West Indies tour of Pakistan

[rocklara]

Well Lara's sizzling at tea 154* off 153. Dropped by Farhat on 131 at first slip, sharp chance. But the master is there, and a double ton is on the cards!!!

that lbw appeal declined off hafeez has really cost pakistan

lara was plumb

 

[puddleduck]

Swings and roundabouts. Farhat should have held on, then they wouldn't have to complain about a turned down LBW

...or they could have batted like professionals and scored more than 357.

Exactly Angy, fans are always so quick to look for scapecoats, yet at the end of the day if you lose a test match, chances are it's due to the teams errors over those 5 days.

i cant understand why inzi has his weaker fielder Yousef, in the main area Bravo likes to play his shots, hes making a bad mistake.

 

[puddleduck]

He's a poor captain generally. He leads by example more often than not with the bat, and is good in the dressing room in terms of calm leadership, also isn't too bad when they are on top in a test.

When they are on the back-foot however, out in the field he is one of the worst captains in international cricket. Often looks like he doesn't have a clue how to change anything, and seems to shrink away from the responsibility. However it is at times like this with the bat when he is one of the better leaders. Still, tactically he is a fairly poor captain.

184 not far to go now cmon Lara easy 2 hundy.

Pakistan are missing their chances, unlike the windies who managed to take most of theirs.

i wonder if Pakistan will have the mental capacity to defend for a draw, this is great stuff!

 

[irottev]

I can't afford it

Thanks for the offer.

Once Lara gets 200 I want to see more fireworks!

 

[angryangy]

I expect Pakistan will take the 3rd new ball tonight and have a crack for a late wicket.

...or not, they get the wicket anyway.

Haven't seen Lara bat so well in a long time, Finding his feet again after a poor champions trophy

I believe Farhat dropped a few in the First test too.
Alo talking about Inzi's captaincy,he tends to keep fielders in positions where they have never fielded before.That might cost him dearly.

 

[woodywiss sa sa]

Well it's clear to see Inzi isnt a captain he was just given the roll because there was nobody else at the time with older players leaving to retirement and form and younger players being brought up meant Inzi was the only obvious choice that would be a huge gamble.

 

[Gunner786]

pakistan can get them out in 1st session and then set them a target on lunch 5th day

could make for a very interesting chase

What a knock from Lara, in my opinion the Windies should bat until they get to 600, 250 ahead. Then declare, and they could only have to bat once, although if the pitch is still a bowlers graveyard that could be difficult. It is on ARY digital over here which is a subscription channel that I haven't got so I have no idea what the pitch is like. I'm going off what I have heard. The West Indies have the game in their own hands now though, they really cant lose.
