West Indies (85/5) vs Pakistan - match abandoned after persistent rain in Bridgetown

[Justcrazy]

25 . 1

36 more balls left for WI here

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Gayle will be looking to slog Hafeez

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Great fielding by Azam....NOT

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hafeez is stretching that elbow here.

 

[Ashmal]

Hafeez is stretching that elbow here.

Doubt it...he wouldn't want to risk his WC spot

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

As usual Hafeez gets the left hander

 

[MRSN]

Oh man kill me just kill me. I just saw Sharjeel going back to field...man he was taking half of my tv screen.

 

[Titan24]

Shadab and Qadir’s overs will be the key here. They need to be accurate

 

[Varun]

A 9-over match?

What a mockery of cricket.

 

[MRSN]

So Umar Akmal was not picked during his good days because of fitness issues then how come Azam and Sharjeel have that cleared? Really dual faced policy by PCB and especially Misbah.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Oh man kill me just kill me. I just saw Sharjeel going back to field...man he was taking half of my tv screen.

Just as well Azam wasn't in the vicinity, you would have had total eclipse of the moon.

 

[Fazzy321]

Not going to lie, the atmosphere looks pretty boring without the crowd.

 

[MRSN]

Just as well Azam wasn't in the vicinity, you would have had total eclipse of the moon.

) and I have a 40 inch led lol ) I would have blacked out

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

WI need some big overs here to finish with a strong total.

 

[Saj]

Pakistan struggling to hide some of their fielders each match.

Nowhere to hide in international cricket.

 

[Ashmal]

Just as well Azam wasn't in the vicinity, you would have had total eclipse of the moon.

Is Rahkeem Cornwall playing here...that would complete the set

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Qadir bowls a nice full toss pie to hand a 6 to Russell.

 

[MRSN]

Fitness and fielding becomes very key in big games so I have to say Pakistan can't take both Azam and Sharjeel both are massive liabilities in the field and we already have some of the worst fielders in the world

 

[Major]

So Umar Akmal was not picked during his good days because of fitness issues then how come Azam and Sharjeel have that cleared? Really dual faced policy by PCB and especially Misbah.

Misbah didn't select them..

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Is Qadir bowling wide balls on purpose?

 

[Major]

Arnt all the spinners bowling too short?? Is it because of the bounce?

The wi pacers are gonna make it difficult for us

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Russell reviewing a clear edge. What a clown.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Beautiful delivery by uzzie qadir.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling well here , I do not think WI can get to 90 here , unless someone plays blinder

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan bowling well here , I do not think WI can get to 90 here , unless someone plays blinder

One good over by Gayle and WI will cross 100. Also WI have hitters all the way to no.9

 

[Titan24]

Is Qadir bowling wide balls on purpose?

Yes, plan is to keep it away from the range of WI batsmen.

 

[Major]

Andre russel was a dangerous man. Thank god hes gone

 

[MRSN]

WI side is arguably the best T20I team at the moment.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

That was a better delivery, on the stumps to keep the batsman guessing.

 

[Major]

Well bowled qadir. I wnat to see another ovwr by waseem

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Yes, plan is to keep it away from the range of WI batsmen.

That's fine but a couple of them dropped short which is just a free hit.

 

[Titan24]

WI side is arguably the best T20I team at the moment.

Yes, definitely one of the best their batting can dispatch any attack.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Big big wicket for Wasim. Blistering start to his interntional career!

 

[Major]

Waseem gets his first wicket

 

[Titan24]

What a debut wicket for Wasim Jr. Gets T20 legend

 

[Major]

Is west indies gonna make a substitution for simmons??

 

[MRSN]

Yes, definitely one of the best their batting can dispatch any attack.

I mean you have to bet 2 or 3 players from any top team to have a bad day to win for you but this team has so many match changing players that it is unbelievable. They should be favorite for WT20.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI playing like amatuers here )

 

[MRSN]

Wth was that looks like Pollard scared him lol

 

[Saj]

Great moment for Wasim jr and a day he will always remember.

