[Pak win by 4 wkts] Pakistan v West Indies | U19 Semi Final | Lincoln | 25/1/10

[cricfan967]

Who are we playing in finals ?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yes, get in - what a win

Brilliant innings from Hammad Azam, brilliant - also Waqas played his part as well - really enjoyed that

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The aim has not yet accomplished, We need to win the World Cup : Azeem

What a Captain.

*Stands & Bows*

 

[insaaniyat]

hahaha kidding obviously

salam, how are you. At least our U-19 brought cheers and smiles to our face. Our seniors need to learn few tricks from them like how to chase when you are down and almost out.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Who are we playing in finals ?

Australia or Sri Lanka (they play on Wednesday morning)

 

[iHammad]

MOM: Hammad Azam !!!!

 

[cricfan967]

Wow, yet to be dismissed!
Lets hope he doesn't get out in the last match.
Uh oh jinxed!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I was confident tyhat we can achieve the target : Hammad

 

[Hussain]

We Winnnnn

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Aus Vs SL will decide who will we play.

 

[cricfan967]

We Winnnnn

A bit late

 

[iHammad]

Ok guys, school tomorrow. Allah Hafiz

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hammad is a monster!

This guy has more intelligence and guts than the whole of the senior team. Imran khan replacement found!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hold it.

Breath.

Breath.

Breath.

Yeah, get back into senses.

 

[Inswinger]

Hammad Azam is vey talented and to top it off he has a cool head on his shoulders. I don't want to compare him to any great players but he has the 'it' factor needed to succeed. Hopefully he won't be lost in the shuffle of the PCB. Get him working with a batting coach and a bowling coach and make sure we don't lose him. Very good all around player. Well played young guns. Can't wait for the final!

 

[mnoman15]

Congrats team Pakistan

 

[asif9138]

this thread is too hard for Rameez!!

he played well keeping one hand safe!!

well done rameez!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Stupid thread. It was him who ensured we didn't collapsed along with Hammad, and even then sacrificed himself for Hammad. How many times you see that in Pakistan cricket.

Give the kid some breathing space. Even the Captain mentioned him in the presentation ceremony.

And above all , The kid shares his name with me.

 

[Rizie]

Rameez must be a son of Wasti or Salim Malik

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

He did bat slowly BUT as it ultimately showed, it was a crucial and important partnership

He should have upped the rate and i think he was about to before he got dismissed

Threads like this are not really needed as we should appreciate the role he played in this win

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Rameez must be a son of Wasti or Salim Malik

Pathetic, Absolutely Pathetic.

issed: issed: issed:

By the way you ever watched Saleem bat in his hay days?

 

[saj001]

Hammad is a monster!

This guy has more intelligence and guts than the whole of the senior team. Imran khan replacement found!

Easy there

he has won 2 matches and you are calling him the of Our Greatest player EVER

 

[kkmix]

Stupid thread...he played a very good supporting rule...he made sure he didnt give his wicket away.

 

[kingusama92]

He played slowly but not poorly. He doesn't deserve such a thread.

Plus.. he's our "Little Lara" isn't he ?!

 

[Kriketer]

Excellent work boys!!! Really happy for them. Ghumman got a nice head and talks sense and Hammad looks like an EXCELLENT prospect!

Shameless coward seniors should learn from our juniors how it's done and how to successfully play when you lose early wickets and not just collapse like pack of cards every time they hold a bat!

 

[PakZameen]

I wonder Hamad planned it out? just run and Rameez will have to take the fault and Waqas in who is much more agressive.






Not actually serious about this theory.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

You know what I would pick Rameez Azeez over Shoaib Malik any day of the year why??? because he can stay at the wicket as long as he wants!!! and his 30 odd is far far far better than Malik's 50 odd.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Also got to give credit to Rameez for sacrificing his wicket in the run out - there are plenty of players i reckon who would have stood their ground to safeguard their own interests

 

[sali]

Hamad and Raza are real talent. I like Waqas finishing and fighting spirit. This could be a Moin Khan in making? I hope they get proper attention and coaching for next few years and like the past U19 teams don't end up in wilderness.

 

[Kriketer]

He actually played a good sensible knock, a little slow but effective indeed. Paid off very well.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

You know what I would pick Rameez Azeez over Shoaib Malik any day of the year why??? because he can stay at the wicket as long as he wants!!! and his 30 odd is far far far better than Malik's 50 odd.

that makes no sense whatsoever

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Some pure hatred there.

