***Official** West Indies in Pakistan

Good to see Rana doing well after his disappointing performances in England and at the Champions Trophy.

I got a question, did rana open teh bowling? did he come as first change

cuz i can guarantee u, if he was first change bowler in THIS series, he would have struggled

the guys an amazing opening bowler, he is pretty useless as first change

im sure asif and akhtar started ahead of rana againts england

if shoaib and asif come back, id love to see rana open the bowling with asif

shaoib as first change with sami if he plays, shoaib and sami would be lethal in the middle overs

He opened from the other end.

Also I see Yasir Hameed was in the runs again, scored a fifty in his last ODI and was subsequently dropped for his troubles, hopefully Pakistan persist with him, one of their more dogged and organised cricketers.

He's averaging almost 40 now after 49 matches. The man really should get more chances. Funnily enough, most of his good knocks have come whenever the rest of the Pakistani batsmen failed.

Nice 50 for Samuels. Easy win for WI from here.

 

[pasag]

Is it just me or is there really little interest over this ODI series on CW? Could be the time zones.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Could be the fact it's boring as hell.

Samuels looks good at times, always hope he does well. Cooler than Gayle IMO.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Samuels remembers how to bat. Good stuff.

 

[Dravid]

Rana dropped a catch right to him. No matter how hard it was hit, it was right to him. You shouldn't drop those.

 

[mohammad16]

actually it hasnt been boring at all, we had a nail bitter like last time

the pitches have been great, something for the bowlers and batsmen alike, stadiiums for odis have been jammed pack, the ball has swung

its been a good series, though i think it has lacked intensity and competitiveness at times

yea u shouldnt, but the ball kinda died on him at the last moment, hes a really good catcher

 

[pasag]

Brilliant hundred there for Samuels.

 

[Dravid]

Great 100 with some beautiful shots, including that six.

 

[Dravid]

And as I typed the post above, a beautiful six comes from Lara. Great Cricket from the Indies here.

 

[oz_fan]

WI win by 7 wickets. Great batting from Chanderpaul and Samuels and a great win for the WI.

Yeah classiest six there. Good win from the Windies (Ha).

 

[nightprowler10]

Ridiculous all round cricket from Pakistan, having a depleted attack is never a good excuse for poor cricket. Kudos to WI for taking full advantage of it.

I remember how the crowd went into shock when Afridi got out. I couldn't stop laughing cause everyone was expecting sixes from him

for the first time in his life, he is under series pressure, u could see it in his body language, he used to be dropped before but his body language never changed even when he came back

i think he might jus change his game dramatically if he plays in karachi which wouldnt be the best thing

Would help if it was on tv.

 

[Dravid]

I believe it's just the time zone. I would watch watch any Cricket match really unless it was on during the night(Indian matches are an exception)
