Pakistan seal comfortable 136-run victory, climb above West Indies to #8 in ODI rankings

[marlonbrowndo]

but why is that not the same with an off spinner? yes, most off spinners don't turn as much as leg spinners but i think we've all seen balls spin like crazy outside the off stump when the ball hits the rough there. so why the different rules for pitching outside off vs. leg stump in terms of LBW?

Turning from off stump at least its in the batsmans eyeline

 

[asadee]

Great sensible stuff from Hasan

 

[zn426]

Fantastic job, a maiden.

Pressure building, hoping for a catch into a Pakistani's hands any ball now.

 

[adil_909]

West indies batting like we used to in the last 2-3 years. They'll get to the 40 over mark with RRR ~ 8.0 and wickets in hand, but then fall apart. This sort of run chase style doesn't work anymore.

 

[Abdullah]

Great sensible stuff from Hasan

Yes though I do agree it's average batting from windies.
If he bowled thosee to quinton de kock ball after ball it would be interesting

 

[adil_909]

Turning from off stump at least its in the batsmans eyeline

Is that really the reason the rule is there? Seems like a good one to overturn to shift the game a little more in the bowler's favor. It's far too much with batsmen these days with silly rules like this.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hasan is a class bowler

 

[troodon]

If Darren Bravo has any shame he would retire after this ODI.

A black mark on WI cricket. Him and Kraig Brathwaite both.

Cricinfo commentator: ''West Indies' lack of intent here has been baffling.''

It's true. They're not even trying to score. Like Pollard in the last game. What's wrong with them?

 

[Salman CricBio]

Good captaincy from Azhar! Brought an off spinner in for a left handed batsman.

 

[ahmadharis1]

I like malik as a bowler, very handy

 

[Salman CricBio]

Poor delivery from Nawaz.

They are just collecting their pay checks.

[GreenTigers]

This is some serious cringeworthy batting display by WI, specially from Bravo.

[GreenTigers]

This game is our pocket, AUS vs SA is more interesting at the moment.

WI are 66/1 (16 ov) Vs. SA are 67/1 (8.4 ov). Sums up everything how a chase should go.

ok boys !!! so I just tuned in after a hard day's work at the office !! What's happening ??? Just saw on cricinfo to find out that we made 300+ Alhamdulliah. Azhar and Babar scored centuries each

Babar is just class Mashallah, can someone tell me how Azhar played and who did the charge at the end etc etc.. Too tired to read cricinfo commentary and report

Need concise answers

 

[Mainul]

Bhai jaan Babar Azam has been playing age group cricket since 12 years old. When a 16 year old Sachin can play international cricket and start excelling, a 15 year old Babar can't play u19 cricket and do well?

I doubt Sachin's age also as like as Hasan Raza. I hope any Indian don't see this comment.

azhar palyed ok a bot slow near his century babar was as usual..no charge at the end sarfaraz was poor..2 bounderies in last 13 overs..

Both played well, specially Babar.

However, last 10 overs were painnnnnful. Nobody charged at all and Sarfu was being Sarfu.

We should've crosses 330+ based on the start and platform Azhar and Babar gave but all went in vain.

Arthur must learn from today's innings that Sarfu cant be send when 10 overs are left.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Maliks bowled very well today

 

[Mainul]

West Indies has revived the bowling carrier of Malik.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Deliveries or Overs ???

 

[zn426]

Indeed, there's wicket #2.

 

[zn426]

Meanwhile, Bravo snailing along, he might eventually get going, but right now he's losing WI the match.

This Inability to lose it at the death could really hurt us against good oppositions - Arthur needs to get this fixed asap

 

[ahmadharis1]

Malik's first ODI wicket since the 3rd match against New Zealand

 

[GreenTigers]

Malik continue to give false hopes as 6th bowling option with his threatening offies.

 

[Mainul]

West Indies has got an Ahmed Shehzad in Craig Brathwaite. Consumes delivery to get in, get to 30s and get out.

 

[Salman CricBio]

Brilliant bowling Malik.

 

[DRsohail]

Deliveries or Overs ???

13 overs and one of it was misfield..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

wanna see Wahab shatter Samuels stumps again

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Looking at the way things are proceeding I would like to congratulate our neighbors on their cleansweep. Hope you guys manage to emulate this in Australia!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wahab making samuels look ordinary again, its a shame malik got Brathwaite out as he was batting like a snail and W.I were going nowhere.

