WI v Pak [Group D/Game 1] WI Inns [241-9/50 overs]

[Sabika]

i can see them making around 200 if everythng goes alright
and we can knock that off no problem

 

[Lara400]

Bang!!!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Good response by kaneria with a googly to lara

 

[Rob H]

100/3 off 29

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

gotta bring on hafeez

 

[pak_all_the_way]

hafeez comes into the attack

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan must take wickets at regular intervals, hafeez now into the attack.

 

[Kamran]

Hafeez into the attack

 

[Usman]

Hafeez in for Rao

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

and hafeez is into the attack, good move

 

[Bilsher007]

Lara and samuels have to be dismissed quickly otherwise west indies might get a competitive target.

 

[mooz]

we always bring our bowlers out of the attack an over too late. Happened to Gul, now happened with Rao. Good spells by both bowlers regardless.

 

[pak_all_the_way]

lara 2 dot balls

 

[pak_all_the_way]

hafeez to lara another dot ball

 

[pak_all_the_way]

nazir again good fielding

 

[Kamran]

Good start from hafeez and good fielding to back him up

 

[iafzal]

Nazir is good enough to be included just for his fielding

 

[Usman]

Pakistan's fielding has been very good so far, a huge improvement is visable.

 

[Rob H]

Well what a way to say to Kaneria, i'm not bothered about you mate. Good batting Samuels.

 

[Salman]

Goes for the big one..... 4 to Samuals

 

[Salman]

Battle is on..... Kanera Vs Samuals

SIX

 

[Wazeeri]

Kaneria VS Lara
Only 1 winner

 

[Rob H]

and now the 6. Samuels murdering danny boy

 

[Kamran]

six

 

[Usman]

What a 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Samuels hits a four and now a six off kaneria... some battle this is now turning to

 

[akpower]

uh oh another 6

 

[TheSaint]

Samuels has really turned it on- great clean hitting

 

[Rob H]

edged and a lucky 4 to 3rd man. Well bowled, unlucky Danish.

 

[Salman]

14 off the over so far....

 

[immubhai]

Dani bhai ki lag gaai

 

[akpower]

shd be bowling flatter to samuels, danish..

 

[Kamran]

unlucky could have been out

 

[Rob H]

stumped is he. it goes to 3rd umpire

and he's easily safe.

14 off the over though, a big one for Windies.

 

[Usman]

Kaneria unlucky and Pakistan paying the price!

 

[Salman]

Kami appeals.....


BOX

 

[akpower]

outside edge samuels getting excited again... but 4 more

 

[TheSaint]

Third umpire!!!! not out

 

[Salman]

Samuals safe....

 

[Kamran]

Not out

 

[Salman]

call that a roar!!!!!

 

[Lara400]

And Kaneria wonders why he is not part of the one day set up!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Poor field placement by inzamam, that last boundary should not have happened. Where was the slip fielder or the gully fielder ???

Samuels survives a stumping chance

 

[TheSaint]

This is the time to get Gul or Rana back for a few overs--spin from both ends is a bit dodgy with Lara in and Samuels in this mood

 

[hasbeen]

need a wicket badly. either one will do. lara playing the anchor role.

 

[Kashif]

This phase of bowling would explain why Kaneria does not feature a lot in the ODI team. He does not cope well when batsmen attack him. Though he could have picked up samuels with the stumping.

 

[omorst7]

Any link to watch live online.pls

 

[Rob H]

That's a good over by Hafeez. 3 from it

118/3 off 32

 

[TheSaint]

Hafeez is a clever bowler and looks easy but is actually quite deceptive with subtle changes in pace and line

 

[mooz]

Poor field placement by inzamam, that last boundary should not have happened. Where was the slip fielder or the gully fielder ???

Samuels survives a stumping chance

I think Inzi is a lazy and uninspired captain, but few captains would have given a slip to DK after the 6 and the 4.

 

[godzilla]

so ends the experiment with kaneria then, i bet he gets another chance at the next game and then hes out for the series.

hes getting destryed.

 

[NorthStar]

early overs have put Pressure on WIndies
they have to Attack Attack to get decent score

 

[Salman]

Kanerai Vs Samuals part 2...

 

[Bilsher007]

Kaneria has bowled well overall, inzamam should have a slip fielder for kaneria. Need to get samuels and lara out quickly.

 

[Rob H]

Danish bowling plenty of Wronguns to Lara.

121/3 off 33

 

[TheSaint]

to be fair 250 is achievable and looks like we have started well enough to restrict them to this or less- the pitch is getting more solid/hard and the ball is coming on to the bat better

 

[Bilsher007]

Kaneria bowls another tidy over. Inzamam is being a bit defensive with his field placements with regards to kaneria. Need to keep that slip fielder.

 

[Salman]

Ok guys, leaving the office now..... see you all in an hour... hopefully WI all out for 160...

 

[Monsee]

we always bring our bowlers out of the attack an over too late. Happened to Gul, now happened with Rao. Good spells by both bowlers regardless.

Why is it that Bob or Inzi never have any idea about this but us 'ACCs' always know all these intricacies...always

 

[classic]

by introducing spinners pakistan has clearly taken the pace off and wi's are having to work hard for their runs taking some risks, as long as they keep it under 4 an over we can be alright i suppose. No big scores on the card today..230 - 240 i think looks getable.

 

[Kamran]

lbw appeal looked close

 

[Oxy]

Was hitting - but you cannot give those.

 

[Rob H]

126/3 off 34. Drinks time

 

[Oxy]

Drinks

126-3

 

[mooz]

Why is it that Bob or Inzi never have any idea about this but us 'ACCs' always know all these intricacies...always

I bet you its because my IQ is twice that of Inzi, and I may be overestimating Inzi's mental prowess.

 

[BOOM BOOM]

WI 126-3 after 34 overs game evenly poised!

 

[Bilsher007]

Drinks break now. So guys what kind of target you think will be achievable for pakistan ? and do you guys think that the wicket will lose it's bouncy element when pakistan come out to bat ?

 

[Toony™®]

i reckon its a 250+ pitch.

 

[Toony™®]

Drinks break now. So guys what kind of target you think will be achievable for pakistan ? and do you guys think that the wicket will lose it's bouncy element when pakistan come out to bat ?

i reckon they will score around 220-230

 

[MCMLXXXII]

i reckon its a 250+ pitch.

I believe that you can chase a score of 280 on this pitch. It looks really good at the moment.

 

[Kamran]

If we keep them below 260 we should win

 

[Ahmad]

17 overs to go. If we can cut them off at anything below 230, I'd say we've done a decent job. A wicket here would be great. Break the partnership and get smith onto the middle.

 

[Oxy]

I think its a 275 pitch for the Windies. Whether we can chase (with the extra pressure), who knows

 

[Oxy]

All things considered - we have fielded really well. Thats a plus point.

 

[mooz]

I think its a 275 pitch for the Windies. Whether we can chase (with the extra pressure), who knows

surely u don't think they will get 275.

 

[Oxy]

Lara blasts DK for a lovely six.

 

[Rob H]

Wowie, i thought that was only a gentle push. Just shows how short the boundaries are.

Cut for 4 now. 137/3 off 35. Windies starting to motor now.

 

[TheSaint]

WI will do very well to get 250 today and now it looks like it - but that means that the pitch is allowing strokeplay which suits us fine!

 

[Oxy]

surely u don't think they will get 275.

Windies? Sure I do.

 

[Bilsher007]

Ohhhh dear lara smashes amazing six and four off kaneria !
