Pak V WI: 3rd ODI: Lahore [Scores Updates and discussion]

[azcali78]

4 wide

 

[xbox]

They should have brought hafeez before malik

 

[xbox]

Malik is bowling crap

 

[MIG]

MoYo is not a "natural" captain ( as isnt Inzi I suppose ) YK seems to have been born with those skills .

 

[azcali78]

Was this out or was this not?

Imran Farhat v Samuels

If you follow what mr.punter say, Respect the fielder claim of the catch. Yes that was out.

 

[Farhan!]

2 runs

 

[xbox]

Seems like moyo changing field every ball. He had a slip for one ball...ball went to fine leg he removed slip and placed in on fine leg lol

 

[tahaqureshi]

I saw that footage, I think its out..Farhat caught the bowl with his fingers..

 

[Farhan!]

wide

 

[Farhan!]

150-4
34.3 Overs

 

[Farhan!]

Great bowling Rehman

 

[Farhan!]

Quick single - Overthrow - they manage one more
2 runs

 

[Farhan!]

Four by Simmons

 

[azcali78]

Why is not Hafeez bowling. Malik has been bowling some lollypops

 

[Farhan!]

Wide ball. Malik losing confidence

 

[azcali78]

Another wide. Malik has probally given away 8-9 runs in wides. 159-4 36 gone

 

[the true passionist]

Younis prefers Malik as an off-spinner while Inzi prefers Hafeez.

 

[Farhan!]

Rehman continues

 

[Farhan!]

OUT. bowled. MOrton gone

 

[azcali78]

Morton gone. Bowled by Rehman.

 

[Farhan!]

What a bowler he is!

 

[the true passionist]

Rehman, does it again.

 

[12thMan]

. . . . 1wd 1 1wd . | 1 2 . . . 2 | 4 . 1 1wd . . 1
West Indies 159/4 (36 ov)
West Indies RR 4.41
Last 5 ovs 26/0 RR 5.20

 

[12thMan]

Morton out bowled rehman

 

[MIG]

Rehman will easily replace Kaneria in ODIs, if he continues to perform in this fashion

 

[UJ]

Rehman will easily replace Kaneria in ODIs, if he continues to perform in this fashion

But how long before Afridi returns?

There isn't space for both of them

 

[ahmii2002]

smith is a tailender right?

 

[the true passionist]

Rehman will easily replace Kaneria in ODIs, if he continues to perform in this fashion

Kaneria has not played ODIs( apart from the odd ODI here and there).
How will he replace a player who is not playing?

 

[iafzal]

Why the hell Moyo is sticking with Shoiab and Hafeez? They are just giving too much runs plus the pitch is spinning so much and half the balls are going wides.

Why not use up the overs of the full time bowlers who have bowled well like Rao, Gul and Rana.

Come on Moyo you can do better than this.

 

[the true passionist]

smith is a tailender right?

nope.

 

[MIG]

Kaneria has not played ODIs( apart from the odd ODI here and there).
How will he replace a player who is not playing?

ie whatever chance he has of making it to the ODI team

 

[kablooee87]

wow this thread is dead. Two developments and no mention here.

1. Inzi has had stitches and will only bat if absolutely necessary.
2. There's a transformer problem and the lights have totally gone out. Play is continuing but light is really bad.

 

[kablooee87]

edit

 

[12thMan]

West Indies 176/5 (42 ov)

umpires prpbably talking about the light

 

[xbox]

Akmal dropped a catch on hafeez bowling

 

[kablooee87]

MoYo wants to bring on the seamers but the umpires deny it.

 

[kablooee87]

gul on now

 

[12thMan]

Rahman bowling very well 9 overs for 24 runs 2 wickets 2.7 E/R
178/5 (43 ov)

 

[12thMan]

Dwayne Smith with a six off Gul
184-5 after 43.1

 

[Saj]

Yet another wide. Pakistan have been wayward in their line today, some really sloppy stuff.

 

[azcali78]

Gul bowls pretty bad at death. I remember a game vs india at Peshawar he got smacked for allot runs in the end.

 

[Saj]

Lovely inswinging yorker from Gul. Leg stump goes flying - goodbye Smith.

 

[azcali78]

Smith gone bowled by Gul. 187-6

 

[kablooee87]

Smith charges Gul but Gul bowled a good, full delivery. Bowled.

