Pakistan vs West Indies: 5th ODI, Karachi (Windies Innings)

[Saj]

Gone this time though.

Ramdin caught and bowled by Rehman.

Going back to the chance dropped by Malik. I havent seen too many catches as easy as that one dropped in international cricket.

 

[Asim2Good]

They were shouting his name as he walked off and he waved to them as he left the field - a nice touch from the Karachi crowd

good to know that

 

[iZeeshan]

Well Rehman was bound to get a wicet. God wanted him to.

 

[azcali78]

What an bad catch drop by Malik. I cant belive it. But anyhow not bad afterall Ramdin is gone caught and bowled Rehman. 205-5

 

[the true passionist]

Ramiz :
This should be taken easily. Shoaib malik is a
is a
is a
is a
well crap fielder

 

[Saj]

205 for 5 with 31 balls left.

Windies messing it up a bit here.

 

[Asim2Good]

Malik drops an easy catch... Ramiz calls him a crap fielder!!!

then ramdin out next ball.

typical Pakistani response

 

[the true passionist]

Malik drops an absolute dolly of a catch. Schoolboy stuff there.

Disgraceful,

he was sleeping

 

[the_game]

Saj, that was Malik fielding like a 50 year old. It's like a virus that spreads through the team often in particular matches.

 

[iZeeshan]

Windies were so set and then they screwed up. I was really looking forward to a good and tense chase by Pak.

 

[Saj]

Morton in.

Rehman ends his spell, 10 overs 2 for 39. Another excellent spell of bowling from the left arm spinner.

 

[the true passionist]

Superb by Rehman:

2/39 in 10 overs bowling to Lara and chanderpaul is impressive on a flat deck

 

[Asim2Good]

got feeling Inzi may be fined today
times is over and still 5 overs remaining

 

[Saj]

Impressive bowling from Rana here. Mixing up the slower deliveries here. 2 dot balls

 

[Saj]

driven to deep cover by Chanderpaul.

Rana to bowl to Morton. Got a feeling Rana will get him.

 

[161]

got feeling Inzi may be fined today
times is over and still 5 overs remaining

not his fault shiv and simmons injuries slowed things down.

 

[the true passionist]

got feeling Inzi may be fined today
times is over and still 5 overs remaining

is the time over with the delayed 30 min start from Lahore and Multan?

 

[iZeeshan]

Did Morton just defend that ball in the 45th over?

 

[Sufian]

they shouldnt score more than 240 runs

 

[iZeeshan]

is the time over with the delayed 30 min start from Lahore and Multan?

I don't think so.

 

[161]

Did Morton just defend that ball in the 45th over?

he's getting settled

 

[Saj]

good over by Rana.

208 for 5. 24 deliveries left.

The Lara dismissal was key to Pakistan slowing down the Windies.

 

[Asim2Good]

not his fault shiv and simmons injuries slowed things down.

opps, forgot abt those 2 interruptions

 

[Saj]

Sami onto bowl now.

9 overs 1 for 36 for him so far.

 

[iZeeshan]

he's getting settled

Thats exactly why Smith should be have sent it. Stupid captaincy.

 

[azcali78]

Rana for Man of Series?

 

[Saj]

single to Chanderpaul, followed by a dot ball.

 

[Sufian]

rana and sami played well today, sami had good line and length the whole way

 

[Saj]

clever bowling from Sami. Slower ball - off spinner. No run

 

[Rob H]

1,0,0,0 good stuff from Sami

 

[Saj]

Morton has a huge swing at this one and the ball goes about........3 yards.

No run.

 

[azcali78]

These dot balls will hurt WI big time. Good bowling by Sami. I cant belive it I am saying this....

 

[Saj]

single to mid off for Morton.

only 2 from this over so far.

 

[iZeeshan]

Sami owning Morton.

 

[Rob H]

211/5 off 47. Should be looking at 230

 

[Saj]

1 more to Chanderpaul ends the over

211 for 5. 18 deliveries left.

