Pakistan U-19 vs Afghanistan U-19 | Match 1 | Group B | Buderim | 8/10/12

[Pakistaniboy]

Should have sent in Ehsan Adil!

Usman Qadir is good with the bat too.

 

[Genghis]

There was a 100 partnership apparently. A wide there.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Gone but saved Pakistan. Well played.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'm sure Ehsan was the bigger hitter of the two.. oh well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

252-6

 

[Pakistaniboy]

253/6 last bowl now

 

[Bullet Drive]

253-6

 

[Genghis]

254 is the final score!

 

[Bullet Drive]

254-6

 

[Pakistaniboy]

254/6 Final Score!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Brilliant job by Mohammad Nawaz & Umar Waheed mashallah to save Pakistan from a very poor position!

A 103 run Partnership when Pakistan were 5 down for less then 150!

Mohammad Nawaz:

66 runs in 48 balls

Umar Waheed:

43* from 45 balls

Pak finish on 254/6

Over to the bowlers!

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Well Played By Umar Waheed And Mohammad Nawaz Under Pressure.

 

[insurge]

Umar Waheed seems very good at rotating the strike - 43 off 45 with only 2 fours (and he came in when the pressure was on)!

Another good innings by Nawaz, seems similar to Hammad, both good lower order batting all rounders from Pindi. Hope Nawaz's bowling is better

 

[Genghis]

Both did splendidly saving the innings after a middle order wobble.

 

[uzy99]

Is any channel showing this live? I have found Australia vs. England, but nothing for Pakistan.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Is any channel showing this live? I have found Australia vs. England, but nothing for Pakistan.

Nope,

None of Pakistan`s group Matches is gonna be televised anywhere.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Why are Cricinfo and ICC showing 253/6 after 50 overs. Isn't it 254?

 

[uzy99]

Nope,

None of Pakistan`s group Matches is gonna be televised anywhere.

Man. That's no good. Was hoping to see something. Oh well. Hopefully they will televise the quarters, semis and the finals. I will see them there for sure!

 

[godzilla]

Nope,

None of Pakistan`s group Matches is gonna be televised anywhere.

why is that by the way? is it the boards which fund the televising or the event organisers - the icc? there isnt even commentary for the pakistan match versus full commentary for the eng/aus match.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

why is that by the way? is it the boards which fund the televising or the event organisers - the icc? there isnt even commentary for the pakistan match versus full commentary for the eng/aus match.

Nope.

The Main Broadcaster is ESPNStar

Maybe send them an email and ask them

I dont know why only some matches are broadcasted.

 

[Boi]

I think there are only certain grounds where they have the facilities available to broadcast from?

 

[Genghis]

Ehsan Adil ... entices and edge ... between keeper and slips. Tough chance.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Both fours egdes?

 

[Genghis]

Out and over covers with that shot. Zia hit for FOUR!

 

[Genghis]

Both fours egdes?

No the edge went for a couple of runs. The fours have been good attacking shots,

 

[Genghis]

Certain run out chance missed their. Big appeal by Zia for lbw. The batsman wandered out and Imam Ul Haq came running in but missed the stumps.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afghanistan Under-19s 22/0 (5.0 ov)

 

[Genghis]

And that one is an edge and FOUR. Past a diving Saad Ali at first slip. Surprised there is only one slip in.

 

[Genghis]

Just as I write that Imam Ul Haq comes to second slip. If he was here before it wold have been right in his hands.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

27 after 5.5 overs

Need early wickets.

 

[Square Drive]

A collapse there in the middle for Pakistan, but MashaAllah very good comeback by Nawaz and Waheed! Good signs there for us, shows that we have reliable youngsters who can handle the pressure well. Now let's bowl the Afghans out!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Anther four for Afghanistan and Javid.

32 after 6 and a half over.

 

[Genghis]

Consecutive boundaries by Mohammad Javed. Great batting!

 

[Genghis]

Zia gets him this time! thats the first wicket!

 

[Genghis]

Short one and he went to pull, but only managed a top edge. Zia called for it and told fielders to move away. Slight juggle, but he held on! 1/35.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Eng bowlers are bowling 93 mph and 150kmph amazing.

 

[Square Drive]

That's how you do it Zia!

 

[Genghis]

Javed was the batsman by the way.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

First wicket for Zia!!!
36/1

 

[Square Drive]

Hashmatullah Shaidi the new man in. One more quick wicket and the pressure will be right on the Afghans.

 

[Genghis]

Short ball does the trick again for Zia. This one taken by the keeper after it hit his hand.

