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

[octavian]

10 runs off the over.. plz get get gul or Rana back

 

[Bilsher007]

WEll GUL is into ATTACK. Must get those yorkers on track.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

need gul or rana back instead of hafeez.. oh inzi when will you learn ??

it was the rite thing to do to stick with the spinners - taking the pace off the ball

 

[Rob H]

Was that a slower ball bouncer by Gul?

 

[Bilsher007]

what a fine swinging yorker by gul

 

[Rob H]

Cover drive for 4. Great shot by Smith.

 

[Bilsher007]

Slighty over pictched by gul ...need to get it into the blockhole

 

[MIG]

Excellent work by Pakistan - and full marks to Inzi for playing to our strength ie spinners!

 

[Oxy]

201-6

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

4th dismissal for Kami in the match.. could easily have been 5 had the caught lara

But ... he did catch Lara. To make it 5, wouldn't he have to catch Lara twice???

 

[Rob H]

played over the keeper by Smith. 4 more to him.

 

[Bilsher007]

I think inzi must bowl the next 3 overs by spinners, seee another four in this gul over. We can't afford to give these bonus runs to windies.

 

[classic]

bad move by inzi take gul off now

 

[akramd]

220 is still a good score. Come on guys, this team was bundled out for 85 by mediacore indian bowlers. we should have got them out for 150 or 175. we have let them score over 200+. its all becos of our rana and kaneria.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

another boundary - should have stuck with kaneria

 

[Rob H]

206/6 off 47.

 

[classic]

ran will get a wicket now i think

 

[octavian]

expensive gul over.....230 pretty much on here.. unless we pick Smith up

 

[Bilsher007]

Ohhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo rana into the attack. what's wrong with inzi, should have kept kaneria or malik or hafeez ON.

 

[octavian]

Rana uncle is also a maulvi now ?

 

[mooz]

ran should only bowl at the death... I am not kidding.

 

[Oxy]

Ohhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo rana into the attack. what's wrong with inzi, should have kept kaneria or malik or hafeez ON.

Some want him on for his 'bowling at the death' abilities. Some just want him dead....

 

[akpower]

nothing wrong with inzi there at least rana is the best death bowler we have.

 

[Usman]

4 runs!

 

[Rob H]

flicked fine to fine leg. Why bowl slowies every ball? It becomes predictable.

 

[kashmiri]

why bring rana naved on

last three overs should have been
hafeez
danish
rao

 

[Oxy]

Rana uncle is also a maulvi now ?

Beard = Maulvi?

 

[Oxy]

Beauty yorker by Rana saab

 

[pak_all_the_way]

rana is a joke

 

[Oxy]

Poor full toss down the legside - hit for 4.

 

[Usman]

another 4!

 

[Rob H]

full toss on leg stump. /Rana punished again to fine leg.

 

[kashmiri]

was the yorker the 4th ball or the 2nd ball, i am following the match on cricinfo and am not sure which ball is being referred to here

 

[Bilsher007]

Boundary off rana, why the bloody hell the third man is'nt plugged with a fielder. Pakistan is giving bonus runs with NO THIRD MAN. WAKE UP INZAMAM !

VEry bad choice giving rana a over, rana gives another boundary. Inzamam has to be retarded to give rana a out of form bowler a over at this point in match.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

195/6 off 46. 230 a possibility.

Yeah, when I started watching around 20 overs I doubted they would get over 190. The WI have picked up the pace quite a lot.

Eish, nice 6 there. 16 from the over.

 

[Usman]

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

 

[Rob H]

6 outta the ground. Rana just being read like a book. Poor poor bowling

 

[Oxy]

222-6 off 48

2 overs left.

 

[kashmiri]

i will jump of the balcony if rana is given the 50th over

 

[classic]

rana say goodbye to wc 2007 for now

 

[Sparhawk]

uh-oh

worried

 

[pak_all_the_way]

i give up hope on rana

 

[Bilsher007]

Guess what rana has been hit for six, about 14/ 15 runs off the over. Very move to bring him back in the attack.

 

[kashmiri]

Current partnership 33 runs, 3.0 overs, RR: 11.00 (Bravo 6, Smith 26)

 

[octavian]

why the hell is fine leg up in the circle ?? who has fine leg up in last 3 overs ??

 

[akpower]

Beard = Maulvi?

i was abt to say the same thing. unfortunately among most pakistanis beard=maulvi. an over simplistic way to think abt things...

 

[mooz]

Smith's missed run out by Akmal may have been the most costly error of the day.

 

[classic]

outttt

 

[Toony™®]

7 down

 

[The Godfather]

six

 

[Kamran]

Yes got him

 

[Rob H]

Smith's gone Easily caught by Inzi. What a great camio though.

 

[kashmiri]

correction
Current partnership 39 runs, 3.1 overs, RR: 12.31 (Bravo 6, Smith 32)

why bowl rana, why not rao if we had not run out of options

 

[JustAnotherFan]

The wicket had to come!

 

[Usman]

Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

What the hell inzi not persisting with spinners, YESSS GUl picks up another wicket. Dwayne smith out after a cameo innings.

 

[akramd]

could someone kill this guy rana. he is killing. who the **** said he is the best bowler in slog overs. he is crap. period.

 

[Sabika]

who by who

 

[classic]

inzi is so calm when he took that catch...he knows inside we have done well ...and so do we

 

[12thMan]

Smith's missed run out by Akmal may have been the most costly error of the day.

YK dropped Sarwan when he was on zero

 

[Sabika]

cricinfo way behind as ussual

 

[Saj]

A damaging innings from Smith there.

Lets be honest here. If somebody had said to me that we would have Windies about 230 or so after their 50 overs - I'd have taken it

 

[kashmiri]

why not bowl spinners in the end, or am i being plain silly

 

[Bilsher007]

Rao has bowled beautifully alongwith gul, why the hell not bring him back if inzi wanted a faster bowler to bowl the last few overs. Rana OUT OF WORLD CUP 2007 !

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

What in the world is going on??? I thought Navid was a good bowler in the death overs.

38 off 3 overs, by the tail-enders. I just hope it does not come back to haunt us.

 

[jattafridi]

smith kicking rana ass haha

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I'm putting my predictions on around 235.

 

[akpower]

What in the world is going on??? I thought Navid was a good bowler in the death overs.

38 off 3 overs, by the tail-enders. I just hope it does not come back to haunt us.

u cant call smith a tailender

 

[Sabika]

hes out of sorts i dont know why we are playinghim right now
hes out of form sami is surely better

 

[mooz]

YK dropped Sarwan when he was on zero

Smith made his 32 off 15 balls
Thats pretty beastly.

 

[kashmiri]

i guess there had to be a cameo/damaging knock by someone. if we can limit windies to 230, then we have probably done real good

 

[Oxy]

could someone kill this guy rana. he is killing. who the **** said he is the best bowler in slog overs. he is crap. period.

Calm down pal. Noone is killing anyone!

 

[Bilsher007]

Gul has bowled greatly, last over should be given to a spinner or rao .

 

[akramd]

rana is crap. period.

 

[Kamran]

Poor throw from akmal

 

[mooz]

Rana will pull it back in the last over.

 

[Rob H]

228/7 off 49

 

[Saj]

228 for 7.

last over now

 

[Sabika]

watch the pitch make a fool of us now
do you all think its going to be good for us
the end of the west indiies innings is telling us that it is a good batting track
i think we can win

 

[classic]

ok folks how many off the last over?
