[ChachaCricket]

Masood is also a WK. Bad news for Sarfarazians.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Woooh What a Shot !!!!!

 

[shah_1]

Serious talent

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

That Virat Kohli bat swirl !!!! Haha very have a superstar in the making guys

 

[shah_1]

That Virat Kohli bat swirl !!!! Haha very have a superstar in the making guys

Ya I have notice this as well

 

[JaDed]

Masood is smacking the Caribbeans.

 

[shah_1]

His batting reminds me of Kohli

 

[ChachaCricket]

Solid shot boy! MashaAllah.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This guy should play in the international team, I mean he wouldn't do any worse than Shehzad, Hafeez or Azhar right ???

 

[m.shah]

This guy is impressive

 

[Square Drive]

What an amazing fightback mA!

Match-winning stuff, thia.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Masood is playing really well. Could be Pak19's 1st centurion of the tournament.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sledging ?? WTH ....... This is U-19 cricket

 

[shah_1]

This is where Masood needs to work hard and keep on improving. So many promising U19 players have faded away.

 

[theariezman]

these two batters on the crease currently proving that its all about cool and calmness which pays you off. When you stays on the crease runs comes itself.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Whoever coached Masood should be the batting coach. If he's self taught then fire the current coach and let Masood coach.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I think we need to calm down here a bit. No doubt he seems very skilled but he is still quite raw. He struggled against WI's best bowler. The thing which is most impressive about him is his game awareness, knows what shot to play and how to play around the field.

 

[Suleiman]

This Paul trundler needs to calm down or Masood will hit him out the park back to Jamaica

And why the hell were these idiots hiding Masood at 6? Are they playing cricket here or hide-n-seek?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

so basically our keepers just love to sweep.

 

[khalil1986]

Fantastic comeback, great innings by Masood and we could potentially finish well over 200

 

[m.shah]

What a shot!

 

[IAJ]

Brave batsman and fortunate favouring him.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Masood auditioning for an Asia cup spot here.

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol so much hype for masood already the next umarakmal, all aboard the hype train

 

[IAJ]

Come on Fayyaz

 

[street cricketer]

Pakistan jeetega!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Lol so much hype for masood already the next umarakmal, all aboard the hype train

Yar lekin you would agree.... Hype is Hype

 

[IAJ]

This bowler needs to calm down, angrybird

 

[Cricket lover 27]

In the last match people were calling for Hassan Mohsin to be included in the national team and now Umair Masood. Calm down guys what I like about these players is that one or two of them steps up in a game but honestly none of the players in this team is consistent.

Nobody has consistently scored till now they usually go missing in the next game be it Shadab or Hasan or anybody. So guys they need to mature they are not Tendulkar that they can be inducted at 16.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This is some Dhoniesque innings by Masood here top stuff. Reminds me so much of Ane Do series.

 

[street cricketer]

Chances increasing greatly for a Bangla Pak semifinal and a potential India Pakistan final.

wow wow wow

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

masood playing a blinder here, need a big last 5 overs here

 

[pasha404]

need at least 230 as the wicket is eased out

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

The best part I like about Masood's innings is his.....



KOHLI BAT SWIRL.. What a Bawsss !!!!!!

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

Masood definitely showing he has the potential to be a star, he's a long way of from the finish product. All depends on how he is nurtured

 

[Adijazz1706]

Salman needs to smash a few now.

 

[rhony]

What an innings by this kid Masood. It's just the poise that he displayed.. His skills need some improvement but he is mentally strong for a 18 yr old kid. Future Misbah???

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

wonderful 100, shown great temperament

 

[Belawal2014]

What an innings by this kid Masood. It's just the poise that he displayed.. His skills need some improvement but he is mentally strong for a 18 yr old kid. Future Misbah???

Not if he gets this century. :ahmed

 

[ChachaCricket]

Well played boy mashaAllah.

 

[street cricketer]

Hundred for Pakistan

What an innings!

 

[Adijazz1706]

What an innings by this kid Masood. It's just the poise that he displayed.. His skills need some improvement but he is mentally strong for a 18 yr old kid. Future Misbah???

100 for Masood! So no, he isn't the new .

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

OK time to destroy in the last 3 overs

 

[rhony]

Need 30 runs in the next 3 overs are Pakistan will win this thing.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Fayyaz with a

 

[rhony]

100 for Masood! So no, he isn't the new .

LOL!! It's the type of innings Misbah played day in and day out without the hundred. That's what I should have said.

