I would open with Hasan and Imad.

Pakistan played awfully bad.

Its just I know how bad Windies are that they have no chance.

Any decent team like South Africa or India or perhaps even New Zealand would have given us a run for our money.

Windies ?

Meh.

80 all out.

We would have dismissed for lower vs any other team as well

 

[Pete Rose]

I had forgotten pakistan had a match today. This is some trademark mediocre batting by pakistan

 

[Shaan]

Wow what a comeback by Pakistan!! shadab boy will destroy this windies. Pakistan will win this easily.

Considering the fact that they were 95 for 8, its a gift.

I think, it'll be a tight match.

Yes but I refuse to get sucked in to the context of this game. Headline is mediocre batting

Average 1st innings total at Queens Park Oval is 128 so we're slightly above - but only because of Wahab and Shadab's slogs at the end.

I'm willing to park the strike rate issues today because I've watched a lot of cricket in the West Indies and these slow, tacky pitches have made many big hitters look ordinary.

However I'm not excusing the brainlessness of our batsmen - we are AWFUL at reading the conditions, judging what a par score is and batting accordingly.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Want some wickets from Imad here

Hmmm. Yeah but pakistan bat like this regardless of pitch, don't they?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Imad Wasim with a 14 average in T20. Impressive

 

[Barragan]

Wide and four

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tanvir yaar...

 

[Syed1]

Mashallah

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

I am not sure what embarrassment you are talking about? The average score of this ground for 1st innings is 128, hence 140 should be competitive.

Do you watch cricket or come here to troll around. Reaching 90/8 in a T20 match indictes a massive miscalculation of target - when teams don't have a clue of per for the course, try to reach 170 on a 130 per wicket. Adding 42 in last 4 overs with last 2 wickets is Larke Lenge Cricket, happens once in a blue moon, that too against teams like WI & on a day that a side concedes 20% runs through poor fielding.

Your problem is you try to over smart things & then can't manage it - which will only bring you bitter taste & bad memories, as your selection of target also back fires. Grow up.

 

[zn426]

Wonderful. We could bowl spin so many overs and get WI into a rut, but nooooo, we have to deploy a fast bowler.

 

[Big Mac]

How is that a wide? The ball has barely missed leg stump and Sarfraz messed up the take. Poor call from the umpire

 

[Barragan]

He is in the air

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a unlucky way to get out...

 

[Markhor]

Hmmm. Yeah but pakistan bat like this regardless of pitch, don't they?

We suck no doubt, but the pitch has made us look worse than we actually are.

 

[ExplicitAI]

That is by far the funniest run out of the year )

 

[Madplayer]

Bizzare way to get out. What does the rule say?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

 

[MMHS]

OUT - I haven't seen so much ordinary cricket in 21 overs in my life.

 

[bleaf27]

This shouldn't be out ,that's terrible

 

[Markhor]

What a bizarre dismissal ! Stay on your feet man.

Evin Lewis is a talented and dangerous batsman but he's been out for the second time in a row now.

 

[MMHS]

Bizzare way to get out. What does the rule say?

Out. You have to be connected with the ground at the point of dislodging bails. But, I think they are amending the rule in latest ICC meeting. Which should give some protection to batsmen, but still this is out.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

great presence of mind from our fielders to actually point the bat drop to the umpire

 

[zn426]

Ok maybe not. There's wicket #1, 9 more to go. Keep chopping wood, green team!

 

[Square Drive]

)

Hilarious.

 

[Madplayer]

OUT - I haven't seen so much ordinary cricket in 21 overs in my life.

Have u seen such a runout before? Apart from that cook and kohli one.

 

[Barragan]

Good fielding by Riaz

 

[badsha001]

Poor Captaincy by Sarfraz, should have taken the appeal back...

 

[Hamza_]

Pathetic from Tanvir

 

[Madplayer]

Out. You have to be connected with the ground at the point of dislodging bails. But, I think they are amending the rule in latest ICC meeting. Which should give some protection to batsmen, but still this is out.

Hmmm he was wayy in. Unlucky way to get out.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky wicket for us

 

[Big Mac]

Bizzare way to get out. What does the rule say?

