World Twenty20 Warm-up | Pakistan v Windward Islands | Gros Islet | 27/Apr/2010

[Boi]

Really worried about Asif. Could go for plenty on these flat wickets...

...as I speak. 67/1 CRICINFO.

 

[ZedSheikh]

cricinfo starts working

 

[the Great Khan]

Hafeez has always been a good domestic t20 player but I think the international game takes time to get used too..let's hope he handles things better in his second stint..he is a dedicated player which is a start..hopefully he'll keep mr sania out of the team!

 

[don1990]

just saw on geo pakistan won by 68 runs.....

 

[A.M.]

geo news ak win by 68 runs so that means windwrd whatever allout for 92

 

[Boi]

Lesporis gone. Hafeez gets the wicket.

 

[Sir john]

i can understand ur feelings after what happened with zimbabwe cricket

zim cricket now in track and the day is not far when we again beat pak in pak.

 

[Momo]

Afridi the cobra strikes. 70/3

 

[Sledger]

nah,still its difficult to pick his 2nda..and he doesnt rely on 2nda solely..His other variations are also there to trouble the batsmen....

He might cause problems but will he be as effective as he was in England where most teams didn't know about him? I'm not sure.

 

[jawad1]

70/2 13.2 !!!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Hafeez seems to have cemented his place for Saturday witha half century and a very eco spell with a wicket

 

[Shezada]

zim cricket now in track and the day is not far when we again beat pak in pak.

LOL


try winning a world cup, or even a t20 cup, or have some top-class players from your country, THEN talk

[Sledger]

Hafeez

4.0 - 0 - 16 -1

Impressive.

 

[jawad1]

79/3 16.5

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

The windies are completely clueless against spin.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

its a mistake to send fawad above razzaq and misbah... hopefully they will not repeat that when the world cup starts

 

[Sledger]

It's like we've all been in the back to the future car. Only a true beast can conquer the realms of time and reality.

Pakistan Wins!!!

 

[Digital]

Windward Islands - 92 / 4 ( 20.0 Overs )

 

[Sledger]

WwdIs are 92/4... so are they about to lose 6 wickets for 0.

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistan win.

Disappointed with Asif today.

 

[Sledger]

92/4 in 20 overs, Pakistan win.

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

what a coverage by CRAPINFO.COM

 

[Boi]

Out of all the bowlers Asif was the worst. Not really impressed. I hope he can get it right when the first game comes around.

 

[IM NOT YOU]

lol what a pathetic game

 

[Sakss]

pak win bt 68 runs....aamir 13 runs in 4 overs

 

[Sledger]

Let's be honest, does Asif EVER perform in these side games lol?

 

[ZedSheikh]

Mohammad Asif 3 0 26 0 8.66 (2w)
Mohammad Aamer 4 0 13 1 3.25 (2w)
Mohammad Hafeez 4 0 16 1 4.00 (1w)
Abdul Razzaq 3 0 11 0 3.66 (2w)
Saeed Ajmal 3 1 12 1 4.00
Shahid Afridi 3 0 11 1 3.66 (3w)

Accept asif all bowled well

 

[Wazeeri]

Sami might be making his T20i debut.

 

[Sakss]

hafeez MOM

 

[TalhaSyed]

|Well very impressive by all bowlers bar Asif insahllah hel get sorted to the conditions b4 sat

 

[cricket_fever]

chalo bhai.....lets keep up thi spirit

 

[Sakss]

Let's be honest, does Asif EVER perform in these side games lol?

tru...he doesnt even care about these side matches

 

[jawad1]

 

[hashbb]

now lets compare coverage with aus and zimb

 

[Zu456]

Asif more than twice as expensive as any other bowler. WHy didn't sasmi play? Shouldnt they have tested him in a warm up. obviously amir is going to play so sami shopul.d have played instead of him in this warm up

 

[shahzadddd]

lol what a pathetic game

Good warm up... just need the team to have a good workout and get some time in the middle and overs under the belt.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Sakss]

anyway gr8 performance....the spin attack trio chocking the winward island

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We need to fire or else he has to go.

