Besides what I mentioned above,the game is your's if you win the toss and opt to bat first. W.I does not have a chance against your spinners.Also the keyman Afridi. I believe anything above 230 means W.I can fly back to T&T .
W.I have hard hitters.But they have excelled just against pacers and not against class spinners.

What about Gayle? and don't underestimate Bravo. Just like lot of teams underestimated this Pakistan and English team, I think WI is also getting to that point but yes they are probably two good players shorter than Pak

where is everyone watching the cricket matches? our friends had jadoo t.v but apparently the channel (sports) was taken down so now we don't have a channel that shows live cricket matches. Anyone know other channels on t.v showing live matches?

^Yes thats what I said abt Gayle in my previous post.But again here the interesting thing is that Gayle is the only man who can turn around and he is already under heavy pressure to perform.

Pressure holds the key...

Whereas Pakistan................ nothing at all except for the fact that it's a knock-out match...

Hope Afridi wins the toss tomorrow and bats 1st …With our strong bowling line we can defend it

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

depending on how the first half goes, I’ll decide if I should take half day off from work to watch 2nd inning or not. What should my email to director state “I might become ill tomorrow around 8am - I’ll confirm by 7:30 if I am getting ill or not”

Reports in media indicate that due to excess of Left Handers in windies line up, Saeed Ajmal will be played ahead of Rehman. I hope that proves to be true.

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

Yeah i heard on Geo too i wish he plays

HomiD · March 22, 2011, 4:03pm

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

WI are playing a batsmen less too. No Chanderpaul. They are playing with 5 bowlers. What's Sammy's role apart from Captain? I dont see him in the team based on performance or skills.

waleedhbk · March 22, 2011, 4:04pm

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

I heard Chanderpaul is playing

HomiD · March 22, 2011, 4:04pm

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

I heard Imran Khan interview and he said that Pakistan should play 3 specialist spinners against WI. Ajaml, Abdur Rahman and Afridi. Its a Dhaka pitch.

HomiD · March 22, 2011, 4:05pm

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

Maybe playing Chanderpaul instead of Sarwan. But they are not adding an additional Batsmen. They'll play two spinners. Bishoo & Benn.

waleedhbk · March 22, 2011, 4:07pm

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

if they are playing two spinners thats good for us coz out batsman play spin really well esp YK and Misbah

Re: 1st Quarter-Final: Pakistan v West Indies at Mirpur, Wed March 23

Will be interesting to see how Pak batsmen cope with Roach & Rampaul

I’m too anxious to follow the match on cricinfo or on live stream on Net … while being in Office 2 hours before Play starts i’ll be searching for some absorbing & time consuming workload during matchtime as i can’t handle the nervousness …

i think i’ll drop in on GS/KK from time to time to see u PPLs mood to find out if happiness or sadness prevails

For sure the Day will be started with a Tahajud Prayer insha’Allah

Baqi jo hoga dekhi jaegi (on GS/KK )
