[Saffer_XIII]

What the hell Tahir. That was so easy.

 

[Lords]

Gayle bade aur darshan chhote.

no Chatara to bash around

 

[soso_killer]

Not easier conditions for our bowlers for sure .to win test match you need to take 20 wickets too..anyway who is not accepting that abd is best at the moment?????

To win matches or a WC you need other members to score runs as well, not much difference really.

 

[soso_killer]

Abbott has bowled well. He should have had 4 wickets by now unlucky really as someone will clobber him sooner or later and mess with his figures.

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith playing too many shots , will get out soon.

 

[Justcrazy]

42.2
9 overs

 

[Buffet]

To win matches or a WC you need other members to score runs as well,

Let's put an imaginary situation where you have Bevan , Dhoni and Klusener batting after AB. Suddenly , you will have AB playing freely in almost every game. Even to score or bat in certain style, it makes a huge difference who is coming after you to bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith is a boundary hitter , but usually ends with a cameo

good point....

This is the fastest I have seen anyone bowl this World Cup. Morkel is bowling real quick.

 

[hur rizvi]

That would have been a free hit if umpire had eyes

 

[hur rizvi]

That would be starc against England, touched 150 sometimes too...

I think it is the case may be check Hawkeye of cricinfo

 

[Aman]

WI

 

[soso_killer]

Poor cricket by Smith does not even have a look at Tahir

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Great catch on the boundary

 

[hur rizvi]

They cant play Leg spin to save their lives and we somehow rested YAsir shah

 

[Jo_Don]

When de Villiers wins a knockout for his team, people will stop. Actually not that hard to understand, but yes since the narrative is set, everyone has to oblige.

Kohli hasn't won a knockout either yet people worship at his altar.

 

[hur rizvi]

A big defeat of WI can dent their NRR quite badly

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Why does Simmons bat so low. He should be at 4

 

[Justcrazy]

4 down

Did great in CT final

 

[Buffet]

Poor cricket by WI. No wonder they win so less.

Goal should have been to bat 50 overs and get as close as possible but these guys are play suicidal shots from the get go. Net run rate will take a huge dive and Wi may be even out if Ire/Zim causes some upsets.

 

[Electron]

Morkel here is 3kph quicker on average, but has only bowled 3 overs. So the pace should go down.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 down

 

[hur rizvi]

We didnt play YAsir against this side

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Why does Simmons bat so low. He should be at 4

Oh well. Massive defeat on the cards.

 

[soso_killer]

Were Is the sleep for Tahir?
This is poor captaincy really, two new batsmen defending 400+ as well.
Another wicket, what a match winner.
Get a slip AB!

 

[Jo_Don]

Did great in CT final

He did ok, nothing spectacular, but that was an England choke job.

 

[Aman]

Complete mismatch this.

 

[Electron]

How did Pakistan lose against this West Indian side?

 

[hur rizvi]

Morkel here is 3kph quicker on average, but has only bowled 3 overs. So the pace should go down.

YEah would be fair to compare whole 10 over spell

 

[iHammad]

How did Pakistan lose against this West Indian side?

They batted first and amassed 300+... And we don't know how to chase

 

[hur rizvi]

How did Pakistan lose against this West Indian side?

Man i cant understand how can they drop Yasir shah against West Indies..

 

[Aman]

A big defeat of WI can dent their NRR quite badly

They're going to lose by 250-300 runs.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Our 290 run winning margin record in serious danger

 

[Justcrazy]

53 / 5

All over , Big loss for WI

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Lol why didn't he review that

 

[desi_launda]

fixed match i think,was clearly not out

 

[Electron]

Man i cant understand how can they drop Yasir shah against West Indies..

I talked about this in the pre-match thread too. Yasir was a must against West Indies. They look clueless against leg-spin.

 

[IndianWillow]

How did Pakistan lose against this West Indian side?

First batting sides will win most games this WC. Pathetic.

 

[Saurav]

He did ok, nothing spectacular, but that was an England choke job.

From that position it was a very good innings. Gave us a chance

 

[hur rizvi]

They're going to lose by 250-300 runs.

