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

[Sheikh_Ji]

Next over to Rao...Next over to Rao....
Give him the chance to take a 5-fer!!!

 

[taqi]

missed hatrick

 

[Oxy]

Scores???

 

[iafzal]

Malik should give next over to Rao.

 

[lollol]

a double wicket maiden at this stage

 

[12thMan]

242-9 - need 32 from 23 balls

 

[dblock]

Also it's pleasing to Pakistan have two frontline bowlers averages 26 in ODI's - I remember 30 was the benchmark for the last few years.

 

[ItsMeK1]

249/9 46.2overs

 

[lollol]

What kind of delivery was that??

PAK WON!!!

 

[ItsMeK1]

tanvir u beauty wid a beauty of yorker

 

[sehban]

pak win by 31 runs

 

[Boi]

!

Pakistan win!

Well Played Pakistan!

 

[Lodhiz]

ALL OVER! Pakistan Zindabad, congratulations to the guys! Very well played, and an excellent series!

 

[12thMan]

Tanno strikes
WI 242 all out. Pakistan wins by 31 runs

 

[observer1]

Tanvir ends it.

I think RAO deserves credit for this Innings. Made the breakthrough and just tore through the Windies Middle order

 

[FAM]

beautiful ball by tanvir

 

[Pak_NM]

Completely agrre with dblock. Gul has been head and shoulders above any bowlers in the world right now in terms of death bowling. He is fastly becoming my favourite player.

A good death bowler is such a good asset to have.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

we winnnnnnnn !1

 

[Asad7]

4th in world ranks now

 

[ItsMeK1]

a double wicket maiden at this stage

they scored 1 on last ball

 

[Boi]

Roa should get MOM

Tanvir should get MOS

 

[lollol]

they scored 1 on last ball

It was a leg-bye, wasnt it?

So that would make it a double wicket maiden

 

[Pak_NM]

And while I was posting that Tanvir bowls a beauty to end it. Great bowling performance today. Ajmal was fantastic, Gul was amazing at the death, Tanvir did well and finally the main man was Roa who tore through the middle order and should have had a fivefer.

 

[Imran_m]

they scored 1 on last ball

Was a leg bye. still termed as a maiden.

 

[Pak_NM]

BTW Gayle should get MOS. Two centuries and some good bowling performances.

oppps i missed that

YK and Misbah did good aswell though more runs would have been good

 

[On_the_up]

Congrats PAK on a 3-0 series win

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Pakkk win 3-0, bringgggggg it onn India

 

[Imran_m]

This windies batting lineup with the exception of Gayle, Sarwan and chanders is jokes, on par with Bangladesh. This series could have easily ended up the other way around had windies had a half decent batting lineup.

 

[Sheikh_Ji]

That last wicket from Tanvir had shades of all over it

 

[Hash]

This windies batting lineup with the exception of Gayle, Sarwan and chanders is jokes, on par with Bangladesh. This series could have easily ended up the other way around had windies had a half decent batting lineup.

)

A bit like saying Kidderminster Harriers could easily win the premiership and the champions league if they had some decent players.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Pakkk win 3-0, bringgggggg it onn India

Hold your horses, India will be 100 times harder than West Indies and we are still lacking a decent opening pair and poor usage of this new powerplay rule..

Anyway congratulations to Pakistan for winning the series, I have enjoyed this fighting spirit in the team!!

 

[Pak_NM]

YK and Misbah did good aswell though more runs would have been good

Yeah they did well. I was just mentioning the boqling though.

 

[iafzal]

Rao should be MOM beacuse when he came WI were on top and at one time were 168/1 and in his next 4 overs he reduced to 177/4 and then 191/5. Just brilliant turned the match that was looking easy for WI .

 

[Lodhiz]

This windies batting lineup with the exception of Gayle, Sarwan and chanders is jokes, on par with Bangladesh. This series could have easily ended up the other way around had windies had a half decent batting lineup.

Lets not be too pessimistic, after all this was the WI (superstars, in which some players are in the current ODI Team) managed to romp to a 10 wicket win against England in the Stanford. And correct me if I am wrong, but they also managed to cause troubles for Australia when they toured WI, so they are much higher in my opinion than Bangladesh.

Full credit to the Pakistan team, a much deserved win in which we waited a long time for...

 

[simran]

congrats 2 all
brilliant innings by Imran Nazir

Wrong thread mate!

The thread for the has-beens is somewhere else

 

[Serendipity]

well done team pak, deserves full credit

 

[lollol]

Gayle gets MOS

 

[Boi]

Gayle is MOS!

 

[bluffmasterv2]

This windies batting lineup with the exception of Gayle, Sarwan and chanders is jokes, on par with Bangladesh. This series could have easily ended up the other way around had windies had a half decent batting lineup.

Completely agreed. This West Indies team is truly pathetic.

 

[lollol]

YK gets MOM

 

[Boi]

YK Gets MOM

 

[Asad7]

YK man of the match

 

[Informer]

Gayle should also the the COS (cheat of the series) awards

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

$5 million cheque for Shoaib Malik.....what for????

 

[Imran_m]

A bit like saying Kidderminster Harriers could easily win the premiership and the champions league if they had some decent players.

No its not the same, Windies requirements are far less than that of Kidderminster.

 

[iafzal]

Even YK new that Pak will be 3 or 4 because of the 3-0 series wins.

 

[Hash]

MOTM should have been Rao

Though Younus played a good innings.

 

[lollol]

I was waiting for malik to say it...

"We are professionals"

After 999 times, it gets boring

 

[iafzal]

It is 5 million ruppees so $63,000.

[NeVerMind]

Malik correctly declares Rao's contribution of 4 wickets as the turning point in the match!

 

[Crucifier]

Brilliant, Abuse by Afridi!

When Pakistan won and Tanvir took the final wicket, Afridi goes up to Gul and give him a little slap. Then after celebrating, Afridi grabs the trophy away from Gul and gives him another two slaps with a smile of this nature:

and you guys wonder why we call him 'The' Beast.
I hope someone recorded it. A rare moment where the beast shows his lighter self, with the same volcanic intentions to cause pain and humiliation on worldwide television.

lol kudos to Gul that he didn't cry like Sreesanth... but that was nice to see that they enjoy each other's company.. but that was funny to see Afridi slap Gul lightly and then Gul wrapping his arm around Afridi's shoulder and laughing

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

hahah , he is amazing , what a character !

 

[Wazeeri]

Afridi grabbed Malik's chin as well and called him "Meri Jaan"

Nice, warm cuddly atmosphere going on,

Long may it continue.

Congrats Pakistan on magnificent whitewash!

PARTY TIME

 

[Indian Pretending to To Be Pakistani]

Hold your horses, India will be 100 times harder than West Indies and we are still lacking a decent opening pair and poor usage of this new powerplay rule..

Anyway congratulations to Pakistan for winning the series, I have enjoyed this fighting spirit in the team!!

to be honest with you, india have to play really well to beat this pakistan team.
