West Indies v Pakistan | 4th ODI | Gros Islet | 7/21/13 l Pakistan Innings

[HamzaSaeen]

I salute those geniuses who came up with DL method.
I mean it must be hard to come up with something so ridiculously complicated.
They should be given Nobel Prize for maths, if there is something like that.

 

[KB-24]

Unfair ridiculous target

That's what you get for playing tuk tuk brand of cricket !! We deserve it!

 

[HASHAM2]

so if 35 Overs match

18 Overs 142 Runs to win

 

[Osman]

What are they waiting for now get on with the game for gods sake!

 

[WebGuru]

Both situations are not good looking with Misbah and Hafeez on crease...

232 in 40 overs means Required RR of 7.13

210 in 35 overs means Required RR of 7.88

 

[A.M.]

it might be 30 overs

 

[WebGuru]

wre defo not getting that..beyond our reach unless misbah does a

Yup in both cases situation is tough...

 

[waqar goraya]

If it comes down to 210 runs in 35 overs it means 142 runs needed in 18 overs...

So 142 runs in 108 balls mean a Required RR of 7.88 with Misbah and Hafeez on crease...

This is a worrying scenario for Pakistan now, An hour has passed since rain intervened ....

We are bound to get around 35 overs

 

[jattafridi]

no way Pakistan winning now

misbah bad luck continues

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Pakistan will lose the game if one of the two doesn't get out early.

 

[A.M.]

inspection in 10 minutes

 

[Indiafan]

Come with 8 wickets in hand and Umar and Afridi still to come, a RRR of around 8 for 18 overs is easy

 

[Sakss]

Both situations are not good looking with Misbah and Hafeez on crease...

232 in 40 overs means Required RR of 7.13

210 in 35 overs means Required RR of 7.88

this will most likely go to 9 or 10 rpo in about 5-7 overs time_old

 

[KB-24]

If losing this series means Misbah and Whatmore get sacked for good then so be it !! And please take Hafeez with you too!

 

[HASHAM2]

last match main in last 15 Overs pakistan scored 120 runs

aur iss waqat 7 wicket hath main thi

 

[A.M.]

hw much will it be if it is reduced to 30 overs

 

[Sakss]

Come with 8 wickets in hand and Umar and Afridi still to come, a RRR of around 8 for 18 overs is easy

LOL....whats he gonna do?? cyeah lose his wicket after scoring one and put more pressure.

 

[waqar goraya]

The umpires will have an inspection in 10 minutes from now.

-cricinfo

The sky is being reported clear for 15 or 20 minutes, why can not umpires have an inspection now?

 

[Nuekboi]

I have faith in Sohail and Akmal

 

[WebGuru]

this will most likely go to 9 or 10 rpo in about 5-7 overs time_old

The only way is if Misbah follows Samuels today...

 

[Sakss]

last match main in last 15 Overs pakistan scored 120 runs

aur iss waqat 7 wicket hath main thi

thankks to umer akmal and wahab in the last 5 overs.

 

[HASHAM2]

thankks to umer akmal and wahab in the last 5 overs.

Plus This time around Wicket is more Flat

 

[WebGuru]

A guy @ Crcinfo

andy f: "as of 9.34pm 21/07/13 I am officially starting a petition to scrap duckworth/lewis method of match settling it was pathetic to start with and never improved"

 

[GuruG]

Kaash ! Misbah Bowler hota

 

[Wooster]

I salute those geniuses who came up with DL method.
I mean it must be hard to come up with something so ridiculously complicated.
They should be given Nobel Prize for maths, if there is something like that.

That's the way the world works. Smart people are there to set up systems like these, so that village simpletons like you can look up a print out and figure out the revised target. How hard is it to look up a table? (I know Pollock screwed up even this simple task during 2003 WC, but that's no excuse).

BTW, the unofficial Nobel prize equivalent for Maths is the Fields Medal.

 

[iafzal]

These umpires sure taking their time. It will be an impossible task because it will likely be reduced to 30 overs with us needing about 110 runs in last 13 overs or so

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

No way is Pakistan winning the game and the series from here on, all thanks to Misbah and his idiotic deputy. Well done Lads !

 

[WebGuru]

TBH i have seen a better ground staff and umpires when Bangladesh toured Zimbabwe recently...

 

[Zain]

Would be a blessing is disguise if the game was rained off

 

[iafzal]

TBH i have seen a better ground staff and umpires when Bangladesh toured Zimbabwe recently...

concur your honesty although I did not see that match but I can imagine. Matches in WI always have issues, maybe the culture not sure.

 

[uberkoen]

Pakistan will be requiring 91 runs in 13 overs if the match is reduced to 30 overs !

 

[Dr_Bassim]

What's the fuss about?

The way I see it, there was no way we were chasing 262 off 50 overs.

Not enough batsmen to stay long enough at the crease.

