41st Match - United Arab Emirates v West Indies (15th March)

[Sarun]

How do you rate Tauqir's bowling (compared to fellow associate spinners)? Quite a fine recall!

 

[Burgey]

when you have the technique he has (all balance and timing, concrete boots) it's inevitable

Wasn't for Damien Martyn tbf

 

[Sarun]

Sammy to be promoted?

 

[morgieb]

When is the cyclone expected to hit?

 

[Sarun]

So, Russell is promoted instead!

 

[Pratters]

Windies batsmen haven't looked good at all. If UAE had a few more runs, this could have got very interesting.

More likely,
If WI bowled better (or got better/in-form support bowlers) after their initial havoc, WI would have wrapped this up by now!

 

[_Ed_]

Hmm, four down. Still a stretch to call it interesting, but a couple more...

 

[ankitj]

InIn how many overs do WI have to get the total to be unaffected by result of the other game?

 

[Pratters]

20.

Yeah two more wickets within next 10-15 runs will send the cat among the pigeons.

 

[Sarun]

Switching over to Ire-Pak game.

 

[Pratters]

Have watched most of the game. UAE come back was exceptional. Loved the partnership.

20.

Thought it was 36.2 as stated by someone else. 20 Overs is probably for DL minimum.

Yeah, it must be more than 20. Yesterday cricinfo article said that WI have to win with about 71 balls to spare but that depends on exact Target they chase.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, it's 20 overs to constitute a game using DL method and the Windies need to knock the runs off before 36.2 overs to go ahead of Pakistan.

C'mon fellas, give yourselves an uppercut.

Given the position they are in, as long as it is a game (20 overs), Windies will get it before 36 overs. So really 20 overs was the key moment.

 

[Zinzan]

Nah there was genuine confusion above

 

[Sarun]

WTF is WI batting doing?

 

[Zinzan]

WTF is WI batting doing?

They lose another wicket?
