Pakistan U19 v India U19| 3rd Quarter Final U19 WC| Townsville| 20/08/12

[Sledger]

Gohar survives and Babar will face on 49*

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zafar doing well. Just stay out there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I do not understand why Afridi was sent ahead of Nawaz..

 

[Square Drive]

Very early and he might get out the next ball, but once again Babar Azam showing his class.

This is why I and many others have raved about him since he was 15. A special breed with the ability to handle pressure.

Technically looks superb.

Yup, he already looks better than Hafeez and should be Hafeez's replacement one he retires.

 

[Sledger]

Cut off the stumps, high risk. No run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Some turn there. Good for the Pakistani spinners.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Pak winning the Twitter battle at least.

 

[Sledger]

Brilliant 50. Now can he make this into a match-winning innings?

 

[jusarrived]

offie should suit Azams technique .

 

[IAJ]

Finally something to be happy over, 50 for Babar

 

[kingusama92]

Top knock.

Well player, Azam.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very good from Zafar. Keep Babar on strke.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Baba reminds me a lot of Ashwin. Action is pretty similar.

 

[Sledger]

Soft dismissal. He's thrown it away. Babar out and it's 98/7.

 

[cricketworm]

Wicket time!

 

[kungfu90]

gifted.

 

[kingusama92]

Oops.

Is that the game then?

 

[speed]

offie should suit Azams technique .

which pak batsman has impressed you technique wise?

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Well Played, Babar

Edit: Now he`s

 

[Seen Sheen]

Shocking stuff from Babar. Poor dismissal.

 

[talha3]

Game over.

Good innings.

 

[cricketworm]

LOL wicket fell!

 

[IAJ]

Typical Akmal dismissal

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Khatum shud

 

[Square Drive]

Babar

Now our tailenders should just tuk tuk their way to 150-175.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Massive wicket. Game over.

 

[IAJ]

Ehsan Adil needs to go crazy with the bat here

 

[kingusama92]

Well, we will basically need another Anwar Ali type spectacle with the ball.

Zia ul Haq, perhaps?

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaar.. just when we look like getting back in the game we lose a wicket..

 

[Sledger]

We'll only know the value of that knock in the second innings. IF Pakistan can scrape to 140 here, they can apply some pressure on this wicket.

 

[jusarrived]

That Expression after getting out in tribute to VVS ?

 

[NoToIpL]

Akmal brain fart

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ehsan Adil is a big hitter. He should just go big.

 

[cricketworm]

This was good partnership. Chand should have attacked more, but still they batted well. Dropped catch and LBW shout was there as well.

 

[Sledger]

Dropped caught and bowled lol.

 

[cricketworm]

ANOTHER DROP!!! Abeyaar!

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the way Ehsan. It may have been a drop but I feel the best way for Pak to go here is to go for their shots.

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Dropped..

 

[Sledger]

Time for Ehsan to throw the bat, it seems.

 

[Yuri]

Easy peasy now..

 

[kungfu90]

out.

 

[Sledger]

8 down. Another catch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[talha3]

Tale the pp and give ehsan the licence.

 

[Sledger]

98/8.

 

[cricketworm]

GONE!!! Boooom!

 

[jusarrived]

which pak batsman has impressed you technique wise?

I Liked Azam in the last WC , he looks better now . Waahed lookd classy .

The rest dint saty long enough . Wanted to watch the opener bat .

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another catch. Pakistan losing it big time here.

 

[cricketworm]

Let's get them under 100!! Or at least under 120!

 

[Sledger]

Good effort by Gohar in that partnership but now he's left the whole tail fresh at the crease.

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Chalo G

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now Aziullah or Zia will be sent in. They should forget nudging around. They should go for their shots. Get up to around 140-150 and maybe we can win.

 

[IAJ]

No planning what so ever.

Firstly they bat first and secondly should have taken batting PP while Babar was at the crease huh

 

[Pakistaniboy]

. . .

 

[Sledger]

140 is probably the bare minimum you need here, India will probably come out all guns blazing.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Babar Azam wicket was huge. That was the difference between 120 and 180

 

[cricketworm]

Bring on Sharma and finish it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

140 is probably the bare minimum you need here, India will probably come out all guns blazing.

Yes & they can. They bat very deep.

 

[Sledger]

It's raining.

 

[cricketworm]

Excellent work by the seamers!

Oh! It's drizzling a little.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rain is getting heavy.

 

[Yuri]

Come-on lads.. let's finish them off and move on the the semis.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please rain heavily!

 

[NoToIpL]

raining and play is not stopped

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Raining again..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Insha'Allah it rains so so so heavily the game gets called off. If the game gets called off Pakistan go through to the semi's.

 

[Sledger]

Umpires want to continue.

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Rain Rain where have you been..

 

[Pakistaniboy]

. . .



Gonna stay up so I can watch Ehsan and Zia bowl,

 

[Down2Earth]

what a rubbish performance

 

[Bullet Drive]

75mph by Sharma!

 

[cricketworm]

If this match is rained out, Pakistan go through. How many people are hoping that?

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Come on yaar..

 

[cricketworm]

No swing for Sharma!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ehsan must try to slog them. No use of just trying to stay out there. We cannot!

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

If this match is rained out, Pakistan go through. How many people are hoping that?

All Pakistanis..

 

[Sledger]

Full toss flicked for one. 99/8 and they're coming off for rain.

 

[Bullet Drive]

They are going off. Please rain all day long.

 

[LastLaugh_PK]

Ehsan must try to slog them. No use of just trying to stay out there. We cannot!

Abay barish horahi hai.. The more we prolong the more our chances of going through..

 

[Square Drive]

Do the rain dance.
