Pakistan tour of the Caribbean, March 26-May 14

[rich1uk]

WI make pakistan bat again at least but only 8 ahead and 7 down now

[mikesiva]

Wickets tumbling.

Singh nine.

Bishoo 18.

Dowrich for a duck.

Holder out for 18. Eight down.

Yasir gets five! Joseph out for one.

Gabriel out for a duck! Yasir 6-63. West indies 152 all out.

Chase 16 not out. He clearly can't bat with the tail.

[rich1uk]

pakistan 7-2 needing 32 to win

i can only imagine the conspiracy theories that would be getting thrown around if they somehow lost this

[mikesiva]

Gabriel gets shehzad for six and Joseph gets azhar for one.

[Arthur Crabtree]

That's a shame. Pakistan could have blown that chasing 150-180.

[The Professor]

One wonders if the retirement of Younis will see the return of Hafeez to the side.

West Indies Team
KC Brathwaite, KOA Powell, SO Hetmyer, SD Hope, VA Singh, RL Chase, SO Dowrich†, JO Holder*, D Bishoo, AS Joseph, ST Gabriel
Pakistan Team
Azhar Ali, Ahmed Shehzad, Babar Azam, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Asad Shafiq, Sarfraz Ahmed†, Mohammad Amir, Yasir Shah, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Abbas

Why change a losing team?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Shadab makes his debut for Pakistan. In for Wahab Riaz.

[dan08]

Probably the weakest batting line up West Indies have ever selected. On the same level as that 3rd XI they once played against Bangladesh in 2009.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Three tons in the last twelve months tells us WI problem. One of these centurions, Bravo is not available. (also Chase and Brathwaite).

Holder has 11 wickets in nine games.

[mikesiva]

Kraigg out for nine...I guess that was just a matter of time.

Kraigg out for nine...I guess that was just a matter of time.

he was in the nervous 9s, just before reaching the milestone of double figures

Hetmyer out for one...the poor young man has only played 18 FC matches, and he's been rushed into the team before he's ready. Blackwood should be playing instead of him.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sammy and Tino were already in that side before the series v BD in 2009. Of the other nine, only Kemar Roach went on to play more than six Tests. Most played 2-3. In the year WI played without the Packer rebels in 1978-9, WI gave debuts to Malcom Marshall and Sylvester Clarke and recalled Larry Gomes who had just two caps.

WI have lost two wickets while I looked that up!

[Arthur Crabtree]

No third seamer for Pakistan on the first morning of the Test- WI can capitalise on that after this spell.
