ALAAAAAAD-D
Eik bhee ho tu bhee nazer aata hai apna Pakistani bhai…best of luck!. 
Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
Even with the horrible form Rana is in recently…I think we must play him in this match. He has a terrific record against WI and maybe this one good game can do wonders for him. I’m sure, all he needs is one good game and he’ll be on track. We really need Rana to bowl like he used too…because someone has to support Gul from the other end, and we certainly cannot expect anything for Sami!

Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
i think key for pakistan is to get rid of WI openers (gayle and chanderpaul) quickly. they are most dangerous, and if the openers go, everything else should fall in place

Rana Saahib has the best Gayle dismissal record in early overs though he is considered good in death overs but I think we should start with him in WI innings.
World Cup opening Ceremony
Expect another World Cup classic
Pakistan and West Indies generally don’t do boring World Cup games, so the expectant throng that congregates at Sabina Park early on Tuesday morning is well justified in expecting something special from the tournament opener. The last time the two sides met in this competition was eight years ago. On the surface, it was a prosaic game at the County Ground in Bristol, with Pakistan fairly comfortable winners by 27 runs. No one that watched it would ever call it mundane though.
It’s a measure of how much Shoaib Akhtar’s presence will be missed tomorrow that an otherwise unremarkable game is best remembered for his first delivery, a searing bouncer that Sherwin Campbell could only top-edge over third man for six. With no Shoaib, and no Mohammad Asif - the best young bowler in the world by some distance - Pakistan’s attack looks paperweight, but it’s exactly in such situations that teams have come to be wary against them.
Rana Naved-ul-Hasan may yet recapture the form that made him such a dangerous one-day performer for a couple of seasons, while both the wretchedly inconsistent Mohammad Sami and the fragile Umar Gul have the pace to hustle the very best. Inconsistency and flattering to deceive have become a motif of this West Indies side as well, so it’ll be especially interesting to see which team blinks first when the pressure starts to build.
The pitches have been the subject of much discussion since the teams arrived here, and Andy Roberts for one doesn’t believe that they’ll be anything like as turgid as some expect. The surface at Sabina Park has seldom been that docile anyway, with memories still fresh of the bloodbath in the 1975-76 Test against the Indians, and of a remarkable Test last year when Rahul Dravid’s sterling batting led India home in a three-day Test on a pitch that was jalapeno-spicy.
That leaves both sides with a selection headache or two. For West Indies, it will most likely mean choosing between the allrounder, Dwayne Smith, and the fast bowler, Daren Powell, while Pakistan will have to plump for either the burgeoning all-round skills of Yasir Arafat or the unpredictable legspin option that Danish Kaneria offers. With a certain Brian Charles Lara in the opposition, Kaneria’s place may well be on the dressing-room bench.
Both teams rely heavily on the top order. If Chris Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul can provide some sort of platform for Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan, West Indies are eminently capable of toppling anyone. But when Gayle fails, it appears to have a deflating effect on those that follow. Pakistan would have noted his recent travails against Ajit Agarkar, and he should expect an early delivery or two shaping into his pads.
Pakistan’s opening woes have been voluminously documented. Shahid Afridi’s two-match ban eliminates one interesting option, and after suggestions that Younis Khan would be asked to shore things up against the new ball, it now appears as though the duo of Mohammad Hafeez and Imran Nazir will be given another opportunity. Younis, Mohammad Yousuf and Inzamam-ul-Haq form the bulwark, and will need to be careful against the medium pace of Ian Bradshaw and Corey Collymore. Neither comes from the great West Indies tradition of express fast bowlers, but both are canny customers adept at putting the ball on a sixpence and waiting for the mistake.
Having played out classics at Edgbaston (1975, when Roberts and Deryck Murray guided West Indies home) and Lahore (1987, when Courtney Walsh famously refused to run out Salim Jaffer), supporters on both sides will only hope that the match isn’t a reprise of that quite bizarre game in 1992, when Rameez Raja stodged his way to a century and then saw Desmond Haynes return the compliment with a painstaking 93 as only two wickets fell in the 50 overs. West Indies, though, won’t mind a repeat of the result, a crushing ten-wicket triumph.
West Indies (likely) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Brian Lara (capt), 5 Marlon Samuels, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Dwayne Smith, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Ian Bradshaw, 10 Jerome Taylor, 11 Corey Collymore.
