What's new

Pakistan [190/4] beat Afghanistan [189] by 6 wickets in the quarter-final of the Under-19 World Cup

Haider doesn't impress me much, he seems more of a hack with little footwork.

He can play both front foot and backfoot shots against pace. Yes against spin he needs to improve his stroke play technique a bit.

Guy outperformed some domestic veterans in QAE and averaged around 50, you cant do that as a teenager if you dont have potential.
 
Hurraira
Haris
Haider
Fahad
Qasim

Tahir

Great Talents, hope they will Join Pak Team in next few years.

Rohail is superb against pace but needs to improve against spinners.
 
do you guys remember that a couple years ago mudassar said that our under 16 batsman have talent,
this is the group of boys he was speaking about
 
I do want to give Heather benefit of doubt, nothing worse than writing off under-19 guy so I wouldn't do that at all.

The fact that he has scored first last runs and hundreds it's a good sign.

And I can see why his spin game is bit behind. The reason is that he is an opening batsman and in Pakistan domestic scene by the time spinners come on due to his aggressive nature he's already scored some runs against fast bowlers and first change medium-fast ballers, so he's already well into in his inning (with over 35-50 runs scored already) when spinners come on.

no at that point he'd likely just goes for his strokes a little too much against spinner and builds on it has 30 to 50 runs and scores more but likely just trying to attackThe spinners.

Due to this reason he probably has not had a chance to build a defensive game against spinner or even learned how to rotate strikes again spinners.

another thing that doesn't help him in his development is that the quality of spinner in Pakistan domestic cricket is likely more darters then actual spinners would give the ball air, and as soon as Heather starts attacking them they go even flatter and quicker so he does not get a chance to develop his game against spinners.

Hopefully that changes with time.
 
Hurraira son will have to take the responsibility here, some burden for a guy om debut
 
Some of the U19 level umpires are better than the ones at senior levels.
 
Rohail is seriously out of form for a white along with Haider. Hope we make in semi and both of them find some form along with some fire power of Haris and Qasim so we can beat India.
 
Reminds me of Abid Ali. An opener making his debut despite having been more deserving than the people who were played ahead of him, and having to hold down the fort in his first match with an excellent innings while the "established" players struggle and fall like a pack of cards around him.
 
Epic pounding by the Pakistani team yet again. Its just too easy. :asad1
 
Pakistani batsmen need to watch videos of Indian batsmen like Kohli, Rohit and Rahul to learn batting.
 
its going to be hard for our boys facing the afghan u40s. but you never know ,maybe they could pull of an upset.

We have lost 4 of the last 5 matches and the 5th being abandoned against them. With the Afghan bowling destroying our batting. So just like the senior team how well we bat will decide if we can beat them or not.

Sabr kar yaar.

U40 ho ya U19, thrashing afghanis is just business as norm. :yk
 
He's malik's relative but still didn't play until now.

No nepotism here. Good to see
 
Hurraira is related to Shoaib Malik as per Bazid Khan. I hope the fans dont start calling him a parchi too.
 
I said it in the last game that this guy can't score. This clown ijaz has a lot to answer.

Let them say what they want bro. Nothing matters more than results and runs on the board
 
Loving the way Hurraira is guiding his partners as well.
 
*** is this the standard how could mankading still be allowed after all these instances batsmen wasn’t even warned
 
The batting talent coming in after Rohail has been average to say the least. Fahad Munir and Qasim Akram look to be playing the wrong game.
 
There should be a law that you should give a warning before

This was disgusting
 
They all look like tail enders against wrist spin

Imagine if Hurraira didn't play, repeat of Asia cup
 
Mankad is a rule. It shouldn't be there but if it is you can't do much about it.
 
Need to negotiate 5 overs of wrist spinners and milk others.
 
They're looking absolutely clueless against the spinners. The match is already in the bag but I think we're going to have a bad time against India.
 
Mankad will make sure that other countries don't play this sport seriously. Pathetic rule.

Afghanistan arguably have better spinners than India.
India have some mad fast bowlers though

Imagine every team start doing it at international level as well. Also it means if its in the books everybody not doing it is actually costing his team?

There should be a warning in the rule before actually doing it. As it wont cost the bowling team anything other than bowler stopping on his run up to give warning.
