West Indies tour of Pakistan

[Cricket_god]

Pakistani batsman are to blame it is really a great batting pitch.they should have scored around 600 runs but lara really got after them it should improve his away batting record.

 

[aussie1st]

Only one way the Windies can win this so they just got to keep batting and batting. Lara should be able to keep on going as hes known for huge knocks so just up to Ramdin and the tail to stay with him to give the Windies a big lead.

 

[Octavius]

i remember Ramdin doing some brain freeze moments when they toured nz. Hopefully he can survive the 12 over burst this morning. One thig is for sure, he will jump on any bad balls because he still needs to keep the runrate going.

 

[aussie1st]

Hes out already, Lara has gone on to his double ton, 215 not out right now. Mohammed is in and hes a dam decent lower order batsmen so he should provide Lara with good support. I can see WI getting 600 at least.

 

[angryangy]

It's like inviting Brian Lara to score a double.

*wink*

 

[RoboRocks]

Lara and Mohamed have gone.
Good innings from Lara.
Just what he and his team needed.

pakistan have fought back like only pakistan can

they can even win tomorow considering the amount of power hitters they have,

if farhat and yousuf see through the first hour tomorow then the enw ball will be very easy to hit int he afternoon,
pakistan can give windies about 50 overs to bat and a target,

First session will be crucial tomorrow. If Pakistan don't lose Yousuf early in the morning, they have a chance at saving the match, I don't think Pakistan can win as the pitch seems to be a very good one for batting going in to the 5th day.

 

[Gunner786]

its spinning good already

windies dont have a decent spinner to exploit it

while we have hafeez,malik and danish,

5th day any pitch is bad against spinners and if we give them 40 overs we could have a chance as all we need is laras wicket and the rest will fall just like that

 

[puddleduck]

Don't know about that Gambino. People like Chanderpaul can certainly dog it out. Whilst if you give them 40 overs, you won't exactly have a massive lead, so if someone like Gayle got off to a flyer you would be in trouble.

 

[Bilal91]

Much much better from Pakistan today...bowling them out quick and early in the morning and than ending the day with just over 200 for 2...Bowlers bowled much better today but Pakistan didn't get off to a great start when they lost Hafeez early in the innings but Younis and Farhat calmed them down both getting their 50s later...Younis than got out...again at 56 but Yousuf again shining making 56* and Farhat still there at the end of the day for 70...this match is heading for a certain draw unless Pakistan have a big collapase...they should bat all day and Yousuf has a great chance of upping his runs tally and getting closer to that RECORD...

 

[zub2005]

looks like this is heading for a draw but you never know a couple of early wickets or something by the west indies and if they need to chase 150 on the final session, with their batting line up if they all perform and not all the wickets falling it could be a good one

Whcih one? Beating Pointing to get to the top of the ICC rankings? Or?

 

[irottev]

Looks most loikly for a draw at this stage. Who knows what could happen. Pakistan have to play for the draw now, no show at winning. They must keep scoring runs and get a good lead incase they are bowled out at some stage later in the day.

viv richards most runs ina calendar years record

but we have players who can take the lead to 300 with 40 odd overs left

we can have 100 run lead by lunch

after lunch we attack and knowing windies bowling with old ball and our big hitting we can easily add 200 in another 30 overs or maybe 250

this would give them 300-350 to chase

but i dont reckon the pakistani team will do that

i hope yousof plays all day for his record of catching richards run tally record
