West Indies Tour of the UAE - September/November 2016

[Rehan_24]

I thin Pink Ball should be used in Australia and India can be the big market for it. Pakistan could have a different scenario if that match would have held in our own home grounds....

As far as Dubai is concerned, Star value is missing there. Windies sent a 3rd class club level team and there isn't looking much interest in all this series throughout. Dubai strength has always been low even when Australia was here for test matches, besides the life there is lot busy and passion is not there. Nothing compared to your own home ground in a nutshell.

They're not that bad. They have some good cricketers like Bravo, Chase and Bishoo.

I'd bring Zulfiqar in for Sohail, who was pretty useless and ineffective.

Sohail bowled only 26-27 overs in the whole match! Yasir bowled over 80 overs and Amir bowled nearly 50 overs.

I'd bring in Younis and Zulfi-ka-baba instead of Azam and Nawaz.

To me Babar should continue to play. Younis should play instead of Nawaz and Zulfiqar Babar should play instead of Sohail Khan. Zulfiqar Babar can bowl the overs bowled by both Nawaz and Sohail, so there will be no extra burden on other bowlers.
Plus its very important for Misbah to start making strategies with 4 bowlers since he will need 6 batsmen and a keeper in Australia and Newzealand.

What utter nonsense! They were bad in the LOs and they almost came close to beating Pakistan in this Test. They just need time, like SL needed.

That's because Aamir and Yasir are much better than him in these conditions.

Aamir hasn't taken any 5 wicket haul since his comeback while Sohail has.

What has that got to do with the fact that Aamir is more effective in these conditions than Sohail? Get your head out of Sohail's ass, and think impartially, and you'll realise that i'm right.

Amir is not what he used to be, in helpful conditions for seamers in England he failed badly and after only one test test against WI it can't be said that he is effective. If you take your head out of Amir's ass you'll realize that I am right.

Close to beating Pakistan is not the criteria. Players quality does though. Even if they beat India tommorow that won't make them a capable good international quality team. Wonders happen in cricket but windies board is all to blame for their poor situation.

Regarding Sohail Khan, Surprisingly he was under used in the 2nd innings. Just 5 overs. I thought he got injured.

It's because he's ineffective in conditions where there is no swing! He should be in the team as the third seamer when we tour outside Asia.[DOUBLEPOST=1476969130][/DOUBLEPOST]

Quite happy with the changes, to be honest. Amir needed a rest. Perhaps Wahab could've played instead of Sohail, but i think it was a good decision to rest him as well. Maybe Azam could've been in the XI instead of Nawaz.

Younis The King Khan on his way to another Century Insha'ALLAH What a Legend! [HASHTAG]#Salute[/HASHTAG]

Babar Azam could have been in place of Nawaz.

I don't think so that the captain sees him as ineffective as he is playing in this test as a main strike bowler alongside Rahat Ali. Lets see..
