Pressure will be intense chasing.

 

[Poison]

Dew factor will help us - no reverse

 

[SameerP]

Rampaul was amazing against India, took 5 big wickets

 

[talha3]

Darren Sammy couldn't help express his delight at winning the toss, like a child given candy. That's how much it meant to him.

Shane warne on twitter:


I think west indies will cause an upset tonight and beat Pakistan ! Gayle - big runs... Tomorrow Ind v aus - tie !!!!

 

[talha3]

Ajmal is IN. Razzaq maybe up the order.

 

[Bilal.0]

won toss & batted 2007-2011 20 9 10

Thats the history on this ground. Teams who have won the toss and batted have won 9 times and lost 10 times. So here you go, we are ahead already.

 

[oracleg]

No Suleiman Benn which is a huge bonus. Doubt Hafeez and Akmal would have dealt with him, especially while chasing.

We should be able to chase down anything below 250 with the bowling line up they've selected.

 

[imshally81]

bishoo is dangerous for us

 

[Sledger]

Mystic Shane can't always be right.

 

[Obeid]

crowd stinks...was hoping for a bigger crowd

 

[imshally81]

no problem... we can chase 300 here...... also don't forget the dew factor in 2nd inningz

 

[hur rizvi]

Because of Toss ...

It is Advantage W.I

 

[Sledger]

Chasing teams have won a large proportion of the games here.

 

[mastermind_quad]

260-270 par score

 

[AZ]

Jeevay Jeevay PAKISTAN!

:mrpak Jeevay Jeevay PAKISTAN! :mrpak

Jeevay Jeevay PAKISTAN!

:mrpak Jeevay Jeevay PAKISTAN! :mrpak

 

[hur rizvi]

We cant chase even 250 ....

Anything above 250 will be dangerous

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[mastermind_quad]

batting 2nd is actually easy here ....No worry guys

 

[Sledger]

:mrpak

omg.. )

 

[acer]

Pak half lost.viva windies

 

[goldleaf]

Who's gonna open the bowling for us?

 

[Sledger]

Wonder if Ajmal will take the new ball..

 

[smoothcriminal]

I hope we don't see repeat of 1998 Mini Cricket World Cup match at Dhaka. Similar scenario with West Indies batting first.

 

[ZenBowman]

No Suleiman Benn which is a huge bonus. Doubt Hafeez and Akmal would have dealt with him, especially while chasing.

We should be able to chase down anything below 250 with the bowling line up they've selected.

Rampaul is far, far more dangerous than Benn, the openers tend to play across the line a lot, and Rampaul moves the ball fairly well.

 

[imshally81]

batting 2nd is actually easy here ....No worry guys

@ see hur bhai..... 2nd batting is easy over here

 

[IAJ]

Just heard out of 21 games 14 matches have been won by teams batting second. That should encourage all of us a bit.

Just take Gayle out in the first over!

 

[Blitz]

Pleased Benn is dropped.

With his bounce, all our cutters would have been owned. :kami :umarakmal

Trick missed?

 

[pak4life]

hopefully a good toss to lose

 

[Spiderguy252]

Good luck to both Pakistan and West Indies. But mind you, if the Carribes pile up anything over 250, the fragile looking Pakistani batting line-ip is going to have to bat out of their skins to chase it down.

Great stuff.

So win toss does not equal win game here.

Let's not lost heart, guys.

No Suleiman Benn which is a huge bonus. Doubt Hafeez and Akmal would have dealt with him, especially while chasing.

Agreed. Both Benn and Russell are huge drops for them, big gambles.

crowd stinks...was hoping for a bigger crowd

Give it time

Its a working day there, sadly.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

I personally believe Pakistan is better of chasing than facing up front confident Roach and Rampaul duo on a pitch with bit of moisture and grass on top of it.

 

[Free Hit]

yes. Saeed Ajmal in

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Afridi seemed nervous.

