Great century from yoyo.

And whoever said Windies deserve the spot more than Pakistan, I disagree. Both teams have played about the same in this tournament, the winner of this match will deserve to go to the finals.

P.S: The people who are claiming Pakistan as favorites, don't count WI out just yet, Pakistan's bowling attack isn't their very best.

 

[nightprowler10]

Wow, terrible last over from Bradshaw, what the hell happened to him? The pressure from bowling to Yoyo got to him?

 

[nightprowler10]

Who was it that said Youhana is a great runner?

Still great inning by Youhana.

Pakistan 307/8.

 

[Duncan]

307/7 all overs up... damn that's good.

 

[dudeurfriend]

Youhana run-out..... For 105

 

[nightprowler10]

307/7 all overs up... damn that's good.

307/8 according to cricinfo. I guess Malik got runout trying to get a third run.

 

[dudeurfriend]

307/7 all overs up... damn that's good.

I still think Windies are in with a chance.....

 

[Jono]

Well played Pakistan. Great knocks by Youhana and Inzy.

I can't believe how many 50s Inzy has. That was number 77... 4 in this VB Series alone.

I hope this turns out to be a good run chase, on paper the Windies have the power to get up, Gayles due big time, as is young Sarwan. Heres hoping for a quality game.

Cheers

I still think Windies are in with a chance.....

I think so too.

No great spells of bowling from the W Indies except Bradshaw who finished 3/47 (gave up 15 in the last over). Hopefully, Pakistani bowlers will do better against Lara and his boys than they did last time.

 

[dudeurfriend]

I think Afridi bowling holds the key.. If he gets few good wickets in middle overs then Pakistan will have a better chance of winning....

 

[Duncan]

Won't take an extraordinary bowling performance IMO... just a decent one and Pakistan should win. Unless of course Lara goes ballistic again. And yes, it's amazing how many fifities Inzamam has. It's sad he doesn't convert them into centuries.

 

[Beleg]

Woah. I saw the match till Hameed's dismissal and then fell asleep. What have I missed!

Anyway, seems as If it was a great innings from Youhana, coming at the right time and place; while Inzamam played a briskier then usual side-role.


It's even stevens right now. The pitch has something there for the bowlers, atleast while the ball is new and it is always folly to discount a score over 300 - but on the other had we have a magnificant WI bowling line-up plying against Pakistan's motley crew of Rao's and Rana's. I personally think that Pakistan were about 20 runs short, and I blame the openers for that who defended too much and made little effort to hit out either Bradshaw or Collins out of the attack.

Anyone who watched the latter part of the innings: Which of the two [inzy and youhana] seemed in better nick?

 

[Duncan]

Motley Crue's of Rao's and Rana's... LOL, that's a good one. If Pakistan didn't have a depleted bowling line up, you could call this one in the bag for Pakistan. Anyway, it's really late here, I'm going to sleep.

 

[nightprowler10]

Whoohoo!! Gayle out on third ball!!

WI 1/1 after 1.0 over.

 

[Beleg]

Gayle gone!

 

[Arrow]

I swear gayle sucks. Everytime i see him he gets out for a real shitty score. Looks like it will all be upto lara.

 

[Beleg]

Don't dismiss Chanderpaul, Hinds and Sarawan offhand. Anyone of them [bar maybe Hinds] is more then capable of leading their team of victory, even if the target is as steep as it is.

 

[Tim]

uhh..Bradshaw didn't really have that bad a last over. His first wide was extremely harsh & he was a bit unlucky with the direct hit etc.
I think in the end it was only 8 runs out of a possible 36 (presuming there were 6 legit balls straight up)

 

[Jono]

I swear gayle sucks. Everytime i see him he gets out for a real shitty score. Looks like it will all be upto lara.

Granted he's had a bad series, but he far from 'sucks'. Maybe you haven't seen enough of him?

Can anyone tell me how Gayle was out? Too lazy to check Cricinfo and I had the channel on the news (I thought the cricket would be back by 6pm, not before that).