 

[12thMan]

D Smith out bowled Gul
187-6

 

[Saj]

187 for 6 with the dangerous Smith gone. In walks Ramdin with the game delicately poised.

Some light issues at the moment as the lights are not working.

 

[kablooee87]

9 runs from that last Rehman over. That was way too easy.

 

[Saj]

End of a tidy spell from Rehman. 196 for 6 with 5 overs left.

Gul to continue.

 

[Saj]

poor delivery from Gul. Down leg side and Ramdin flicks it to fine leg for 4.

200 up for the Windies

 

[Saj]

Good reply from Gul. Short rising delivery which the batsman didnt expect.

201 for 6.

 

[Saj]

2 good deliveries followed up by utter rubbish. Short ball on leg stump 4 more for Ramdin.

Not clever stuff from Gul

 

[azcali78]

206-6. Why cant Gul bowl yorkers. What is leg side stuff when you have an off side field and bowlilng at death.

 

[Saj]

206 for 6. 24 deliveries left.

Rana takes over from Rehman.

With Inzi unlikely to bat, this could be a close match

 

[Saj]

good slower ball from Rana, 1 leg bye

 

[Saj]

Middle stump out the ground. Inswinging yorker, wild shot from SImmons.

Spectacular stuff from Rana !

 

[12thMan]

Rana strikes. simmons out. a very good innings by him
207-7 after 46.2

 

[Saj]

Bradsahw walks in to bat with the score at 207 for 7.

 

[Saj]

good yorker first up. Bradshaw late on the ball, no run.

 

[Saj]

Bad light stopped play.

Problems with the lights which arent working.

Further embarassment for Pakistani cricket.

 

[12thMan]

Rana 8.2 overs 3 maidens 37 runs 3 wickets 4.44 E/R
this is after being hit for 21 runs in one over by Gayle

lights offered and accepted

 

[ahmii2002]

The furniture is disturbed

 

[azcali78]

This is so bad for PCB. They cant get the lights work at the headquater of PCB. Shame on Dr Sahab.

 

[Toony™®]

why can't pak sort their effin infrastructure at least in cricket..you know there is odi match scheduled..test the lights regularly! (i knw they were on earlier)

 

[12thMan]

Ramiz was saying that light problem at Lahore has happened 2-3 times before. I think he said a match against SA was also called off

 

[jafrioh]

I am sure someone in WAPDA is going to get fired

 

[Toony™®]

that is why PCB should have SLA's.

 

[12thMan]

some transformer problem. last time there was light problem when I was watching was I think in Eng. Well it was Aus playing Eng and the play stopped for 15-20 min. but this light problem they have known for almost an hour

 

[12thMan]

The umpires are walking off as well. Lots of chat between them, Umpire Llong looks up the skies, yeah it's not still fallen yet, and back to whispering sweet nothings to each other. And now they are off. Pity.
- cricinfo

 

[Imy]

the match that was abandoned was in south africa

 

[darkmoon459]

I am sure someone in WAPDA is going to get fired

More likely someone in stadium mgmt will get fired ,because those lights run on generators.

 

[sehban]

whats the latest guyz?

 

[Toony™®]

More likely someone in stadium mgmt will get fired ,because those lights run on generators.

according to cricinfo..the main power has failed and backup generators has malfunctioned.

 

[P4K1 #1]

wots the latest guys.. i hope we see some cricket

 

[Imy]

if both the generators dont work i guess no game

 

[Saj]

Floodlights still not working and the natural light is not good enough to restart play

 

[the true passionist]

and Ian Bishop is truely mad at PCB.
his key points:

- a poor excuse in this modern age

- PCB cannot afford to have this game end without a result. There has been so much going wrong for PCB. called of matches (hair), bowlers (hair/tempering) and drugs.

 

[cricketcrazy]

so any update?

 

[kablooee87]

Pakistan innings was scheduled to start 15 minutes ago....

 

[Amjid Javed]

If play does resume i have to say that W.I are around 60-70 runs below par atleast of a good total. Lahore has always been a bowlers graveyard in odis. Traditionally scores like 270-90 have been chased down with ease in recent years!

I'm not quite so sure. The pitch certainly didn't look like a bowler's graveyard in the first innings. Also, Pakistan are without Yk, and possibly Inzi. I think 225-230 would've been a score Pakistan could potentially have problems with. But right now, it's not so bad.
