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

[Oxy]

Nice start by Rauf

I heard some fans in the ground

Not bad by Rauf

 

[Raz]

Excellent ball from Rauf, beats Gayle all ends up

 

[Oxy]

LOvely ball by Rauf - Gayle plays & misses

 

[undisputed]

whatever the score pakistan will chase it down

 

[Oxy]

Bit of pace in the pitch!

1st time Ive seen Rauf - looks handy

 

[Keith]

2nd over Rauf

0, 0 (inswing), 1 (quick run, shy at stumps, miss), 0 (beauty, misses outside edge), 0 (bit of bounce), 4 (short, pulled by gayle.)

 

[Oxy]

PUled for 4 - just dropped it a bit short

8-0

 

[Raz]

A typical West Indian shot from Gayle gets Windies their first 4

 

[undisputed]

pakistan is capable of chasing even 300+

 

[Oxy]

Akhtra looking a bit bigger in all the wrong areas.

Nice over from Tanvir

 

[Oxy]

HAHA!!

Morrison reckons all tkts are sold!!! Where ar ethey all?

9-0 off 3 overs

 

[Raz]

Outswinger from Tanvir

 

[Sheikh]

A couple of beautiful away swingers from Tanvir.

Looks like he's added to his armory.

 

[Raz]

9-0 after 3 overs

 

[lollol]

Now lets see how GEO handle their coverage when compared to ARY.

They havent missed any delivery yet

 

[Raz]

135.7kph from Rauf

 

[sy]

Good outswingers from Tanvir, got both batsmen playing and missing.

 

[Oxy]

Impressive start from Rauf

 

[DonJee]

Now lets see how GEO handle their coverage when compared to ARY.

They havent missed any delivery yet

And they don't appear to have an add scrolling about after EVERY 4 or 6 and no ads in the middle of the over, so far very good i must say!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Morrison reckons all tkts are sold!!! Where ar ethey all?

He was talking about the game on Friday, since it is the weekend.

 

[Keith]

batters very circumspect. pitch appears to have good pace and bounce. 1 st 4 overs have been good line and length.

280 pitch, anything less should be way too little.

4 overs gone, 10 on board.

 

[Sheikh]

Rauf has the slightest bit of Walsh about him.

 

[Raz]

Just the single from that Rauf over, very good bowling

10-0 after 4 overs

 

[Keith]

tanvir 4.1 126 km/h, 4.2 125km/h

 

[Poison]

Superb stream Donkey.

 

[Raz]

Malik takes the 2nd slip out and puts in a short mid wicket

 

[DonJee]

Let Afridi come out, they flock in from all corners of the universe!

 

[Keith]

tanvir 4.3 130km/h, 4.4 127km/h

 

[DonJee]

Superb stream Donkey.

Yaar DonJee ko Donkey keyon bana diya...sharam karo!

 

[Sparhawk]

Slow start from WI, might be the plan to not lose any wickets at the start and them push on. But they'l have to contend with afridi in the middle overs so the plan might backfire.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gayle needs to play his natural attacking game. I believe he's West Indies's key performer with the bat.

 

[lollol]

Yaar DonJee ko Donkey keyon bana diya...sharam karo!

) )

But seriously, very good stream!! Are u the streamer?

 

[Poison]

Sorry DonJee

 

[Oxy]

Now lets see how GEO handle their coverage when compared to ARY.

They havent missed any delivery yet

- They didnt miss the toss
- They started on time
- They remember to cover it!!!

 

[Keith]

5 overs 11/0

 

[Raz]

11-0 after 5 overs

 

[Sheikh]

This is impressive stuff by Tanvir. He's swung the ball both ways and done it with control.

Unlucky to have not picked up a wicket so far.

 

[DonJee]

) )

But seriously, very good stream!! Are u the streamer?

LOL with 512kb broadband I'm hardly gna stream like that...nah I haven't a clue who is streaming this, bus chalti rahay kaafi hai..

 

[lollol]

- They didnt miss the toss
- They started on time
- They remember to cover it!!!

- Quality is good/normal

 

[deathstreak]

Kamran Akmal is back ?????

 

[Keith]

good field placings by malik. bowlers are bowling to the field.

 

[Poison]

Anyone else noticing how outstandingly beautiful this ground is?

 

[Savak]

Tanvir is capable of bowling at 130 km/hr plus. He needs to up his pace. Swing becomes deadly with some pace behind it.

 

[lollol]

This is impressive stuff by Tanvir. He's swung the ball both ways and done it with control.

Unlucky to have not picked up a wicket so far.

That was surprising, as he used to swing the ball miles without control. But now he has more control over it. Good sign

 

[Sheikh]

You know, with Misbah and Younis in the slips, and Fawad, Malik, and Afridi on the off side, that's probably the best fielding combination I've seen us put out there in a long time.

 

[Keith]

huge 6 by gayle!!!!

 

[lollol]

Gayle is getting into it!!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Animal-six by Gayle from nowhere.

 

[Sparhawk]

Huge 6666666 by Gayle, he made that look too easy. Now we need his wicket.

 

[Raz]

That came out of nowhere from Gayle!!

 

[Keith]

great shot for 4. 6 gone, 18/0

 

[Poison]

Consecutive boundaries. Stupid Rameez jinxed it.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Wow, SIXXXXXXXXXXXXX !!

 

[DonJee]

That must hurrt, a 4 and a 6!!!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another boundary.

 

[volcyz]

Pak pace attack will not penetrate

 

[Sparhawk]

Suddenly the run rate jumps from 2 to almost 4/over.

 

[Poison]

Tremendous bowling from Tanvir

 

[Sheikh]

Yup, Gayle's had enough of it. Would like to see him take on Tanvir though; that would be a good battle.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I tell you folks, this Gayle is one ruthless batsman who have the ability to do very harmful damage in very little time. From Pakistan's perspective they need to take his prized wicket.

 

[Oxy]

Gayle looking a million dollars at the moment

 

[Keith]

7 overs. 24/0

 

[Raz]

2 runs from that over, 24-0 after 7

 

[Poison]

This stupid English commentator is calling Gul; GULL.

 

[Oxy]

Is that a UFO hovering over the stadium???

 

[Keith]

dismissive by gayle, 4

 

[Raz]

Another pull Calypso style and another 4

 

[Oxy]

What a short arm jab for 4!

Gayle on fire!

 

[Poison]

Gayle looking a million dollars at the moment

Dont you mean Tanvir?

OMG awesome, Waqar is in the commentary box !

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gayle's partner is at 5 off 27 balls.

 

[Keith]

poor bowling now, too short and too straight another 4

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another by Gayle.

 

[Poison]

Rauf has to keep his cool here ! He's not bowling that poorly.

 

[Oxy]

Bishop & Waqar in the 'comm-box'

There a PACE double to frighten anyone!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Wow, consecutive boundaries.

 

[the Great Khan]

how is cuptaan sahibs cuptaany?

 

[Sheikh]

It's about time Mr Rauf throws in a bouncer.

Gayle loves this length stuff.

 

[Poison]

how is cuptaan sahibs cuptaany?

He changed the field straight after Gayle hit his first boundary. I thought that was poor of him.

 

[Sparhawk]

Rauf continuing to bowl the middle and leg stump line, and Gayle's loving it.

Now a half volley outside off.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

wow Rauf getting some abuse.
