2nd Test: West Indies v Pakistan @ Basseterre

[AFRO]

I didn't bother to watch yesterdays action but looking at it has the wicket became easier to bat on or is it just rank bad bowling and fielding that has let Pakistan get 250 ahead? i hope the wicket is easier otherwise that's this game finished, although it will be very interesting to see Paks tactics today, i'm guessing they will try to get 300 ahead and declare, if it takes them till lunch to get another 50 runs though then it will be a massive gamble, we'd only have one and a hal days to survive,

Imo our tactics should be pretty simple, if we go in at lunch today we MUST make sure we don't lose any more than one or two wickets for the rest of the day, if we have eight or nine wickets to play with on tuesday then we'll have a real chance of holding on, we MUST NOT try to chase their total, it's too risky and we will lose, remember THEY HAVE TO WIN, we don't.

I think few catches were dropped. So West Indies can only blame their fielding to be in such a position.

Pak leading by 260... what is a good total to set for WI?

Are you hoping for the batters or the tail ?
