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

[Oxy]

3 rd boundary of the over

32-0

 

[Sheikh]

This is bad bowling; predictable and one-paced.

Have to mix it up a bit Mr Rauf.

Gayle welcoming him to international cricket.

 

[Oxy]

MAke it 36-0 off 7.4

Rauf getting tonked

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another boundary by Gayle.

 

[Keith]

4th

 

[Oxy]

Gayle guides it down 3rd man - for 4

40-0

 

[Sparhawk]

Ok that wasnt a bad delivery, just a great shot.

 

[Keith]

8 overs. 41/0

 

[Poison]

bring back

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Consecutive 4's .... Chris Gayle on fire.

 

[Oxy]

17 off that Rauf over

41-8 off 8

Run rate climbing rapidly

 

[Sheikh]

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

He's changed it after every boundary. Typical reactionary stuff.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Whoaaaa Gayle ...

 

[volcyz]

Seriously Rao is better than Rauf at containing.
Rao has rarely disappointed albeit he is not very threatening

 

[Poison]

He's very watchful against Tanvir.
What a Champ

 

[Oxy]

Another boundary - GAyle after TAnvir

He moves to 36

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

What's going on !!!! Another 4 ....

 

[Sparhawk]

bring back

Hes not playing but will soon take care of things.

 

[Poison]

He's changed it after every boundary. Typical reactionary stuff.

Would kinda kill a bowler's confidence aye?

 

[Oxy]

Malik veryy REACTIVE - virtually changing the field settings every ball!

 

[undisputed]

pakistan getin killed

 

[Sparhawk]

Seriously Rao is better than Rauf at containing.
Rao has rarely disappointed albeit he is not very threatening

Yep Rao should replace Rauf immediately.

 

[Poison]

Hes not playing but will soon take care of things.

"take care" my friend, is a gross understatement.

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

dont worry guys. Its the initial fizz. After gayle no one else is gonna score runs

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Tanvir much harder to hit because he is actually swinging the ball.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Giving room to Gayle is like asking for trouble. The one way to keep him quite is to maintain line & length.

 

[Sheikh]

I'd say bring on a spinner; either Afridi or Malik himself.

Gayle is far less comfortable against spin.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

dont worry guys. Its the initial fizz. After gayle no one else is gonna score runs

Sarwan and Chanderpaul are 2 guys who need to pull their socks and perform well, if West Indies wants to put on a good total.

 

[Sheikh]

pakistan getin killed

Uhhhh, no.

46-0 after 9 is a good start by the Windies, nothing more, nothing less.

96-0 after 9 would be an initial killing.

 

[Muhammad]

Giving room to Gayle is like asking for trouble. The one way to keep him quite is to maintain line & length.

No I think if you want to keep him quiet then keep him off strike!

 

[volcyz]

dont worry guys. Its the initial fizz. After gayle no one else is gonna score runs

lol they have sarwan, X - Man, and Chanderpaul!

 

[Sparhawk]

Gul replaces Rauf, that works too. Actually should be an interesting contest: Gul vs Gayle!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gul into the attack.

 

[undisputed]

marhsall is yet to come and he is a big hitter

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

Sarwan and Chanderpaul are 2 guys who need to pull their socks and perform well, if West Indies wants to put on a good total.

Chanderpaul is the guy who is responsible for rearguard action

 

[Poison]

Tennis ball bounce .

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gayle's partner is creating history here ......... 5 off 28 balls in an ODI match.

 

[Sparhawk]

Gul attempts a bouncer, not short enough.. smacked for 6!

We need to control this guy.

 

[Keith]

gul on, gul gone for a huge 6

[Bublu Bhuyan]

SIX by Gayle.

 

[Sparhawk]

marhsall is yet to come and he is a big hitter

I think he'l struggle against afridi.

 

[Oxy]

Gayle is awesome!!

Another SIXER!

59-0

 

[161]

This is all Shoaib's fault !

 

[Sheikh]

A couple of cracking shots by Gayle.

This pitch is a road though.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Another SIX !!!!!!!!!!

 

[undisputed]

Uhhhh, no.

46-0 after 9 is a good start by the Windies, nothing more, nothing less.

96-0 after 9 would be an initial killing.

that's because gayle's partner been eating the balls but if you look at gayle's score at the moment yes he is killing pakistan

 

[Keith]

another 6, 2 in a row. This is poor bowling, short and too straight!!!! DO NOT BLAME THE CAPTAIN PLEASE

 

[Oxy]

Gul now getting smashed.

Waqar is speechless (in a Waqar sort of way!)

 

[Sparhawk]

Hes just smashing the ball at will now. I say keep Tanvir on for another couple, maybe the swing will beat Gayle.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Pakistan, concentrate on this man Gayle or else he'll further rip you off.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Gul took the pace off the ball for the last couple of deliveries.

 

[Raz]

Gul now getting smashed.

Waqar is speechless (in a Waqar sort of way!)

Waqar was having an orgasm, was embarassing to hear him

 

[Oxy]

59-0 off 10 overs

Gayle 49*

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

49 (33)
5(28)

) thats the scorecard

 

[Oxy]

Who is the goon at the other end of Gayle

 

[Sheikh]

Just bring on a spinner. As mentioned, Gayle struggles against spin because he doesn't use his feet.

 

[Oxy]

NOw Goon hitrs a 4!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

seems like the ball has stopped swinging now.

 

[moumotta]

Who is the goon at the other end of Gayle

Chattergoon, will he field near stump mics. Let us see if he can live up to his name.

 

[Sheikh]

Btw, can someone tell me when the first drinks break is?

That's when I'll be making my dash from work!

 

[Oxy]

DAmn - CHattergoon has awoken from his slumber!

Another 4

67-0

Denting Tanvir's stats

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

We need the Constrictor.

 

[Savak]

Didnt i say it was essential to dismiss Gayle early? Sometimes i hate being proven right.

 

[Poison]

Pitch seems like a road after the initial swing.

 

[the Great Khan]

LOL..so now we're getting tonked too..just great..just shows shy medium pace trundlers like raif should stay in domestic cricket..rather see sohail khan than this..

 

[Sparhawk]

We need the Constrictor.

I'll make the call.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

) ) Waqar!!

"we are in the middle of nowhere if you ask me"

 

[Sheikh]

Didnt i say it was essential to dismiss Gayle early? Sometimes i hate being proven right.

Talk about stating the obvious.

 

[undisputed]

bad start from pakistan i think spin will need to be required very soon

 

[volcyz]

Sehwag and Ghambir would love to bat against this attack on this pitch.
So spine-tingling....

 

[Sparhawk]

Gayle seems nervous 49.

 

[Poison]

I think we will be chasing 341 today, and we'll get it.

 

[Sparhawk]

Thats his 50 off 36 balls. Well played now get out.

 

[Poison]

Gul mixing up his pace extremely well.

 

[Poison]

:younis : Wow.
New word in his vocabulary apparently.

 

[Sheikh]

I think Gayle's gonna throw it away really soon...

 

[Sparhawk]

Good call to keep Tanvir on IMO. Hes the most likely to get Gayle's wicket.

 

[Poison]

Gayle's gettin nervous. He wants run.

 

[TaZ]

Didnt i say it was essential to dismiss Gayle early? Sometimes i hate being proven right.

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