ahhh hes obviously been taking slower ball bowling lessons from Bravo, no doubt

Taylor back on. Lara going for the throat.

Oooo. LBW appeal, but big inside edge. Good spot from Bowden.

damn what a rabbish performance from pakistani team. we might as well call it a lose now. very dissappointing performance.

they are losing why not hit the ball the run rate is going over 9 now.

Batting practice.

well the pakistan team should regroup for the next match.
they should diffinatly drop rana and kaneria. i perfer sami over rana or if not sami then yasir arafat. they should bring azhar mahmood for kuneria.

i don't know they have played this game really under pressure for some reason. if we see the figure there in scorecard.

hafiz played 28 delivers for 11
yousuf 78 delivers for 37
and inzi 65 for 36

the target wasn't that big it was only under five and from where i see it WI was the weakest from the top 8. if they couldn't beat WI then they might as well pack their bags and go back home.

Bravo! Rana drags it on off the bottom edge. Fat lady warming up those pipes....

.....

Pakistan 144/7 .....another one down .....Dwyane Bravo takes one !!!!!

 

[pakster]

Malik playing a bit of a partial sighter here. Not bad going - rally missing razzaq/afridi.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not that it'll matter with regards to the outcome, but I think Rao was caught off a Bravo no-ball there.

 

[BoyBrumby]

& a golden blob from Gul now. A lovely c & b from Bravo; had to reach right down with his left hand.

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

.....

Dwyane on a hattrick !!!!!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Dwyane on a hattrick !!!!!

Not anymore. WI win by 54 runs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

He won't get it tho; Malik holes out. Thank you & goodnight.

Malik did really well, to be fair to him. Not too many other Pakistani batters come out with much credit tho.

A thoroughly professional performance from the Windies, fair play to them.

 

[Steulen]

Excellent fielding by Bravo throughout. two great catches and also nice fielding off his own bowling..that man's got some pretty good reflexes.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

The perfect start to the World Cup, results wise. Maybe it could have been closer, but at least the hosts have won.

Rao is a solid bat - would have made all the differene....Anywho, WI were amazing today - D Smith was fantatsic and it bodes well for the tournament to have a strong host.

 

[godofcricket]

187 All out..... i salute inzamam for his amazing performance, leading from the front as he ALWAYS does......came one down, and easily took the game away from West Indies.......just amazing captaincy and one of the boldest batsman i have ever seen.

 

[nightprowler10]

Can't I sacrificed my sleep for this crap. Well done to the West Indies.

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

.....

The WI bowlers were awesome .....great play by Malik !!!!!~~~~~

Hmm. Solid he may be, but the asking rate was already over 16 when he fell.
