*Official* Pakistan in the West Indies

[Dasa]

Its than and not then.

No, it's not.

 

[Pratters]

No, it's not.

Right my mistake.

 

[Nate]

Ahh... Afridi attack. He`s still got it.

I reckon his bowling should be very good against the Windies.

What do I win?

Just a word of advice, but if you're going to try and correct what someone has said, firstly it'd make sense not to make a mistake in your correction, and secondly it'd be a good thing to check what you're attempting to correct isn't already right, as in this case it was.

Read again what I said :

I did, you mentioned from the India series on, which reads as the India series, not selected portions.

Afridi failed in the first three odis in India. In his last 6 odi matches, he has consistently contributed giving good starts or taking wickets with the ball

What relevance to his batting does taking wickets have?

Absolutely none.

And I really dont know how ou got that he scored less than 100 runs in the remaining 5 matches in India. 109 is more than 100 the last time I checked.

Well, I do apologise, but those 9 runs don't make my point invalid really, do they?

 

[badgerhair]

Has anyone got any idea why Pedro Collins hasn't been picked for the Test?

And, by the looks of things, WI seem to be preparing to bat Bravo at six and pick four specialist bowlers, although I suppose they may be thinking of moving Wavell HInds down the order.

Cheers,

Mike

Gayle?

Gayle was the only centurion in this series vs Pak... and the only centurion for WI in the SA series.

which changes the fact that hes not very good in tests and his technique hasnt improved one iota since his debut and that he hasnt matured one bit as a player in tests how?

I know that Marc but mistakes can happen.

I did, you mentioned from the India series on, which reads as the India series, not selected portions.

I said starting from the India series which can imply either he started performing consistently from the beginning or from som epoint in the series.

What relevance to his batting does taking wickets have?

Consistent performer would take both things into account

Well, I do apologise, but those 9 runs don't make my point invalid really, do they?

You dont need to apologise it was a mistake and as I said, not a big deal. Doesnt change the point but when you go out of the way to point things usually on people, I thought you wouldnt wimd some one doing the same. 9 runs have no relvence to the point you are making though as you said.

 

[marc71178]

I know that Marc but mistakes can happen.

Not when you're supposedly correcting something I'd typed which didn't need it.

Apart from the bit about batting that is...

 

[Pratters]

Not when you're supposedly correcting something I'd typed which didn't need it.

What No? It just happened.

Apart from the bit about batting that is...

I was saying about him being a consistent performer.

 

[marc71178]

Which is why you made no mention of it when replying to discussions about his batting...

 

[Beleg]

Pretty good start by the Pakistanies. Now if they can get one of these two (Chanders and Lara), it would be a near perfect first session.

 

[Adamc]

Lara obviously looking to make up for missing the ODI series, 41* off 38...

 

[Beleg]

GOD!

Lara is ripping Pakistanies into shreds.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Lara absolutely taking Kaneria to school. Another astonishing century in the works.

 

[Beleg]

Liam, roseboy, anyone watching this????

Absolutely brilliant. Lara truly is a god among mortals.

 

[superkingdave]

yep. just turned over after the end of the England game and saw his assault on Kaneria, much more interesting than the mauling of the tigers. Hope Lara stays in all day

 

[Beleg]

Hope Lara stays in all day

Hopefully not!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I wish bloody fox sports would bother to show one or the other of these series.

 

[superkingdave]

what an innings, and what a way to go to his century!

 

[Beleg]

One of the best centuries I have ever seen. Brought it about with a consecutive six over extra-cover (where it landed near the pakistani supporters pavillion); you can't top that.
