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

[alghazzali]

Man of the Match:
Afridi . 24 runs & 2 wickets for 8 runs so far. Good performance .

Unless Razzaq gets the remaining 3 which will give him a Michelle

 

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 79/7

 

[Saj]

the wife sends me out to collect a take way and I miss 2 wickets - I'll never forgive her

 

[pakistani pride]

haha unlucky saj bhai

 

[Raz]

hahaha what you say raz ?

What can i say? Im gutted with the batting performance of the Windies. A lack of patience has cost them. A few dodgy selection decisions werent exactly helpful as well. What the WI selectors wanted allegedly with Lara not in the team, the opposite has happened. The batting has crumbled to pieces!

[the true passionist]

the other day there was a thread asking abt the last time a team bowled the opposition out for less than 150 defending a score....It was Pakistan..
Pakistan is set to renew their authority on the stat

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs from over

w.i 82/7(30)

Another funny potw Amjid

 

[pakistani pride]

Bad luck raz maybe next game will go better

 

[alghazzali]

30.3 Abdul Razzaq to Bravo, no run, outside off and left laone, very difficult to score off this line

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs for bravo thru leg side...

w.i 85/7

 

[pakistani pride]

Seems like Razzaq is bowling good line

 

[alghazzali]

Well it was one of the best wins of recent time

 

[alghazzali]

in terms of bowling

 

[Love and Theft]

why are they blocking now - they should just hit out so the game could be over soon

 

[Usman]

run rate requires over 6 now

 

[Amjid Javed]

superb bowling by all.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 88/7 (33) - drinks....

 

[Raz]

Bad luck raz maybe next game will go better

Inshallah.

 

[whyhkk]

inzi should bring in rana or shabbir to finish the game off

 

[Khalil]

"why are they blocking now - they should just hit out so the game could be over soon"

They need the batting practice for the next game

 

[sy]

damn impressive figures considering our supposed best bowlers are out injured - shoaib, sami and gul.

 

[pakistani pride]

Bring back rana to finsh this off ~! Want to go and do my homework inzi !!!!

 

[Annie]

this is almost like suicide for the WI, the wrong decision and dropped catch by inzi have not cost us much at all thank God...i have to say it has been a fine day in the field for us, not so g8 with the bat...but I think we have done g8 to wrap this one around our fingers...

u have to give a pat on the back to all the bowlers that really have done well to defend a total that looked kinda small...the average on this field being 207...

we are the only team to have defeated WI on this ground and looks like that will again be the case after today InshAllah...

man of the match for me is afridi...though salman contributed a valuable 43 runs...top scorer in this match...

wat a good comeback for shabbir...i'm impressed really, and not naughty in the extras dept. today either...well done shabs!

I hope afridi will come down the order in the next match though...i'd rather kami open instead...
btw...for the shahid afridi fans...check

 

[Love and Theft]

dont see what is the purpose of blocking now by the WI bats - its not going to win them the match. Just hit out

Rao still not picking up wickets .

 

[alghazzali]

Rao the worst bowler 2day from the Pakistanis, thats bad cos the conditions were their 4 him

 

[Amjid Javed]

afridi his hammered for 4 by bradshaw...

 

[GamBiTT]

damn impressive figures considering our supposed best bowlers are out injured - shoaib, sami and gul.

That is your opinion bud! Beera is our best bowler with immense potential!
I hope that he inshallah stays injury free for a long time and shows his immense talent to the world!

 

[sy]

rao should be brought back to mop up the tail. That way all bowlers will have good figures.

 

[adi 101]

appeal by afridi turned down the ball pitched outside

 

[Amjid Javed]

no ball by afridi....shudnt be doing that!

 

[pakistani pride]

Still not that satisfied with rao....

 

[Rob H]

All Pak need to do is break this partnership and they'll knock the rest over easily.