A 110 off 13 overs might actually do it for us. Cuz we have enough blind type tullay Baaz.

I don't see how you guys are deluded into thinking that 262 would have been chased while Misbah and Hafeez were at crease.

 

[Osman]

Really ridiculous stuff from the match officials. Get on with the game!

 

[Zain]

West Indies generally seem unable to hold international standard events there always some kind of issue regards pitch, stadium ect

 

[iafzal]

Match starting at 5pm local time. i cannot see it going for more than 75mins tops so perhaps 35 overs

 

[Nuekboi]

Altho, Hafeez is not a bad T20 bat especially on batting track

 

[Osman]

No rain yet they do not want to start the game. Pathetic

 

[Nuekboi]

Who are these organisers and why do they still have jobs?

 

[Dan08]

If it is a 30 over game then you've got 6 overs of dross to hit from Dwayne Bravo.

 

[ritzy_123]

even the commies on cricinfo are getting frustrated as play should have been resumed by now

 

[waqar goraya]

Sun is shinning since more than half an hour. but we don't have an official word yet

 

[saiyan0312]

we cant depend on lower order to score at 10 RR ... they have to come back with guns blazing. no tuk tuk.

 

[Yossarian]

I think you mean 187 for 2 in 40 overs.overall target would be 230.if the game is shortened midway through a chase,RRR generally increases then decreasing

You are correct, my mistake. Used the par score D/L calculater if match is cut-off, not reduced.

 

[A.M.]

so inspection must be going on a this moment

 

[MohsanAslam]

I hope hafeez doesnt get distracted by some random towel after they resume

 

[asif9138]

if game resume again..then
sone pe suhaga....

 

[iafzal]

Incompetence of the highest order from the WI staff.
Really sad it comes to this that staff is not capable of doing their job

 

[WebGuru]

Nice Comment for ICC and WICB

Vishal Long Island Trinio: "No rain yet no play and a 20 to 30 min wait before play starts, good luck selling cricket to the American market"

 

[asif9138]

31 over game...sky sport

 

[ritzy_123]

31 overs game sure now sky sport.. but i don't know about the runs

 

[saiyan0312]

What is wrong with the officials. why so long for inspections and why so long for play to start. at this rate the rain will come back.

 

[Nuekboi]

The skies are shining and no play, pathetic.

These Windians are almost as bad as us at this stuff

 

[ali_ed2006]

31 over match

 

[asif9138]

4 bolwer will bowl 6 overs
1 will bowl 7 overs.

 

[uberkoen]

189 in 31 overs is the revised target

 

[kamran_uk]

189 from 31 overs so 121 more off 84

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

121 off 84

 

[A.M.]

so 31 overs it is

 

[Indiafan]

Pakistan target is 189 from 31 overs with no PP overs left

 

[saiyan0312]

189 from 31 overs..... 121 from 84 balls.... ok time for hitting... NO PP.

 

[uberkoen]

No power play overs left?

 

[iafzal]

OK need 121 more off 14 overs.
A very tough ask I think. RRR is over 8.65

 

[HamzaSaeen]

That's the way the world works. Smart people are there to set up systems like these, so that village simpletons like you can look up a print out and figure out the revised target. How hard is it to look up a table? (I know Pollock screwed up even this simple task during 2003 WC, but that's no excuse).

BTW, the unofficial Nobel prize equivalent for Maths is the Fields Medal.

Even looking up that table it doesn't make much sense to me, neither does the process.
for your information I haven't even started high school yet, so you can see where I'm coming from.

 

[asif9138]

basically we left with 14 overs?

 

[hur rizvi]

121 reqd. off 84 balls

lets see how misbah do tuk tuk now

 

[Dr_Bassim]

189 target 31 overs

Lol. we are gone.

 

[WebGuru]

189 in 31 overs...

121 needed in 84 balls...

Required RR 8.64

 

[Warrior868]

121 off 84 revised target

 

[ali_ed2006]

31 overs. Target 189

 

[waqar goraya]

189 runs required from 31 overs

Pakistan need 121 more runs to win

 

[A.M.]

8.6 RRR this is really unfair

 

[HamzaSaeen]

no PP overs
189 in 31 overs

 

[asif9138]

run rate is more then 8

 

[ritzy_123]

4.55 pm Wake up people, we start in 5 minutes. It is a 31 over game. The target is 189

soo 5 mins

 

[iafzal]

If umpires were any good we would be chasing 150 in 20 or so overs. Much more gettable score.

 

[Sandman]

lets start off with some tuk tuk pretty please....

 

[asif9138]

can pakistan win this now?

 

[Sherlock]

No PP?

Wow.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I guess that's why it was crucial to play fast at the start of the match.

And not go into tuk tuk.

If we had around 90 runs right now...

target would have been easier.

 

[jattafridi]

can pakistan win this now?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
