Pakistan Tour : Final TEST in Dominica

59.4
Bishoo to Y 10 K, falls to a long hop!

How  would you explain Younis, a man who has banished short balls from spinners

for a millennia, picking out short midwicket?

Younis Khan c Gabriel b Bishoo DUCK

55.5
Bishoo to Shehzad, Ripping legbreak, draws him out to block, spins past the middle

takes the edge, and Shai Hope dives low to his right to pick up a fine catch

No such thing as fourth time lucky apparently. Shehzad was saved by West Indies

ill-discipline so many times today, but now, he is undone by a peach.

Shehzad c Hope b Bishoo 70...

101.6
Bishoo to Azhar Ali,  Bishoo provides West Indies with the breakthrough!

The big legbreak from around the wicket itches around leg stump and rips away

Azhar spars at it, instead of letting it go, and nicks it behind  !

Azhar Ali c †Dowrich b Bishoo 105.

Googlies are over rated : sgd. D.bishoo

Devendra Bishoo picked up 3 outta 4 wickets after 102 total overs bowled

"Reverend, if I had your luck, I'd be the bloody Archbishop of Canterbury!"

At the pulpit the next morning, Sheppard - who went on to bat for England incidentally

- opened his sermon with:

"Never go back, dear brethren of the church, never go back.

Religious faith is like facing Roly Jenkins.

Go bravely forward and go forward all the way."  ::LOL::

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, (CMC) – Basit Ali said he still favours Pakistan to win their ongoing Test series against West Indies, although they suffered a huge setback following their defeat in Barbados.
The former Pakistan batsman, now chairman of the Pakistan junior selection panel, said the 106-run defeat at Kensington Oval in the second Test which ended on Thursday was a wake-up call for the side and they will now have to rebound strongly for a historic victory.

The Pakistanis came on the tour with the strong expectation of winning a Test series on Caribbean soil for the first time, but the Windies drew level 1-1 in the three-match rubber in Barbados after they lost the first Test by seven wickets at Sabina Park in Jamaica, making the third and final Test, starting on Wednesday at Windsor Park in Dominica, the decider.
“I am sure, Misbah-ul-Haq and team management will learn from their mistakes and enter the series decider with a positive frame of mind,” said Basit.
“Pakistan should enter the third Test with all guns blazing and win the series for the sake of Misbah to pay tribute to one of the highly successful captains Pakistan cricket has ever witnessed.”

He added: “I seriously feel that the toss holds the key in determining the outcome of a Test match in the West Indies. The team, which wins the toss, I feel, it has bright chances of winning the Test matches.
“It was [the] batsmen, who were at fault [in the second Test] and allowed the West Indian bowlers too much liberty and respect. Otherwise, Pakistan could have chased down the target, but the pitch also played a significant role and helped the West Indies bowlers a lot.”

Basit also said critics should withhold their condemnation about the team selection, following the team management’s decision to introduce young leg-spinner Shadab Khan in Bridgetown.
“I feel Shadab is extremely unlucky not to take at least four or more wickets, as the pitch was ideally supportive of his bowling,” said Basit. “Probably, he had put a lot of pressure on himself, otherwise, he was bound to succeed.

“The bounce on West Indian pitches is uneven and it will take extra effort for the batsmen to spend time at the crease and spinners are bound to dominate, unlike the pitches of the 1990s, when the West Indian fast bowling greats use to rip apart the world’s best batsmen.”
“Only those bowlers, who use seam to the best of their abilities, succeed in bagging wickets in the Caribbean, otherwise, only spinners can take huge advantage. I must give credit to Misbah for taking bold and wise decisions, even though his decision of including Shadab may have backfired.”