 

[Digital]

Stupid thread..he did well and supporting hammad

 

[slix10]

Especially that Hammad fella.

 

[sali]

Aziz played a critical inning by holding one end. If we had lost another couple of wkts, this game was over within 120-150 runs. I am glad that he did get out at the right time.

I think they know that they have the players who can come and score 80 plus runs from last 8-10 overs. The key was not to loose more wkts when Holder and the other pacer were doing well and consolidate runs. That's how they won the game against BAN and IND after loosing few quick wkts. It's an art that senior team needs to learn.

 

[Uncle Sam]

What a sissy approach some of you guys have here... but again you have the right to voice your opinion..
lol @ "he played slow" and holding one end lol .... he could NOT find the gaps to rotate for singles if he couldn't hit big. Nothing personal against him and he can surely improve he was simply able to stay at the wicket cuz of extremely poor bowling he faced.

It's an unforgiving world out there .... there is no mercy... we should have CRUISED to the victory and that's the mind set Australia enjoys.

 

[slix10]

They're playing KIDS,

Don't compare Australian professional cricketers with 16 year olds

This U19 would fall like a pack of cards under 50 runs facing the Aus team.

Don't be so quick to make some naive irrational judgment guys.

 

[Rizie]

Pathetic, Absolutely Pathetic.

issed: issed: issed:

By the way you ever watched Saleem bat in his hay days?

yes in the late 90s

 

[Muhammad Saad]

that makes no sense whatsoever

Just imagine a bit will you? What would have Malik done in the same situation? Do you think he could block out the balls like Rameez did? At most he would have scored 50 odd runs in 60 odd deliveries and get out putting pressure on the next batsman and eventually triggering a collapse! BTW I suspect Malik would even have scored more than 10 runs on this sort of wicket though.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

yes in the late 90s

) )

Then you need to go through some of the old matches, probably youtube will have some of the footage. And you will eat your own words. Malik and Wasti in same sentence is a disgrace.

 

[McBoom]

Stupid thread!

He was the one who consolidated our innings in the quarter final against India when the top order got out for next to nothing and he had to do it again today.

He was looking for runs when he got run out and give him some credit for actually sacrificing his wicket for the team instead of playing for self.

He is a naturally attacking player and I think he was under the instructions by the team not to give his wicket away. Not so long ago he thrashed Sri Lanka (or maybe NZ) when the U-19 team toured there.

 

[AZ]

lol @ Ahmed Shehzad...can't even cut it at U19 level, and people want him opening for us in Test cricket

another great victory for the young guns, Inshallah we will go all the way and be the first country to be 3-time U19 champs!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

You dont half talk some rubbish like

How on earth is a slow 30 from Aziz better than a slow 50 from Malik, how?

Also scoring 50 odd from 60 runs is pretty good so your example is pretty rubbish

Reality check. He's 19 years of age.

You're making it sound like he's a 30 year old batsman who should do know wrong.

I agree it's an unforgiving world, but one slow innings doesn't mean he sucks.

 

[Uncle Sam]

.

Credit should be given where due ... I must give credit to west indies for finally dismissing him and got us out of the trouble.
This game should have won by us in 30 to 35 overs max had rameez been dropped at # 10

 

[Kriketer]

Well that senior team has collapsed like a million times against SL, NZ, Aus and probably few others in last 2-3 years. They thoroughly deserve every criticism. Your example is pretty weak too, no point in suggesting juniors taking on Australia. Juniors got their level of competitions and seniors got their competitions.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I agree it's an unforgiving world, but one slow innings doesn't mean he sucks.

As I said, he can surley improve, and I hope he does.
I know his age and wish him all the best to grow some fire in his belly.

Congratulations pakistani team, pakistani fans, What a moment. Yet another victory. But what the hell is our top order doing in every match? Are they always that bad?

Rubbish post you don't make an iota of sense

Fixed!

 

[Kriketer]

Congratulations pakistani team, pakistani fans, What a moment. Yet another victory. But what the hell is our top order doing in every match? Are they always that bad?

only in the last two matches they have struggled. In the rest they have usually done well.

 

[iafzal]

Well done boys.
If we win the U-19 WC it will make it much easier to take the pasting our senior team is taking against Aussies.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Let me do that alongside you.

 

[kingusama92]

BTW I suspect Malik would even have scored more than 10 runs on this sort of wicket though.