 

[GreenTigers]

This Inability to lose it at the death could really hurt us against good oppositions - Arthur needs to get this fixed asap

True, AUS, SA, NZ, ENG and IND will chase this total by 46th over.

Again, the problem is that we've too many one dimensional players from 4 to 7/8. Nobody can hit boundaries at will.

Many here were vouching for Umar, but it would be unfair with Rizwan to be dropped without being given proper chance. Maybe both Umar and Rizwan could be given equal no.of games and see who performs better.

On contrary, Imad cant be dropped, because he's being among wickets and based on his form with the bat, especially in ENG - so fair enough selection.

However, I would replace Nawaz with Amir Yamin OR Amad Butt, because he comes at no.8 and totally doesn't possess game for that number.

 

[Mainul]

Deliveries or Overs ???

Pakistan did a Bangladesh today. Bangladesh made 279/8 in 50 overs from being 212/2 after 38 overs against Afghanistan.Pakistan was 238/2 after 38 and reached 306.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Brilliant fielding by Nawaz! stopped 2 runs!

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I 83/2 After 20 overs.. game nicely balanced.

 

[asadee]

Good ground fielding today

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Surgical Strike by

 

[asadee]

Out

 

[Taaya]

Why doesn't Wahab bowl this length more often? He bowls short aimlessly too often.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Typical Wahab Riaz, warned for running in the danger zone then takes a wicket, totally unpredictable

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beautiful bowling from wahab throughout the series

 

[troodon]

Riaz should not have gotten Bravo out.

I wanted to see Bravo score 50(150)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wahab takes out bravo! excellent pace bowling.

 

[Mainul]

That one tiny wicket reassured Wahab's place in ODI side.Celebrating that wicket will be embarrassing for the Pakistanis.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Malik keeping it tight from one hand whilst Wahab cranking it up from the other - fantastic example of hunting in pairs & putting the opposition under pressure mashallah!!

 

[Sadevdesai]

Match over !!!

 

[ahmadharis1]

shoaib malik is my favorite player

 

[TalhaSyed]

Viv on commentary & Ramdin out in the middle #awkward #TalkNahViv

I called it first!!

 

[Salman CricBio]

I am really not watching Pakistan v West Indies. Enjoying the protea chase.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should win the game from here.

 

[Lynx]

They are just collecting their pay checks.

Yes, they're a disgrace to the sport. Should be banned imo, until these players sort their issues out with their board or whatever it is that's making them perform this way.

 

[desirous of desire]

I like how rizwan pounces upon the wickets like a hawk

 

[Logical]

Azhar shouldnt bowl Wahab for long spells, been happening all series. For all the hate he gets, he is the only express bowler in the country, needs to be used wisely.

 

[Hamza_]

Our next ODI is in 2017

 

[Mainul]

Why doesn't Wahab bowl this length more often? He bowls short aimlessly too often.

One or two boundaries can change his length any time.

 

[FreakCricket]

I like how rizwan pounces upon the wickets like a hawk

i think thats his only role right now

 

[ahmadharis1]

would've liked to see sarfraz rested, he's been playing every match.

 

[mz123]

watta catch

 

[adil_909]

windies should either attack or get out, match is going nowhere

 

[GreenTigers]

Pollard gone, bye bye WI.

 

[ahmadharis1]

that catch has me like http://imgur.com/gallery/7lZwLKc

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Pollard is trash

This clown Pollard should be kicked out of WI team immediately.

 

[heddie19]

The age of Babar Azam.....

He will turn 22 on 15th October. And he played in 2009 under 19 tri series at the age of 15!LOL.Subcontinent countries are master of making anybody younger.

No need to get jealous of babar azam. He got into u19 team just after playing u15. he was that impressive and his age is not tempered like afridi etc. I can bet on it

 

[Rayyman]

Dropped by Rizwan

 

[Hamza_]

What a ball by Sohail. Jaffa

 

[Uzair Gooner]

great seam position from Sohail Khan, he is still getting it to swing

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Its Mickey Arthur Rameez not Mickey Stuart

 

[Hamza_]

Who will they drop now to play Aamir?

 

[Rayyman]

Reverse swing from Sohail Khan.
