*Official* Group A Discussion - Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, India

Predictions for today's match??????
Pakistan or Westindies?????

 

[Shri]

Nazir is about as good as Afridi when he bats. Plays one brilliant knock every year. Over hyped player. I would rather have Salman Butt or Taufeeq Umar opening tbh.

I can't see the Windies B-team beating this Pakistan team.

Pakistan easily.

Hopefully Andre Fletcher can be given another chance again, he's a mean hitting machine and so young too. Smacks of a young Gilchrist. Tons of potential there he should be playing in the first XI anyway.

you were doing fine until you mentioned the word Salman Butt.

Some may argue that it's a C-team....

Yes, Devon Smith, Andre Fletcher, Nikita Miller, Darren Sammy, Dave Bernard and Kemar Roach are B-team players. But Tino Best and Floyd Reifer are clearly C-team players. Travis Dowlin and Chadwick Walton are D-team players.

Funnily enough, Dowlin has outperformed Reifer against Bangldesh!

I am a fan. 24 years old and has 8 ODI 100s already. If he finds his touch and some consistency, he can be a goodish player.

First wicket goes.

This may not last long. Don't think I'll bother staying up.

 

[King Pietersen]

Is Imran Nazir one of the best fielders in the Pakistan side? Don't think Wasim's mentioned it....

 

[shivfan]

I predict that once again Bernard and Sammy will be at the wicket, once again trying to resurrect yet another failing WI batting performance....

Windies looking very poor here. What a sorry state their cricket is in.

Rather, what a sorry state the WICB is in!

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, depressing. I think they should have invited Bangladesh instead, if nothing else then to give the West Indies an incentive to get their house in order. Bangladesh are far better than this team too.

 

[Faisal1985]

Another one gone....its only a matter of time......

Good confidence booster for Pak heading into a game against a tougher side on Sat.

 

[shivfan]

Well, in the three ODIs played in the Caribbean recently, Bangladesh beat Reifer's men 3-0....

 

[andyc]

FMD this is dismal stuff. Windies to be all out in double figures.

 

[shivfan]

This is hilarious!

47-7!!!

Thank you, Julian Hunte....

 

[Pothas]

This is really bad for cricket, should never have been allowed to come here.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Painful to watch, tbh. Feels like I'm intruding on a private funeral.

Super, super bowling from Gul & Aamer tho.

What's the source of aggro between the Windies bored (sic) and the senior players? Hadn't really paid too much attention what with The Ashes going on this summer. Something clearly needs to be done tho.
