Pakistan V West.Indies "A " 1st ODI

[Amjid Javed]

LONDON: Pakistan would be playing a couple of one-day matches against West Indies A this weekend at Shenley intsead of a two-day game as planned earlier, a Pakistan team official said on Friday.

Team manager Zaheer Abbas told this correspondent that the two teams have agreed to play two 50-over an inning games so that both of them get a better opportunity of providing their batsmen and bowlers with proper practice from the two-day outing beginning from today (Saturday).

He said that the change was brought on the request of the Pakistan team management. Zaheer said that it has also been agreed that there would be no restriction on the number of overs bowled by a bowler in the two matches. Normally, in a one-game a bowler can have a maximum of ten overs in an innings.

Zaheer said that Pakistan’s comeback star Shoaib Akhtar would benefit from the agreement. Shoaib would be playing a game for Pakistan for the first time since the Karachi Test against India in January this year.

[zMario]

No audio commentary?

 

[zMario]

I'm wondering, how a person who is struggling for a place in the test side is captaining Pakistan now )

 

[Daoud]

I'm wondering, how a person who is struggling for a place in the test side is captaining Pakistan now )

Whos captain?

 

[zMario]

Whos captain?

Abdul Razzaq!

 

[Kamranz]

Samiullah Khan

Despite is brilliant performance in all of the practice matches (Samiullah Khan's) he might not even get priority since M Sami and Rao Anjum around.

Those to useless and boring players ( M Sami and Rao Anjum) always get 1st hand priority over young talent from Inzi and stupid management point of view.

 

[zMario]

Well, we dropped him in the last test, so I'm thinking he's trying to fight for a place in the test side, IMO

 

[Nawazb]

I'm wondering, how a person who is struggling for a place in the test side is captaining Pakistan now )

This is a limited overs game and looking at the side only akhtar and razzaq are senior players and razzaq has shown domestically he can be a useful captain in one day cricket.

 

[zMario]

Anybody find an audio link yet?

 

[zMario]

Great bowling by Samiullah, I can see our bowling line up like this (if Rana isn't fit) : Akhtar, Asif, Samiullah (ODIs)

In the tests, I can see it this way : Akthar, Samiullah, Nazir, Kaneria

Drop Faisal, bring in Afridi or Razzaq so the main pace bowlers dont get very tired.

 

[zMario]

And Samiullah got hit for a 4

 

[zMario]

Extras (lb 2, nb 1) 3

^^ Brilliant

 

[zMario]

Afridi on, and hit for 4 first ball

 

[Daoud]

Extras (lb 2, nb 1) 3

^^ Brilliant

It helps that Sami and Gul arent playing

 

[zMario]

9 runs off Afridi's 1st over - Disappointing

 

[zMario]

It helps that Sami and Gul arent playing

Shhh...

 

[zMario]

West Indies A 146/4 in 30.4 overs

 

[Kamranz]

They need another wicket...

 

[zMario]

They need another wicket...

Well, 10 overs left. Looks like we'll be chasing 200, but lets see if Akthar can do a miracle performance. I won't get my hopes high

 

[zMario]

Shoaib is back on!