The big wicket of Chris Gayle.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This just shows how bad Australia has become in T20s lol.

 

[Fazzy321]

Wasim looks like another leaker like Haris

 

[MRSN]

Great fielding by Azam. It's like gravity held him back from quick throw. Such a lazy fielder.

 

[Titan24]

143 kph from Wasim. Some deceptive slower balls as well

 

[Ashmal]

Impressive debut from Wasim apart from that 5 wides....bowled with sharp pace with some decent variations

 

[Justcrazy]

This is easy chase for Pakistan , they should chase down this total

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wasim looks like another leaker like Haris

Only one ball off line in two overs, otherwise was pretty much on the money.

 

[Titan24]

Opportunity to get Pollard missed

 

[MRSN]

That should have been out. School level fielding by Hasan.

 

[Titan24]

Hetmyer comprehensively deceived by Hassan

 

[Titan24]

11 in two overs from Hassan with two wickets. Top stuff

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Looks like the rain's coming down again.

 

[Justcrazy]

72 . 5


six balls to play with for WI

 

[MRSN]

Do these bowlers don't know how to bowl yorkers?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can Pakistan chase down 82 in 9 overs?

 

[JibranAnsari]

hard target on this pitch.

 

[Titan24]

Rain again. May as well get on with it, not much cricket on this venue until CPL I think

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Do these bowlers don't know how to bowl yorkers?

You must be joking

Bowling yorkers is an art which these guys don't possess.

 

[ssuhaide]

Excellent score from the West Indies. Should be a comfortable win for them.

 

[badsha001]

11 in two overs from Hassan with two wickets. Top stuff

he gave away at least 2 boundaries in leg byes by bowling on the legside.

 

[shamaan]

Bowling length to West Indies is criminal poor over by shaheen.
Pakistan should be able to chase this

 

[Justcrazy]

86 is the target for pakistan

 

[Titan24]

he gave away at least 2 boundaries in leg byes by bowling on the legside.

Yes that he did but, still cant complain the way he bowled otherwise

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No excuse not to chase this.

 

[Justcrazy]

Excellent score from the West Indies. Should be a comfortable win for them.

Its poor score, especially for a 9 over game.

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar and Azam should come in before Babar and Hafeez imo

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I would’ve taken anything below 100. 8 batsmen and 9 overs. Should just swing

 

[Omer2002]

86 is impossible to chase on this spinning 2 paced wicket

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hassan Ali should open. Our best hitter

 

[Asif321]

Sharjeel looks too fat .more than Azam

 

[Asif321]

WI batting line up is crazy .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If they do resume then Fakhar and Sharjeel should open with Azam Khan coming in at 3 with Babar at 4 then Hafeez and so on.

 

[IAJ]

Just watched the last over, that was really poor bowling by Shaheen, kept bowling length.

Seems like match will be called off, needs to come out and bat in next 16 minutes.

 

[shamaan]

Why didn't they just play a 5 over game espically if they new that rain would come later !

 

[Darkrai]

Shaheen once said if you can't learn how to bowl yorkers under Waqar then you'll never learn. I guess these guys will never be able to bowl yorkers.

 

[daytrader]

Should give sharjeel and azam a go at opening, would be fun to watch

 

[Major]

Why didn't they just play a 5 over game espically if they new that rain would come later !

You cant play a reduce game in advance. The delay had to be happen for the overs to be reduce.

Plus, the weather is unpredictable in the islands like the Caribbean

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This sport is a joke. No reason why we can’t start after the rain ends but no we need to start within the next 10 minutes

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Why didn't they just play a 5 over game espically if they new that rain would come later !

Pollard was so casual in changing his bat, and then removed his gloves for no apparent reason. Looks like he was purposefully wasting time and waiting for rain to arrive.

A T5 should've been ideal here.

 

[SM1989]

Why can’t they come back later and play under lights? Cricket rules can be really stupid at times!
