West Indies v Pakistan l 1st ODI | Providence | 14/7/13 l Pakistan innings

[Grunge101]

Ok, So. Would You want the top 4 bats to play like Misbah is playing now? We will talk then

Misbah will not be playing like this,had we been 50/1 and not 20/4...Taking singles is not his strong suit but he can compensate with boundaries from the very start of his innings when he isnt down under trying to stabilize a 20/4 situation..Reference: Misbah of 09.

How hard is this for you to understand???

From cricinfo:

"This is Afridi's highest score against West Indies, his previous best was 67 in December 1997"

lol. wow.

Two peaks across 16 years.

Averaged 17 before this game

 

[IAJ]

Dropped.

Was the worst bowler in the Champions Trophy.

Are you sure? I mean could he be unfit?

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Warrior868]

Bravo Sammy!

 

[lestaboy]

Goner lala out

 

[WebGuru]

Pollard getting the last laugh, well played Afridi.

 

[ViciousMachine]

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo..... Afridi gone

[Grunge101]

A 100 was too good to be true

 

[Rockstar]

[Justcrazy]

Bravo missing holder now , he was bowled out

 

[HASHAM2]

Afirdi gone slow bowl

 

[Nuekboi]

Knew it would happen

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Well Misbah come out of his shell now

 

[Square Drive]

But an excellent knock nonetheless!

 

[JellyBro]

all comes back to this

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to play a cameo here.

 

[saiyan0312]

indies look demoralized. and afridi goes... great knock by making 76 but he should have gotten the century.... but very very good knock... i rate this over that 88.

 

[Green]

Trademark 'Fridi. Did his part today.

 

[IAJ]

If he could have taken Pakistan past 200 it would have been great, but he has brought Pakistan back in this match so well played Afridi!

 

[MarkCooper]

Very good innings. His finest innings in 2 years.

 

[HASHAM2]

Hopefully Wahab play 40 run,s Inning
40 Run.s from Misbah
and we score 240 some how

 

[imshally81]

Great comeback innings

 

[Square Drive]

Now Misbah along with Wahab will have to take the score to 220.

 

[JellyBro]

can we make 240 from here?

 

[yadunoe]

good knock by lala well done

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Afridi departs. Deserves a standing ovation for single handedly bringing Pakistan back in to the game. Hope Wahab Riaz can play a decent cameo and guide us to defendable total. Well Done Boom Boom !

 

[owais1]

Misbah and Riaz will have to play freely from now on.

 

[shah_1]

 

[Justcrazy]

Not bad from , he did more than his job, others need to have played better.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Great inning, Misbah now you have to take us over 230, I can bet you can't. You are going to go back in your shell. Please prove me wrong

 

[Singham]

Pollard has the last laugh...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

230 and its Pakistan's game to lose.

 

[OmaIR1]

some people (zaid) will criticize this innings of Afridi as well...

well played innings... fearless... that's what we need.

 

[Justcrazy]

run a ball will get Pakistan to 215 here , they must make sure to bat all overs.

 

[Zain]

Misbah has to deliver now, I think they should have waits for powerplay until we had to take it, was going along nicely.

 

[ViciousMachine]

can we make 240 from here?

Should aim for 220. If we get to 200 still only 6 down, then we can push for 240, but no need to get too greedy.

 

[Asif321]

oh misses the century again deserved a 100

 

[shah_1]

Wahab Riaz needs to stay with Misbah till 45 over

 

[MoinHaroon]

can we make 240 from here?

Not if Misbah goes in his shell and tells everyone to play slow

 

[saiyan0312]

here is the list of slowest fifties

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...0;runsval1=runs;template=results;type=batting

Afridi went his usual way... however i hope he can do the same in the next matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has three spin , all front line ... ..... some how need to get a decent score , WI players not good of spin.

 

[OmaIR1]

need 220

 

[Sandman]

11 overs to go from here on, Pakistan should try and play them all.

 

[ViciousMachine]

run a ball will get Pakistan to 215 here , they must make sure to bat all overs.

100% agreed. No need to go crazy, field is spread, just try to get that run a ball. If we get to 200 still 6 down, then we can unleash last 3ish overs.

 

[shah_1]

BTW our bowling is really strong

 

[CricVet]

Misbah will not be playing like this,had we been 50/1 and not 20/4...Taking singles is not his strong suit but he can compensate with boundaries from the very start of his innings when he isnt down under trying to stabilize a 20/4 situation..Reference: Misbah of 09.

How hard is this for you to understand???

Are you doging my question for the blind love you have for MISbah? Would you also LOVE our topr 4 bats to adopt the same batting strategy? It is really simple. All they have to do is come and block block block until 30 to 40 overs.. Would you like to have those batsmen in our team. They are dime a dozen.

he can break that now.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Now all bowlers are going to look at Marshall and holding

 

[HASHAM2]

Wahab is capable batsman
can score 20 runs
we need his 20 runs

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Pakistan spinners will kill WI anyway if they post anything above 200.

 

[saiyan0312]

afridi made a good score at a good strike rate...i really hope he can show the consistency and do the same in the next few matches.

 

[coca-cola]

riaz looks like a proper tail ender... hehhehe "all rounder"

 

[HASHAM2]

Wahab play on off side

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan is not going to reach 200 with Misbah around

 

[HamzaSaeen]

continual short bowling at Wahab Riaz...

 

[owais1]

What will Pakistan get you think?
