[Pete Rose]

I will be reasonably satisfied if misbah and Shehzad struggle in this match

[Abdullah719]

Interesting lineup.

[fazleefridi]

any live telecast?

[Usman]

I dont think Baber Azam could possibly have been dropped - the intention must be to see both Masood and Shehzad in this game and then pick the best performing one to open with Azhar in the first test.

Idiotic if that is the case. Babar has to play at all costs.

[samiakh]

Why not give abbas a shot?

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

scorecard link?

[DRsohail]

nothing interesting except asghar who may get his first test.. it should have been back in uae if misbah did not like his buddy zulfi baba...

[shah_1]

Azhar is not opening?


We can't afford to play Shan Masood and Shehzad as openers

[Abdullah719]

[Arsalan Pro]

What is the score?

[Arsalan Pro]

No Babar Azam?

[DRsohail]

9 /1 wi xi

[Deception]

One last shot for Shan Masood, i do hope he has adjusted his technique and changed his defensive minset of playing.

[Square Drive]

Babar already has match practice on these pitches, and so it makes sense to rest him.

[Syed1]

If Masood and Shehzad open the batting in the actual test I would be literally praying for them to flop like tomorrow in every single innings, and Misbah as well, because he made that executive decision to play them, robbing Azam and Salahuddin a chance to play against easier opposition.

[Arsalan Pro]

9 /1 wi xi

Who got the wicket?

[DRsohail]

Who got the wicket?

its amir i think ....

[Abdullah719]

Who got the wicket?

Amir.

[DRsohail]

4 and then beaten..by amir..

[DRsohail]

good swing for amir so far in this over..

[Arsalan Pro]

good swing for amir so far in this over..

He always bowls very well in these practice matches but I don't know what happens to him in the actual match.

[Arsalan Pro]

good swing for amir so far in this over..

What about Hasan Ali?

[Boi]

Tune in and Asghar is bowling the 8th over..

[Markhor]

Eagerly waiting for Rakheem Cornwall to bat.

[JibranAnsari]

Good start by windies 11

[Chief Destroyer]

Hetmyer is going to become a very good player.

[Arsalan Pro]

isn't there any scorecard link?

[Sherlock]

Match is being streamed on ustream if anyone is interested...

[Ami]

67/1 off 14 ov

Hetmyer 41*
Powell 24*

That above link seems to be working...

[Arsalan Pro]

67/1 in 14.

[Arsalan Pro]

Why did they bowl with Shafiq?

[Arsalan Pro]

Looks like they are going after Asghar.

[Arsalan Pro]

So Pakistan can't even get WI President's XI wickets.

[Arsalan Pro]

Yasir Shah comes to bowl now.

[DRsohail]

shafiq is on..typical misbah attck from the fast fo4 5 over and then spinners from both ends..

[Arsalan Pro]

50 for Hetmyer.

[Arsalan Pro]

84/1 in 20.

[Arsalan Pro]

When Amir was bowling well, why did he replaced him after 5 overs, should have bowled 7-8 overs.

[Arsalan Pro]

So Amir replaces Shafiq now.

[Arsalan Pro]

First ball goes for 4.

[DRsohail]

lets wait when yunus goes out pak will face their worst nightmare on spinning tracks..

[Square Drive]

Wow, disappointing stuff from the bowlers.

[Brilliance]

Hetmyer smashing all the bowlers out of the park.

[Square Drive]

Score?

[DRsohail]

Score?

119/1

[The cricket enthusiast]

lunch

[Abdullah719]

Bowling figures at lunch (via WICB):

Mohammad Amir 1-20 (8 ov)
Hassan Ali 0-28 (7)
Mohammad Asghar 0-25 (3)
Asad Shafiq 0-12 (4)
Yasir Shah 0-25 (6)
Azhar Ali 0-9 (2)

[Bewal Express]

Hetmyer smashing all the bowlers out of the park.

The lad should have been in the odi squad and has talent by the bundle load.

[Sports_Psychologist]

Asghar 3 overs 25 runs????

[Square Drive]

Thanks guys.

Amir Amir hai

[Markhor]

Asghar has been whacked.

Sunil Ambris should also have been part of this squad. Hetmyer with an impressive innings so far.

[Square Drive]

Will we see Shadab start ahead of Asghar now?

Misbah once again messes up by not playing all 3 together.

[Rayyman]

So our best bowlers so far: Amir and Shafiq...

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Finally a wicket Yasir Shah stops the guy getting to his century

[Junaids]

Presumably Babar Azam and Wahab Riaz replace Shan Masood and Mohammad Asghar for the Test match.

[Chief Destroyer]

Anyone found a scorecard?

[Belawal2014]

Catch dropped off Amir's bowling..

[Arsalan Pro]

170/3 in 45

[Arsalan Pro]

Catch dropped off Amir's bowling..

Not again, looks like the grudge of drop catching will never leave him, still he has been the best bowler today.

[Abdullah719]

Anyone found a scorecard?

None so far.

Manual scorecard:

Hope 2 - c Masood b Amir
Powell 58 - run out (Shafiq)
Hetmyer 97 - c Younis b Yasir

[DRsohail]

asghar got a wicket...

[Barragan]

Asghar strikes against the rightie.

He actually looked better against the rhb and finally got a second crack at him.

[Arsalan Pro]

193/4

[Arsalan Pro]

Hopefully Pakistan will wrap them up near to 250.

[Arsalan Pro]

Hasan Ali replaces Yasir.

[Arsalan Pro]

200/4 in 56.

[Syed1]

Hetmayer was their u19 WC winning captain last year. His batting style is very much like Lara.

[Abdullah719]

Bowling figures at Tea via WICB:

Amir 1-30 (11 ov)
Hassan Ali 0-54 (16)
Asghar 1-43 (10)
Shafiq 0-12 (4)
Shah 1-66 (18)
Azhar Ali 0-9 (2)

214/4

[Arsalan Pro]

214/4 in 61.

[Bewal Express]

Hetmayer was their u19 WC winning captain last year. His batting style is very much like Lara.

He is very special but will probably drown in the sea of Windies mediocrity.

[DRsohail]

wahab is out with azhar...it would have been so good to have a young fast bowler grtting mature under these caches instead of the ttf..

[Arsalan Pro]

Hasan needs to get some wickets or he will be replaced by Wahab Riaz.

[maanleo]

What's with Amir rubbing his shoulders frequently.

[Ellipsism]

Amir gets another wicket.

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir strikes again.

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir gets another wicket.

Do you think Hasan Ali is good enough for Tests?

[Arsalan Pro]

244/5
