i doubt it..joseph and shepherd are good batters too

 

[BunnyRabbit]

As exciting a talent Shephard is, the guy has legit no awareness while bowling. Odean Smith or Obed Mccoy should be selected ahead of him.

I feel like Shamarh Brooks would be quite dejected over his exclusion from the test squad that was announced today.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Going to be an interesting chase and I think it will depend on how well our spinners do.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are probably 20 runs short of par score. But, they should still win this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Shaheen gets Hope. Big wicket.

West Indies - 4/1 (1 over).

 

[NeVerMind]

Nobody bowls a better first over than Shaheen in World Cricket

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen delivers once again in the first over and gets WI biggest wicket. Just what they needed.

 

[shamaan]

Great set up from Shaheen clever bowling.

Perfect set up.

 

[sweep_shot]

Big blow for West Indies. Hope was the main batter.

 

[shamaan]

Good effort Imaam

 

[Marooned]

Wow 150k by Rauf.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rauf with his wayward bowling. See the difference in bowling plans. WI kept it tight and made sure to bowl to the field. Pakistani bowlers simply just don't do that.

 

[Rana]

Rauf bowling tripe

 

[Marooned]

Was there a faintest spike?

 

[Faizan001]

Don't attack me, i admire Shaheen. But isn't he about 7-10 kmph slower than he used to be? Just noticing

 

[imshally81]

Harris is leaking the runs

 

[Marooned]

Don't attack me, i admire Shaheen. But isn't he about 7-10 kmph slower than he used to be? Just noticing

Certainly he is. Think it might just be fatigue. He has had a particularly heavy workload this year.

 

[ha5is12]

What a shot that is

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rauf is bowling very quick but not very smartly.

 

[Ahmed216]

Always good to see haris getting tonked. All u need to do is howl good line n lengths on a slow surface but the guy errs on both sides of the wickets and doesnt like to concede anything less than 7 runs per over

 

[Omer2002]

One garbage bowler he is cant control his pace

 

[Nasty Naz]

Man come on Rauf. What is this trash bowling.

Put in Wasim for him and let him bowl when the ball is a bit older.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Marooned]

Wasim should've taken the new ball btw. He swings it quite a bit.

 

[Faizan001]

Certainly he is. Think it might just be fatigue. He has had a particularly heavy workload this year.

Yeah. He isn't sprinting in hard like he used to. Understandbly, he's had a heavy work load. Holding is crying out loud to rest him. Don't won't Shaheen to lose that extra zip

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Haris Rauf releasing all the pressure

 

[indianpanacea]

I have a serious problem with pakista team oneday selection..there are too many bits and pieces players playing.Remembers me of the 90s and early 2000 England team.

 

[Marooned]

Yeah. He isn't sprinting in hard like he used to. Understandbly, he's had a heavy work load. Holding is crying out loud to rest him. Don't won't Shaheen to lose that extra zip

Yeah it's frustrating seeing him mismanaged like this. High quality fast bowlers like him need special care but instead he is being run into the ground.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wasim should've taken the new ball btw. He swings it quite a bit.

This. Rauf is better off bowling in the middle and at the death where his pace will be a threat.

 

[Nasty Naz]

It's hilarious seeing other teams bat in the powerplay and make it look so easy to score.

 

[Shafi]

looks like we will loose this match

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowl tightly these six hitters will throw away their wicket

 

[Marooned]

looks like we will loose this match

Let the spinners come in. It was always going to be about the spinners this chase.

 

[Shafi]

It's hilarious seeing other teams bat in the powerplay and make it look so easy to score.

When you have slogger like Fakhar what can you expect? Block or slog

 

[indianpanacea]

The most deserving 3 players in odi squad are
Kamran Ghulam
Talat Hussain
Agha salman

 

[Shafi]

Agha salman

Talat Hussain is rubbish as well

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need to bring spinners on ASAP

 

[ha5is12]

West indies look like they're batting on a different pitch

 

[Marooned]

Beautiful strokes by brooks.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Our bowlers keep bowling it up and they just keep chipping it over the fielders. Back of length is the way to go.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Wasim JR is not international level imo.

Would play dhani over this fake all rounder.

 

[Marooned]

Talat isn't international standard in white ball. That I can tell you.

 

[NeVerMind]

Getting hammered now....time for the spinners

 

[Omer2002]

Wasim JR is not international level imo.

Would play dhani over this fake all rounder.

I said it b4 he isnt international class hardly lit the world on fire..

 

[Marooned]

Wasim JR is not international level imo.

Dahani is in a different league to Wasim. I don't know how on earth Wasim is ahead in the pecking order.

Wasim is international standard tho and will certainly have a reasonable career imo.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Wasn't this supposed to be a slow pitch where? What is going on. WI scoring runs for fun.

 

[Kroll]

A lot of posters were saying the low total would be enough. But WI power hitters take the pitch out of the equation.

[iRfaN_LA]

Hala lala bowling from Pakistan. Too leg sidish. Shadab is the key here

 

[Amjid Javed]

WI showing pakistan to bat in PP. 275 is 40 runs below par on this wicket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Getting harder to bat with the variable bounce.

 

[imshally81]

Beautiful Cover drive

 

[nextover666666]

OMG windies are on mission it seems outstanding batting by them so far

 

[Nasty Naz]

Brain dead bowling over and over and over and over again. My goodness.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emmm

 

[ha5is12]

He has a tenancy to find a peach of a delivery

 

[NeVerMind]

Junior gets Mayer

 

[Marooned]

Bowled him!!

 

[nextover666666]

WASIM JR. finds a way WICKET at the right time

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good ball by Wasim. Genuinely not convinced by him though but credit where its due he castled him.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Par score can only be determined once our spinners have bowled.

I have a feeling they will strange the windies.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wasim Jr. strikes. Massive damage by WI in the PP though.

 

[imshally81]

King gone

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Our spinners will run through them today lads.

 

[Marooned]

There is another!

Peach by nawaz.

 

[Kroll]

Wow what a ball!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Par score can only be determined once our spinners have bowled.

I have a feeling they will strange the windies.

Meant to say strangle not strange lol

 

[Nasty Naz]

Oh my Nawaz. Peach of a delivery.

 

[shamaan]

Beauty of a delivery

 

[nextover666666]

N.A.W.A.Z stirkessss

 

[PakPremi]

Posters panic too much

 

[nextover666666]

If Pooran gets out early you feel Pak should win, Pooran can take the game away

 

[PakPremi]

Wasim jnr has not set world alight but has not been complete rubbish either and already has had some good performances. What do you expect from someone just starting international career.

 

[Marooned]

Let's see how they handle shadab.

 

[NeVerMind]

Give HappyHeart a bowl as well...it's between him and Nawaz for the 2nd spinner all-rounder place for me as both would not be needed in Australia in the WC

 

[Marooned]

Wasim jnr has not set world alight but has not been complete rubbish either and already has had some good performances. What do you expect from someone just starting international career.

He has certainly shown he has something about him. I'm almost sure he will have a career for pakistan.
My only issue is he should not have been picked over Dahani.

I think they see wasim as someone who can be a solid number 9

 

[imshally81]

RR is under 6 first time..