Pakistan (likely) 1 Mohammad Hafeez, 2 Imran Nazir, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, 9 Yasir Arafat, 10 Mohammad Sami, 11 Umar Gul.
Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
Lets see who bowls the first ball of this World Cup.
I hope its not Sami.
Re: World Cup opening Ceremony
When you’re debating the chances of various teams in this World Cup - and there’s never any shortage of that before the tournament begins - it’s the contests within the contests, the personality clashes, that give you an indication into the kind of trends to expect. Sometimes the fiercest contests aren’t between two sets of players who are both at the peak of their game. In this clash between West Indies - resurgent, confident, keen to put up a strong show in the big tournament they are hosting for the first time, and Pakistan - stricken by injuries, forced into selecting certain players, on the downswing rather than up, there are many match-ups that could playa vital role in deciding which way the pendulum of fortune swings.
Mohammad Sami v Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle is unarguably the second most important batsman in the West Indian team. When he gets off to good starts - both batting first and chasing - it gives the others a much better opportunity to express themselves. Unfortunately, in recent times, he has been troubled by the ball that comes into his pads, especially early on in his innings. If you can get him early, you have a good chance of keeping West Indies down to a manageable score. That role would have been assigned to Mohammad Asif, but in his absence it falls to Mohammad Sami. The numbers aren’t particularly exciting - 111 wickets from 79 matches at almost 30. But Sami can produce just the kind of delivery that troubles Gayle. Whether he does or not is another matter.
Danish Kaneria v Brian Lara
By some distance the best player of spin in recent times, Brian Lara has torn spinners to shreds so badly at times it has been impossible for the opposition captain to bowl them. To succeed in this World Cup, in these conditions, many experts believe that the spinner’s role could be crucial. By no means a certainty in the one-day format, Danish Kaneria could just make a name for himself on pitches that are responsive, as an attacking spinner.
Inzamam-ul-Haq v Marlon Samuels
Thanks to the extended overs of field restrictions, and their floating nature, captains of most teams have targeted the middle overs of an ODI as the place where they can most improve. West Indies have used both Gayle and Marlon Samuels as choking options in this period, and further. Inzamam-ul-Haq, who is the backbone of this Pakistani batting line-up, will have to take control of the game for his side. And this will be determined by how well he can maneuver the ball for ones and twos against the likes of Samuels.
Azhar Mahmood v Shivnarine Chanderpaul
While Gayle is blasting away at his end, it is left to Shivnarine Chanderpaul to hang in there for the long haul and bat right through the innings. In conditions where the ball will seam about a bit, bowlers like Azhar Mahmood, who rely on variations of pace and cutters of all sorts, could be even more difficult to handle than the ones that are pacy and hit the deck hard. Chanderpaul, though, can cover for all sorts of bowling. How he holds his, and consequently the West Indian innings together, could prove crucial.
Denesh Ramdin v Kamran Akmal
Denesh Ramdin has a fair bit to prove. He’s been in and out of the side, and not afraid to voice his disappointment at being left out when this has happened. He’s smart behind the stumps and cheeky in front of them. Kamran Akmal has won not just one-day matches but Test matches off his bat in the past. But, in the last year or so, his keeping has fallen away to such an extent that he is missing even straightforward chances, and that has in turn dented his confidence as a batsman. With Abdul Razzaq missing, Akmal will have to shoulder extra responsibility.
Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
^ btw , Is there such a thing as a WEST INDIES FLAG....I want to waive it now.
Here's my "wishful" prediction for tomorrow.
Pak bats first : Pak 167 all out (I like to be precise) WI win by 5 wickets.
WI bats first : WI 223 all out. PAK 192 all out.
Also note that as per Andy Roberts (World Cup Pitch Consultant), pitches in this World Cup are likely to be of the kind in India-WI Warm up match where WI got bowled out for 85.
may Allah not make ur wish come true and let u suffer in envy of pakistan's victories and double your unrest by letting india lose....
sab mil ke bolo AAAAMEEEEEEEEEEN
Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
Playing Rana may prove to be Pakistan's biggest mistake. Sami's recent bowling performance against SA warrants selection based on merit whereas Rana's poor form sud have made him an automatic deletion, then again he is part of the close Kitchen (literally speaking) cabinet.
Re: Pakistan vs West Indies - March 13 Sabina Park, Jamaica
Lara is the key besides Gayle and Chanderpaul.
I expect a good entertainment from him. Hope he plays his best today.
