Pakistan vs WI Day Two

[infamous9383]

Will Pak batting take a big lead or follow the same route as the West Indies and collapase. About half an hour before the match. Post all updates and discussions in this thread

If Younis and Hafeez and Yousuf Take Pakistan past the WI score , Id like to see Akmal and Malik promoted up ahead of Inzamam.

Care to elaborate?

Care to elaborate?

prehaps quick runs

 

[Daoud]

Theres still a long time in the game, so grinding out runs isnt a bad thing

 

[darkmoon459]

Today Mohammed Yousuf is essentail for pakistan and also for W.I ,inshallah he will make us proud and score big.

Match about to start.

 

[darkmoon459]

Younis khan to face colleymore.

 

[161]

salam all.

if we get at least a 100 run lead then it will be very tough for the windies to come back and win

 

[darkmoon459]

Ball is moving thru the air and off the pitch ,hopefully younis and hafeez will survive the first hour.

 

[kablooee87]

ooh younis fishing outside off. edge falls short of slip.

 

[kablooee87]

and then collymore gets sharp bounce on the next ball. should be a good test of techinique for these two.

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

how is the match going?

 

[darkmoon459]

Younis khan is struggling a bit.

 

[kablooee87]

prehaps quick runs

there's no need for that at this point in the game. Certainly not worth sending the captain at 7.

 

[kablooee87]

Edwards beats Younis' outside edge.

 

[kablooee87]

Doesn't seem like Intikham Alam's guarantee of a full house for today is going to pan out....

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

windies must maintain pressure at both ends

 

[Hash]

Doesn't seem like Intikham Alam's guarantee of a full house for today is going to pan out....

It's 9.30am on a Sunday morning. You obviously don't know Lahoris if you think they are going to come this early.

Even if it is a full house, it wouldn't be until after lunch.

 

[kablooee87]

Hafeez facing Collymore for the first time today.....this should be interesting.

 

[Hash]

These two are doing okay. Just need to see off this opening period. Keep the scoreboard ticking though.

That's why I said it doesn't look like it will pan out, not as of now. It'll be a decent crowd still, probably slightly better than yesterday.

 

[kablooee87]

good single picked, fielder was on his heels.

 

[kablooee87]

44/1 19.0 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Younis leaves a delivery close to his off-stump. That's a batsman's leave.

 

[darkmoon459]

younis gone ,

 

[kablooee87]

YOUNIS GONE!

Younis falls to the short ball. They were setting him up. He went for the pull, catch taken.

45/2

 

[infamous9383]

YK gone

 

[darkmoon459]

Yousuf is in now ,lets hope he can hang on and score some runs.

 

[Nauman]

Oh well I guess as long as it isnt India Younis doesnt feel obligated to be consistently good

 

[infamous9383]

Mohammad Yousuf the new man in

 

[infamous9383]

Oh well I guess as long as it isnt India Younis doesnt feel obligated to be consistently good

he was a run scoring machine in England before

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

we need to get a wicket

 

[kablooee87]

Yousuf walks into the middle. He has a big part to play here.

 

[Daoud]

Come on MoYo. A big innings is needed

 

[infamous9383]

45/2

 

[kablooee87]

Solid, confident defense on the first ball from MoYo.

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

good break for edwards

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

we need to get the next two batsmen cheaply to have any chance

 

[infamous9383]

overpitched for 2

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

this man has a powerful record against us

 

[kablooee87]

good break for edwards

it was a well planned dismissal.

 

[infamous9383]

appeal for lbw turned down

 

[kablooee87]

Appeal for leg before on Hafeez. Going over the top, maybe even down leg side.

 

[infamous9383]

47/2

 

[kablooee87]

They tried the bouncer on hafeez to see if he would bite. no dice, he ducked under it.

 

[UJ]

Yousuf averages 78 vs WI with 3 hundreds in 5 tests

 

[kablooee87]

Short leg comes in for Yusuf.

 

[infamous9383]

single to third man

 

[infamous9383]

hafeez works it away for single

 

[WEST INDIAN PASSION]

Yousuf averages 78 vs WI with 3 hundreds in 5 tests

[kablooee87]

Superb drive from hafeez. That was beautiful.Boundary.

 

[infamous9383]

superb shot for 4

 

[khilari]

[khilari]

hafeez starting to look more and more assured out there. Let's see how he handles this.

I was just talking in the contexts of this innings.

 

[infamous9383]

peach of a delivery

 

[kablooee87]

Great ball from Collymore. Nipped in off the pitch. No chance for the batsman.

 

[infamous9383]

pull shot for 4 by hafeez

 

[kablooee87]

Now Collymore bowls short. Put away by hafeez. Another boundary.

 

[infamous9383]

wide signaled

 

[infamous9383]

another peach of a delivery

 

[kablooee87]

This time an edge. Goes through the slip cordon for another boundary.

 

[infamous9383]

hafeez gets a lucky boundry there

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Should PAK try to increse their RR?.... because it'll be hard for the lower order batsmen to face the W Indian pace bowlers with the 2nd new ball!
