West Indies v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Gros Islet | 23/04/11 | West Indies Innings

[duostyle]

Lovely spin bowling by both tbh.

 

[Quick Single]

We're creaming them.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Good over by ajmal.

 

[Maher96]

Inclusion of spin has really slowed things down here.

 

[sam]

2nd slip in by the defensive captain.

It's all automated.

Afridi doin' nothing.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Need wickets.

 

[Quick Single]

u cant be that loud

Not as loud as Salman.

I swear that kids, gonna burst my ear drums.

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistani fielders showing more purpose now which is refreshing. Simmons and darren struggling, we have to get them OUT NOW.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Will the pitch get slower in the 2nd Innings?

 

[Maher96]

Simmons missed that completely.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That was an under pressure shot.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Badsha]

Damn it.

 

[sam]

Six.

 

[Atif]

by Simmons

 

[Maher96]

Asad didn't have the height.

 

[NJamal]

444444444444 by Simmons

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

As long as he keeps the way he's keeping, I wont blame him for our batting failures.

you need to be able to contribute with the bat.....

 

[sam]

Correction. Four.

 

[Badsha]

We need to a wicket to maintain this pressure. Maybe bring on Riaz?

 

[Maher96]

Seems like Afridi is going to come on and bowl.

 

[NJamal]

64/1 after 17 overs

 

[Quick Single]

We need to a wicket to maintain this pressure. Maybe bring on Riaz?

What?!?!

Hafeez and Ajmal not creating enough pressure for you?

 

[sam]

you need to be able to contribute with the bat.....

Add runs he saves in the field to his batting.

Seems near-miraculous to see a keeper who does what he's expected to do: keep well.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

hahaha

 

[Badsha]

you need to be able to contribute with the bat.....

We couldn't even find a player who could wicket keep. The most basic requirement.


His job is to keep. The batsmen need to bat.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Single to bravo.

 

[Badsha]

What?!?!

Hafeez and Ajmal not creating enough pressure for you?

Past experience would suggest pressure from controlling runs is not something you can rely on.

You need a wicket to cap the pressure off.


That said, pressure by controlling runs will get you a wicket.

 

[Badsha]

what a doosra.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beautiful Doosra.

 

[duostyle]

Maybe Afridi should come in now for Hafeez.

Afridi and Ajmal in tandem = quality

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

bishoo might do some damage

 

[Badsha]

Doesn't carry. So close. Ajmal deserves a wicket.

 

[NJamal]

Just short of slip

 

[Quick Single]

This is the best I've ever seen Ajmal bowl.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just short.

66/1 in 18.

 

[Maher96]

Hafeez yaar!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Another Good over by Ajmal Bolt.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Is afridi resting himself?

 

[ZenBowman]

Never thought the day would come when Pakistans spin bowling would outperform their quicks!

 

[NJamal]

66/1 after 18 overs

 

[Bilsher007]

Ajmal needs to pick a wicket here, both simmons and bravo are struggling to play quality off spin and now's the best time to remove them. Ajmal has just mesmerised bravo with his amazing offspin art.

 

[Badsha]

Maybe Afridi should come in now for Hafeez.

Afridi and Ajmal in tandem = quality

Afridi also has a nick for breaking partnerships.

 

[sam]

Maybe Afridi should come in now for Hafeez.

Afridi and Ajmal in tandem = quality

Heard ya!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

This is the best I've ever seen Ajmal bowl.

no... this is just below average WI batting...

 

[Fireworks11]

Stunning spin bowling by Ajmal. Rehman who?

 

[CricnPak]

This wicket's clearly been tailor-made for Bishoo and Roach - who with his pace, the pitch is out of the equation..Should be looking to get the WI a/o for below 230.

 

[Atif]

[NJamal]

Never thought the day would come when Pakistans spin bowling would outperform their quicks!

This is not the first time

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Give the ball to Azam.

 

[Fireworks11]

Hope Azam gets an over or two.

 

[sam]

Kamran Akmal on Cricinfo:

Qasim: "@Waqar please, are we gonna sit here and say that Salmans wicket keeping in his first ODI is the answer for akmals whole career, good and bad"

 

[Badsha]

Never thought the day would come when Pakistans spin bowling would outperform their quicks!

Except, when Saqlain was at his peak that would often happen in matches.

 

[Atif]

Hope Azam gets an over or two.

He will dont worry.

 

[Munna]

Never thought the day would come when Pakistans spin bowling would outperform their quicks!

it has been done many times rite from the days of abdul qadir and iqbal qasim to mushtar ahmed to saqlain and to kaneria!

 

[NJamal]

In comes the Skipper to bowl

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Except, when Saqlain was at his peak that would often happen in matches.

True... Brill ODI spinner..

 

[Badsha]

Boom Boom.

 

[Maher96]

Disco to band karo bhai

 

[sam]

Simmons not ready. Afridi not pleased. Wonder what he'd do if he had a run up a la Akhtar.

 

[Badsha]

Did our keeper say "Bullying start" ?


Some educated guy he is.

 

[Bilsher007]

Afridi ON now in his first overg

 

[Badsha]

Come on Simmons. Try to play the "cut" shot against Afridi

 

[raff]

Shahid Bhai Boom Boom Wala is on!

 

[Atif]

Let's hope Afridi has carried his WC bowling form into this series

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Afridi's first over will be maiden.

 

[sam]

How quick is Afridi with his overs.

Already done with 1.

 

[NJamal]

67/1 after 19 overs

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good start by afridi

 

[Maher96]

Good start by Afridi!

Seeing the spinners do so well we might as well give the bowl to Shahzad as well.

 

[Quick Single]

67\1 19 overs

 

[Munna]

a wicket or two would be icing on the cake for this tight bowling

 

[Fireworks11]

Not many Pakistanis in.

 

[sam]

Afridi's first over will be maiden.

1 run conceded.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

oh lol. The batsmen took single from the last ball

 

[Atif]

Simmons is Ajmal strikes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTTTT Simmons

 

[Maher96]

Afridi doesn't like to get fined because of others!

Ajmal takes the wicket good catch!

 

[duostyle]

Haha

Ajmal you beauty!
