[Sledger]

100 for Farhat.

 

[Fawad2010]

Thanks, there's even ball by ball! What more could a man want, eh?

Live match??

 

[Fawad2010]

100 up for farhat, commentatators are all praise for him

 

[iafzal]

100 up for farhat, commentatators are all praise for him

his father-in-law must be listening that is why

 

[Fawad2010]

Awesome ball!!!
In the blockhole

 

[Sledger]

Farhat bowled by Hammad, cleaned up with a yorker.

 

[Fawad2010]

Farhat out

 

[d0gers]

Thanks, there's even ball by ball! What more could a man want, eh?

Heh yeah, surprisingly Cricinfo came through. Wouldn't have expected it.

 

[Sledger]

Another good yorker, keep the ball in the blockhole..

 

[Sledger]

Raza bowling the 17th over.

 

[saqlain]

I don't see any quality cricket. I mean it is just an okay innings from both sides.

 

[Fawad2010]

Will it be Hassan Raza vs. Raza Hassan?

 

[Khabri420]

Shahzaib you beauty )

 

[Fawad2010]

Collapse

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Was that a slower ball? Farhat's head as usual up in the air.

Shahzaib out too.

 

[Sledger]

Shahzaib is the definition of a cowlasher lol.

 

[khanz141]

I am getting impressed more and more as I see this hammad azam guy play. His fielding, and bowling has been superb so far. Hopefully he does bat good too

 

[Khabri420]

I am surprised Shehzad hung on to that. Must be the next Jonty Rhodes in the making

 

[Fawad2010]

174/3

 

[taaveez]

All said and done, Raza Hasan looks like the real deal.

 

[d0gers]

WTH. Geo has interrupted the broadcast for Geo News.

Come on man.

 

[taaveez]

Haven't seen a single aggressive short ball from U-19. A combo of pace and pitch.

 

[Sledger]

Final over for Raza..

 

[Fawad2010]

187/3 after 19 overs

 

[Sledger]

Beautifully bowled so far, just singles.

 

[ShehryarK]

Wow, Hassan Raza hitting sixes!!!

 

[Sledger]

195 the target then, Pak A should win this one easily.

 

[Fawad2010]

Ok so the target is 195 I think it will be hard with Sami and asif on the bowling side.

 

[ShehryarK]

These Under-19 bowlers, bar Raza Hassan (and maybe Usman Qadir), are all below average it seems. Saw them in the U-19 semis and finals and was shocked at how poor they were compared to the Australian pacers!

 

[Sledger]

Superb bowling by Raza once again!

4.0 - 0 - 22 - 2

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

195 to win. Could be interesting for a bit.

 

[Sledger]

Where was Fayyaz Butt?

 

[ShehryarK]

Live match??

Nah, don't have time for that, meetings, conference calls, etc.

 

[Fawad2010]

Hassan 2/22 in 4 overs with 5.5 economy!! Awesome!

 

[hmujtaba]

Raza Hassan Got Hassan Raza

 

[Fawad2010]

If they get 50+ in powerplay overs with less then 2 wickets
then maybe...

 

[Sledger]

Sami drops Ahsan Ali off Asif.

 

[Fawad2010]

Dropped

 

[Sledger]

6/0 after one, good over.

 

[Sledger]

Sami drifts on the pds, flicked away for 4.

 

[Sledger]

Out, 10/1 - Arafat takes the catch.

 

[Fawad2010]

Not a long second life for ahsan Ali

 

[Sledger]

10/1 after 2, already looking almost impossible for the kiddos.

 

[Fawad2010]

10/1 after 2 overs

 

[Fawad2010]

Pakistan ka sachin tendulkar... Haha

 

[Sledger]

Ohhh, Asif goes right through Azam with an in seamer, just misses off.

 

[Fawad2010]

Ohhh, Asif goes right through Azam with an in seamer, just misses off.

That was close one indeed

 

[Fawad2010]

Ok, game over! These u19 are good but not that good. I am off to sleep. It's almost 4 in the morning! They can't even score in pp overs!

 

[Sledger]

Shahzad taking it to Asif.

 

[Sledger]

10 off three in this over Ahmed Vs Asif.

 

[Sledger]

34/1 after 5.. need to get a bit of a move on.

 

[taaveez]

Well, if U-19s end up scoring anything in the range of 140-150, then that would be equivalent to SL or Aus scoring 200 against this bowling attack.

 

[Sledger]

Shehzad on absolute fire at the mo, 6 and 4 off Yasir.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Shehzad definitely has more shots than Babar but can he stay at the wicket and rotate strike till the end?

 

[ShaazE]

Shehzad owned Asif.


Gul > Asif.

 

[Sledger]

Babar out now, looked to go inside out but got no power; straight to Sami - 68/2.

 

[Sledger]

Ghumman bowled by Rehman. Oh well, very good fight from the U19 boys.

 

[Sledger]

Hammad gets off the mark with a 6 - I rate the kid highly as a batsman.

 

[taaveez]

About a century needed in 7 overs. But their target should be to cross 160 to humble this Pak A squad.

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Hammad gets off the mark with a 6 - I rate the kid highly as a batsman.

Yea me 2. I think he s better batsman than T20. I reckon he can be a very good one day batsman.

 

[Sledger]

Yes, they should have a min total in mind but they should still be targetting the win ultimately. Although a mini miracle is required here, 7 wickets in hand and Shehzad playing quite well.

 

[taaveez]

A squad is preserving their quickies for the second game. So anything looking close to a semi miracle will bring back Sami and others. Once Shehzad is out and 50 to get in 3 overs, it's basically academic.

 

[taaveez]

Sami's yorkers here alone make Gul look out of date.

 

[Sledger]

62 needed off 24.
Sami has a history of being wayward so it may not be over just yet though it will be very very tough - should still have a chance in the last over though even if its a 20+ over required.

 

[taaveez]

Wow, McCullum-ish

 

[taaveez]

Tardy of Shehzad

 

[Sledger]

Nevermind, looks like Sami has hit the jackpot with a runout lol.

 

[pak4life]

great fielding by sami

 

[Sledger]

Yes thats out, sad end to a brilliant innings - much better than Farhat's.

 

[taaveez]

My offer is still open for U-19s. Score 160 and you'll have done your job.

 

[Sledger]

And its 2 wickets in as many balls, Hammad bowled going for that paddle-sweep past fine leg.

 

[NavSheikh786]

Sami bowling quick

 

[Sledger]

139/5 with 3 to go.

 

[pak4life]

very poor shot by hammad bowled by sami trying to do the scoop. Hit down the ground not a big fan of these scoops

 

[NavSheikh786]

Ramiz Aziz looks like he has a good technique!

 

[Sledger]

Regardless, its been a gutsy effort by these kids. I certainly didn't expect them to be in the game chasing near 200 for as long as they did, they've shown heart even though its been men against boys here (literally).

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz Aziz is rubbish.

 

[NavSheikh786]

Ramiz Aziz is rubbish.

Is he? One shot of his looked quite good, although the rest looked quite crap

 

[Sledger]

From what I've seen of him, he looks like someone who puts a lot of pressure on himself and usually fails to put bad balls away. He's not the worst technically but he doesn't seem so talented.

 

[Sledger]

Sami bowls Waqas, good finish from Pak A here.
