Pakistan going for killer blow: Arthur

Abu Dhabi - Pakistan play West Indies tomorrow in Abu Dhabi

Pakistan are not taking it easy despite bagging the T20 series. And head coach Mickey Arthur said on Monday that 'West Indies whitewash' is what's been ordered for Tuesday night clash.
"We want to make it 3-nil. We are not celebrating before that. We are not going to be convinced by 2-1," the South African said at the Shaikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Pakistan turning from being an unpredictable side to a powerhouse, will this be realised with a rare series win?
"Without a doubt the series win is the first step in the right direction," he said.
He said following the England tour, many flaws have been fixed. "We have particularly worked hard on scoring off a good ball and also batting at the end. We have worked on the power hitting routines. It was pleasing to score 60 off the last six overs. Also, there were only 10 dot balls from overs 8 to 20," he said.
Reflecting on team's reversal in fielding, he said: "The players know what is required. I told them that we have to be fitter than West Indies. So far we've done that and that translates into a competitive edge. It's just never possible to compete in these conditions if you're not fit. Fitness doesn't mean more runs or more wickets because that is a skill. What it means is to run harder and put the opposition under more pressure."
Elaborating on West Indies' trouble against spin, he said: "I think it's always an area we try to expose in home conditions. This is our home and need to be smart in these conditions and spin is going to play a big role. Our left-arm spinners are doing well in T20 and one-day cricket." 
On shining spin star Imad Wasim, he said: "He's getting there and mustn't get ahead of himself. There is still a lot of work to do but he is a good cricketer."
He also had a word with the 'bad boy' Umar Akmal. "I had a very serious chat with him and he knows where he stands. But he's been outstanding, he's worked really hard. I am enjoying working with him."
On the changes for Tuesday match, he said: "We want to have a look at Amir and see him bowl. I'm quite keen to see how Wahab Riaz goes and will make that final decision on the day. Our left-arm spinners have got the wood over them and certainly won't be tempering with that."
Meanwhile, Arthur has sheepishly sidestepped a poser on why 'boom boom' Shahid Afridi wasn't given a decent farewell.
There was a lot of hue and cry about will he or won't he get a dream farewell at 'home'.
"Afridi has done fantastic work. Ultimately, it's a decision that is going to be taken above me and the relevant people," Arthur said.
The South African, though, hinted that he had a different line of thought.
"I'm not involved in that although I would like to have my opinion on it at some stage," he added.
This means that the T20 veteran will not get a chance this year. He has already retired from one-day and Test formats.
