2nd ODI: Pakistan v West Indies At St Lucia

Shehzad And Misbah takes solid defense to lead 2-0:


Pakistan win the toss and elected to bat first....


West Indies start inning with aggressive mode but Smith once again LBW by
Hafeez. D Bravo and Simmons playing good cricket but then Ajmal comes to
attack on West Indies.Ajmal had bowled without deserved reward in the first
one-dayer. He had teased and beaten Darren Bravo in that game. There was
none of that today. Ajmal pitched his first ball just outside leg and spun it across
the left-hander. Darren Bravo attempted to cut, and edged to first slip He takes
1st wicket on his 1st ball of his spell he removes D Bravo who was playing
comfortable on Cris But Ajmal removes him.After Bravo Dismissal nobody
stay on Cris and one by one caught by Pakistan spinner's Ajmal , Afrid, And
also Hafeez bowling well in the sniping depart and West Indies All out
on 220 Runs in the 50 Overs...
 
When Pakistan start there inning both openers giving another 50 Plus partnership but
they playing so slow. Shehzad and Mohammad Hafeez took their time, seeing of the
Kemar Roach threat and settling in at leisure against the rest of the West Indian attack.
The outcome was an uneventful passage of play that lacked shots and appeals but had
an abundance of defence. Roach hustled with the new ball, beating the bat several times
and providing no space for stroke play. West Indies could have done with a similar
bowler at the other end, but Jerome Taylor was in India, making his IPL 2011 debut
for Pune Warriors. Instead they had Darren Sammy, who was flicked and cut for
consecutive boundaries in his first over by Shehzad. Sammy wasn't loose, but he just
didn't have the weapons to threaten batsmen with. Pakistan had scored only 35 after
the mandatory Powerplay and Hafeez soon raised the pace, jumping out in the 13th
over to cart Sammy over long-on and pulling the next ball for four. The next boundary
came only in the 31st
