Pakistan v Australia | u19 WC Semi Final Kuala Lumpur | 25/2/2008

1 hour to go cant wait to see Pakistan in action and Geo is showing in Canada at 9:00 PM EST :27:

Good Luck Pakistan! :19:
 
Finally we get to see the Pakistan u19 team play for the first time during this u19 WC.

The much vaunted batting lineup containing rated batsmen like Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Usman Salahuddin and others has been exposed on the fast tracks prepared in Malaysia.

Tracks that will be far more suited to Pakistan's opponents Australia, can the Pakistani batting grit their teeth and set or chase enough runs to knock the Aussies out of the contest?

Most worrying for Pakistan, their star bowler Mohammad Aamer has been missing from the last two games, was he injured or was he being rested following his recent injury. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

If you can get to a TV then either Geo Super or Geo News (depending on ur location) will be showing this match!

The winner of this quarterfinal gets to face South Africa in the second semi-final on the 29th of Feb!!
 
pakistan to win but to win the hard way

batting to fail but bowling to save them
 
So let me get this straight, it is single elimination?

We lose one match and we are out?

If so, i can only praise the ICC, extremes are their strong points. The Senior WC bored us to death, and this one will be over with the blink of an eye?

Yes, if any team loses today they are out of the tournament but there are some matches for certain positions.

Why would we lose? It will be Australia.

Its like the FIFA World Cup! I think this format has been fine and great. Just cause your team may get eliminated early does not mean its over. Still plenty of other QFs, SFs and Finals to play!

yeah thats true, but it does mean you don't win the cup. I guess it brings more tensions and enthusiasm to the game, which can only be good.
 
Big game. Ideally we win the toss and bowl. Real test if we find ourselves batting first.

looks like finally cricinfo covering a pakistan under 19 game
it will be interesting if they also provide the audio commentary like they did for India games.
 
Looks like we've won the toss and are fielding. Pressure on the bowlers to take some early wickets. We can do that.

Its on in the UK, GEO News are showing it.

Adil Raza looks medium pace but he moves it miles like Anwar Ali. Not as exaggerated as Anwar but not far off. Mansoor Rana said the same thing about him...

PakPassion.Net: Who should we watch out for in your current squad that we havent heard of? IE; other than Mohammad Aamer, Imad Wasim, Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal.

Mansoor Rana: Adil Raza the fast bowler...


PakPassion.Net: ...is he faster then Mohammed Aamer?

Mansoor Rana: No he isnt faster than Aamer but he can swing the new ball like Anwar Ali did, he is a good tall bowler to watch out for.
...Mohammad Rameez looks nippy but has been a little wayward so far. Doesnt look like Aamer is playing.
 
Rameez is definitely quick, we'll see how quick if we get to the Semis coz Sky Sports will definitely have speed cameras in place!!
 
Adil has got a nippy faster one too, it'll be interesting to see how fast they really bowl when they're clocked and compare it to how fast they looked when they werent being clocked!
 
looks like we have another contender for the keepers spot
this guy actually looks better than sarfraz ahmed

im talking about ali asad by the way
 
First ball from Attari gets him a wicket, nicked to the wicket keeper who takes a good catch to his left. Australia 31-4!
 
Great catch by the keeper Ali Asad, whom I should add, looks a better bet than Akmal at the moment.

Boycott's mum is a better bet than Akmal at the moment!

He(A Asad) gets up way too early so technically he is not very strong.
 
Good match so far. I would also like to mention that very good TV coverage as well. Pakistan need to get them out around 100 or so. Australia will come at us pretty hard as well.
 
I don't understand. They said Mohammad Aamer is down with the flu and will not participate in rest of the matches? Can't he recover from the flu in few days? They're gonna ask for a replacement.