 

[Annie]

rao is rubbish, and has been the most expensive of the lot today!

i must say that my respect for michael holding has grown today after that wacko slater had the nerve to say how decisions 'balance' out and michael said that he didn't see it this way...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Still not that satisfied with rao....

recall for shahid nazir... +

w.i 94/7 (34 ovrs)

 

[the Great Khan]

awesome stuff from the Sherdils of Pakistan!!!...wonder what the actor is thinking now...and from the windies..waht an error to leave lara out..if he were in this team we would have lost by now...as for rao..i think he needs a bit of luck and afterall he is new to ODI's..he can play the stock bowler role well in this form of the game..maybe not test material though..good to see beera back!!

 

[alghazzali]

Ranas been great once again, i want him 2 come bak get a michelle and then go in2 the top 10 ICC

 

[adi 101]

rana back in the attack

 

[Raz]

Rana back. Pakistan wanna finish this

 

[mumtaz]

does inzi think its a 35 over game.......it seems after 35 overs each of our bowlers wud have bowled 7 overs each, cant remember when was the last time i saw such symmetry

 

[Amjid Javed]

rana back starts with a NO ball ....

hes needs 2 sort that out!

 

[Love and Theft]

rao is rubbish, and has been the most expensive of the lot today!

i must say that my respect for michael holding has grown today after that wacko slater had the nerve to say how decisions 'balance' out and michael said that he didn't see it this way...

you are spot on about holding - he has always been very honest

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for bradshaw... pakistan need a wkt here..

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..holdings the man!!..slats just chats crap sometimes!!

 

[the SHA]

Rana a medium pacer on cricinfo...

medium pacer or not, lets hope he dismisses any chances of a repeat of the ICC final (remember!)

 

[pakistani pride]

Get them rana ! ! !

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for bravo....

this games not over yet....!

 

[sy]

2 wides and 6 noballs so far after 35 overs. Not bad by our standards.

 

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 100/7 (35)

93 needed off 90 balls

 

[alghazzali]

Well if Ranas a medium pacer, their bowlers r spinners

 

[Raz]

Yeah i keep gettin flashbacks of that for some reason,

 

[Annie]

every bowler except razzaq have been culprits in the extras dept....no surprise...but afridi shud not be bowling no balls...

shabbir only 1 no ball so far i think and afridi already has like 3 or 4, rana too has around 3 so far...getting better, but problem still there...

 

[Saj]

No complacency here, these 2 could still win it for the Windies. Professional and clinical approach required here from Pakistan.

 

[Annie]

agreed saj, we cannot just take a back seat here...attacking is needed!

 

[Amjid Javed]

another appeal for LBW.... blind shep says not out as per usual!

 

[pakistani pride]

agree its getting a bit nervy !!!

 

[Zain1612]

looks like we are going to win west indies 100/7

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 103/7 (36)

90 off 84 needed...

 

[Usman]

another appeal not against us

 

[alghazzali]

wicket turning, aswell as Malik

 

[Usman]

i mean against us

 

[sy]

No complacency here, these 2 could still win it for the Windies. Professional and clinical approach required here from Pakistan.

true say. Cast your minds back to the icc trophy final ppl.

 

[pakistani pride]

we need a wicket !

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on pakistan finish the game... grrrrr!

 

[pakistani pride]

eehHHHHHHHH get a wicket boyssssssss

 

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 104/7

 

[Raz]

The difference between now and ICC final is the RRR. Its nearly 7 now. Then it was always around the 4.5 mark and so wasnt that difficult.

 

[sy]

come on pakistan finish the game... grrrrr!

easy tiger.

 

[Amjid Javed]

superb fielding by butt saves 2...!

 

[Usman]

After Afridi's over Naveed should be rested so he has one over left and Malik called in

 

[karachiite]

O dont mind these 2 carrying on for a while. They will earn some points for my fantsy team

 

[the true passionist]

keep ur cool and pray..
req rate 6.85

 

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 110/7

83 needed from 72 balls

 

[alghazzali]

hows the wicket behaving?

 

[sy]

Shahid Afridi to Bradshaw, three runs, a brilliant dive after a
long run around the boundary by Salman Butt but Afridi tells him
off


eh? why did he tell him off?

 

[Raz]

If only the rest of the WI batsmen applied themselves like these two have!

 

[Amjid Javed]

wicket pretty slow and low now...!

malik onto bowl now....

 

[pakistani pride]

serious we need a wicket come on pak
