

Just curious will amer be selected to play for pak ever again after he came back[he would be 24] or will pak board think that'll affect team's image and spirit?

Sammy bowling some cracking stuff here. Never thought I'd say that lol.

PCB - bastions of moral fibre.

Would be surprised if anything can affect the team's spirit. With the kind of stuff that goes on in that team, they must be the most resilient/indifferent team in the world.

My bad.I meant Asif.

Yes Amir relied more on swing than movement off the pitch.

We're stuck with him for life now....

I think he will definitely get selected at some point in time.Having said that,5 years away from professional cricket has a high chance of ruining his ability.He probably won't be half as good when he comes back.

Theres a lot of runs to be scored here for a pretty average tail. Would be pretty amazing for West Indies to lose from here.

Broad would be a nightmare on this. The sort of pitch where he has a tendency to scythe through batting lineups.