 

[ZenBowman]

Windies are going to need 250+ to put up a fight here, maybe Gayle will finally earn some points for my fantasy team....

 

[Random Aussie]

Good luck to Pakistan and all the PPer's tonight!

Will be following with interest.....

 

[12cavalry]

dude my stomach feels weird...

gettin too old for this

 

[imshally81]

hopefully a good toss to lose

blessing is disguise

 

[pwarekar]

Gayle, Chanderpaul and Roach come in for Edwards, Benn and Andre Russell

Droping Benn Surprising!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Russell and Benn are big drops for WI because Benn has been superb in sub-continent so far and may be Rampaul has got wickets up front in his very first outing against India but Russell has done more than enough to guarantee a place in QF playing 11.

 

[jusarrived]

huge toss to win for WI , considering both teams are poor chasing .

65:35 in favor of WI for me

 

[Afridi_Fan]

All of a sudden, I'm not nervous anymore. Why?

 

[MRSN]

Dew will have its bad effects on bowling so it was a good toss to lose though we should bowl WI out under 200.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

who is nervous

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

All of a sudden, I'm not nervous anymore. Why?

Jeetay ga bhai jeetay gaa PAKISTAN JEETAY GAA.INSHALLAH.

 

[jusarrived]

Russel dropped ? thats pretty stupid from WI ..Rampaul has had just one good good game

 

[Blitz]

dude my stomach feels weird...

gettin too old for this

Butterflies

 

[pwarekar]

Good luck to Pakistan and all the PPer's tonight!

Will be following with interest.....

Where were you when pakistan halts australian winning express?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

All of a sudden, I'm not nervous anymore. Why?

Because WI won the toss

 

[imshally81]

Rampul 5 wicketz against india

[PerfectionPersonified]

tonight i am set to lose 3 kg of my weight watching pakistan chase.......ohh nervous

 

[Blitz]

If :kami drops anything, I'll have a heart attack!

 

[jusarrived]

All of a sudden, I'm not nervous anymore. Why?

May be cos Pak are not batting .

trust me , it will return in the second innings & it will be worse

 

[Sledger]

Time for the anthems.

 

[Blitz]

National Anthem time!!!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i PRAY PAKISTAN ROLL OUT WINDIES CHEAPLY AND CHASE DOWN THE TARGET.INSHALLAH

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets hope we can bowl well here and restrict W.I to something we can chase later without to much pressure!

Come on Pakistan!

 

[talha3]

National anthem coming up, expecting standard Younis hand on heart.

 

[Krishnan]

Ajmal and gul in fantasy team,dont disappoint guys

 

[sada90]

good ealy morning guys

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Salam brothers! Happy Pakistan Day!

 

[mastermind_quad]

lets start ....Common Gul

Oops its Anthem time 1st

 

[SameerP]

Not a huge crowd yet but it's filling up slowly

 

[MIG]

West Indies will self destruct in 1 hrs time.

 

[oracleg]

What anthem do they play for the Windies?

 

[cricketpassion]

Bismillah .

Aslam o Alaikum everyone .

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Cmon pakistan

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Walaikum salam.

 

[Sledger]

Doesn't look like much of a crowd in.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

ya Allah khair farmah.

 

[afridi_captain]

Ajmal is a good inclusion I think. Like the afridi said about razaq batting higher. But am very nervous about today.

 

[Sledger]

Gayle looking PUMPED!!!!!

.. AKA completely expressionless.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully we can get dangerman Gayle out early!

hes scored 2 hundreds in last 3 inns against us!

 

[12cavalry]

I thought the Windies anthem would be a little more reggae

 

[bilz2k10]

Restrict them to 220-230 then the game is ours! PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

 

[Sledger]

Razzaq coming higher probably just means ahead of Afridi. I can't see him in the top 5.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Get gayle earlyy,

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mr 007

 

[Blitz]

I was singing along!!!


COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