I am sorry but you made no sense whatsoever in this post.

First you say he would have scored 50 off 60.. then you say he probably wouldn't have made 10.

What?!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

I am sorry but you made no sense whatsoever in this post.

First you say he would have scored 50 off 60.. then you say he probably wouldn't have made 10.

What?!

50 off 60odd delivery is the maximum Malik can do (although the chances of happening that in such conditions is only 10% so 90% of the time he would have failed to score more than 10 runs) Can't you think it in more hypothetical way?

 

[Muhammad Saad]

You dont half talk some rubbish like

How on earth is a slow 30 from Aziz better than a slow 50 from Malik, how?

Also scoring 50 odd from 60 runs is pretty good so your example is pretty rubbish

OK seriously tell me how many times (actually just give me one eg) when Malik has won us the match due to his batting while pak batting 2nd on a green top?

Sounds good enough. Why are we talking about Malik though? )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

How about this.

Name Any Batsman in the current side who have done that?

Your hatred and picking just of the whole lot is just jaw dropping.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Yusuf has done it in the past(only couple of times though as far I remember) but I am not sure he is capable of it now and I pick Malik because he is the least talented batsman of all the pathetic ones we have got.

 

[saadjhussain]

calling him little lara is the greatest insult to the great man himself.

 

[pacman]

Sounds good enough. Why are we talking about Malik though? )

Because it is Maliks fault that Aziz scored slowly today.

 

[uzy99]

this is a terrible thread. I think Rameez did a wonderful job in the middle overs just to stay there. We didn't need to score quickly. Our require stayed around 6 an over. If this were a 2020 game, I'm with you. But he did the right thing under the circumstances.

 

[amarmak]

awesome performance by the lad... joint man of the match in my opinion.

 

[Uncle Sam]

He didn't do any wonderful job ... the bowling was too weak to get his wicket... the only way he could have gotten out was the run out. After holder was taken off, we should have butchered this standard of bowling.

 

[kkmix]

maybe you should be in the team.

whats your age... if its over 8 then you seriously need some psycho therapy.

 

[kamranO]

One of the idiotic post

 

[Ryankhan]

highlights plz. miss all these matches becoz of bad timing its shown. congrats to everyone along with the young lads. looks very good team and their fielding is top notch compare to our int team. i hope and wish they win the finals aswell and make us all happy and proud.
its sad to see that when our un 19 players wil the WC for us and they still dont make it to the int team so thats very sad to see as in 2006 UN 19 WC, we had a great bowelr called "ANWER ALI" man he was king of SWING at that time but where is he now. playing at some local county in england? as he should be playing for int PAK team. where is wahab riaz and M.talha and others? still playing domestic? how more do they have to SUFFER? its been a long journey for them and still they dont get a chance? so i wish this time its different and from un 19 winning team this year, atlest 4-5 guys should make it to iNT PAK team.

 

[kamranO]

when is the final game

 

[slix10]

Anwar Ali now;

http://www.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/player/232491.html

 

[Dare2Dream]

He played well when we needed a long partnership and got out at the perfect time (he didn't feel that way though). In Tests where temperment matters, someone like him is way ahead of guys like malik, farhat, faisal iqbal who can't stay at the wicket even if their lives depended on it.

 

[kamranO]

maybe you should be in the team.

ya pretty right this uncle sam is getting overexcited

 

[Khabri420]

lol @ Ahmed Shehzad...can't even cut it at U19 level, and people want him opening for us in Test cricket

another great victory for the young guns, Inshallah we will go all the way and be the first country to be 3-time U19 champs!

"But...but...but he's out of form" :ahmeds

 

[ShehryarK]

Congrats to the team, very well played!!!

Congratulations pakistani team, pakistani fans, What a moment. Yet another victory. But what the hell is our top order doing in every match? Are they always that bad?

They do what the senior team top order does! Today, when Hammad came in we were 49/4 in around 20 overs..!

 

[ShehryarK]

when is the final game

Saturday

 

[ShehryarK]

lol @ Ahmed Shehzad...can't even cut it at U19 level, and people want him opening for us in Test cricket

) ) Well..he has talunttt apparently...!

 

[Khabri420]

Ahmed Shehzad deserves credit for winning us the match - he only lasted 3 deliveries. Had he been there for a typical 50 ball - 10 run, the result would have been completely different.

Well done Shehzad!
