England U19s V Pakistan U19| Tri-Nation tournament| 16th August, 2013

[Bullet Drive]

It is imperative that these two carry on till the 40th over.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Both Zia and Aftab playing today. Really excited about this.

 

[HASHAM2]

Kamran.saig.frahan and zafar yet to bar

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two should aim for small targets in 15 over blocks.

at 20 overs - 50 runs

25 overs - 70

30 overs - 100

35 overs = 130

40 overs - 170

last 10 we can go for around 70 runs -

 

[Bullet Drive]

How is Saifullah as a batsman?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Drop.

 

[hur rizvi]

VAriable bounce again

 

[Sledger]

Ball flew off a good length. Possibly could have been caught.

 

[carbon11]

enku ul haq looking pretty clueless at times

 

[HamzaSaeen]

is it just me or Hassan Raza has an angled backlift?
that is a trait of tailenders

 

[Sledger]

Imam trying to attack. Got away with a top edge.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Imam looking to free his arms. Single.

 

[hur rizvi]

Wild hit by imam lucky that it didnt carried to a fielder

 

[PakistanKnight]

Good batting. We won't feel Misbah's absence once he retires. Many candidates.

 

[Sledger]

High risk lofted shot. Two.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stay calm Imam

Lovely chip stroke from hasan

 

[hur rizvi]

Nicely chipped over cover 2 runs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hasan Raza lad is very very impressive. Love the maturity from such a young man

 

[Bullet Drive]

Was that a Doosra?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Raza hitting consistently to the fielders

 

[PakistanKnight]

This is a "Yahoodi lobby's" plan against Pakistan. They have got to win this one so they bring on the cameras.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Pitch is a graveyard for ballaybaaz... cant wait to see Zia and Aftab bowling on this

 

[Gigii]

This pitch that was used yesterday, which is being used for today's match. is a mismatch of a couple of pitches and really isn't conducive to batting. It wouldn't surprise me if 150 ended up being a match winning total.

In the 2nd innings, 70% of bowling was done by spinners and Derbyshire only needed 28 overs to get Durham out.

I'd expect this pitch to turn square if it isn't already.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Carrom ball not doosra

 

[hur rizvi]

Carrom ball by England spinner

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Unevenness of bounce has made the batmen extra cautious

 

[aliv10]

People who are saying it's the pitch, we will see when England bat. Just because one team is struggling like a bunch of rats doesn't mean it's the pitch. So for now they are batting like rats until the second innings.

 

[hur rizvi]

50 up for Pakistan

 

[Bullet Drive]

51-3

 

[Sledger]

51/3 in 21.

 

[hur rizvi]

Delicate cut shot for single by Imam

 

[PakistanKnight]

@HamzSaeen:-They showed the pitch before the match-one side of the pitch is a total crap,the ball either bounces too high or doesn't and creates a dust explosion as well and the curator made a hole in the middle of pitch and filled it with mud!

 

[Bullet Drive]

You didn't watch yesterdays game did you.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Raza very very elegant batsman

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both these two are brilliant rotators of strike.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

lol...Raza didnt pick the last ball

 

[Bullet Drive]

Carver on to bowl now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Left arm bowler on now. This will be easier as both lefties at the wicket.

 

[HASHAM2]

200 target which we should look for

 

[PakistanKnight]

I say-Play cross batted shots against the spinner when it isn't flighted. If you play with straight bat you are gonna look like a club player. The ball either turns too much or doesn't and bounces too much so you can't really look to score in the V. You assert a little bit of authority and these guys would be pushed back to allow singles.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely loop from Carver first ball

 

[HASHAM2]

Razz is from maniwal misbah city

 

[Sledger]

Imam misses out on two overpitched balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

ENG captain allowing easy single

 

[PakistanKnight]

This itch is gonna get worse and worse only. Anyone who YB40 game yesterday would know that. You struggle for timing and you aren't aided by unpredictable bounce.

 

[Bullet Drive]

55-3 after 23 overs

 

[HASHAM2]

Raza.imam.saud.sami.talat.zafar.zia.aftab to many left handers in team

 

[Sledger]

Ata ur Rehman? LOL.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Agree completely with Pakistan Knight

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fisher is back on now.

 

[Sledger]

This itch is gonna get worse and worse only. Anyone who YB40 game yesterday would know that. You struggle for timing and you aren't aided by unpredictable bounce.

Yep. Good toss to win. 170-180 will be a tricky chase.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single down to third man should be an option here

 

[PakistanKnight]

I would be in Pakistan's favor if they get 150-200. We have a battery of fast bowlers on this level as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I would have HATED to see PAK to chase on this pitch so very good toss

 

[PakistanKnight]

I am loving this and I am really happy for Pakistan. At least our U-19 guys don't have brain farts after playing this many balls.

 

[aliv10]

I have contemplated suicide on many occasions watching the senior team bat, and watching these rats bat makes me want to kill myself.

 

[PakistanKnight]

@BulletDrive:-Iwas very happy when we won the toss. I was a bit nervous after seeing that YB40 match. Chasing isn't our cup of tea and it would have been tricky.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Raza.imam.saud.sami.talat.zafar.zia.aftab to many left handers in team

Zia is a right handed Batsman I think

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stay calm Raza

 

[carbon11]

raza freeing himself

 

[PakistanKnight]

@Aliv:-Why wasting your time here then? You are always enabled to click that red-cross on top right.

 

[HASHAM2]

Imam should play aggressive now

 

[Bullet Drive]

I have contemplated suicide on many occasions watching the senior team bat, and watching these rats bat makes me want to kill myself.

Turn it off then mate. Don't think you've ever posted anything positive

 

[Bullet Drive]

@Aliv:-Why wasting your time here then? You are always enabled to click that red-cross on top right.

Agree again

 

[aliv10]

@Aliv:-Why wasting your time here then? You are always enabled to click that red-cross on top right.

It's either clicking that red-cross on the top right or the red-cross on my life.

 

[PakistanKnight]

One guy has to think about playing 50 overs which I think Imam should do and the other should just try and get the run rate to 3 with calculated risks.

 

[Gigii]

I have contemplated suicide on many occasions watching the senior team bat, and watching these rats bat makes me want to kill myself.

Whoa, have you said this before or have I just had a HUGE deja vu moment?

 

[Bullet Drive]

After 30 overs we should be on 75. That should be the aim. Then 40 - 150. Last 10 go BIG

 

[Sledger]

58/3. These two have done well. Can start to accelerate a bit now.

 

[aliv10]

Turn it off then mate. Don't think you've ever posted anything positive

I have posted positive things about Umar Amin, Haris Sohail, Umar Akmal and Babar Azam (and numerous other bowlers) for your information.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Raza is definitely in now. Timing the ball very very well.

What do u want the batsman to do?

This is a nightmare pitch

 

[PakistanKnight]

@Aliv:-Agar apko marne ka shouq itna hi hai to hum kia kar sakte hain?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

I have contemplated suicide on many occasions watching the senior team bat, and watching these rats bat makes me want to kill myself.

mar ja

 

[Sledger]

It's either clicking that red-cross on the top right or the red-cross on my life.

Lol grow a pair.

 

[aliv10]

Whoa, have you said this before or have I just had a HUGE deja vu moment?

lol nope first time I have said this (but not being serious obviously)

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Why is that whenever I watch Pak game, the scorecard doesn't seem to move...

 

[PakistanKnight]

Whoaaa! Bounce!

 

[hur rizvi]

vicious bounce

 

[Bullet Drive]

So happy these two are taking such quick singles.
