You know teams and their players always find top form against WI
Even debutants are known to make tons
You think Babar Azam is out of form now....wait till he bats against WI

Maybe both teams have no quality fast bowlers right now ( maybe only Seales )
Batting is where it will be and Pakistan at home have the advantage
- Rizwan
-Babar
-Ghulum

Will make loads of runs against us

Serious question.

Is that place safe for our players?

Things are heating up for those who are paying attention.

We'll be facing a different bowling attack in Pakistan, as you know.

Pakistan is a much different prospect on spinning pitches.

27.1
Marco Jansen to Babar Azam, 2 runs, fifty for Babar Azam - second of this Test and third in this series. 139kph, overpitched outside off and Babar Azam leans across to caress it through the covers. Just a raise of the bat from Babar. Can he convert this into a big one?

Babar warming upwink

It depends on who is doing the picking and where the picking takes place.

This is what the Pakistan averages are:

1. Shan Masood(c) 30.67 Batting
2. Babar Azam 44.11 Batting
3. Kamran Ghulam 35.00 Batting
4. Saim Ayub 26.00 Batting
5. Saud Shakeel 52.66 Batting
6. Mohammed Rizwam+ 40.88 Batting
7. Salman Agha 43.93 Batting
8. Aameer Jamal 27.33 Batting & 32.86 Bowling
9. Khurram Shahzad 29.65 Bowling
10.Mir Hamza 45.14 Bowling
11.Mohammed Abbas 22.99 Bowling



The difference would be how much runs WI allow Babar, Saud, Rizwan and Agha to get.

WI constantly making 200 or less will prove to be a disaster.

Pakistan will be too strong,they lost to SA no shame,they came close to winning the first,SA had to make 148 but guess who saved them a fast bowler,they looked like losing then.The last test showe how well they batted in the second innings scoring a bundle ah runs.Now the big question is do we see..."when they are good they are very good when they are bad they are awful".
Tek yuh pick VOR.

It's very tough to beat any sub continent team in spin friendly condition....

But recently, New Zealand did it against India...

West Indies can beat Pakistan...
Warrican
Sinclair
Motie

all plays and bowl out Pakistan cheaply...then bat out of skin against Sajid, Noman & Abrar...

Very Very Challenging.....not undoable...
