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

[DonJee]

We're lookin @ atleast 350+ here!! The more runs the better I'd say, see what Pakistani's batmen are really made of! COMON GAYLE!!!

 

[Poison]

:younis : Gayle hits it really hard. It stays hard.

))

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

At this point we require an imaginative captain that will want to experiment with spinners in the PowerPlay overs but, not our captain..

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

That was a fab slower delivery by Tanvir.

 

[lollol]

Still no wkts & Gayle getting dangerous...

 

[the Great Khan]

I had a dream last night that the windows batted first and scored 344 with Marshall hitting a century..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gayle on fire here! Pakistan spinners may need to be brought on to some how slow things down!

 

[lollol]

Wow, that was MILES in the air )

 

[Savak]

Talk about stating the obvious.

Oh what great cricketing insight. Everyone knows you have to get gayle early?!

Thank you.

 

[Poison]

Umar's pace is down. 130s

 

[TaZ]

get afridi on

 

[Oxy]

I had a dream last night that the windows batted first and scored 344 with Marshall hitting a century..

Microsoft taking over??

 

[Oxy]

Allen STanford's helicopter flies over the stadium....

 

[Oxy]

Rauf back on

4 overs for 33 runs!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

I am surprise to see Gul being the slowest of the trio

 

[Oxy]

Come on Rauf - leg side - and glanced for 4

86-0

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I feel sorry for helpless Malik.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

I wish rauf will bowl well in this spell.

 

[Oxy]

2nd ball - ANOTHER 4

90-0

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Rauf bowling pies.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Consecutive boundaries.

 

[volcyz]

Beautiful stuff by windies

 

[Oxy]

Rauf looking clueless - making CHatergoon look good

 

[undisputed]

disapointing start from pakistan

 

[undisputed]

malik should be replaced as captain

 

[ehjaz]

rauf suxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

We are seriously missing Monsee. Haven't noticed him in the forums for maybe a couple of days now, which is unusual.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

malik should be replaced as captain

Man, what's Malik's fault in the whole scenario ?

 

[undisputed]

akthar missing out today might of hurt us

 

[Legendary_Sage]

It seems as if rauf is under pressure of being getting dropped.

 

[NeVerMind]

Manjrekar hammering the point that Malik should not have taken the second powerplay. I agree, Malik has never been clever with the powerplays...

 

[Savak]

Bowlers like Sohail Khan, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Talha and co should be the ones who should be groomed. Rauf is not a long term option nor is Rao. Dissapointing selections, i must say.

 

[undisputed]

when is spin going to be indroduced?

 

[ehjaz]

malik should be replaced as captain

this Shoaib should have been rested like the other one

 

[Savak]

Manjrekar hammering the point that Malik should not have taken the second powerplay. I agree, Malik has never been clever with the powerplays...

Is Malik clever with anything?

 

[the Great Khan]

rauf delivering mince pies to the goon.. More coming to Gayle later..

 

[Amjid Javed]

300+ Maybe for West indies here?

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Doesn't Malik consult his seniors before making his decisions ? Cuz if he does, then he isn't at fault alone.

 

[pak4life]

the lahore badshahs are currently a stronger side then the main pak team sad to say.

 

[Oxy]

Is Malik clever with anything?

His love-life?

 

[Oxy]

Doesn't Malik consult his seniors before making his decisions ? Cuz if he does, then he isn't at fault alone.

I dont think he respects his seniors

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

when is spin going to be indroduced?

Kuptaan sahib will be back into the attack hopefully.

 

[NeVerMind]

Is Malik clever with anything?

Well I am not a fan of his captaincy but he does bat with responsibility, I'll give him that.

You know who'll I take right now instead of Rauf? Rana with his banana swing!

 

[Oxy]

93-0 off 15 overs

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

On these 15 overs alone you can see how far out of his depth Malik is...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Hello guys,

Time to get the spinners on i feel

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

One thing will be interesting to watch, will Malik bowl himself today ? Cuz if he doesn't, then I guess the allegations about him being afraid to bowl will get even louder.

 

[TaZ]

if we lose to the windies, we deserve to be ranked with the minnows !

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

3rd powerplay on. As per the new rule batting team decided it right?

 

[Oxy]

if we lose to the windies, we deserve to be ranked with the minnows !

We already are ranked with the minnows

 

[volcyz]

Windies are not a bad team at all, they can beat anyteam if they perform well on their day.

 

[Oxy]

On these 15 overs alone you can see how far out of his depth Malik is...

TO quote Waqar.

"In the middle of nowhere...."

 

[Goldbrain]

Hmmm not bad

Is it a batting wicket or bowling?

At the moment it seems a batting wicket

 

[Rudi hater]

WI is not a bad side. But its the first game for Pak after a while and we don't have many match winner like we used to have. Give them a break long way to go yet.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

We already are ranked with the minnows

No you aren't. You defeated us in the Kitply Cup and then handsomely defeated us in an important league game in the Asia Cup. You are far above minnows, and that's an honest opinion.

 

[NeVerMind]

Gul has been lackluster too. Will need the spinners to bring the run rate down...

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see Malik Using the lack of Cricket Excuse if we lose!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Ramnaresh Sarwan is another guy who is really good. He and Shiv are the ones who would have to take over this handsome start given by the openers. The rest aren't that reliable.

 

[Amjid Javed]

West indies to get 320 Is my final Prediction!

 

[volcyz]

I can see Malik Using the lack of Cricket Excuse if we lose!

Anyone can figure that one out .
Malik's personal spin doctor that makes his statements for him, is on eof the most useless.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I can see Malik Using the lack of Cricket Excuse if we lose!

Well, that's not an excuse but that's a fact.

 

[TaZ]

We already are ranked with the minnows

yeah but then we will DESERVE it !

 

[Raz]

Malik continues with Rauf, disappointing captaincy

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Wow, what a brutal shot by Gayle .... another 4.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Six !!!!!!!

 

[Raz]

4 and a 6 just about sums it up

 

[Oxy]

Oh dear!

Gayle clatters that to Bahrain.......SIX!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Rauf career must be finished now.

 

[Goldbrain]

16.3 Abdur Rauf to Gayle, SIX
16.2 Abdur Rauf to Gayle, FOUR, dropped That was pitched short on middle and leg, Gayle took a couple of steps forward and pulled it uppishly straight back past the bowler, who gets a finger to it but is not able to prevent a boundary.

 

[Oxy]

110-0

This is embarrasing stuff so far

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Cricinfo says that 4 to be a dropped chance. Anyone who would try catching it and would do so successfully would have to be a super human.

 

[Oxy]

More crap.

2 more

13 off 5 balls

112-0

 

[Oxy]

Game could be over before KApitaan decides on SPIN !!!

 

[volcyz]

Rauf

 

[Muhammad]

Rauf career must be finished now.

Come on give the guy a fair chance, just one bad day, come up against a quality batsman on fire.

Gul's been slapped too.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

112-0 after 17 overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

Where's Rao when you need him?

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Welcome to the end of the career of Abdur Rauf.....thank Shoaib Malik for this

 

[Easa]

Come on guys, it's a flat pancake wicket and Gayle is quite wild when he gets going.

We can pull this back with the spinners. The wrist-slitting has begun already -- and we're not halfway through the 1st ODI!
