Group D - Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland

[Adamc]

Bah. Inauspicious start, want either Sarwan or Lara to make a big score.

 

[nightprowler10]

The first of many drops to come.

 

[pasag]

Gayle gone early, sucks tbh. Sarwan dropped at second slip as well, Gul bowling very well.

Camera angles seem a bit weird to anyone?

Yeah, seems a bit dodgy. They almost missed the first ball.

 

[nightprowler10]

Rana Naved sucks with or without the beard, tbh.

 

[Turbinator]

Was expecting a full house from the start tbh.

What's funny is it will be when India play in Trinidad, but not when the WI play in Jamaica.

 

[pakster]

Rana and Gul doing ok...and Sarwan looking VERY loose. Needs to calm himself down a tad.

 

[pakster]

Rana Naved sucks with or without the beard, tbh.

I think the beard suits him, however. Gives him character to with that bowling of his.

 

[Adamc]

Solid throw from Kaneria, only five metres over the keeper's head.

 

[pasag]

Dire overthrows there.

 

[Somerset]

Tend to agree, hope they manage to get that right ASAP.

Reasonable start for WI after the loss of Gayle, Sarwan looking better now but still lucky to be around.

Does anyone else think Aamer Sohail would make a brilliant story teller?

Haha, good one.

 

[Slow Love™]

Just able to tune in... Very precious to get Gayle early, from Pakistan's perspective. Looks like Chanders' has been struggling to score, after me talking up his quick-scoring ability in another thread.

I seem to often find I'm rooting for Pakistan, but I'm barracking for the West Indians here.

Even with those colors? The regular ones I mean.

 

[nightprowler10]

Kaneria has been doing well since that overthrow.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Gul bowled very nicely straight up. Rao's first over was good too, though it probably won't last.

Pitch doesn't seem too bad, but the new ball did a little and it might turn. Fairly balanced, really. 250 should be a good score.

 

[nightprowler10]

Good call. 250 would be a safe enough total here IMO.

Pakistan needs a break this partnership,at drinks WI: 58-1 in 16 overs
