Pakistan vs West Indies Fourth ODI at Multan

West Indies beat Pakistan by seven wickets

Dec 13, 2006
Marlon Samuels smashed his first century in a One-Day International in four years today to power the West Indies to an emphatic seven-wicket victory over new-look Pakistan in the fourth one-dayer of the series.
Samuels, a 25-year-old Jamaican, hit a six and 17 fours in his unbeaten 100 as the West Indies raced to 212/3 in 34.5 overs after dismissing Pakistan for 209 in 49.5 overs. The West Indies narrowed Pakistans lead to 2-1 in the five-match series with the final match to be played in Karachi on 16 December.
Pacer Rana Naved gave Pakistan hope of defending the total when he bowled Chris Gayle (9) with a full pitched delivery and then trapped Lendl Simmons leg before wicket off successive deliveries in his second over. However, a 141-run partnership between Samuels and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (60 off 82 balls) bettered the previous best third-wicket stand for the West Indies against Pakistan when Richie Richardson and Viv Richards scored 137 runs at Karachi in 1987.

Pakistan beat windies in Faisalabad ODI

Dec 8, 2006
Inzamam-ul-Haq celebrated his return to international cricket with an unbeaten 42 to help Pakistan beat the West Indies by two wickets in the second one-day cricket international in Faisalabad.
The Pakistan captain has completed a four-match ban after his team refused to take the field in the fourth test against England at The Oval in August... he was cleared of ball tampering but penalised for bringing the game into disrepute. After dismissing West Indies for 151, Pakistan completed victory with 10 balls to spare after pace bowler Corey Collymore had taken three for 19 from his 10 overs. The homeside leads the 5-match series 1-nil. Fast bowler Jerome Taylor also took three wickets in a spirited fightback by the tourists who were without key players, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo. The first match in Rawalpindi was abandoned after torrential rain.

First ODI abandoned due to rain

Dec 5, 2006
Heavy rains abandoned the opening one-day international between Pakistan and the West Indies on Tuesday.
Umpires Daryl Harper of Australia and Aleem Dar from Pakistan called off the game at 0900 local time at the Pindi Cricket Stadium following two days of persistent rain. "After inspecting the ground, the umpires called off the match," a Pakistan Cricket Board official Naushad Ali said.

Pakistan won the three-Test series 2-0.

Weather threatens first ODI in Rawalpindi

Dec 5, 2006
Torrential rain is threatening the first game of the five-match one-day series between Pakistan and the West Indies scheduled for Tuesday.
Heavy rain continued to lash the city on Sunday and Monday, leaving the Rawalpindi ground waterlogged. The organisers have valiantly been working to keep the pitch fit for play in the day-night fixture. Pakistan, who clinched the preceding three-match Test series 2-0, expect a tough fight from the tourists, who have produced better results in the shorter version of the game. Younis Khan will lead Pakistan in Inzamam's absence.

Pakistan drops Afridi

Dec 1, 2006
Pakistani selectors have dropped flamboyant all rounder Shahid Afridi for the first one-day international against West Indies on Dec. 5.
Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria was installed in Afridi's place in the 14-man squad on Friday, while captain Inzamam-ul-Haq also misses out as he completes his four-match ban. Inzamam was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for bringing the game into disrepute during the Oval test controversy in August and sat out three matches at the Champions Trophy. Batsman Younis Khan will lead the side in Inzamam's absence.
The inclusion of Kaneria, who has played only 16 one-dayers, was hardly surprising following Afridi's poor form this year, scoring 114 runs and taking 14 wickets in 17 matches. A veteran of 233 one-dayers, Afridi would be considered for the remaining four games of the series, a Pakistan Cricket Board official told Reuters. The selectors have also recalled pacemen Rana Naved and Mohammad Sami after they struggled in the one-day series in England. Pakistan ODI team: Younis Khan (Captain), Mohammad Yousuf, Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed, Abdul Razzaq, Shoaib Malik, Rana Naved, Kamran Akmal, Umar Gul, Rao Iftikhar, Mohammad Sami, Abdul Rehman, Danish Kaneria.

Ramnaresh Sarwan (35) then retired from the game after a Umar Gul yorker hit his foot. Shivnarine Chanderpaul struck his 40th Test half-century, however, he was the first of two wickets in two balls for Danish Kaneria in the second over after tea break.
Brian Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan seemed to be doing well in an 80-run stand and the captain was in top form, making some wonderful drives in a 92-ball knock which featured nine fours, however, Lara perished off the first ball after a five-minute delay due to a problem with the sightscreen, failing to check his drive and discovering Shoaib Malik in the covers. Seventeen balls later on Umar Gul floored Ramnaresh Sarwan with a vicious delivery and the batsman was helped off the pitch.