He'd have been OK if his bat had touched the ground and then left the crease or went in the air to avoid injuring himself in the collision.

His bat was never grounded behind the line so that's why he was out, even though it was unlucky.

 

[Square Drive]

Outstanding from Wahab.

Today is his day.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sarfraz's experience with QG of defending low totals should come handy today.

 

[imshally81]

Poor Captaincy by Sarfraz, should have taken the appeal back...

Why?

 

[Watsupdoc]

That was just poor running from Lewis...

 

[MMHS]

Hmmm he was wayy in. Unlucky way to get out.

Actually casual. Since the TV replay was introduced, it only tells that, batsmen have to be more careful.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Poor Captaincy by Sarfraz, should have taken the appeal back...

We play to win. And Shadab didn't deliberately collide with Lewis.

 

[bleaf27]

What was that fielder doing anyways , he had nothing to do with the throw nor to back the throw .. just running around blindly ?

 

[Syed1]

Get Shadab innnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfraz's experience with QG of defending low totals should come handy today.

Even sarfaraz' dog would defend this total with these spinners on this pitch.

 

[Syed1]

What was that fielder doing anyways , he had nothing to do with the throw nor to back the throw .. just running around blindly ?

Exuberance of youth

 

[troodon]

WI should win this easily.

Pitch looks like a good wicket to bat on.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Don't think its that difficult a pitch to bat on.

Pak top order messed it up.

 

[Madplayer]

Amazing to see how tanvir's legs become usain bolt's legs when the batsmen try to take quick singles off his bowling.

 

[Madplayer]

Collision. Shehzad looks hurt.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Seems lik Shehzad has broken a rib or two...

 

[Square Drive]

Nasty collision!

 

[Madplayer]

Ohh man! They are going to carry him off.

 

[Syed1]

What happened... cricinfo isn't updating. Is Shezzy ok???

 

[Barragan]

Shehzad looks in bad shape

Looks like he may have a neck injury

Horrible

 

[Watsupdoc]

This looks serious. Hope he's ok.

Is he gone unconscious?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

What happened... cricinfo isn't updating. Is Shezzy ok???

Smashed himself into waltons by accident. Looks really bad

 

[Big Mac]

Shehzad looks in bad shape

Looks like he may have a neck injury

Horrible

I'm going with concussion and the neck brace is purely precautionary.

 

[Madplayer]

What happened... cricinfo isn't updating. Is Shezzy ok???

They are carrying him off. He isnt moving. Looks really bad.

 

[uberkoen]

Looks really serious. Hope it's only whiplash at the worst.

 

[Indiafan]

Really, really hope he is ok. Looks nasty.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

I'm worried. This looks very serious. He hasn't even twitched. I'm just hoping it doesn't end his career.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Looks so bad.

Hope he doesnt have cervical injury.

 

[blue_champion]

Damn I hope he is ok...that looked nasty

 

[Watsupdoc]

At first I thought he was overreacting but this looks very serious.

 

[MMHS]

Have u seen such a runout before? Apart from that cook and kohli one.

I think, Tendulkar was out at Eden similarly (he was comfortably home otherwise). Inzi couple of times got run out without placing the bat, when once his toe was touching the line. Long back, in initial stages of TV Replay, I think once MoYo or Hooper tried to avoid being hit by the ball by jumping - ball stuck the sticks when both legs were in air (& batsman was behind wicket). Several similar incidence as well, for which SAF (Arthur was the Coach then!!!) adopted a tactics - his batsmen used to thump the bat on ground with other hand, at the point of contact.

 

[Syed1]

Is he moving or not?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

What happened... cricinfo isn't updating. Is Shezzy ok???

Ambulance being called.

 

[troodon]

Shehzad looks seriously hurt. He is pretty much knocked out.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I've never seen a collision this bad.

 

[bleaf27]

This isn't a broken rib , just precautionary measures likely , possible concussion

 

[dauntless]

This looks real bad!!

 

[Ellipsism]

Is he moving or not?

He's conscious

 

[Barragan]

I'm going with concussion and the neck brace is purely precautionary.

His neck felt the full force of the runner and that too from the back

Hope it is a concussion because that would be less threatening

 

[Hamza_]

Oh my God.
