2nd Match: Pakistan v West Indies (Group A)

[Howsie]

43-5 and it's only the 13th over

The West Indies really shouldn't be here with this team.

These WI games will ruin the fun of the tournament.

These WI games will ruin the fun of the tournament.

Don't worry. India will be doing that too.

:doh @ WI team

 

[King Pietersen]

Miller did very well to get his side to something remotely defendable. Pretty terrible batting performance bar Miller, but it was expected really. Very poor line-up.

 

[Master Khan]

This should be a easy run chase for Pakistan.
Good bowling from Gul, Rana and Aamir.
come on Pakistan

 

[King Pietersen]

Cracking start for the Windies, but a terrible shot from Nazir. Getting abit of abuse from Bobby Willis :laugh

 

[Dare]

worse then I expected. I thought WI could get close to 200 at least. The bowlers really don't have anything to bowl for now.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

what a joy to see someone like Aamer emerge though.

you just feel that this is the type of guy pakistan know how to nurture and produce too, so I'm not nearly as worried about him as I was Ishant (who is now beginning to live-up to the worry sadly)

What Bob is commentating. I missed him in Ashes.

Pakistan should have finished it when West Indies were 47-7. The last 3 wickets cost them 86 runs and that's too much.

This match was an opportunity for the Pakistani openers to set the one. Too bad they couldn't do it.

The big problem now is that the current batsmen Yousuf and Misbah-ul-Haq are taking things easily.

And here you go: Yousuf is out.

Tonge got all four wickets so far.

 

[Brook]

Tonge is bowling like a demon, he's never taken an ODI wicket before I think

 

[ZexyZahid]

From his two earlier ODI's he didn't take a wicket.

Are Pakistani batsmen that bad or is Tonge that good?

 

[Brook]

I don't think there's much chance of any of the other WI quicks taking a wicket, but if Tonge can take another one they could have a real chance.

 

[SciD]

The two wickets so far have been chalk and cheese. RSA would have loved to play Lankans on this pitch.
