West Indies vs Pakistan 1st Test Day 2: Live Score and Updates from Trinidad

18:50 IST:

Inexperience? One certainly feels that way, at least when looking at Pakistan’s bowling attack. 4 of the 5 regular bowlers selected for this game have a combined Test experience of 23 matches, while the 5th, Mohammad Abbas, has played 30 himself. Perhaps that’s why despite making an early breakthrough, the attack couldn’t quite keep the pressure on the hosts. Of course, swords were drawn after Pakistan’s 3 consecutive losses in this format, but with this kind of bowling attack, it is difficult to win a Test match, especially away from home. Sure, batting can help you draw Tests or maybe win you the odd game by batting really well. But if you want to win consistently in this format, you need bowlers who can take wickets consistently. They could only pick two in the favorable conditions, while after the pitch improved, they literally battled the batsmen’s problems. Let’s see how they fare on Day 2.
