Story Windies tour of England, 2007

[The Blazer]

Another wicket for Pak but a good 50 by Lara nonetheless. Kaneria needs to keep the pressure on now and then let the pacemen clean up the tail.

Geoffrey Boycott: Well what a flurry of an innings that was! 11 balls, 17 runs,2 fours and 1 six. Hit 2 fours and a six in 2 legitemate balls but next ball goes for it again and gets caught at fine leg.

Well what do you think of that then Slats?

Michael Slater: Great fun and enjoyment for the crowd there and he has brought his side down to needing just 50 runs. He also has made their runrate rise to 4.60. Lets see what happens next in this magical opening match of the World Cup 2007 in the West indies!

Game in Windies' favour right now, but another wicket and that'll all change! And why was Imran Farhat bowling at such a crucial point in the innings- poor man management by Pak!

 

[DJ Ager]

Good game, exciting!
