3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

Looks like Ehsan bhai is tired after riding Sheikh Rasheed’s bike so let me do the noble service here.

Pakistan won the toss and of to a disastrous start. Gabriel got both Azhar ali and Asad Shafiq on ducks.

Right now Pak is 9/2 with Sami Aslam and YK on crease.

Muhammad Amir and Wahab Riaz are back in the team.

Apart from those two quick wickets, rest has been in control of Pakistan…

Pakistan 211-4

Misbah & Sarfaraz at wicket

Pakistan should try to reach 300 by end of day plau without loosing any more wickets

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

Lets see… We have seen wickets tumbling in Dhaka …

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

Aur app nay yajaan bhi wickets gira deen…

Out of nowhere, with no demons in the pitch and nothing special in bowling…pakistan lost 4 wickets just for 50 runs…

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

At stumps on Day 1

Pak 255-8

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

So only looking at the score here Pak was 211 for 4 to 255 for 8. Wth happened?

Good sign is 50s from 4 batsmen. But Nawaz is disappointing again. Should have atleast got into double figures.

I guess this name is undee stress and stars are not favoring it either

Windies Day

Pakistan has been playing essentially with 5 specialist batsmen and Sarfraz in this series. The tail is too long. Nawaz (has a decent first class record), Wahab and Amir may score runs here and there but they are not genuine all-rounders at domestic let alone test level. This strategy will not work in places such as NZ and Australia. Should play Babar Azam in place of Nawaz or Zulfiqar Babar. Azhar Ali can be the 5th bowling option.

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

lets hope we cross 325 to put pressure on them

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

281 All out Pakistan…

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

sad. I was expecting atleast 300 . They got 1 but seems will be a tough match. 3 - 0looks difficult but u never know both WI and PAK , both have capabiliites to slip and make a match out of it.

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

281 is not that small after all

WI 38-3

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

197/5 . brathwite stuck to the cause. we need quick wickets

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

So WI were 68/4 which is what we wanted but then they dragged it ending the day at 244/6. Good score for them.

Wonderful effort by Brathwaite still hanging on 95. Hope he completes his century.

Apparently they’ll be able to come close to or pass Pakistani score. But it better be close. All the focus will then shift on 2nd innings where Pakistan needs to pile up some runs.

Somehow I think Rahat Ali would have been way better than Zulfikar baba ji who’s been useless so far.

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah

WI leading . Gai bhains pani main

Re: 3rd Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Sharjah
