Nah, Samuels just decided to let lose. Rao did lose some pace though, after all it is was his 9th over.

inzi always pushes his luck with the fast bowlers..why doesnt he bowl them 7 overs and then let them rest instead of waiting for the oppositon to jump on a tired bowler

Beautiful late cut by Lara.What a shot that was!!!.He got it so fine.

Ditto. It was a beauty.

 

[rodzilla1010]

i think we are letting them slip thru again here....make some changes INXI

 

[nightprowler10]

Take Kaneria off.

 

[rodzilla1010]

this should end Kaneria's World cup campaign...i think we got off cheaply..he owuld have costed us way more than those runs later on against better teams....this makes it easy to drop him once afridi comes in..

How did baldy bowl...i thought Sami was gonna play today

These guys are rollicking along nicely at the moment, around five an over through the last nine or so. Pretty much all Samuels though.

Some of the Pakistan throwing to the keeper has turned what might have been some close calls into fairly comfortable ones.

 

[rodzilla1010]

what should be good total on this pitch...??? i mean if the pitch is nothing special then Pak shouldnt have a problem chasing 230 odd

Anyone else think Shiv let his side down?

Shiv got some good quality deliveries though.

 

[rodzilla1010]

10 more overs of spin remaining...lara can still feast on PAK...if needed Inzi should give gul a ball within the next 5 overs

 

[simmy]

Shiv got some good quality deliveries though.

But to bat for that long and get out to an airy fairy shot is a bit disappointing.

I think its important for the WC that Windies win this although, I honestly can't see it happen.

They will likely post 230 and Pak will cruise maybe losing 4 or 5 on the way.

 

[nightprowler10]

Can we NOW take Kaneria off?

 

[PY]

Lovin' Samuels and Lara cruising along at the moment. Was mostly Samuels but Lara hits 10 off last over.

Just got this impression that Lara is going to monster something today, no doubt that's a kiss of death.

OT: To PY: My Mum says to remind Phil it's Mother's Day on Sunday

Dude like i said i dont blame kaneria but the ODI;s are not meant for leg spinners.....its a game for flat spinner who dont turn or dont give the ball that much loop...

and against a champion like lara...Inzi should have not picked kaneria anyway..may agianst england or nz..not India or WI

I don't see the fascination with Kaneria in ODI's. He's not a strike bowler, and bleeds away runs. I hope this is the last we see of him in ODI's.
