West Indies v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Providence | April 9, 2017 | West Indies Innings

[Syed1]

Contrast the start of Pakistan and West Indies.


Doesn't matter we have "explosive" opener to play at 50 SR. Right [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Nice length from Amir.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good approach by west indies.

 

[ExpressPacer]

He was around 135 km/h in Australia as well. Don't know what you mean by trundling recently.

He may have bowled the odd ball around 136 but is avg pace was 130. Anyway, I was talking about the PSL. He was pretty slow.

He only played one game as far as I remember?

 

[Syed1]

Oh sorry, I meant it was all the bowler, the batsman had no part in gifting his wicket.

Amir picks up Lewis.





Finger on your lips. Enough of your "expert" opinion

 

[Bilal7]

Junaid needs a quiet over, ideally a maiden, to get back on track. Always tough being hit in your comeback match but he's tough mentally and should cope well.

Pakistan should win this, InshAllah.

 

[Ellipsism]

Good bowling from Amir.

Lewis looked like a tail-ender against swing.

 

[IMMY69]

Let's see how close the Windies get to our score

 

[Ellipsism]

Amir picks up Lewis.

What is your problem?

 

[On_the_up]

Crucial wkt, need to get Mohammad in and out early as well, will go a long way towards 1-1

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Did Amir swear?.

 

[Justcrazy]

two down

 

[JibranAnsari]

I dont know why we picked junaid. A nothing bowler now

 

[Syed1]

Must be exciting to watch the match on cricinfo

 

[IMMY69]

Wicket Maiden from Amir

 

[ask_analyse_act]

good bowling from both amir and junaid... these pair has taken early wickets very often should have been played from match 1... need to cut down on bowling lose deliveries..

 

[ExpressPacer]

He only played one game as far as I remember?

From the little that I saw of him, he looked like a shadow of his former self.

Junaid was never fast like Amir to begin with. At peak he would bowl at late 130's or early 140's. But then he dropped down to mid 120's. So it's good to see him bowling around the 135 kph mark.

 

[Ellipsism]

Good over from Amir.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wicket Maiden! Shaba Amir!

 

[Justcrazy]

Wickets are crucial in this run chase.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Shot boy. Hope is gonna be a fine player. Identified this youngsta beauty on debut.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What a shot by Hope. One for the future!

 

[Ellipsism]

shot by Hope.

Remember this guy playing some quality shots against Hazlewood in Hobart.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Junaid should be bowling round the wicket. He isn't getting the swing or seam he used to so should stop looking for it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely delivery just 3 feet wide and short of off stump by junaid for 4.

 

[QalandarFan]

Junaid needs to keep things tight.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Must be exciting to watch the match on cricinfo

Well , You are quite happy with the tripe. I have better standards.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Shai Hope is very good but not suited to the modern game. He may play a Shehzads-esque knock here. Nonetheless, he is young and has lots of potential.

did u see that shot from him.. back to back boundaries... shehzad is unique...

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs are leaking

 

[ExpressPacer]

Tbh I like Waqar Younis as a commentator. Sure, he makes grammatical mistakes every now and then but he gives very good analysis.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Waqar analysing Amir here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid is brilliant even watching live.

 

[ExpressPacer]

did u see that shot from him.. back to back boundaries... shehzad is unique...

I stick by what I said. Those two shots were great to look at. So aesthetic. But then again so are the shots from Shehzad. The problem with both players is that they don't rotate strike and depend too much on boundaries. Both are still young so can improve.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab is better than junaid.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz has to be precise with bowling and field changes here .

 

[ExpressPacer]

Waqar analysing Amir here.

Given a brilliant analysis thus far.

 

[Ellipsism]

Excellent analysis from Waqar

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor delivery.. Got away with it

 

[QalandarFan]

Great analysis from Waqar on Amir.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Brilliant bowling from Amir. Imad should be brought on now. He would be confident today as well.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Good pace from Amir.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get hafeez on now.

 

[Alamgeer]

Amir always did well under waqar. Waqar as a bowling coch would be ideal.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I swear whenever batsmen miscue the ball it always goes into no mans land in our case

 

[Justcrazy]

Junaid needs to bowl well here , to keep wahab out

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Cric-Ind-fo plugging in IPL in the Pakistan match commentary thread..Pathetic lol

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Hope is the key wicket here.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

sarfraz didnt like that from kami... lol...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hopefully its junaids last game .. Even chucking isnt helping him.

 

[Alamgeer]

Wahab is way way better than junaid.

 

[sarmadsl]

what waqar said ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hasan getting ready to receive some phainta.

 

[Barragan]

There is actually a very good crowd in

 

[Barragan]

Poor delivery, but gets a wicket

Very lucky

 

[Justcrazy]

Hassan Ali to come in now.

 

[Pakpak]

gone

 

[Ellipsism]

Hasan getting ready to receive some phainta.

Talk nah.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hassan strikes in first over.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[QalandarFan]

Hasan ali gets the break through!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gone.

Couldnt pick a worse delivery to get out on

 

[pacesensation]

what waqar said ?

that his shoulder collapes abit early and his head position is wrong a bit. Thats why he is not swinging it the way he used to



meanwhile Hasan Ali )

 

[IAJ]

So uninspiring bowling but Windies being Windies here

 

[uberkoen]

 

[On_the_up]

WI are now technically Hope-less in this inns.

 

[Ellipsism]

Lucky wicket for Hasan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Talk nah.

Got lucky

 

[ExpressPacer]

Did I just see someone of African descent sporting a Pakistan Jersey? Hm, maybe a cricket loving Makrani living in the Caribbean.

 

[bleaf27]

Why is WI playing a T20 here? RR of over 6 and 3 wickets down ?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pakistan should win now.

 

[uberkoen]

that his shoulder collapes abit early and his head position is wrong a bit. Thats why he is not swinging it the way he used to



meanwhile Hasan Ali )

Why can't Waqar go and talk to Amir directly about this?

 

[saeed5646]

Wahab is way way better than junaid.

i salute to you sir

 

[ExpressPacer]

I swear whenever batsmen miscue the ball it always goes into no mans land in our case

I've noticed that the ball landing in no man's land happens most often with us. Even luck is not on our side these days.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hasan finally coming around the wicket. Should've done it last game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not get complacent here.

 

[Ellipsism]

Good pace from Hasan.

143 km/h

 

[MMHS]

Both Wahab & JK needs to be out of the team. This is ridiculous - 6 right handers in top 6 & then 3 left armers backed by a leggi. If Sohail had not been so old, he was a perfect foil for this attack.

PAK shouldn't play JK - it's walking on a thin layer.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Why can't Waqar go and talk to Amir directly about this?

He has. If he's talked to Azhar, of course he's talked to Amir. It's not something you can immediately fix. Amir needs to rebuild his strength and he's slowly regaining it.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why can't Waqar go and talk to Amir directly about this?

Not so easy to change things about your action - even if they may be so little. It's like a domino effect, fiddling with one thing leads to a problem with another. Has to be a gradual process and with Amirs increasing pace and swing, I guess it's working. Steadily, but working.
