***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2013

[Agent Nationaux]

And now he is out.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

It seems they really don't have a clue on how to approach their batting.

 

[Black_Warrior]

LOL 230 was always going to be beyond reach of these dumbos. 190 plus is enough against Pakistan and to think that they opted to bowl first..

 

[Black_Warrior]

Another Afridi special....hope this time he can carry on and make regular contributions like this....

LOL this just made me laugh..

As long as he manages to pick up wickets regularly, I am fine.. if he scores more than 5 in a match, that's a bonus

 

[theegyptian]

No idea about this series but looking at the scorecard and can't help but think of Samuel's fixing ban when I see his score today.

WI 261 off 49; Pak 68/2 after 17 - RSP - revised to 31 overs and a target of 189 (i.e. 121 off 14) and the WI are whining about it...?!

What did they want them to be set?!

 

[Daemon]

Misbah averages something ridiculous like 80+ in successful run chases now. Top 3 iirc, Dhoni averages 100 and Bevan is up there too.

Exactly, I wasn't sure what the whining was about. It was still a steep target IMO

 

[Black_Warrior]

Right but the how often do those successful run chases come? is there a stat for that? Not saying its entirely Misbah's fault but Pakistan have been perenially bad chasers.
I think you will find that Dhoni and Bevan have been in those successful chases more often.

 

[smash84]

Dhoni and Bevan are 2 of the best chasers in the history of the game. Unfair for misbah to be compared to them

He averages 50+ chasing, so I don't think it's really his fault Pakistan suck at chasing.

Can't believe he still doesn't have a 100 though..

 

[Daemon]

What if Johnson Charles actually has a 200 ODI career averaging 35 at an SR of 80+?

boggles the mind

a close fought series in the end.....Pakistan must be really bad

 

[NUFAN]

Why must Pakistan be really bad winning 3-1 away from home?

I only watched bits and pieces of the match, but it seems weird to me that WI decided to recall Devon Smith again. He really doesn't have anything going for him as an ODI player IMO.

Completely agree. He was poor when he had his first chance in the team, why the hell he's been brought back now I don't know.

it was a very closely fought series and WI are by no means the top dog in international cricket. They won with a fair bit of difficulty and the batting is just pathetic other than Misbah. The re-induction of Umar Akmal in the team seems like a good decision IMO especially now that he is keeping

 

[Fusion]

Caught the last 2 overs of the T20 match. Exciting finish and a good debut by the old man Babar. Don't really know his story and why it took him this long to debut, but good on him.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Surprised the chucker got the last over. Could never see him defending 6, you'd want someone like Badree who's more likely to bamboozle tailenders and get the required dot balls.

 

[smash84]

thank you for the match summary alvi

 

[Furball]

This has been a tedious start. Jamshed lucky to avoid a 21 ball duck, and it took 32 balls to get a run off the bat.

Turns out the ACSU wants a look at this and several other suspicious moments from the series.
