i think nazir and gul will come back after the lunch break....
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
Was that plumb? That looked clear as plumb, hitting off-and-middle.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
52.3 Malik to Lara, no run, flighted delivery on the off, angling into the left hander, Lara goes on the backfoot and looks to defend it, rapped on the pads, a big shout but turned down, that was plumb infront as the replays suggest
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
At least one over from both of Gul and Nazir just before lunch might do the trick. One over, at least.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
Yah Ashoka De Silva doesn't know how to umpire.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
No bowler seems like getting a wicket, and seems one if not both of these batsman are keen to score a big one. Our batting wasted too much time with the slow run-rate, it may will come back to haunt us.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
It's understandable that two wrongs don't make one right, but I didn't really feel that Ashoka was 100% behind his umpiring, at all. At first, it looked like he was about to raise his finger by giving it a little nudge. At another strong second appeal followed by Malik's first, his fingers seemed to be fiddling around with his pockets. It really was an eerie feeling, whether you are the opposition or the home team. The call should be confident so the players out there know the decision is being made without a shadow of a doubt, regardless of what it is. You don't want the umpires to be uncomfortable in such situations.
Manjrekar was also seen criticizing this bad decision. Already three or four wrong calls have been registered in this first test, both in favor and against us, which is not good for the overall cricket being played.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
I mean I could tell Lara was plumb, I think he is just trying to balance things out.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
Looks like Pakistan fails to take advantage after getting themselves into a very strong position.
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
what are they doing in the field
Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
A SIGH OF RELIEF
Hafeez to Lara, out Lbw!! delivery tossed up on the stumps, straightening after pitching, Lara kneels down and looks to sweep it away, rapped on the pads, a big shout, he is plumb infront on that occasion, so Lara's knock comes to an end here!!! B Lara lbw b M Hafeez 122(215) 4s-19 6s-0

Re: 1st Test Match: Pakistan V West Indies, Lahore
Yaar I feel so bad that we've been getting the good side of Ashokas decision, doesn't feel right, anyways Ramdin is a class-act, he showed no dissent despite being wrongfully given out.
