West Indies v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Guyana | April 7th, 2017 | West Indies Innings

[Watsupdoc]

Finally Windies getting a move on. Things are getting interested.

 

[Citizen4]

six.
Now bring Imad to bowl.

 

[Taaya]

Why are Malik and Hafeez (our part timers) bowling so many overs? We have 5 main bowlers for this game. Imad hasn't even gotten a look yet.

 

[NauV]

Sarfaraz, you can not hide bowlers! If you're playing a bowler, you can't not ball them just because there's a left hander/right ahnder in the crease . . if you're playing imad wasim, then you need to have the confidence that he is good enough to ball to either . .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good partnership

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nice shot from hope.

 

[Citizen4]

Why is Imad not bowling?

strange really. Imad always bowls in the first 20 overs. Now it's 28 overs gone and he haven't bowled yet

 

[Arsalan Pro]

12 of the over.

 

[Barragan]

Hope hasn't been too bad

Has been milking it around and hitting some boundaries

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

pakistan is forgetting windies are known for hitting sixes at will.
rr never issue for em.
pak desperate for some wickets here.

 

[MMHS]

yes ahzar and sarfu neck and so far in terms of tactics vs the windies

Again, with a foot note - one in UAE & other in WI, where last year hosts made the final ahead of SAF

 

[Markhor]

Good to see application from the Windies.

Seen a bit of Shai Hope. Not a bad prospect at all.

Yeah he's been smashing it in domestic recently, averaging 75 and 48 in the last FC and 50 over competitions. He was given his national team debut too early but a lot of people in WI rate him highly.

 

[Citizen4]

agya Imad

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need a wicket or 2 here

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Brilliant first ball by Imad.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

close call, not out

 

[MMHS]

WI likely to collapse at one point, can't allow the asking to grow like this.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

138/2 in 29.

 

[Markhor]

Kieran Powell looking every bit the man who wants to preserve his place after 2 years of omission.

WI leaving themselves too much do in the final 20 overs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

amarie is back

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

short hair doesnt suits amir.
he should be back with his 09 hairstyle.

 

[Ellipsism]

Finally some pace.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir returns.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

WI likely to collapse at one point, can't allow the asking to grow like this.

worrying signs for pak is they are not looking like taking wickets.
need some luck

 

[pakistanisgreat]

safi really looking for wicket here, swing and miss

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444444444

 

[Ellipsism]

Is it me or Amir is bowling slower than he was in Australia.

 

[Citizen4]

Is it me or Amir is bowling slower than he was in Australia.

in the first spell he was quicker

 

[Taaya]

Is it me or Amir is bowling slower than he was in Australia.

Speed guns in Australia overestimate speeds by 5-7kph.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i think WI has an upper hand at this point.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cant believe we were waiting for this guy to make a comeback..he is barely a shadow of himself.

 

[Ellipsism]

Speed guns in Australia overestimate speeds by 5-7kph.

Not really.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

high praise for Hope from Dujon.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

i think WI has an upper hand at this point.

just need to be sensible.
it is 350+ pitch.
but all thanks to shezi n hafeez

 

[Rayyman]

Pacers should look for reverse swing here.

 

[Syed1]

Windies will chase this down.

 

[IMMY69]

55/45 in favour of Windies

 

[Ellipsism]

Pacers should look for reverse swing here.

Well our two best exponents of reverse aren't bowling.

 

[MMHS]

worrying signs for pak is they are not looking like taking wickets.
need some luck

I don't think they have the matuarity to chase at 8+ for 20 overs. So far, few lucky incidents went to their favour, otherwise could have been 4 down by now.

 

[Belawal2014]

Windies will chase this down.

Ab to aisa hi lag raha hai.

 

[JibranAnsari]

West indies favourites now to win this one.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Hope make batting look so easy.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Yeah he's been smashing it in domestic recently, averaging 75 and 48 in the last FC and 50 over competitions. He was given his national team debut too early but a lot of people in WI rate him highly.

Yeah, I saw him on debut. Showed some potential but was very raw. Looks more polished now. With runs behind him, also seems more confident.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need a wicket here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Sarfraz getting nervous

 

[Markhor]

After these two, there's Jason Mohammad who's in good form with the bat and Jonathan Carter who I don't like but can whack the ball a mile. This is not a slam dunk for Pakistan, this could get uncomfortable.

Holder's also no mug with the bat.

 

[Mamoon]

Has Chucker chucked today? Missed his bowling.

 

[Ellipsism]

This is average pace from Amir; not even touching 140 km/h.

 

[uberkoen]

Windies copying our approach

 

[ExplicitAI]

Went to go grab a hotdog and we only just picked up 2 wickets?? C'mon Sarfraz I know you're better than this.

 

[Ellipsism]

Has Chucker chucked today? Missed his bowling.

I have a feeling he did bowl with his previous action.

 

[Mamoon]

WI looking Hopeful at the moment.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

ok boys wickets is coming in next over ball number 3

 

[Mamoon]

I have a feeling he did bowl with his previous action.

Possibly, but to his credit, he is still good with a legal action unless the other chucker.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

see but wrong ball

 

[Markhor]

Thank god for that. Now get Jason Mohammad early.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Out!!!

 

[Ellipsism]

Quality from Wahab

 

[ExplicitAI]

And I just spoke now

 

[pakistanisgreat]

he threw it away

 

[Rayyman]

Good over from Amir

 

[ExplicitAI]

You lot should keep in mind that the RRR is still creeping up which is a good thing.

 

[Ellipsism]

Good over from Amir

Looked rubbish- what game are you watching?

 

[Justcrazy]

Run rate pressuer on WI

 

[Rayyman]

Wabby and Kami. Lahore combo strikes.

 

[uberkoen]

Looked rubbish- what game are you watching?

The Australia series.

 

[Barragan]

Powell getting out is probably not a bad thing

They need someone to blast at one and Hope can play the finisher role

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan ahead here .

 

[Rayyman]

Looked rubbish- what game are you watching?

Not watching.

 

[uberkoen]

Kami looked so happy to have held onto that.

 

[Ellipsism]

Not watching.

That's why you don't make comments off scorecards.

 

[godzilla]

the brown slightly rotund panther pounces onto that catch like it was second nature.

 

[Syed1]

the brown slightly rotund panther pounces onto that catch like it was second nature.

I would have dropped the term "slightly"

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good over by Wahab Riaz.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Shadab is back

 

[Justcrazy]

158 / 3

33 overs

 

[Asif321]

why did sarfraz said Allah ke waste ???

 

[Arsalan Pro]

That's why you don't make comments off scorecards.

Still he has been the best bowler today along with Wahab Riaz.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz is mixing his bowlers well.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

what a turn by kid
