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

[Oxy]

Chanderpaul - he is difficult to get out!

 

[Sheikh]

Good spell by Malik.

 

[maamrut]

Chanders the #1 batsmen in the world currently..things aren't looking good for Pak.

 

[sehban]

well done malik

 

[Salman]

Ouch, not watching this, but even so the scorecard makes for painful reading!

Hows it been going guys? Bad bowling or just good batting?

Abdur bowled too short, eco 9.3 something...

We did start off bowling well... but Gale let loose after te 7th over

 

[Oxy]

201-2 off 36 overs

 

[Oxy]

Gul hit for 4

Sarwan continues after Gayle

205-2

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

guly struggling

 

[Sparhawk]

That was given wide, these umpires are way too harsh. I'm almost certain that was a couple of inches under head height. The message they're giving is either bowl a bouncer at shoulder height or forget about it.

 

[Oxy]

Flashy square cut by SArwan for 4

And his 50 comes up

 

[undisputed]

i hate it when pakistan usually hafto chase like a bangali 150-200 type of score because it's boring but atleast from this high score pakistan will hafto bat more entertaining.

 

[Saj]

Gul has a tendency to try and bang the ball in short when things arent going his way. Poor tactics on wickets such as these.

 

[Sheikh]

Too much width from Gul. He's been erratic today. Not enough yorkers, misdirected short balls, and far too many length deliveries on a very unresponsive surface.

He'll learn.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Batting looks pretty easy especially against pace.

 

[hashman]

Beast takes a wicket

 

[Crucifier]

bEAST STRIKES!



It has started folks, beware. Close the blinds.

 

[Sheikh]

Great take by Akmal and an even better appeal!

 

[sehban]

afridi strikes

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Good take by Kamran.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



Sahibzadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Aafridiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Oxy]

Sarwan given out ct behind

Not too pleased about it.

I also have my doubts

213-3 off 37.3 overs

 

[TruSachFan]

Come on Xaiver Marshall

 

[sehban]

cmmon keep them around 280 then game on

 

[lollol]

That appeal from Akmal )

 

[Oxy]

I dont see the deflection nor hear the nick.

Not out for me

 

[Muhammad]

I dont see the deflection nor hear the nick.

Not out for me

Look in the book son, look in the book!

Big wicket

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

I dont see the deflection nor hear the nick.

Not out for me

It was clearly out!

 

[undisputed]

boom boom takes a wicket big up

 

[Oxy]

Look in the book son, look in the book!

Big wicket

OK Dad...

 

[sehban]

215/3 38 overs couple of wickets now and pak can surely be back

 

[Sheikh]

The Windies will be looking at about 315 here.

We'd do well to keep them to 285.

 

[Crucifier]

That appeal from Akmal )

Is this a stream you're watching? If so, where from bro?

 

[Oxy]

215-3 off 38 overs

 

[itduzz]

Is this a stream you're watching? If so, where from bro?

Geo TV

 

[Sparhawk]

Chanderpaul is difficult to get out but he shouldn't be too difficult to contain in the last 10 overs.

 

[itduzz]

Y is Gul bowling every bowl short....no yorkers yet issed:

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

why was that guy giving the "V"?

 

[volcyz]

Chanderpaul is difficult to get out but he shouldn't be too difficult to contain in the last 10 overs.

This is a guy that scored a blistering 100 against OZ from 67 balls against a genuinely good attack

 

[Oxy]

why was that guy giving the "V"?

V is for 'Very bad beatings ahead for Pak'

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Its a fairly decent crowd now - although everyone is on the grass, nobody in the stands.

 

[Muhammad]

Not much batting to come for the Windies with Bravo outta the side.

 

[Sheikh]

There's the regulation Akmal drop.

 

[hashman]

lol, poor Akmal

 

[Sparhawk]

There he is. I was starting to miss the goold ol' Akmal.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Last 5 ovs 25/2

Pakistan are pulling the game back.....until Rauf comes back that is.....

