[adi 101]

4 runs for smith of ranas first ball of his second over

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 35/0

gayle 29 off just 18 balls....

 

[adi 101]

razzaq comes on for rana

 

[tahaqureshi]

why oh why did the windies have to break out of their long shell against US??? what did we ever do to them?

Their re-emergence was inevitable, but why against us?????

 

[mooz]

this is the point where some one starts a "why is akhtar not playing" thread.

 

[adi 101]

razzaq to smith
1) defended outside ofstump no run
2) defended on middle stump no run
3) short by razzaq pulled away down legside for a single
4) gayle on strike now.....outside ofstump defended for no run
5) drives it of the backfoot for no run
6) driven back for four runs bad end to the over

 

[whyhkk]

Another 4 by Gayle
40/0

 

[mooz]

why oh why did the windies have to break out of their long shell against US??? what did we ever do to them?

Their re-emergence was inevitable, but why against us?????

I don't think they have "re-merged"
we just are not that good at this point of time.

 

[Raz]

Another 4 from Gayle!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Razzaq is really improving as a bowler..

 

[DM]

Destruction by Gayle. Well at least i hope a certain beast's inferiority complex is activated by this Gayle onslought

 

[whyhkk]

Is this an ODI game or test?

 

[Raz]

Devon Smith helping himself as well

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for smith now....

w.i 44/0

 

[Saj]

some poor stuff from the Pak bowlers. Neither the line or the length has been right.

There is enough in this wicket for them, but not if you bowl wide of the stumps or too full. They are bowling a Pak length instead of a West Indian length.

 

[mooz]

afridi to replace shabbir?

 

[in_cutter]

GAYLE FORCE at sabina park! Pak bowlers gettin battered

 

[adi 101]

shabir to smith
1) FOUR RUNS, driven straight down the field
2) NO RUN, short and wide but left alone
3) TWO RUNS
4) what a ball smith had no clue completly beaten no run
5) defdend for no runs on the ofstump
6) ONE RUN, down the legside and hit way to third man

 

[Shoaib A]

pak bowlers can't handle this.....not looking good at all

 

[Shoaib A]

run rate sky high for windies!

 

[adi 101]

wicket razzaq strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gayle goes

 

[Amir]

Alot relies on Razzaq to find some sort of breakthrough..AJ we need one of your threads!

 

[Amjid Javed]

razzaq gets gayle.....

 

[whyhkk]

Yes Gayle is out
Razzaq caught behind

 

[Raz]

GAYLE GONE!

 

[shan]

gayle goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[adi 101]

aj do you support pakistan?

 

[Bailan]

GAYLE GONE

 

[Amjid Javed]

aj do you support pakistan?

yeah why?

 

[Amir]

RAZZZZZZZZZZY....this si why we need him in the test team. His expierence is so valuable with such young bowling attack.

 

[Nauman]

Finally,

 

[Amir]

aj do you support pakistan?

yeah why?

We need one of your miracle threads

 

[DM]

Gayle makes the same score as Afridi

 

[mumtaz]

thats wat i was saying b4 the match....agreed razzaq wont be our 3rd best seamer when shoaib and co are back but atm he is our best seamer and you cant leave him out.

 

[adi 101]

no its just that you are a bit hyper when gayle is smashing pakistan around and when he is out " razzaq gets gayle....." is not much of a erm a overly happy quote

 

[tahaqureshi]

Razzaq has not given a bad performance with the ball for a while..lets hope he continues to improve

 

[adi 101]

appeal for edge down the legside not given but excelent take by akmal

 

[adi 101]

kaneria in to the attack and almost strikes first ball

 

[adi 101]

huge appeal on the second ball no shot offered but sheperd gives it not out

 

[Amjid Javed]

kaneria starting well!

 

[mooz]

kaneria needs to stay consistent.
He needs to bowl 6 good balls an over, not 3 looseners that take the pressure of the batsmen.

 

[adi 101]

four runs of razzaq

 

[Amir]

I missed it, did it look out so I can rant?

 

[Usman]

Salam all, hmmm West indies starting well here, can anyone tell me what happened to Naveed??? Will he bowl at all???

 

[tahaqureshi]

He got injured, which is why I think his release of the ball is being disturbed....