 

[Genghis]

2-39.

 

[Genghis]

Both new batsman at the crease now.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Zia gets another. 39/2!!!

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Good stuff..

 

[Genghis]

Zia testing out the Afghani batsman with some short stuff. Great to watch!

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Zia testing out the Afghani batsman with some short stuff. Great to watch!

How is his pace.. Is he hustling them?

 

[Square Drive]

And we have gotten a quick wicket. Zia at it, Afghans looking to collapse.

 

[Genghis]

Another one goes through the slips. Saad was standing at almost second slip there. Big gap between the keeper and first slip. Coach shouts out "Saad tum thora andar rahe"

 

[Genghis]

How is his pace.. Is he hustling them?

He's troubling them with his pace and line.

Ehsan Adil unlucky as he is the ones who picking up the edges but no wickets to his name yet,

 

[Square Drive]

2 back-to-back boundaries. Time for a bowling change.

 

[Ismailtoca]

Genghis, how does Salman Afridi look as a keeper?

 

[Square Drive]

Change in bowling. Left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar takes over from Ehsan Adil.

 

[Square Drive]

Good first over by Zafar, only 1 run off it. Afghanistan 51-2 after 12 overs.

 

[Genghis]

Caught and bowled by Gohar!

 

[Square Drive]

Afghanistan require another 200 runs from 222 balls and 8 wickets remaining. 1 more wicket and we'll be in the driving seat.

 

[Square Drive]

Zafar gets Noor just as I type that!

Afghans 58/3.

 

[godzilla]

What does umar waheed bowl?

 

[Genghis]

Genghis, how does Salman Afridi look as a keeper?

Hasn't been very clinical today. Had one tough chance which he missed. And then not all clean with the ball coming in from the fielders.

 

[Square Drive]

Hey Genghis, what type of bowler is Umar Waheed?

 

[Square Drive]

Lol why can't we produce a good WK?

BTW Afghans now need 193 off 210 balls with 7 wickets remaining. Pakistan apllying the pressure.

 

[Genghis]

Umar Waheed is a medium pacer. A few play and misses from him.

Guys calling out from the dressing room "Good bowling Umar, Aziz ki chooti hogahi"

 

[Down2Earth]

salman afridi getting a golden duck today, following in his namesake's footsteps 0 (1)

 

[Square Drive]

Thanks for that Genghis. And LOL on that last sentence.

 

[sada90]

good job by pak bowlers

 

[Genghis]

First boundary after a while from Hashmullah.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Whats the lattest score Genghis bhai?

 

[Square Drive]

Mohammad Nawaz into the attack, bowling a tight first over giving only 1 run off it. Afghans need 187 off 198 with 7 wickets left.

Hey Genghis, why isn't Azizullah playing today?

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Thanks for that Genghis. And LOL on that last sentence.

I don't get it, can someone explain? #americanpakistani

 

[Square Drive]

Afghans 72/3 after 18.2 overs. Need another 182 runs off 190 balls with 7 wickets left. Zafar Gohar and Mohammad Nawaz bowling in tandem.

 

[Square Drive]

I don't get it, can someone explain? #americanpakistani

Haha. It means that the way the part-timer Umar Waheed is bowling, specialist spinner Azizullah (who is not playing in this match for some reason, probably injury) is gone and won't find a place in the team now.

 

[Genghis]

Another wicket. This time for Umar Waheed.

 

[Genghis]

Batsman tried to up the ante and stepped out to hit him over mid-off, but couldn't quite get over the fielder. Easy catch in the end.

 

[Genghis]

4-76 in the 21st over.

 

[Square Drive]

Waheed gets Nasir out for 6! Now for real Aziz ki chooti. )

 

[Genghis]

Haha. It means that the way the part-timer Umar Waheed is bowling, specialist spinner Azizullah (who is not playing in this match for some reason, probably injury) is gone and won't find a place in the team now.

Azizullah is a pace bowler by the way.

 

[Genghis]

I don't believe Azizullah is injured. It appears this is the preferred lineup for Pak. Playing 4 spinners and 2 pacers and 1 part-time medium pacer. Seems to be working well today.

 

[Genghis]

Mohammad Nawaz replaces Waheed.

Edged and dropped by the keeper. He's not having a great game Afridi.

 

[Square Drive]

Ohhh I see. Aziz is a pacer, and Waheed is already doing good so there's no need of Aziz at the moment. So you're right, he's not injured. If we need an extra pacer, we can bring in Aziz in for Zafar/Qadir.

 

[Square Drive]

Salman Afridi. Who did he drop, Shaidi?
