Umar Gul looks far from being fit.

by Brass Monkey Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:24

Oops. This doesn't look good. And WTF is with Hafeez becoming a genuine wicket-taker? I always thought he was a filthy darts player.

by skully Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:33

Dear God, how crap are the Ganjas??!! And only for a p!sspoor effort by us v the Wacksters, we would've been playing this motley crew. Mad

by Basil Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:36

Time for Sarwan to deliver. If he doesn't, the W.I. are as fecked as fecked can be.

I've seen statues bat quicker than Chanderpaul

Clearly the Windies management thought the same, giving him a "rest" for much of the qualifiers.

by Nath Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:42

he's racing now. up to 3.

by Brass Monkey Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:46

Aye, s'almost as bad as giving your wicket away, batting like this, it allows the bowlers to get into a rhythm. Still, I expect from here they wouldn't even mind 50 off 85 balls from him.

by Guest Wed 23 Mar 2011, 09:49

Am I reading the scorecard right? 4 from 31 balls?

Good god.

by Nath Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:25

might not even scrape 100

by Brass Monkey Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:28

Awful. Totally terrible. Bangladesh may as well have gotten through. 100 looks miles off.

by JKLever Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:29

Well, at least he's still there... shocking WI

by OP Tipping Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:33

This is dire but not unexpected.

by JKLever Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:35

Bastards, you're all going to leave it to the poms to create all the excitement....

by skully Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:40

Ganjas lose 4 wkts for 2 runs in 8 balls. Farkin woeful.

Who do the Paksters meet in the SF? The winner of which QF, please?

Aus/India I think.

by spangler Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:44

It is the Aus/Ind one, guarenteed cracker either way...

by Guest Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:45

I can't believe we let the Windies get even close to our target the other day.

by OP Tipping Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:46

Still just about time for Chandappall to get his crab ton.

75 runs in 18 overs?

No chance.

by PlanetPakistan Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:51

Ajmal's doosra is pure magic.

WI need more players like Shiv and Sars rather than Pollard

by Henry Nolonga Wed 23 Mar 2011, 10:57

31.1 Saeed Ajmal to Chanderpaul, no run, regulation miss of a stumping from Kamran. Zipping offie outside off, leads Chanders out and he misses the flick. Kamra had to collect and break the stumps, instead it hit his glove and thudded into his chin.

At least someone is still trying to make a game of it.

by lotr Wed 23 Mar 2011, 11:10

I have forgotten the days the WI have played anything other than this in a QF of a WC. It's always a collapse, and WI get done with in less than 100-120.

Don't know if they are really keen on playing this one or just participating in a 'predecided-drama'. In which case England would outclass them even in that one. Whatever it is that the windies are trying to do, it's still piss poor.

With England, that's the law. Got to be close.

I'm sure they'll buck that trend come Saturday...

by Brass Monkey Wed 23 Mar 2011, 11:36

Shivers isn't looking comparitively bad now, is he?
