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

[Oxy]

Is this Brendan Nash's debut?

 

[Imran_m]

I swear I thought that white guy was there coach or something.

 

[Oxy]

157-1 off 27 overs

 

[volcyz]

Wish to see Gayle partnering Sehwag or Jayasuriya at their best... mouth watering prospects....

 

[volcyz]

Is this Brendan Nash's debut?

He played against Canada

 

[Raz]

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

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

Started off well, with some very good bowling from Tanvir and also from Rauf.
Then Gayle exploded, Rauf was taken to the cleaners and Malik's poor captaincy meant the spinners were only brought on during the third powerplay.

 

[Oxy]

163-1 off 28 overs

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Well maybe Harby can turn it a mile on this pitch too ...

Malik was always able to turn the ball alot but he hasn't got the variation to be a wicket taking bowler after he was disallowed from bowling the doosra

 

[Muhammad]

Is this Brendan Nash's debut?

First white player for the Windies since Greenidge in the 70's I believe.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

the run rate is not out of reach.spinners are doing a good job.

 

[jusarrived]

Wish to see Gayle partnering Sehwag or Jayasuriya at their best... mouth watering prospects....

& I wish the pair plays all 50 overs that day

 

[Oxy]

Gayle on 99*

Thanks Raz. Therefore a bit surprised that Alam hasnt bowled yet.

 

[161]

This is all Shoaib Akhtar's fault.

 

[Raz]

No pressure being exerted by Malik's pathetic captaincy, fielders are well spread and singles are being given as freebies.

 

[Oxy]

And there it is :aiqbal

100* for Badshah Gayle

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Gayle - 100*

 

[NeVerMind]

Gayle brings up his 100 with still 20 overs to go...A century and a million in the bank in the same month...that's a great month!

 

[Raz]

Well with 3 spin options, you would have thought that Malik would have recognised that the spinners should be brought on earlier, but I guess that's asking a lot. He overbowled Rauf, who continued to be carted around and generally was very hasty in making field changes, changing positions almost after every delivery/boundary.

 

[sehban]

173/1 30

 

[Oxy]

173-1 off 30 overs

Time for a cup of teaa

Great player!

 

[Oxy]

Run Out opportunity missed - slight fumble I think

 

[NeVerMind]

The camera keeps panning on the white guy among the WI players...i guess the cameraman is wondering just like us 'Who the hell is he and what is he doing with the West Indians??'

 

[sehban]

177/1 31

 

[natalia]

Current run rate of 5.71 will take Windies to 285... but I see that 8/over ending to take Windies to around 330 coming

 

[b0wld]

Why isnt Mansoor Ajmal not playing i mean comon this wicket is tailor made for spinners..Malik you douche bag.

 

[darkmoon459]

well played Gayle now go ahead and get a 200 .

 

[jusarrived]

sarawan already has scored 36 , wow dint realize its been that long hes come to bat !

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Great player!

Oxy bhai, kya kahte ho ...... can he break Anwar's record ?

 

[NeVerMind]

Why isnt Mansoor Ajmal not playing i mean comon this wicket is tailor made for spinners..Malik you douche bag.

perhaps it's because he is not in the squad?

I think you meant Saeed Ajmal? But that would mean dropping Afridi and if that happens, there will be an uproar!

 

[Saj]

I believe that may be Brendon Nash.

[Oxy]

Gayle run out??? Afridi pleads for a referral to 3rd ump.

Only in by about 2 yards mate!

 

[Sparhawk]

Afridi's bowling beautifully to Sarwan.

 

[jusarrived]

akmal seems to get very excited when he gathers the ball cleanly !

 

[NeVerMind]

I believe that may be Brendon Nash.

ahh so that's Brendon Nash...Yup, I see him here...

You'd think that with 'all that nonsense' that KP was on about, it might mess with their heads...

Slazenger did well in finding a shirt that fits Inti!
