Group D - Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland

I'm listening to commentary and though normally I like Tony Coziar, he is annoying me today.

"The fourth wicket partnership might be essential. I think it will be. Maybe. But its defintely going to be essential."


WTF?

 

[silentstriker]

What amazing boundaries by Inzy. Fat jokes aside, what a magnificent guy to watch. My favorite batsman around, I think. If I could watch anyone bat for an extended period of time, I'd pick Inzy.

2 very ordinary cricket teams playing right now.

In ODI, isn't that everyone except South Africa and Australia? And in tests, thats pretty much everyone but Australia.

 

[silentstriker]

Wow, look at that back foot shot. He just leaned back and whipped that through....


Inzy, please don't retire!

Just watched a load of the cricket in Debonairs (SA the only place where Crickets on at fast food joints?) - One thing struck me, lots of empty seats, WTF?

50 partnership p for Inzi and Yousuf in 96 balls. This is the right thing to be doing. But before the run rate goes up anymore I'd rather these guys stick it into the bowlers a lil more

Mwoah, the stadium is nicely filled up by now.

And WI need a wicket or two...fast.

And Yousuf obliges..silly.

Steulen writing the Windies' script today, clearly! Yousuf goes! Huge wicket.

and its Smith who gets the wicket. Wasnt expecting him to be the one who would be doing it. But I guess the Windies will take it. Wonder why Ramiz Raja wants to attribute Yousuf's innings S/R to reining in by Inzamam. Now that was cheap and unwanted

If I was writing the script, the next chapter would feature a wicket in sunglasses: Inzy b Gayle

Funny how the commentators assess the situation differently: Raja says Pakistan is under huge pressure, while the Windians (Bishop and Holding) seem to think Pakistan are well on top as long as they keep the wickets in hand.

Lbw b Smith works just as well as a plot development device tho.

 

[Steulen]

Smith gets his second, Inzy gone.

Game Windies, I'd say

 

[the_last_rites]

Correction I think Dwayne Smith scripted this one

Inzi gone lbw Smith

 

[Steulen]

Oh, and next in the script: Kamran Akmal goes berzerk. But not for long.

Indeed...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Golden blob for Akaml now. D*Ream surely over for Pakistan.

 

[the_last_rites]

Damnit he obviously wants to be the scriptwriter as well as the main star in this one. Looks like theres no one going to stop him from doing this as well.