 

[Sledger]

tru...he doesnt even care about these side matches

Exactly. Interestingly, his first class and List A Stats are WORSE than what he does in internationals (to date).

 

[kingusama92]

hafeez MOM

Lets not bring his mom into this now.

In all seriousness though - he played well today. Good for him.

 

[Sakss]

Exactly. Interestingly, his first class and List A Stats are WORSE than what he does in internationals (to date).

lol...ya..and thats what matters really ,performing at the big stage...which most players fail to do

 

[cricket_fever]

We need to fire or else he has to go.

sami is there for replacement :Sami

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hafeez is a certainty in the 1st game against BD.

Now my worry will be that BD team has some good spinners.

 

[Sakss]

Lets not bring his mom into this now.

In all seriousness though - he played well today. Good for him.

lol....he deserves the credit tho...batted well and bowled good...did his job..hope he does the same in the competition

 

[Sledger]

sami is there for replacement :Sami

.. Dont' remind us.

 

[Sakss]

pak conceeded only 7 fours btw.....no 6s

 

[Boi]

Next up...Zimbabwe in a couple of days. Need to watch out for their spinners.

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Good warm up... just need the team to have a good workout and get some time in the middle and overs under the belt.

i agree but dont know how much good it will do us playing these very very below international standard teams.



there isnt even one player on that team who is a prospect for the national team.

 

[Sakss]

when is the zimbabwe match???day after tomorow?

 

[Sakss]

i agree but dont know how much good it will do us playing these very very below international standard teams.



there isnt even one player on that team who is a prospect for the national team.

doesnt matter what team it is...the main thing is getting used to the conditions and knowing what to do

 

[sada90]

i am disappointed.. i don't think 160 will be good enough score to defend in 20/20 world cup against big teams...our batsman failed again..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i agree but dont know how much good it will do us playing these very very below international standard teams.



there isnt even one player on that team who is a prospect for the national team.

So, this performance means nothing at all?

They won, and they should be applauded for that.

 

[khankhan]

they should have let fawad alam bowl too . jus to try him out.
its a warm up match.. nothing to loose.. u know.
once u know the game is in ur hand den one over wont really harm the game ..

 

[Sakss]

Pakistan v Zimbabwe at Gros Islet
Apr 29, 2010 (13:30 local, 17:30 GMT)

 

[Sakss]

160 is a good total to defend imo

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i am disappointed.. i don't think 160 will be good enough score to defend in 20/20 world cup against big teams...our batsman failed again..

The thing to notice is that, spinners did well and not the fast men. So, I'm now more worried about the game against Bangladesh than Australia. Australian doesn't handle spinners that well and they have packed their bowling with fast men. So, BD is a threat as far as I'm concerned. I have no issues with our batting or bowling. The only worrying part is 11 wide balls though.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

11 wides were bowled by the visitors. Vicky will not be pleased!

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Dont know why the let Aamer play the game? It should have been Sami and Asif gurantee to play.

Asif is exposed, Sami should have easily replaced him.

Still waiting..

 

[Sir john]

lol so zimbabwe beat pak in 2 matches in the history of cricket and now this guy is bragging
LOL


try winning a world cup, or even a t20 cup, or have some top-class players from your country, THEN talk

[Afridi_Fan]

They all have played against Pakistan, do you know that too?

 

[Sir john]

Next up...Zimbabwe in a couple of days. Need to watch out for their spinners.

it will be real test for pak talent,go zim go.

 

[Zaz]

Opening is gonna be a problem, no one i can see making a big score ie 50+

Questions againsy asif 2 in this format otherwise we look ok

 

[Sir john]

They all have played against Pakistan, do you know that too?

have you forget 5 wicket of blignaut against pak,all are top order wicket.
