Official Thread - Pak vs Windies (1st ODI) Pak Innings [18/5/05]

[pakistani pride]

lol it is not easy to bat on wickets like these !!!

Normal WI pitches ar as flat like we use in pak. Still a poor shot by malik. Yoyo needs to show the way now no stupid shots....

 

[Amjid Javed]

BB, maliks odi record outside of asia is shockingly poor!

butt keeps hammering fielders here...

butt has 2 bat thru here

 

[Amjid Javed]

waft and miss by butt

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

I meant YY usually bats before Inzi in ODIs.

 

[alghazzali]

Malik wasnt an original one-down

 

[Amjid Javed]

butt smashes ball thru point for 4

pak 60/2

 

[Cartman]

malik failed... pakistanis mucking up the plot once again.. this is supposed to be a cakewalk for them.. is there something in the pitch.. they need at least 270 for the batting heavy windies lineup.. come up guys..


bottom line is inzy would have to save our beehinds as always..

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 60/2 (14)

 

[sy]

first 4 for butt.

 

[alghazzali]

Butt seeing it well

 

[tahaqureshi]

youhana the saviour

 

[mumtaz]

is bradshaw going to bowl out??

there is swing still even after 14 overs... 240+ wud be a good score!

 

[Amjid Javed]

yoyo of mark with 2 thru covers

 

[Love and Theft]

why doesn't inzi come at number 3

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more for yoyo, superb running there

 

[MIG]

WI batting will crumble as usual - I wouldnt worry about this game too much and pls, people spare us the flat track bully nonsense for Malik .... its too early and batting isnt that easy.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 64/2

outfield is slow... its very poor...

 

[mumtaz]

why doesn't inzi come at number 3

bcoz he gets tired after batting for 20-25 overs, so cant bat through the innings.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Im thinking....shabbir and rana should be awesome here!!!!

Rana - swung beautifully in batsmen friendly wickets in india..imagine what he can do in a wicket which provides assistance to swingers!!!!

Shabbir - so tall..will Inshallah get some edges today that'll carry to slip/keeper

 

[DM]

good spell by Bradshaw - very miserly


i still can't get over that freak dismissal of Afridi

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shabbir - so tall..will Inshallah get some edges today that'll carry to slip/keeper

inshallah they will, the key is thou control! not trying 2 bowl 2 fast or bowl MAGIC balls.... bradshaw has stuck to a great line!

 

[Amjid Javed]

The grounds a very big one! so lotsa good running needed!

pak 64/2 (15)

 

[Amjid Javed]

wavell hinds on now... ball still swinging!

 

[tahaqureshi]

the windies will have lots of emotions running here, they are really hoping to do well, so we shouldn't take them easily.

 

[Amjid Javed]

butt plays a superb cover drive for 4

pak 68/2

 

[Love and Theft]

Butt needs to play through the 50 overs, otherwise there could be a total collapse here

 

[tahaqureshi]

Big Ground + Slow Outfield = Low score

 

[Amjid Javed]

Butt needs to play through the 50 overs, otherwise there could be a total collapse here

i agree... pakistan shud look to bat solidly now till 40th over

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for butt

pak 69/2

 

[MIG]

BTW, those with Fantasy Cricket motives are free to express their REAL allegiances here.... Cmon Hinds....

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yes, the match now depends on our bowling.

 

[Raz]

Windies doing well so far. Good 2 see after that 5-0 whitewash by the Saffies

 

[sy]

[Amjid Javed]

edge for 4 by butt of hinds

74/2

 

[Imy]

looks like yoyo is itching for a run out

 

[tahaqureshi]

15.6 Hinds to Yousuf Youhana, one run, now we hear another new call, 'go, go' as the complete a run to leg
15.5 Hinds to Salman Butt, one run, a shout of 'go back' not quite whats taught when running, sends Youhana back after a fine throw from deep point


whats going on here?

 

[pakistani pride]

Well the saffies got absolute batting paradises we will play in the rain seasong great job done PCB !!!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

pak 76/2

 

[tahaqureshi]

i hope butt gets his ton here to avenge his debut duck against the windies

 

[pakistani pride]

what is this are thet playing in headingley??? ball is still swinging.........................

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 77/2 (18)

 

[tahaqureshi]

as amjid mentioned..its hte sea breeze..and in the windies you're bound to get loads of it and in unpredictable amounts..so its very difficult to call any team a favourite when playing grounds like these

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Butt's strike rate going up. Was in the 30s, now in the upper 60s.

 

[MIG]

About time heroes were bowlers - and good we arent chasing today!

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 79/2

quick single by butt, then by yoyo

butts doing fine... his job is to bat thru...

 

[B-Man]

i lost 90% of my interest wen afridi got out

 

[Amjid Javed]

another quick single for butt

80/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

another single for yoyo

milking time occuring now..

 

[MIG]

Run rate = 4.30 - Ok for the moment should be aiming to push to 5.5 or so

 

[tahaqureshi]

I am more interested in seeing rao and shabbir bowl...

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 82/2 (19)

5 singles off the over... good stuff

 

[Ayubi]

So glad Malik got out. I think he has been well and truly exposed (batting-wise). Bowling-wise he was exposed long time ago!

Interesting to see Inzi again coming DOWN the order!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Run rate = 4.30 - Ok for the moment should be aiming to push to 5.5 or so

ProfMiggyLal provides his useful advice once again

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Amjid Javed]

pak 86/2

 

[pakistani pride]

are spinners bowling or the medium pacers?

 

[tahaqureshi]

thanks a lot for the commentary amjid

 

[Amjid Javed]

medium pacers = collymore and hinds

wkts very slow and balls not coming on

pak 88/2

single for yoyo n butt

it depends what your classification of a 'low total' is.

 

[Amjid Javed]

L&T chill and let us see end score 1st!

 

[Amjid Javed]

collymore goes off injured, split webbing on hand! chanderpaul onto bowl...

 

[Love and Theft]

yar amjid i was asking out of curiousity - there haven't been low totals lately, thats why i am curious

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 88/2 (21)

chanderpaul bowls 2 dot balls..

 

[tahaqureshi]

collymore off due to bleeding and NO substitute allowed yet due to rules!!!!!!!
