214 ao, Aamar and Raza doing the damage with 7 wickets between them.

If Pakistan can sort their middle over bowling they can be awesome. today after 7 balls Sri lanka were 5 FOR 4!

Yet they let them score above 200 in the end, same for England the other day.

 

[Saj]

Good recovery from the Lankans.

Come on the Pak under 19s.

SL U-19 looks like below average really.

 

[daily_dreamer]

Two lbws and a bowled for Aamer. He is seriously hot property at the age of 15.

141/0 after 21.5 overs, U.Akmal with 75

 

[dblock]

They won by 9 wickets, really easy win.

 

[hussain_0216]

Umar Akmal really seems a excellant prospect....

If we had Nasir Jamshed in the U-19 team we would have hamered all befor us

 

[daily_dreamer]

Batting prospect aside I wonder if anyone in the PCB selection commitee has watched our U-19 fast bowlers and is monitoring them. Its all good and well funding U-19 tours but what structure is in place to monitor young fast bowlers, assist them with acquiring domestic contracts and most importantly, if they are suitably talented support their transition to full colours.

Mohammed Aamer is a 15 year old kid who has clocked 86 mph and actually looks quicker than that in real time. He has aparently been out of the game with back trouble which for any fast bowler rings immediate alarm bells. What is the PCB doing to safeguard their younger assets? Rather than taking preventative measures several years down the line like banning them from county cricket or spending significant amounts on medical bills when our fast bowlers spend most of the year injured why not monitor their diet, physical and technical development and workoads RIGHT NOW.

 

[hussain_0216]

We could get Mo Amer ready by the time he is 19/20 years old.

We have spotted him young, most 15year olds dont play for the U-19 team, we need togive him the right support and coaching to fullfill his talent and ASAP the sooner the better..

We have alot of good bowlers Sohal Tanvir, Arafat, Sami (in ODI's), Rao, even this hussain guy seems OK for ODI's.

we have a few special bowlers like Asif and Gul who could become outstanding bowlers for us for a long time..


What we need is more special bowlers, more test class bowlers..

All ODI class bowlers have to do is ensure they are economical the batsmen are forced to score off them due to the limited overs and if the bowlers can stangle the batsman they will pick up wickets and be effective. Pakistan should regularily rotate our ODI bowlers and many are capable of doing the job


Test class bowlers are different they need to be able to force the batsmen to play at the ball and they need to take wickets and currently we need to to spot talent at a young age and prepare them for the test arena

 

[Boi]

Huge thrashing there for Sl u19s

Amer is looking like he is back to full fitness hes just a brilliant bowler

Great batting from the openers to see the game through

 

[pullshot]

Pakistan Zindabad Well Done nanhe Munno

 

[Mercenary]

I think we should have a poll on whether PP should become a fansite for the under-19 team and not the senior side!

If we do we'll be on our way to a possible 3rd consecutive World Cup victory instead of a thrashing by the Aussies!!
