***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

WI should win this by about a 100 runs the way things seem right now

 

[brandon]

Pakistan’s tactics of preparing raging Bunsens potentially coming back to bite them. Find it odd that they’d take such drastic measures to win a series against a team who man for man they’re a lot better than.

Cappy Kraigg with the potentially match winning 50. Hope people are as loud with their praise we they were the disrespect.

That is what we were begging from him for a while now. Where’s the intent? Instead of watching paint dry.

It’s his fastest fifty in tests

Match up for grabs afaic for either team. Rizwan still to come....

Lol, it really isn't up for grabs. WI should win it tbh given how difficult the pitch is to bat.

It really is WI's match to lose at this point.

Excellent and potentially the innings that put us ahead in the match.

But once every 10 innings still doesn't cut it, we need more.

 

[Beamer]

Sinclair's figures look absolutely horrendous in the context of the match and how the other spinners have gone. Did he bowl as badly as that looks?

He bowled too quickly and short. Similarly to Motie in the first test, but with the added issue that he doesn't turn it as much as him.

Interestingly, he was much better today with the new ball, where his quicker pace helped him.

Yeah this is cooked.

Third the sentiment above. If Rizwan gets us home, knight him and give him free Sensodyne for life

Think we all agree that he does himself no favours with his blockathon tactics.

Not Tappal Tea?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Warrican gets through the defense of Rizwan. That should make it easier for us to get this win.

First since 1990

 

[trundler]

A bigger loss than the first test was a win. The rank turner ploy lasted about 3 tests. No surprises.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

absolutely insane that the bookies had WI at 5-1 before this test given how much of a coin flip the first one was

 

[Spark]

Between how England played Noman and now Pakistan here I'm half convinced that a lot of current batsmen just flat out haven't faced a bowler who actually flights and bowls slowly enough to know what to do, because they're just so accustomed to dart merchants in all formats.

 

[honestbharani]

Winning from 38/7 and winning by a 100 is just amazing.

 

[Nintendo]

This loss hurt's, but pakistan are still 3 from 4 since the pitch change strategy. Atleast there actually winning home tests now.

Warrican with the John Cena celebration

bowling at noman's pace for your stock delivery is only viable when you have balls frequently keeping low imo, on anything resembling a fair deck he'll quicken up or get murdered.