 

[street cricketer]

Pakistan is winning this world cup.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Pakistan is winning this world cup.

Bas kar do ab, this has been the weakest U-19 team we've put to paper in the recent past. They have achieved quite a bit by making it this far to be honest.

 

[Ankit007]

Pakistan is winning this world cup.

Pak will win today and will thrash Bangla boys. And then we will beat Pakistan boys and win the cup. Destiny written.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Well played Fayyaz. Back to back quality innings under pressure.

 

[Adijazz1706]

LOL!! It's the type of innings Misbah played day in and day out without the hundred. That's what I should have said.

He's taking them all the way, not half-way like Misbah. Another by Masood.

 

[street cricketer]

You're just being humble and downplaying your team.

This is cornered tigers stuff

 

[JaDed]

WD Masood 100 in semifinals is brilliant under pressure as well.

 

[Belawal2014]

Bas kar do ab, this has been the weakest U-19 team we've put to paper in the recent past. They have achieved quite a bit by making it this far to be honest.

Ditto. I'm just happy we've made it this far and this innings from Masood is well worth the late night.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Pakistan is winning this world cup.

Insha Allah

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

quality batting from the young lad

 

[hur rizvi]

Good fightback from youngsters

Kudos from showing some spine

Not as talented as the lots before them but they have some fighting spirit for sure

 

[Adijazz1706]

Excellent innings this

 

[pasha404]

True that I was even Tensed in the Pak Afghan match Considering our U-19 team was weak anyhow it's great they have made this far.

 

[Ankit007]

) what was that fielder doing

 

[street cricketer]

Please Pak fans, drop and act and stop downplaying this team anymore.

Your previous taalunted U19 teams contained Anwar ali, Shehzad and Maqsood for god's sake

 

[pasha404]

not bad final score.need to take early wickets

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Is it just me or does tt looks like this West Indies player is about to cry lol

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

Pakistan u19 will have to pull a Pakistan here, the bowlers are gonna have to bowl really well

 

[Belawal2014]

Is it just me or does tt looks like this West Indies player is about to cry lol

Rondu. :ahmed

 

[hur rizvi]

Anwar Ali was a gem as an U19 bowler, he has lost his swing now, Jamshed was another very fine bowler no talented player like them in this XI

Shehzad, UA, Amir, Amin were part of an awesome U19 team in 2008. They were supremely talented at that level, its an other thing they have fallen now

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

228 target would be almost impossible for WI against PAK spinners

Great knock by Masood

 

[Executioner]

Great innings from Fayyas and Masood.

But West Indies have been pure comedy. No long off, no attacking field, fielders dropping catch left right centre

 

[Belawal2014]

Masood has the swagger of Kohli.

 

[street cricketer]

Pak will win today and will thrash Bangla boys. And then we will beat Pakistan boys and win the cup. Destiny written.

I'm afraid that this bunch of gritty cricketers might give a dose of reality check to our youngsta beauties. We are yet to face a difficult team this tournament and we have just beaten Ireland, Nepal, NZ and Namibia, all of whom are poor teams.

I won't be surprised if our overrated bowlers are taken to the cleaners in the final by these Pak batsmen

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

This is the Pakistan team we're talking about, we make the impossible - Possible.

It's hard to predict talent at the U19 level and how their international career pans out.. Moreover you guys abuse the word talent so much. Shehzad is anything but talented. This guy (and Fayyaz and Mohsin) have played innings under pressure twice now. It's unfair to say that they are any less talented than their predecessors, especially considering the fact that they are yet to lose in this tourney.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistani batting has still not fired but the good thing is they still getting decent totals despite that.

I agree with you, a rare thing this though.

When Shehzad was 18+ he traveled with Pakistan Senior team to Nz and scored a freaking ton overseas against Adam Miline, Southee and that Hamish named bowler. If this is not the epitome of talent then I don't know what is he later then played the u-19 WC as well where Hammad scored against you lot to help us reach the Semis.

Masood and Fayyaz, albeit their brilliant temperament and performance, cannot be bracketed with Selfie boy as the former two are playing in favorable conditions in Asia. Their innings was good and PCB should nurture these blokes to make them into fine future batsmen.

P.S. The hype and reality of Shehzad, Anwar, Amin has nothing to do with how they're international careers have panned out. On pure cricketing terms they are head and shoulders about the current lot when compared to their own U-19 playing days.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need early wickets boys.

Shezzy was a genuine talent at U19 level. He had the talent just didnt improve, rather regressed in last 4-5 years.