 

[azcali78]

1,0,0,0 good stuff from Sami

Rob you are not following the WACA game? I feel bad for England and for you.

 

[Sufian]

now shouldnt score more than 230

 

[Saj]

10 overs 1 for 39 for Sami.

Good figures for him.

 

[Saj]

single to Chanderpaul from Rana.

Followed by a missed run out opportunity. Pak do not hit the stumps often enough do they.

 

[Rob H]

Singles will do. I wouldnt try running Morton out as he cannot seem to connect properly.

 

[Rob H]

100 for Chanderpaul. Great innings by the little man from Guyana.

 

[Saj]

4 to Chanderpaul. Full toss flicked to deep square.

100 up for Chanderpaul - well played

 

[Sufian]

last 5 overs, 19 for 2, great work

 

[iZeeshan]

100 for Shiv. Very well played indeed.

 

[Rob H]

Well 100 and out. 217/6

 

[Saj]

gone. short ball by Rana, bent his back, Chanderpaul pulls it to deep square leg - top edge.

Hameed takes it easily. 3rd wicket for Rana the rejuvinated

 

[azcali78]

Rana get Shiv. Caught in deep. 217-6.

 

[Asim2Good]

Saj u r very active today in commentory thread
khairyat to hai na ?

 

[iZeeshan]

And then gone next ball. Rana 3-29

 

[azcali78]

Rana for the MAN.... of the series and RANA is the MAN.

 

[the_game]

Rana's form is so important for us in one dayers. It will be hard to drop him from one dayers now, even if Gul is present in the squad alongwith Akhtar and Asif.

 

[the true passionist]

Rana now has 10 wickets in the 4-match series.

 

[Asim2Good]

well played Shiva and bye bye

 

[Saj]

Dwayne Smith is in.

217 for 6.

Great yorker by Rana - no run.

 

[azcali78]

wow what a ball. dead on the spot

 

[Sufian]

if yousuf does well, he will be the man of the series

 

[Rob H]

great yorker. another dot, 217/6 off 48

 

[Shayan]

2 amazing yorkers from Rana

 

[Saj]

Another great yorker by Rana. Cant do much with that, another dot ball.

217 for 6, 2 overs to go.

Quality bowling from Rana.

 

[iZeeshan]

Absolute wonderous stuff from Rana. The man is BACK!!!

 

[the_game]

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Rana's swinging yorkers at the death are back.

 

[the true passionist]

the important part of rana in this series is that he has also bowled tightly contrary to previous times when he was taking wkts but leaking runs.

 

[Saj]

reverse swing from Gul.

hits the pad, no run.

11 balls left. Pakistan have come back really well since Lara was dismissed.

 

[Saj]

big LBW appeal - going down leg side.

1 leg bye

 

[Saj]

big swing of the bat from Morton, down to long on - 1 run.

Gul needs to bowl it full and straight here, not on a length

 

[Sufian]

so close yaar

 

[Saj]

Full toss, 1 leg bye

 

[Rob H]

What's the betting Smith gets bowled, playing over the top of the ball?

222/6 off 49

 

[Saj]

Good yorker from Gul.

1 run down the ground

 

[Saj]

inswinger. 1 run. End of over 49.

222 for 6

Gul's spell 10 overs 0 for 48

 

[iZeeshan]

Last over...235?

 

[Shayan]

another wicket for Rana, lbw, awesome bowling

 

[Rob H]

lbw i was close enough. Smith once again proves to me how crap he is 222/7.

 

[Saj]

Rana to bowl the last over.

Starts with a wicket.

Inswinging yorker from Rana, hits him on the toe. Absolutely plumb. Smith gone

 

[azcali78]

Rana gets smith LBW. 4 for him.

 

[cricketcrazy]

another one for RANA the MAN

 

[Sufian]

2 more outs for a 5fer, come on

 

[iZeeshan]

Another one for Rana. Terrific bowling!

 

[Saj]

Nice change of action from Rana (almost Waqaresque)

Woolmer is all smiles.
