*Official* Pakistan in the West Indies

[SJS]

Gah, the muppets have got Afridi.. Feel like turning off

They didnt get him. He palyed a less "mature" shot

 

[Duncan]

Good to see WI finally winning a match... I would hate for them to host the World Cup w/out all their fan's support because of their crappy performances... atleast Pakistan went down fighting... Afridi has been extremely consistent as of late...

contrasting last over, a magnificent drive by akmal followed by a genuiene outside edge

nahhhhh mate, those ppl over thier are cricket crazy & are very emotional, WI may be lossing all the time but when they win a game its like they celebrate has if their team hasn't been loosing all the time

 

[aussie]

8th wicket down.....well it looks as if the kensington oval will be having a winning farewell before it is reconstructed.

 

[Deja moo]

What would the combined odds on West Indies winning this test and Afridi hitting a century have been ?

 

[Adamc]

Five for Gayle, WI win.

 

[Beleg]

While statistics might not show it, Afridi HAS turned a (slightly) new leaf since the Australian tour.

Seen how empty the ground was?? When I was in Jamaica it wasn't Gayle, Sarwan and Lara that the people were talking about at all.. I worry for West Indian cricket, but for teams to excel I guess you have to have teams at the bottom too..

 

[PAKMAN]

CONGRATS windies on their win they out played pakistan ,will be interesting to see the pakistan fight back

 

[sledger]

with the absence of youhana a lot will depend on the form of the returning inzamam and younis kahn, i cant really understand why pakistan performed so poorly in this match, i must say i predicted a pakistan win, but take nothing away from the west indies, well played!

 

[shaka]

Congrats to WI, good victory. Gayle showed his strength in batting and bowling

 

[honestbharani]

yeah, I never thought Windies would win a test match this year. Well done.

 

[Shoaib]

WI won only becuse pakistan were playing without their three main players.If Inzi and youhan were in the match,then WI would have lost by big margin and Pakistan are definitly going to win the second test.There is not even 1% chance of WI to win the second test.Whatever i've just said may look silly but thats truth based on the fact that pakistan have to win the second test if they want to go back home with some respect left.

Why, how would they have helped the bowling then?

he said 3 best players

inzi
youhana
malik


malik can bowl too! doubt it would have made a huge difference, but they would have made a bigger total in the first innigs and hence had to chase less in the second and had amuch better chance of winnin.g

Sami a Test match winner?

 

[deeps]

conceeding 345 and 371 isn't TOO bad..it's not good, but it's not a whalloping either.

The bowling did not lose them the match, the batting did
