Speaking after the game on Saturday, Noman said “such a game had to happen”, given the extreme conditions that were on offer.
“We will do our best [to bowl West Indies out quickly] Because it is 1737827889 A one-shot match, “Noman said after Pakistan, it dropped nine runs from the visitors’ total.” In the first innings, for their last wicket partnership, the runs we gave were a bit more. We will therefore try not to do such runs again. “
Noman said it wasn’t something on the team’s mind, as he faced criticism even when testing went all the way. “Even when we used to have a full five-day match before, the fans criticized us a lot,” he said. “We have been criticized saying the results have not come. [But] Now the results are coming. If the results come in two or three days, then I think [it is fine]. The results have been positive so far, and we will try for this match to have a positive result as well. “
Pakistan had West Indies at 54 for 8, before the Tailenders pushed them to 163. In the first innings of the first Test, West Indies had recovered from 66 for 8 to 137. Noman said Pakistan “had made mistakes”, which they will try to avoid in the second concert.
Franklin: Both batting commands are struggling
“I don’t think it’s just the West Indies top order; I think both batting orders have it very difficult on this pitch,” Franklin said. “There are many turns [and] Lots of bounce – sometimes it’s also inconsistent. So when you get out as a batter, I think the first 20-30 balls are very difficult to adjust to the wicket. I think you’ve seen hitters who can get through the initial 20-30 balls and get 15-20 runs under their belt in their innings, the game suddenly seems a little more comfortable from a batting point of view. “
“We saw him a little [Mohammad] Rizwan on the two test matches, we saw a bit of him from Saud Shakeel, [and] We’ve seen it from some of our lower-order hitters to do that. We saw it from Alick Athanaze during the first test. “
Franklin looks to set small targets for his hitters, as they enter their second inning with a slim lead. He said it would be “very competitive” if the West Indies end up posting a score in the “high hundreds, 200s, [or] Over 200”. Franklin just wanted his hitters to “look at the little milestones.”
“You know partnerships of 30, 40 runs can be quite important in these Test matches here in Multan,” Franklin said. “We saw that in the first test, we see that today. I think if we reflect over the three and a bit days of this test series so far, there has only been only one difference – and it was a 100 -run [141] Partnership on the first day of Test One. Other than that, it’s been very even between the two sides. “
