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

[germanboy]

some great foot work there for a beautiful cover drive for four

 

[iHammad]

Score?

 

[Inswinger]

22/2 after 8

 

[iHammad]

We are gonna lose

 

[hashman]

lol. We having problems calling at the Under 19's level. Azeem telling Ahsan Ali to start calling issed:

 

[Juggernaut]

Their kids copy guys like Sachin and Dravid.

Our kids copy Shahid Afridi.

Hence the techniques.

With so much cricket on TV nowadays it's not hard to copy a technique, pick up some tips and tricks.

But it also says a lot about our coaches.

 

[germanboy]

213 runs is a target which is not that easy to defend a single little parnership can hurt the opposition badly and you can take full advantage

 

[Juggernaut]

Why does he need to play that?

There's a slip in place. Your 2 down. Thats a very high risk shot.

Sometimes these lads seem brainless.

 

[iHammad]

2 runs

 

[iHammad]

 

[d0gers]

oh man the umpire at this end is Kumar Dharmasena!

 

[Juggernaut]

Good Shot Ahsan Ali.

That's it.

Put away the shitty balls. Respect the good balls. Use your brain and use your feet.

 

[saj001]

ghumman gone

 

[hashman]

3-35 now. Flashing at it for no reason

 

[Uncle Sam]

same old sh!t !!! playing away from the body and NOT freaking getting BEHIND the ball.

 

[Juggernaut]

Thought I'd see something different from the young Pakistani's.

Seem like they are a perfect sum up of Pakistan cricket in general. Bowl well, bat poorly and look to a lose a game when you should really have not much trouble chasing it.

 

[d0gers]

this is good bowling. the batters aren't quite up to it.

 

[saadjhussain]

we've got the best coaches in the world, they're teaching them brilliantly. give them bonuses

 

[iafzal]

These guys seemed by their collapse they are primed to be in senior team.
These guys are ready.

 

[adeem_as]

I want to know how did Babar Azam scored so many runs. The guy is pathetic. No use of feet. This team to lose. They dont deserve to be in the final. sorry guys. not with this batting.

 

[shane]

It's quite funny really, if Pakistan had not won so dramatically against Bangladesh then they would have knocked the Windies out of the tournament. Now they themselves look like they are going home and the Windies might win the tournament, having been a whisker away from departing. Not that Im saying Pakistan should have lost against Bangladesh because the way they are playing here they would have lost the semi-final regardless of who they were playing.

Also, for anyone who does not have a stream for this match, or cannot watch it on TV, I find that bet365 is the best for up-to-date scoring.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The commentator summed it up in the game against india for us.
"Easy target that they made hard for themselves"..

I remember Brian Lara's back lift.... he would bent down and lift his bat so high that the bat handle would be parallel to his helmet while the blade would be 4 feet above his back,,, while our guys seem like to have bat handle stuck in their genitals.

 

[Inswinger]

I want to know how did Babar Azam scored so many runs. The guy is pathetic. No use of feet. This team to lose. They dont deserve to be in the final. sorry guys. not with this batting.

So the WI team deserves to be in the finals? After having lost to us once before?

 

[saadjhussain]

semi final - fail

 

[shane]

No reason to be too harsh. They have not lost yet and, even if they do, they will have won 4 games out of 5 which is not bad. Plus they secured a fat bonus from the fat PCB.

 

[asif194]

This partnership is very important,,,
Rameez needs to show bit of lara version

 

[shane]

This partnership is very important,,,
Rameez needs to show bit of lara version

It would be ironic if he could do that against the West Indies...

 

[iHammad]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

We are not good at chasing BUT hopefully we can still win

Its important these 2 bat for atleast 15 overs - the run rate will increase the longer they are out there

 

[saj001]

Ahsan Ali looks class

 

[namak]

Heard a lot of hype about Azeem Ghumman. After watching two innings, I can safely say it was all hype, nothing more.

 

[Inswinger]

Heard a lot of hype about Azeem Ghumman. After watching two innings, I can safely say it was all hype, nothing more.

Good to hear you judge players based on two innings....

 

[Rana Banana]

rameez is playing very slowly he needs to look for singles

 

[saj001]

Ahsan gone

 

[McBoom]

Wasim is one of the worst commentators in the world!

 

[Uncle Sam]

man-o-man .... what a true reflection of our national squad !!!

 

[Inswinger]

Rameez better pick it up now with Ahsan gone. This match is getting away with every dot ball.

 

[anakin]

another batting collapse!!!

