Zia comes in to bowl for NBP. Batsman top edges first ball, far from the slip fielder.

Second ball same length batsman pulls for four.

Third ball same length, the batsman goes to hook only to edge it to the fielder on the boundary and he drops a dolly :facepalm:
 
Yes Sami Aslam dropped an easy chance.

WAPDA aiming for 300+ here, Rifatullah Mohmand in very good form, no pace at all from Hammad.
 
Hammad's slightly modified action looking a bit smoother.. but too slow to cause trouble to international level players (commentators said he is bowling slower, possibly due to injury).

Raza Hasan pick of the bowlers thus far, very impressive. The only one putting opposition on the back foot.

Nawaz's first ball finds edge but Kamran too slow to react...

Rafatullah Mohammad looks a really good batsman, shame that he is already 36 years old.
 
Sohaib maqsood looks very good and solid.he should be given a chance
 
Age is no barrier. :misbah

I believe Misbah made a comeback in 2007, when he was 33 years old. 36 just seems too old, specially considering the fact that we have promising Nasir Jamshed opening for Pakistan right now.
 
Both Mohmand and Shoaib looking very good. Zia is getting predictable with the short stuff
 
Sohaib seems like a very fine player. Approaching anoher 50.
 
Respect for Fawad grows... he was heartily congratulating the WAPDA guy who scored century. Good to see this sportsmanship from an opposing captain.
 
Over mid on for 6!

Next ball cuts it towards third man for 4.

I wouldnt mind having Mohmand is the Pakistan squad
 
Zia having a poor match, just drops Sohaib of Raza Hasan.
 
Hammad drops an absolute sitter... The most worrying thing is all catches are being dropped by youngsters who a lot rate as future of Pak..

I think it was Zia, but if Hammad also has dropped then 3 of the youngsters have dropped a catch each in this match.
 
looking forward to Sami Aslam and Nasir Jamshed battle with Junaid and Nasir Malik.

Hammad dropped a caught and bowled. Zia dropped one at mid off, off of Raza :)
 
damm 350 :O .. need some big inngs from :kami and fawad to win
why wahab not playing ? Raftalluah looks very good
 
Difficult Target against Zulfiqar Babar and Juanid Khan ...

But the pitch is flat anything can be scored....But it means they have to take chances against good WAPDA bowlers which might bring up early loss of wickets..

Nbp collapsed. Too young and inexperienced.

For all those who want seniors out hsve a look at nbp.

Imran khan n zia the front line bowlers gone for 9 an over.
 
What a ripper from Junaid to dismiss Jamshed.
Excellent delivery on such a flat pitch.
 
disappointed with what I see off Sami. Shuffles too much late on his strokes and bring the bat down on an angle.
 
ohh jamsheed. junaid bowled a really well bowl. i feel the flatter the pitch the happier he is :p :p :p. 3 :fours by kamran
 
Is junaid getting that inswing?

you dont make 335 on a pitch with anykind of swing. i think the previous match reminded them that england pitches show way too many weaknesses.
 
First impression off Nasir Mail.

Short but well built would get the ball to skid pretty untidy action but is brisk.
 
this is the fourth edge junaid has gotten but either it doesnt carry or there is no second slip.
 
Umer Waheed is the best batsman in the U 19 bunch have not seen the likes of Imran Butt and Hussain Talat bat yet.
 
rotation of strike happening. lets see if they can take their team to the finish line.
 
So now Ahmad Shehzad or Riffatullah Mohmand should replace him in the squad.? :13:

none .. i will still have him in odi side .. but i think Riffatullah should b tried in place of :kami
in CT .. he deserves some 2 or 3 series atleast -as he is already 36
 
:four by alam. this is good batting anything wide is out away while the good balls are being milked for singles.
 
:out waheed hit that strong too but caught by the fielder jumping in the air. 31(52) hammad to come now. he will have to stay on the crease and make a big innings if they are too win this.
 
match over 211 all out junaid destroyed the tail. back to back wickets of uzair and imran . nawaz made 17 good runs.
 
Junaid bowled with real intent today on the Flat Pitch, generated very good pace throughout the match.
