Subject:      Pakistan vs West Indies (Brisbane, Australia, Jan 9)

   Pakistan's slump from last year's World Cup euphoria plunged to a
new nadir in a humiliating nine-wicket loss to the West Indies in a
World Series Cup cricket one-day match on Saturday.  Javed Miandad's
world champions were humbled for their lowest one-day total of 71
after winning the toss, allowing the West Indies to coast home by nine
wickets with more than 30 overs and a half day to spare.  It was the
Pakistan's lowest score in limited-over cricket, three runs less than
their 74 made batting first against England in last year's World Cup
preliminary rounds at Adelaide.

   The drubbing almost certainly has dumped Pakistan from the Word
Series finals. They now have only a faint mathematical chance of
overtaking Australia with two games to play next week.  The West
Indies leapfrogged Australia to the top of the triangular series with
their lopsided victory. They finish their preliminary round
commitments against Allan Border's Aussies on Sunday.

   Ian Bishop ripped through Pakistan for his best international
limited overs return of 5-25, earning him the man-of-the-match award.
Apart from wicketkeeper Rashid Latif, topscoring with an unbeaten 22,
and Wasim Akram, with a dashing 19, Pakistan's entire batting line-up
crumbled on the bouncy 'Gabba pitch.  Set 72 for victory at a mere
1.45 runs per over, the West Indies reached the target, with Sydney
Test hero Brian Lara (10) the only man out, off 19.2 overs.  Skipper
Richie Richardson crowned the win with a straight-hit six off
leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed just four balls before lunch to end unbeaten
on 22.  Desmond Haynes finished with 25 not out.
