Pakistan v West Indies | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 12/11/08 | PAK Innings

[Muddaser]

congrats to PAK! GREAT match........one of the best odis, I have seen in a long time.

I guess it's a firm assessment if one says Afridi is only in the team 'coz his bowling skills


RS. 1 million -- is that in Pakistani currency or Indian? What is it equivalent to dollars?

Much weaker.

Its 80 rupees to a dollar at the moment.

Malik and Akmal won the match for us. I was pleasantly surprised to see Akmal hit sixes of Jerome Taylor. I always felt he lacked the ability to do so against fast bowlers. Just one mistake and match gone, feel bad for Taylor and the West Indians.

Really? Wasn't it him who hit those hatrick of sixes in the last three balls of an ODI v WI, against a pacer?

Don't. I imagine they''re still quite chuffed about being millionaires.

That's still about $12,500. That's good money for 9 balls work.

Brilliant win.

We did superbly to restrain the Windies after that Gayle onslaught, and lost our way with the bat for a bit, but Malik played an absolutely crucial innings under pressure, and Akmal's power-hitting at the end scripted an almost impossible win. What was refreshing to see was our running between the wickets and fielding - it was much better than usual. All round performance - well done to everyone.

Great stuff!

akmal got bowled and it was a no ball but lookin at it it look like harsh call but whatever we still won and kamy is a sick player

Was it a 50-50 judgement call or clear no ball?

 

[SalaamPakistan]

haha..where are you Sultan Yousuf...what do u wanna say about Maliks performance today.. Malik made a Papad out of you

If he was in Peshawar, would have been crucified by real Pathan log!

Gayle was too good. I wish WI will win the second match. Gayle could end up with the most 100s. Look at his record. 187 matches and 17 hundreds. tendulkar, punter and Jayasuriya and then he will be on the top. http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/282935.html

Ian Bradshaw, a 76 mph yorker, 77 mph yorker, 81 mph yorker. And that was ages ago sometime in May 2005. The only other time i saw him do it was against Sreesanth in the IPL.

It was a pleasant surprise to see him do it when we really needed it today but i still lack the confidence in him to do it everytime. Some like Abdul Razzaq is more trust worthy or Afridi when he is opening the innings.

 

[SalaamPakistan]

Kamran able to adapt Taylor easily well. His 3'sixes' in last three balls were witnessed in West Indies 2005 i think, but it was against the same fast bowler, a Taylor

Well played Akmal.
Well played Captain Shoaib.
Well played Khurram and Alam.
Well played Tanvir.

Solid batting.

Afridi needs to be dropped for a few series to get his hunger back.

 

[priory_o_sion]

Congrats PAK- Great Team Performance
Congrats Akmal- DreamStuff
Congrats Shoib the Captain
Congrats New Comer Khurram

But I really do not know what to say about the "Beast". He could not even maintain the strike Rate.
