Will Windies batting crush Pak. or will Pak bowling crush Windies. I'd say the former, but surprisingly to me, some commentators have Pak as favourites.
I've lost too much money on Pak over the years. Too many games they should have won and didn't. If WI bat first and get a halfway decent score then they should be good for the win.
Why 200 and win? All the wickets have been lame batting, and they should be another down by now. Nothing really to suggest there's much in the pitch, is there?

I'd like to see if it swings late afternoon / early evening and will the pitch take spin? Then the game might get interesting if Pak post 220+ but I think this is an Albatross.

This pair are doing exactly what is needed at this stage. If they went with the brainless attitude of the other batsmen then they would be all out for 85.

Agreed - this Pakistan attack is very good. Of course Gayle/Samuels might make 200 look like a walk in the park, but they could easily get bogged down in a modest chase if they lose a couple of wickets.

Hmm not sure I agree there, but let's face it, they're linked. 3 runs/over is pitiful in any limited overs format. 3 runs an over for the first 40 when they could be scoring say 5 will leave them 80 runs short of what they could have had!!

Only time would tell..if these two stay till 35 Pakistan would be more than 250 here..but that is if these two stay till then..Roach done with 7 overs..so lots of pie overs to come..

Pak could easily get 250 here still if they keep wickets in hand. T20 has changed the way players think about the game.
This partnership was just what they needed.

Can anyone see if Misbah is running down the pitch? I am sure he is at times and am thinking that 240 might be a good score if that is the case. Not sure Pak will get that far though

Watching the tennis atm, just seen that match is delayed by rain. Anyone with pictures able to tell me if we're likely to lose overs? Or just a passing shower?

I would hold Ajmal back here. Get Riaz and Irfan on Pollard. They need a bit of luck to remove Smauels then Ajmal will be extremely dangerous. Oh and rough up the pitch a bit!

is this a tricky wicket or is the usual rules apply in that "opposition scores a low total which means we must play really really really defensively and put ourselves under pressure by losing wickets and don't bother about moving the scoreboard"?

windies will win, but they are sh1t when they play in this way. The low total meant that they came out negative and it has cost them. Windies are a serious threat when playing free-flowing, attacking cricket.

Ring couldn't take having 3 previous chances of clearing up my mess. Only bet Pakistan because it was such a cracking wicket. Was sure they would post but unlike US Postal and Lance Armstrong they weren't on steroids! batting anyway.
I think they have sent out a marker that they have a quality bowling attack.
