Pakistanis v UWI VC XI | Warm Up Match | Castries | 18/04/11

[strongman123]

Ahmad Shahzad seems to be struggling, hopefully he won't throw his wicket away, and just stay out there and have a bat.

49 from 56 at one stage he was 18 from 38 good stuff from him, hopefully he will play ahead of Taufeeq Umar.

 

[Hando]

We should just declare

 

[NJamal]

Oh no Hammad OUTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Fireworks11]

Shehzad should open.

 

[srh]

Yeah I think Asad may have flopped today. Knowing our management they will drop him and play Shehzada number 3 opening with Taufeeq and Hafeez

It will be hard to drop Taufeeq or Shehzad after both have scored 40+. Its only Asad's fault that he did not scored today.

 

[Hando]

Faizan bhai, 10-15 min mai Call karday na

 

[sam]

Has Shahid Baba batted yet?

 

[Afrid1]

Pakistan 254/5

!!!

Do you know the exact batsmen which are out Faizan bhai

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

abbe, trying to call West Indies, but problems in phone lines, connect hee nahee ho raha :'(

 

[NJamal]

Has Shahid Baba batted yet?

Baba not playing today

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

They shouldnt drop asad, open with Hafeez and Shehzad. Leave Asad at 3 and Umar at 4.

 

[Boi]

Has Shahid Baba batted yet?

The bhai is resting today.

 

[Ahson8]

Has Shahid Baba batted yet?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

abbe, trying to call West Indies, but problems in phone lines, connect hee nahee ho raha :'(

faizan bhai dil pe nahi lo. People are just having fun here

 

[cricket47]

Why does Umar Akmal play so low down the batting order??

 

[Ahson8]

^ afridi's not playin'

 

[Hando]

WI twitter not updated

Seems like we must have crossed 350

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

Pakistan 270/5 in 47 overs ...

 

[srh]

They shouldnt drop asad, open with Hafeez and Shehzad. Leave Asad at 3 and Umar at 4.

I think they will open with Hafeez and Taufeeq in ODIs. Asad will be given one more chance at 3. If he failed again then Shehzad will replace him at 3.

 

[talha3]

Pakistan 270/5 in 47 overs ...

WICKET! Salahudeen c Ottley b Brathwaite 4. PAK 266/6. 47 ov. Akmal 33*, Salman 0*.

Thanks for update Faizan.

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

Usman Salahuddin out ...

 

[talha3]

Hmm can we get to 300? Probably not. 290 is on though.

 

[Badsha]

Any radio/video streams?

 

[Afrid1]

WICKET! Salahudeen c Ottley b Brathwaite 4. PAK 266/6. 47 ov. Akmal 33*, Salman 0*.

Thanks for update Faizan.

Faizan you said 270/5 but West Indies says 266/6... how did they lose 4 runs

 

[Fireworks11]

Good batting by Umar.

 

[talha3]

Faizan you said 270/5 but West Indies says 266/6... how did they lose 4 runs

Probably rounded it.

 

[babu]

Asad Shafiq should not play in T20.

In ODI Asad should only be playing if Ahmed Shehzad fails in at least 3 innings.

 

[srh]

so who was the no. 4 OUT (assuming the first 3 outs were Taufeeq, Shehzad and Asad)?

 

[zoi321]

I hope juNaid takes. 7 wickets

 

[Hando]

Batting order is messed up, there sending Usman for slog overs

Should be

Hafeez
Shezad/Taufeeq
Asad
Usman/Umar
Misbah
Hammad
Afridi
Salman

 

[Badsha]

Is there even a score card available? Where are all of you watching this? :S

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

Faizan you said 270/5 but West Indies says 266/6... how did they lose 4 runs

I don't know either the person who is updating on twitter or the person who is updating me on phone is sleeping

but I would trust the man from Pak team management more than WICB twitter account !

 

[A.M.]

Batting order is messed up, there sending Usman for slog overs

Should be

Hafeez
Shezad/Taufeeq
Asad
Usman/Umar
Misbah
Hammad
Afridi
Salman

its a warm up!!

 

[sunnykhan]

I think they will open with Hafeez and Taufeeq in ODIs. Asad will be given one more chance at 3. If he failed again then Shehzad will replace him at 3.

A big LOL on this. Shehzad failed in the WC. Asad performed in the WC. And yet Asad deserves only one chance while Shehzad deserves more chance based on this tour match

 

[Badsha]

Batting order is messed up, there sending Usman for slog overs

Should be

Hafeez
Shezad/Taufeeq
Asad
Usman/Umar
Misbah
Hammad
Afridi
Salman

Hopefully they're only trying to test out with a different line up .

 

[Hando]

I hope juNaid takes. 7 wickets

for the 1748th time,

 

[srh]

this we know for sure: Hafeez came at No. 1, Taufeeq at No. 2 and Shehzad at No. 3.

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

PAK 274/6. 48 ov. Akmal 39*, Salman 2*.

 

[talha3]

PAK 274/6. 48 ov. Akmal 39*, Salman 2*.