 

[Oxy]

Kami puts an easy one down

223-3 off 40 overs

 

[Raz]

And Akmal drops a simple catch off Afridi's bowling. Guess that makes it 1-1

 

[Sparhawk]

This is a guy that scored a blistering 100 against OZ from 67 balls against a genuinely good attack

Once upon a time.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Kami does it again...ONE MORE TIME

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Taxi for Kamran Akmal....

 

[Oxy]

Abdul Rauf??? I'd bring on Asad Rauf!

 

[Oxy]

Taxi for Kamran Akmal....

Theres plenty taxi wallahs in the crowd tonight!

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Abdul Rauf??? I'd bring on Asad Rauf!

I would bring on Younis Khan....but, I am not captain of Pakistan cricket team, a non-brainer dud called Shoaib Malik is...

 

[amarmak]

I am sure all our eyes will be popped out when the winies guys will be bowling at 90+ mph

 

[Muhammad]

Kami does it again...ONE MORE TIME

It was tactical, Marshall's stringing the dots together, great tactical alertness from Kami there!

 

[ehjaz]

Theres plenty taxi wallahs in the crowd tonight!

and they sure will do their job

 

[Sheikh]

Woah, look at those jeans.

 

[Muhammad]

I would bring on Younis Khan....but, I am not captain of Pakistan cricket team, a non-brainer dud called Shoaib Malik is...

Surely Fawad should be considered first?

anyway Rauf is back for some more!

 

[Sheikh]

Great shot by Shiv.

Too short, too wide.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Alam should get a bowl..spin was going well

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Surely Fawad should be considered first?

anyway Rauf is back for some more!

Good point, but, you would think someone like Stevie Wonder could see this, but, not our Shoaib Malik....

 

[DM]

Regardless of what he does with the bat, Afridi already justifies his place on that bowling performance alone - one of our best bowlers today. Really wish Akmal had held on to that drop too!

Of course his bat will also do some "talking".

Good bowling from us so far to pull it back - the West Indies haven't done justice to Gayle's century yet.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Malik has 3 ovs each from Tanvir, Rauf and Gul....does that mean he is going leave Fawad Alam to get a spanking in the last over...

Great thinking...

 

[Sheikh]

I am sure all our eyes will be popped out when the winies guys will be bowling at 90+ mph

On this pitch, that'll get to the boundary even quicker. It's about mixing your pace, and varying your length. Haven't seen any reverse either, so pace might not be the answer.

 

[On_the_up]

some one should give dhoni's tel no to malik after the game

 

[undisputed]

six

 

[aali]

any links bros. im dersperate

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

I am wrong sorry..

He is setting up the spanking now for Alam...

Poor Lad

 

[Sheikh]

Fawad should have been brought on earlier. Not sure why he's bowling now when the slog is on.

 

[masterblaster]

fawad bowling and hit for 2 fours already

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

some one should give dhoni's tel no to malik after the game

Knowing Malik he will probably ask for Deepika's number from Dhoni.....

 

[Oxy]

What does Fawad Alam gain from bowling or batting at the death?

He is one hell of an unlucky player!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

why bring on your most inexperienced bowler at the death. He also happens to be a spinner.

 

[aali]

thanks bro. really good of u

 

[Muhammad]

why bring on your most inexperienced bowler at the death. He also happens to be a spinner.

Ridiculous move, he should've perhaps tried Younis?

 

[Sheikh]

Well, that should be the end of that experiment.

 

[DonJee]

That drop catch by our "only wicket-keeper in the country" is going to cost Pakistan big time...AGAIN!!!

 

[Oxy]

246-3 off 42 overs

 

[On_the_up]

Fawad should have been brought on earlier. Not sure why he's bowling now when the slog is on.

cause malik doesn't know his a** from his elbow.

 

[Sparhawk]

Remember, Akmal dropped Marshall just a couple of overs ago.
