Should be good, but a bit sad Yousuf not playing and asif out too so i guess the teams are relatively even maybe the Windies are up a bit even. Should hopefully be a good contest.

Good to see Pakistan finally getting to play some cricket, but pity they still aren't playing any test matches.

 

[Precambrian]

Just three matches, all ODIs, that too without their best player. So sad. But something is better than nothing,

Also sad to see the no. of people actually looking forward to this series.

 

[roseboy64]

Not sure I'll get to see this one.

I think this series is a lot more important in the context of Pakistani cricket than West Indian cricket, merely because they're actually playing for once, so Pakistan I guess. Hoping Nash. Sarwan and Miller do well though.

I am going with the West Indies too, i believe that under Gayle' captaincy the Windies have a realistic chance of reviving their fate, i am not saying they would turn into the number one side or anything, but i expect them to become a lot more competitive under his leadership.

Why is Ramdin not there in the WI squad and wasn't Marshall banned for drugs usage...??

Marshall was let off by WICB because he was tested by Standford officials which doesnt come under ICC or WICB

John Dyson not happy with the WICB preparation for the series. The Stanford Superstars got six weeks to prepare; the West Indies two days.

West Indies. Fingers crossed Jerome Taylor cleans up and Nikita Miller continues where he left off against the Australians. But I hope Afridi and Arafat have a good series.

Ramdin hasn't scored a run in years.

 

[roseboy64]

Is in the test squad against New Zealand though.

Haha, shows the priorities I guess.

 

[Precambrian]

Pakistan is the team I back to win this series. Sharjah is literally Home away from home for them.

 

[biased indian]

first game has not even started and shoaib is out injured

 

[Jono]

Lol Shoaib

 

[haroon510]

am i the only one who thinks that pakistan much rather concentrate in their domastic games rather than playing such useless one day series? i mean comon.. three one days with no test matchess.. waste of time..

 

[Precambrian]

Sums up the attitude really. Bowling (Trying to) at 150 kmph with sunglasses on.

Saw this over on another forum.

Nice gut...