 

[Afrid1]

PAK 274/6. 48 ov. Akmal 39*, Salman 2*

 

[pakistandiehardfan]

PAK 274/6. 48 ov. Akmal 39*, Salman 2*.

 

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

I think they counted Hafeez as out

And, Asad should not be dropped from ODIS, Shehzad does not warrant an starting place based on a warm up match. He failed consistently in the WC whereas when Asad came in he gave some wonderful performances.

Opening Pair should be Shehzad and Hafeez. And Number 3 is Asad's spot

 

[srh]

Umar Akmal is holding the inning together.

 

[Fireworks11]

IA Pak to score 288/8.

 

[babu]

Look like asad will be a big fail in WI.

Ahmed Shehzad should play at No. 3 spot in ODI series (Hafeez/Taufeeq) as openers.

Asad can try his luck in Test.

 

[Fireworks11]

What a change when Pak bat first.

 

[srh]

Why not Hafeez and Taufeeq?

hahaha one warm up match and u even dont know if he got out!!

 

[Afrid1]

WICKET! Salman c Bonner b Moore 3. 282/7. 49 ov. Akmal 53*.

 

[ehtesham]

Is there even a score card available? Where are all of you watching this? :S

i think u just got up.... hope u had a sound sleep... jokes apart, login to your facebuk acount... search for windies cricket.. u'll get ur wish done

 

[srh]

collapse

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

Mohammad Salman bhee out

 

[Afrid1]

WICKET! Tanveer bowled for a duck off his first ball by Fidel. Way too quick for Tanveer. 282/8. 49.1ov.

 

[Faizan Lakhani]

WICKET! Tanveer bowled for a duck off his first ball by Fidel. Way too quick for Tanveer. 282/8. 49.1ov.

 

[srh]

[dannydan_56]

Yes, party for beating a University XI in WI.

 

[Fireworks11]

Tanveer should be fresh to bowl his heart out.

 

[mon858]

Look like asad will be a big fail in WI.

Ahmed Shehzad should play at No. 3 spot in ODI series (Hafeez/Taufeeq) as openers.

Asad can try his luck in Test.

babu, your criteria for judging someone's success or failure on the whole tour is their first innings in the tour match?

do you how he got out?
was he perhaps run-out?
do you if it was a good decision (if lb)?
did he play a bad shot or was it a great ball?
what about the others you mentioned, do you know who got the chances which were dropped catches off edwards?
were you watching shafiq play in the world cup?
were you watching ahmed s play in the world cup?

1 innings of first tour match is all it takes to label someone as a big fail?

 

[srh]

for Umar Akmal for holding the Pak inning together. Man among boys. )

 

[Fireworks11]

Need the keeper Salman to hit a few runs in the series IA.

 

[talha3]

PAK 274/6. 48 ov. Akmal 39*, Salman 2*.
WICKET! Salman c Bonner b Moore 3. 282/7. 49 ov. Akmal 53*

huh??? how is that possible? 15 runs scored off the bat but only 8 runs on the board?

 

[Markhor]

from 254/4 to 282/8

Yep,definitely Pakistan playing !

 

[talha3]

PAK 287/8. 50 overs. Hafeez 101, Akmal 57*, Shahzad 49. Brathwaite 10-0-38-3, Bonner 4-0-25-2, Fidel 9-0-46-1, Bravo 9-0-70-0.

bravo taken to the cleaners. well played hafeez, captains knock . good innings from shahzad too.

 

[Desi]

So we crossed 200? More than enough runs needed to win

 

[ehtesham]

PAK 287/8. 50 overs.

 

[talha3]

also don't forget taufeeq's contribution.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

for those just logged in asking for the score http://twitter.com/westindies

 

[talha3]

I really can't see WI chasing this down.

 

[Fireworks11]

VC XI have 288 to win from 50 overs. We will resume in 30 mins or so.

 

[talha3]

Overall, pretty satisfied with the effort.

 

[ehtesham]

Yes, party for beating a University XI in WI.

)

 

[Fireworks11]

IA Pak to score 288/8.

Nearly correct...

 

[srh]

PAK 287/8. 50 overs. Hafeez 101, Akmal 57*, Shahzad 49. Brathwaite 10-0-38-3, Bonner 4-0-25-2, Fidel 9-0-46-1, Bravo 9-0-70-0.

bravo taken to the cleaners. well played hafeez, captains knock . good innings from shahzad too.

And where are the accolades for Umar Akmal?

 

[sunnykhan]

Look like asad will be a big fail in WI.

Ahmed Shehzad should play at No. 3 spot in ODI series (Hafeez/Taufeeq) as openers.

Asad can try his luck in Test.

) ) ). Asad performed in WC. What Shehzad did there?

 

[srh]

so what was the batting order today:

1. Mohammad Hafeez
2. Taufeeq Umar
3. Ahmad Shehzad
4. Asad Shafiq
5. Umar Akmal
6. Hammad Azam
7. Usman Salahuddin
8. Mohammad Salman
9. Tanvir Ahmad
10. Junaid Khan

 

[srh]

assuming that WI incorrectly counts Mohammad Hafeez as OUT

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

^^ include afridi there for ODIs

junaid khan was 12th man, will bowl..you've 2 players missing.
