West Indies will win after 1990. Still remember Desmond Haynes batting in 1990 tour. In that tour everyone praised Bian Lara but my favorite was Desmond Haynes, his batting style and headband were so cute.

I really enjoyed watching this Test series between Pakistan and West Indies. Challenging conditions for the batsmen, as Test match cricket should be, however, it was misleading. Great spirit and fight from both teams.

Poor fitness, game awareness and professionalism, especially from players like Babar Azam. Inculcating accountability, discipline and perseverance to avoid further decline in the West Indies. #PAKvsWI

Similarly, the pitch bowler from West Indies scored a fifty in the first innings
And in the second, Craig Brathwaite scored a counter-attacking fifty.
But the overrated Babri doesn’t score on such pitches and ended the series with 45 runs in just 4 innings 😂😂— Nikhil (@n81433161) January 26, 2025

Pakistan is walking into its own trap. West Indies managed to get four crucial wickets after showing some swagger in their batting. A long way to go for Pakistan. They need another 178 runs to win the series but have just six wickets in hand.# Print pic.twitter.com/yXWNS6tvHo

Babar Azam’s total runs in this entire series = 44.
West Indies bowler Moti in 2nd Test, 1st innings = 55.
The West Indies bowler’s single innings tally is more than Babar Azam’s series total, the ‘best player’ of social media.#PAKvsWI— Anis Khan (@KhanAnis51) January 26, 2025