In that case their advantage of Big victory against PAkistan will be nullified quite a bit

 

[NZcricketfan]

Safe to say Tahir doesn't count himself as a pakistani anymore

 

[Aman]

NRR aside, I fear what SA (AB mainly) will do to Pakistan at Eden Park.

 

[hur rizvi]

WI NRR will be -0.0667 if they lose this by 200 runs

 

[adnan yasin]

WI run will be in minus now

 

[hur rizvi]

NRR aside, I fear what SA (AB mainly) will do to Pakistan at Eden Park.

Sure thats a big danger given the bowling we have these days

 

[Aman]

WI should have looked to bat the 50 and get as many as they can, they were never going to chase this.

 

[adnan yasin]

WI NRR will be -0.0667 if they lose this by 200 runs

Looks like they will be losing by 270 runs

 

[NZcricketfan]

NRR aside, I fear what SA (AB mainly) will do to Pakistan at Eden Park.

They play at Eden park?

May as well just hand the match to rsa now

 

[Aman]

WI NRR will be -0.0667 if they lose this by 200 runs

Thinking too low

 

[adnan yasin]

Sure thats a big danger given the bowling we have these days

just make them bat second

 

[hur rizvi]

Safe to say Tahir doesn't count himself as a pakistani anymore

He isnt a Pakistani but his family still lives in PAkistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir bowling beautifully.

 

[NZcricketfan]

He isnt a Pakistani but his family still lives in PAkistan

The way he was pounding on that south african badge reminded me of linux users. They always tell you they use linux

 

[hur rizvi]

just make them bat second

Toss is not in our hand

We just need to make sure we dont lose badly against SA

 

[Jo_Don]

NRR aside, I fear what SA (AB mainly) will do to Pakistan at Eden Park.

Depends who bats first, then again that's more of an issue when playing in Australia.

 

[Hundred*]

Gayle another flat track bully, this era of batsmen are all just flat track bully's.

 

[Buffet]

First batting sides will win most games this WC. Pathetic.

Lot depends on toss and most captains will bat first here.

 

[Justcrazy]

60.5

14 overs

 

[Aman]

Depends who bats first, then again that's more of an issue when playing in Australia.

SA should back themselves to chase whatever Pakistan score at Eden Park, it's great for chasing because of its dimensions.

 

[London_Lahori]

Come on Steyn, quick burst... a couple of wickets.

 

[soso_killer]

Safe to say Tahir doesn't count himself as a pakistani anymore

He is a choker now, so welcome to the family.

 

[London_Lahori]

So this is the WI 4th game, we've only played 2 and they started their campaign after us.

 

[Buffet]

Sure thats a big danger given the bowling we have these days

If Pakistan wins the toss the it won't be the same situation. It's mainly the side batting first with strong batting getting big scores.

 

[hur rizvi]

Correction*

WI lose by 150 Runs their NRR= +0.22

WI lose by 200 Runs their NRR= -0.0264

WI lose by 250 Runs their NRR= -0.2789

 

[Justcrazy]

WI need to reduce the margin of defeat here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

61/5? Looks like west indies won't reach QF. Pakistan has a very good chance now.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Pakistan still has to play South Africa though

 

[adnan yasin]

slip???

 

[justarslan]

Finish them off quickly South Africa.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Ab de villiers + eden park boundaries....

 

[hur rizvi]

Our bowling against AB and co.

Allah bachaye

 

[Buffet]

Correction*

WI lose by 150 Runs their NRR= +0.22

WI lose by 200 Runs their NRR= -0.0264

WI lose by 250 Runs their NRR= -0.2789

It can be easily 300 runs loss if WI play with the same stupidity.

 

[adnan yasin]

Pakistan still has to play South Africa though

Hopefully we will that match... need to bat first though

 

[Buffet]

Ab de villiers + eden park boundaries....

AB is not going to fire in every single match and not like what he did today. Unrealistic expectations.

 

[London_Lahori]

It will rain at Eden Park.... not to worry

 

[filthyfulltoss]

Holy crap every child in the west indies is going to be born with a negative net run rate at this point

 

[Justcrazy]

This is not a defeat but humiliation.
