**Official** Pakistan v West Indies in Abu Dhabi

[Stapel]

Given the blistering start, the innings has become a tad bit disappointing. 274/4 with 4 overs left..

 

[Precambrian]

Rauf's having a nightmare of a match.

 

[TT Boy]

Top comeback from the Pakistani bowlers. West Indies really did **** up though, should have at least got 325+.

I like the look of Nash, played one of the best cricket shots I have ever seen of Gul...

Also Tanvir's dismissal of Powell was Was pure village and to think Powell use to be a batsman.

 

[Jono]

Tanvir is so gun. Great figures on a road.

 

[TT Boy]

Good start by the West Indian bowlers. Taylor getting a decent bit of away swing from the right hander whilst Powell is generating good heat and decent carry. Pakistani batsman don't look too hot on the back foot...

Why are there no matches being held at Sharjah?

 

[G.I.Joe]

India refused to play at Sharjah after to the match fixing saga. I guess the rest of the teams followed suit.

 

[TT Boy]

****, a dire mix-up costs my man Baker his first international wicket. The guys bowled well so far, Leicestershire will be gutted.

 

[TT Boy]

Butt is taking the proverbial piss here. He looks woefully out of touch and at sea against some very fiery West Indian bowling (Jerome Taylor has been clocked at over 150kph tonight).

 

[TT Boy]

He deserved that.

Top stuff, what sort of pace have Powell and Baker been bowling?

Powell low 140s, Baker high 130s.

West Indies need a wicket here, Pakistan still have a PowerPlay up their sleeve and with nine wickets still in the hutch, 7 runs an over isn’t that daunting. The spinners haven’t offered great control and the fielding has been woeful, although, Nash looks like a good athlete.

 

[Manee]

Abdur Rauf really was a dire selection in hindsight. He has a shocking OD record and his only strength has been a good strike rate in FC games despite a high economy rate...what were they thinking.

How fast were pakistani bowlers?

what do u think about new kid's batting, any observations, Plus point, minus point etc etc?

 

[silentstriker]

17 off the last over. You really should not give up that many runs in one over. Crazy finish. Two sixes, overthrow? Come on.

 

[nightprowler10]

Good exciting finish here. Shoaib Malik should easily be the MOTM.

 

[Protean]

Awwwh gees. Feel so bad for Taylor right now.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Joins Allan Lamb in the hall of fame.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Haha, the West Indies really lost the plot there. Well done to Malik and Kamran.
