TEST SERIES :: Pakistan v West Indies

I can't see Paks getting anywhere near the 250 to win the match now Babar has departed.

Just deserts really. No need to prepare a minefield for this test. Hopefully this result might reign them in a bit.

On a side note. When did Aleem Dar become chief selector? I liked him as an umpire, don't really know what his administration skills are like. Strange choice imo.

He got appointed after England beat them.

Honestly don’t even know why some get so worked up about the bot. It’s basically just a news update account. I’d probably prefer them not to be part of the board but can’t say they bother me in the slightest.

Anyway on this test, hope the West Indies can get over the line. Serve Pakistan right preparing these absolute comedy pitches.

I think Pakistan might be my 2nd favourite international team but the WIndies have been great in this series and want them to go away with a 1-1

My thoughts too. Warrican and Motie the spinners are going to be there for a while hopefully. Looks like they can hold a bat too. Problem is they need a batter or two. Apart from their skip Kraigg I don't see any proper batters in their ranks just shorter format franchise players. Again the money train derails smaller nations battering themselves. Short term monetary gains rather than long term stability. I don't blame them mind. I'm sure it would be tough going being a cricket board outside the fat 3 atm.

P.s you're spot on regarding looking out for Paks results. Tbf it's easy to support the underdog when the behemoth Bcci are out to crush them into insignificance.

got that for my 14th birthday the day before the WC Final in 99. Some reason I really didn't want the Aussies to win :lol:, always liked Pakistan and their lasses can look amazing 🤣.

Warrican looks a very intelligent spinner. Reckon he'll has a chance to be their best spinner for years.

It’s the constant irrelevant bumping of old threads for me. We don’t need a thread about Ryan Sidebottom from 2009 bumping because he has bought a new car

I’ve gone with ignore, it’s still irritating and it means I don’t get to talk bollocks on some topics/some matches

But I’ll live, and you’ll all be better without my bollocks.

And the fact that three excellent cricket posters have now been banned or left because of it. Maybe more that I don't know of.

There is a saying on the Facebook groups that I'm a member of "If you don't like something that someone has posted just scroll on by" Nobody has been banned because of what someone else has said or done but because they want to keep on moaning about it rather than just ignoring it and thus spoiling the forum for everyone else that wants to just read about cricket and not some peoples' petty vendettas

I’d like you to post about cricket actually. You seem to just post variants of the above, maybe actually contribute to the cricket chat and we can move on?

I'm here primarily to read about cricket and Durham in particular as I no longer live in the area and whilst I'll happily read whatever is written about cricket I'm not interested in the childish sniping

Post about it too then.

And take your advice about scrolling on if you don’t like it, because literally that’s all you post. You’re complaining about people being frustrated, without actually contributing anything bar your own complaints.

Liking its posts and those of people sticking up for it, and complaining about people complaining about it. That's all he seems to do 🤔
