Pakistan in West Indies 2017

[sandeep]

Great start for Pakistan.  Amir bowled well in helpful conditions.  Windies batting showcasing their brittleness in all its glory.   Bad toss to lose for Windies.  Pitch is going to ease up a bit and its going to be tough to come back for a subpar 1st innings total.   Can they get to 250 at least?  If they don't, they will lose this test match in 4 days.

71 for 4 at lunch on 50th test at Sabina park as well as 50th test between Pak vs WI.

Pakistan winning  toss, Fields first, WI reduced to 32 /3 as DEBUTANT hetmyer and V.singh out cheaply

Such a **** Windies team. This is probably worse than a Zimbabwe or a Ireland test team. No excuse for Pakistani not to bowl out these Windies team for subpar totals. 

You know all WI wickets are road after lunch, probably they will recover to 235 all out after tea,

Not a bad recovery by these two but a lot of work to be done.

Its 350 par wicket at least.  I don't think the Windies can get even close to that.  Lucky to cross 250 at this point.

Yeah. These two need to bat as long as possible. Their best bet is for bishoo and holder to slog them past 250. They should look to bat until after lunch tomorrow or as long as they can.

Top order collapse followed by a bit of a recovery from 6-7 onwards. Usual story for the Windies

Yep.  Meanwhile Darren Bravo chills back home in Trinidad after meeting his lawyers.  Shambolic.  WICB makes even the PCB look professional and competent by comparison.

That's one of the best catches I've seen.  Stunner.

Definitely a really good catch. Lucky he didnt touch the ropes

Bad light ends play.  Windies lucky to get away to 244 the way things have played out.  70/5 could have been 120 all out.  Still Pak comfortably ahead in the match.  Unless they match the windies top order collapse, windies will have to claw and fight to draw this game from here.

Why should they draw, Pakistan even weak sides with bat but if match draws it could be because of rains.

275 good score here because wicket will more helpful to fast bowler 'cause of cloudy over cast for all 4 days but  WI has two specialist spinner and Pakistan has to bats last,

Great recovery by the windies, such a bad toss to lose, Phateechar amir was useless as usual after the the first few overs when the swing was gone, good for him the second new ball is available now 

[Jimmy Cliff]

 

Great catch. Even better commentary!

They will be dismiss under 300 plus if no rains, Pakistan might loose shehzad before Lunch unless he drops in the slip.

[chewy]

Looks like Test will be a washout and end in draw, more rain predicted next few days

[Cricketics]

Match finally starting. At least 38 overs have been lost.