 

[namak]

Good to hear you judge players based on two innings....

Its not judging a player in 2 innings.Its his technique against an outswinger. In both games. Do you believe he has the right technique playing outswingers?

 

[anakin]

IS Aziz planning to bat through out the day with 36 score like Gavaskar. A legend in the making.

 

[Rana Banana]

get rameez into the test side

 

[Dr Khan]

That's what happens when they are given cash rewards before winning a tournament. After beating India they lost focus.

Stupid PCB, why give these kids 100,000 Rs even before semifinal? They thought their work was done.

 

[Rana Banana]

finaly rammez hits a boundary

 

[McBoom]

This West Indian off-spinner is a straight forward chucker.

 

[namak]

This West Indian off-spinner is a straight forward chucker.

The action does look dodgy. I wonder if someone reported it

 

[anakin]

Good recovery. now the match has got interesting.

 

[iZeeshan]

We're going to win this.

I can feel it.

 

[Digital]

We're going to win this.

I can feel it.

Say Insha Allah !

 

[Uncle Sam]

Looks like this guy Rameez is not only fart in the end but he has put a lot of unnecessary pressure on his partner as well who will eventually lose his temperament and get out in a rush of blood.
Does have even understand the concept of finding the gaps and taking singles if u cant freaking hit big?

 

[anakin]

2 dull overs, pressure back on.

 

[anakin]

*** is Rameez doing???

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rameez is letting us down here. Needs the singles.

Hammad the beast will win it for us inshallah.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pakistan still have the batting powerplay left right?

 

[anakin]

few more tight overs and game will be over. this is not bangla that u hit 20 in last over.

 

[McBoom]

Not to worry lads, we have batting till no. 10 so to catch up with the run rate would not be a problem. Plus we have a power play to use yet.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I say Rameez should hit or get the F outta the way .. Usman Qadir and the wicket keeper can bat a lot better than him .... swear to god he is making it difficult for pakistan for no apparent reason.

 

[iZeeshan]

No one's finding gaps.

Doesn't look good right now.

 

[kingusama92]

few more tight overs and game will be over. this is not bangla that u hit 20 in last over.

To be fair to Bangladesh.. they are an excellent U-19 team.

 

[Cheguvera]

Hammad's the man...regardless of the result of this match...this boy needs to seriously looked at...if not for the senior team then most definitely for the A team...

If he can work on the little kinks he has with his bowling...there is no stopping him...

Complete allrounder from the get go...

 

[Genghis]

Still a pretty even game right now ... Windies will be wanting a wicket and Pakistan will be hoping for some more sensible batting.

 

[saeed-sohail]

10 overs 75 needed= Exciting finish

 

[iZeeshan]

Rameez bogging things down really, really badly

 

[JeeraBlade]

Rameez bogging things down really, really badly

I think, he has instructions to play like this -- at least until 40-42 overs. I feel they are doing fine so far.

 

[Sparhawk]

After wasting all these deliveries Rameez has to make some fast runs before he gets out.

 

[saj001]

50 for hammad

 

[Dare2Dream]

Rameez digging a hole, Hammad hits in gaps while Rameez hits it exactly to the fielder.

 

[kasoo10]

Pakistan Under-19s require another 79 runs with 6 wickets and 12.5 overs Required RR 6.15

 

[Uncle Sam]

I think it took him 70 balls to make his last 20 runs ....

 

[kasoo10]

amazing setup this, typical Miandad situation. Let us see what the guys can do.

 

[Sparhawk]

Wow rameez is a terrible batsman from the looks of it. He got dropped in the last match an immediately afterwards cut the ball straight to 3rd man when the team needed him to stick around.

 

[kasoo10]

Anyone watching this game?

 

[Uncle Sam]

man-o-man ... he is trying to pull the power outta his rear end to hit the ball and finding the fielders straight up ....

 

[octavian]

Rameez needs to step it up

 

[slix10]

Any big hitters in the lineup to come?

Rameez is slowing things down.

It's okay for now but he has to fasten it up after 2-3 overs.

 

[saj001]

rameez gone

poor running

 

[Sparhawk]

Big blow for WI as they lose rameez

 

[uzy99]

Wasim Akram keeps calling Hammad Azam, Hammad Raza

 

[Uncle Sam]

Difficult dilemma .... Rameez on the crease, looks like we can't take a power play

 

[iZeeshan]

That idiot.

 

[IAJ]

What a silly run out. This "little Lara" has got a totally wrong nickname. He was a big struggle here.
