Pakistan v West Indies | 3rd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 16/11/08 | Pak Innings

[Saj]

259 going into the last over is not a bad effort, but really if Pakistan had batted with a bit more urgency 300 was on here.

 

[Asad7]

akkkkkki the new king

 

[Boi]

out of here!

 

[Inswinger]

What just happened?

 

[SalaamPakistan]

Another Six? Wow


Kamran The Badshah In!

 

[Sparhawk]

I think the ball grazed the ground. Not out is my call.

 

[lollol]

Dropped!!!

 

[Inswinger]

It seems that the ball touched the ground.

 

[Pak_NM]

KAMI the real beast

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Kya Baat hain, Kammo.

 

[kablooee87]

What the hell is wrong with shoaib malik's brain ? Why would be not promoted afridi ahead of himself. Younis and misbah has played professionally but somewhat slowly. Afridi is out of touch with the bat and needed to be promoted early ahead of malik. Is the wicket slow ? sorry i have just started following the match live on cricinfo so i can't figure out why the general sluggishness.

Mind boggling. It really is.

Afridi screws up and it's Malik's fault.

Notice the wording: Afridi..needed. Not what the team needed. Let's accommodate Afridi, always.

 

[Inswinger]

Not out!

 

[Sparhawk]

What just happened?

Fielder caught Akmal at the boundary but it may not have been clean, referred to 3rd ump.

 

[Saj]

referred to the 3rd umpire.

 

[pakistanbest]

Shoukd Be Not Out

 

[lollol]

Omg Akmal )

 

[Inswinger]

4 more for Kami!!!!

 

[Boi]

!

Akmal on fire!!

 

[mamoo gogo]

FOUR by KAMI!

 

[Asad7]

not out given

 

[Sparhawk]

Taylor's getting really spanked, his hands must be shaking.

 

[Inswinger]

Now this is what you call big hitting under pressure!!!!

 

[mamoo gogo]

Misbah should be able to achieve his goal: Century or Not Out...

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Last 10 overs: 97 runs 3 wickets. Typical Pakistani team

 

[Asad7]

kami cheetah

 

[Inswinger]

We need 2 sixes from Misbah here!!!!

 

[Hash]

Kamran is the new beast I think

 

[Bilsher007]

So fellas what score is going to be a winning one on this wicket ?

 

[Pak_NM]

 

[Asad7]

sarfaraz wont be happy to see this

 

[Boi]

Misbah plays an awkward shot

 

[Inswinger]

Swing and a miss by Misbah. Kami on strike for the last ball.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Kammo is the 'Beast of the Match'.

 

[Sparhawk]

Slower ball missed by Misbah.

Might see another slower ball to Kami.

 

[Boi]

Gone!!

Akmal

 

[lollol]

273-6

 

[Pak_NM]

mon a last ball six

 

[Sparhawk]

Got 99 runs in the last 10 overs, pretty good in the end.

 

[Inswinger]

Bowled him but Kami did his job. He gave us the boost we needed.

273 is the total. Should be an interesting chase!!

 

[bdchamp20]

Kamran could easily play as a batsman at #6 and Sarfraz can play as keeper. And well Afridi should be dropped.

 

[Boi]

273-6 after 50 over!

Good Batting today!

Could of got more!

 

[kablooee87]

Props to Akmal. Saved us at the end there.

 

[Pak_NM]

mon a last ball six

damn .

Good competitive score in the end imo. Will be tough to chase under lights on a slow pitch with a big outfield.

 

[Asad7]

well played yk, misbah and kami

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Kammo OUT of the last ball of the match, doesn't matter. He did his job perfectly.

 

[undisputed]

slow batting throught the middle overs if this does indeed cost pakistan the match today it will be really disapointing so lets just hope they win.

 

[Sparhawk]

Kamran could easily play as a batsman at #6 and Sarfraz can play as keeper. And well Afridi should be dropped.

Afridi's a crucial bowler in the middle overs. Id rather play this same team but drop Ajmal for Sarfaraz.

 

[pakistanbest]

Akmal realy has improved his hitting

 

[Inswinger]

Time for some T20 action.

 

[NeVerMind]

Akmal showing Afridi how you can make an impact with only a few overs to go...the only criticism I have of Malik is that he should have sent the man in form aka Akmal ahead of Afridi but that would have most of PPers here baying for his blood (which they are still doing...)

true but many wont agree

 

[Bilsher007]

With afridi's dismal performance in recent times with bat and ball i believe it is time to drop him and pick fawad alam regularly in his place or yasir arafat. Both fawad and yasir are all rounders and their inclusion would bring a good balance to the team in long run. Fawad is defintely a specialist batsman who when need can blast off as we saw in a 2020 tornament held recently where pakistan lost to sri lanka in the final. Yasir arafat is similar to razzak with regards to his batting and a better bowler than razzak. How more long will pakistan selectors keep some seasoned players in team who now are out of form.

 

[Matic]

Tanvir v Gayle = Round 3

 

[hashman]

good start so far by tanvir

 

[hashman]

1-0 after 1 over
