"What about the feckkkkin rest, why don't they share the blame for a change? That's my only gripe!l"

Malik, Kamran, Farhat all got the blame- Hafeez always get criticised for his inept batting-Drop him down they say-Well he can sit on the sofa next to Farhat, Kamran, Malik and his wife for all I care. We always blame these guys. It's just the only people I don't tend to criticise are Misbah and the youngsters.

Good to see Afridi mocking of Pak selectors with fantastic return. Now Umar Akmals turn. This guy is the best talent in international cricket. These two are million times better than Farhat and Malik.

The dumb Pak board thinks that the players should develop themselves. They failed utterly at developing the talent of Umar Akmal. Look no further than India and how they've developed Jadeja, Sharma and Raina. Mind you they all had miserable starts to their careers. But credit to BCCI for developing them as players.

Good point Voice about Umar Akmal. We are probably the only side that doesn't employ a full time batting coach which more or less tells you why our batsman are failing on a regular basis.

Very good point about Pakistan not developing their players properly. The talent is their on the domestic scene, it is just not being utilised properly.

Anyway, it seems to have rained over night in WI's. Same pitch will be used. More turn. Maybe make use of Rehman and bring him into the starting XI at the expense of a seamer.

I guess we could drop the two Asad's and bring in Rehman and then Amin who can act as the 3rd seamer should we need it. Personally like Robin I would like to see Haris Sohail play today as I don't think Shafiq is up to one day standard.

Agree Sohail should come in for Shafiq. Personally I'd prefer Hafeez to be dropped for Sohail, but that won't happen.

Umar Amin deserves a proper shot and some games- But please don't get it into your heads he can bowl. He's as good as Younis Khan!- Seriously. He should be picked on batting alone and I hope Pakistan do not select him as a batting all-rounder. It would be an insult.

I dont think paks will make any changes today. They should give hafeez a breather, but dont see it happening.

So who's looking forward to the Moin Khan reign? I will stop watching cricket if Malik and Safraz return.

Why do people hate on Sarfraz for? Yes he has hardly impressed on the International level, but if the experienced players cannot do it why expect from him? At least he tries. What he played 4 Test matches, one of which was in Australia- One of the worst tours in our history, he was brought in half way through. Then he was part of the RSA tour- Really easy that isn't it for even the bigger players!

Kash, I too will stop watching if that happens and impose a self-ban on all international cricket. This is getting beyond a joke now. we need the mentality of the 90’s back, attack attack. If we lost going down fighting I wont mind… its just the slow, sluggish, crawly way we play that’s annoying.

Safraz is too slow and thick amir. He looks it and plays that way too. As I human though, im sure hes a nice chap

I'll take your own words "What about the feckkkkin rest, why don't they share the blame for a change? "

Blame others before criticising or moaning about someone like Sarfraz. There are much worse kaants in the team.

Misbah wins the toss and Pakistan will bowl

ohh come on amir...safraz is a joke if there ever was one

Why are we bowling? Surely we should bat first and get runs on the board

Understand, but before I say anything about Sarfraz I blame at least 20 before him. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Bowling first a pretty good decision. Both teams have weak batsman. We should put them under pressure first.

teams unchanged.... great to see us bowling first. I finish work at 5, so can follow afridi with the bat scoring 6 from 3

West Indies now know they only need to score slightly above 200 to win this game on this track. Poor choice and when Pak bat later it will not be beneficial for my Roza

think we can bowl em out for around 170-190

Big man Big wicket

Credit to Irfan. In India, in RSA, CT and now here...He is continually striking early. Very good decision to bowl first because WI's are uncertain and Misbah has set very attacking fields. I rather WI's be in that position first up than us.

This is a good start from the West Indies now. Asad Ali is chucking pies. Anything above 200 and we are in trouble.

Solid start for west indies..... so much for trying out youngsters in place of junaid

Which youngsters you talking about?

asad ali = 24
