What an idiot attempted shot with Draw in 6 ball

Still shaking my head as to what overcame Gabriel needed only to play a defensive shot with the last ball of the over, then Chase would have taken care of the last over giving WI a Draw!!

At least they made it competitive and Chase has established himself in this series.

He did not even need to play at the ball. Why did Gabriel do it?

Pak had all fielders around him to psych him out, he shouid have just kept calm and continue to play defensively but tried to go over the fielders head without even watching the ball! Boy it's really hard to be a WI fan!

I guess in everyone's career they make a bonehead play
well that one is his.

I would have preferred a blowout win from Pakistan if it would have saved us from this humiliation. Images of this last over outcome going around the world will heap more contempt on Caribbean people by a world quick to draw negative conclusions about us.

I prefer to lose with sensible people than with talented jackasses.

Poor Gabriel, he must feel terrible. Anyway, we were just not good enough. The coaches need to review and move forward

There needs to be better communication between our players while batting. The Pakis and other teams do it to good effect

I am not blaming Chase but as a top/middle
order batsman batting with the tail, it was incumbent on him to
call Gabriel and tell him that this was the last ball so remember our goal. But maybe, because of the tension. he did not think of that
