Sri Lanka U-23s v Pakistan U-23s l Emerging Teams Cup Semi-Final | 23/8/13

[IAJ]

Pakistan 109/4 after 27 overs.

Ya Allah Khair.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Last 5 overs, 30/0.

Are there part timers operating now? Would be criminal to lose a wicket against them.

Yeah.. Jayasurya I think..

 

[MRSN]

much needed partnership

 

[IAJ]

Another 40 runs from this pair in next 10 overs and we should be very happy.

 

[IAJ]

Yeah.. Jayasurya I think..

He averages 50 With bat in FC and 29 With ball. Seems like a prospect

 

[MRSN]

Another 40 runs from this pair in next 10 overs and we should be very happy.

how good is the lower order with the bat?

 

[IAJ]

4 no. 4 from Nawaz

 

[GreenKnightRises]

another .. good to see Nawaz working up his pace after a cautious start...

 

[IAJ]

how good is the lower order with the bat?

Hammad, Usman Qadir, Bilawal and Ehsan Adil can all bat and Raza Hasan can support them well. We have actually a very good tail.

 

[coca-cola]

pakistan recovering and UAE collapsing in a heap it seems...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

how good is the lower order with the bat?

Usman Khadir and Ehasan Adil can hit some biggies if needed..

 

[MRSN]

good to see they are hitting boundaries each overs..can't afford to chase with 6+ RR..

 

[IAJ]

Last 5 overs 41/0. RR 8.20. The injection we required without losing a wicket MashaAllah.

 

[Saurav]

c'mon Pakistan.I want an Indo-Pak final

 

[hur rizvi]

Nawaz

PAkistan in big trouble now

 

[coca-cola]

it's endemic through all age groups in pakistani cricket to get starts and mindlessly throw them away.

 

[m.shah]

nawaz gone ...played on

 

[MRSN]

Hammad, Usman Qadir, Bilawal and Ehsan Adil can all bat and Raza Hasan can support them well. We have actually a very good tail.

Usman Khadir and Ehasan Adil can hit some biggies if needed..

they may be good but batting with 5+ rr would need something..lot will depend on how Hammad turns out today..wish he repeats his U-19 knock.

 

[Singham]

Is hammad azam out? He can single handedly win this for Pakistan.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

^No, he is batting now

 

[Chromeuser]

Who is Hammad Azam, batsman or bowler??? allrounder??
He was so hyped up on PP but his stats looks ordinary.

 

[coca-cola]

and of course, the trademark run out of a well settled batsman

 

[Singham]

Who is Hammad Azam, batsman or bowler??? allrounder??
He was so hyped up on PP but his stats looks ordinary.

I saw him play against India in an odi. I was really impressed with his batting. He can take apart any bowling..serious potential.

 

[hur rizvi]

129/6 now

India/Lanka final on cards

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Usman runout. .what a stupid way to go.
Madushanka to Hammad Azam,*OUT, all drama happening here, first bowled a full on off stump, Hammad goes for a drive over bowlers head, was in air and carried to bowler, dropped the catch and wanted a single of the misfield, Madushanka collects the ball and hits at stiker

 

[Chromeuser]

I saw him play against India in an odi. I was really impressed with his batting. He can take apart any bowling..serious potential.

You mean another ???

 

[insurge]

Who is Hammad Azam, batsman or bowler??? allrounder??

Batting all rounder. Average bowler but a batsman with potential

Raza sent ahead of Usman?

 

[Sandeep]

Looks like it is all over for Pakistan.. Byr bye

 

[Sandeep]

Hopefully IndoPak final..

 

[hur rizvi]

I saw him play against India in an odi. I was really impressed with his batting. He can take apart any bowling..serious potential.

There is difference b/w U19 level and international level, Hammad azam has been very crap as a batsman apart from his U19 days

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Those 4 legbyes of the last ball yesterday cost Pakistan a place in the final.

 

[Saurav]

looks like another India-SL game in the final

 

[IAJ]

Good old Pakistan for you I a matter of no time they have collapsed and lost 3 quick wickets.

 

[hur rizvi]

Batting all rounder. Average bowler but a batsman with potential

Raza sent ahead of Usman?

Hammad is a bits and pieces player at best... He cant be classed as an all-rounder

With bat he averages less than Sohail tanvir in domestic cricket

 

[GreenKnightRises]

once again Ind-Sri match even in U-23 levels..

 

[MenInG]

Pak unable to perform consistently

The Pak U19 seem a little more better organized then this lot

 

[Chromeuser]

Usman Salahuddin is the man, if he plays till end Pakistan has a chance to win.
He is the future of Pakistan cricket team.

Usman gone, Now surely SriLanka will go into final.
Bye Bye Pakistan.

 

[insurge]

Hammad is a bits and pieces player at best... He cant be classed as an all-rounder

With bat he averages less than Sohail tanvir in domestic cricket

I agree that he has not lived up to his potential. At the moment he does not deserve a spot in international team as his bowling is not good enough and his batting is not consistently good enough to make up for his weak bowling, but he has potential to be a batting all rounder in the ODI team in the future.

 

[MRSN]

I've a feeling Hammad is in for a special knock.. let's hope today is his day.

 

[Sam18696]

So Ind vs SL final is on...

.....With India winning

 

[MRSN]

good shot

Aponso to Bilawal Bhatti, FOUR, goes on knees for a sweep shot, gets the placement right between short fine leg and deep square leg and reaches the boundary

 

[Saurav]

Hammad is still young,should be persisted with at this level

 

[Singham]

Hammad azam got 2 run outs in 4 games he played. Instead of putting him down, u guys can encourage him to nurture his talent.

 

[hur rizvi]

Power Play is 3 balls away

 

[MRSN]

their key bowler I think is Amila Aponso who has just one over left. but problem is we don't have much wickets.

 

[MRSN]

34.6
Kumara to Bilawal Bhatti, FOUR, gives room outside off, played it late and taps towards thirdman boundary

 

[hur rizvi]

Hammad is still young,should be persisted with at this level

He should be strictly restricted to Domestic cricket, and shouldnt be selected for Pakistan team unless he starts performing domestically

 

[MRSN]

Power Play is 3 balls away

this is the time to take the Required RR down to 4..

 

[hur rizvi]

Power play is on

 

[hur rizvi]

this is the time to take the Required RR down to 4..

Required rate is not a problem, problem is that we have lost too many wickets

 

[IAJ]

India and SL favourites, but can UAE and Pakistan fight back here. Interesting.

 

[coca-cola]

bhatti showing some resilience

 

[MRSN]

4 off first PP over..not bad.if we play out 50 overs we should win.

 

[coca-cola]

pakistan still has a chance

 

[MRSN]

Current partnership 31 runs, 5.5 overs, RR: 5.31

Pakistan getting the much needed momentum.

 

[hur rizvi]

sending Raza early was a mistake, one extra wicket has but much more pressure on us

 

[MRSN]

 

[coca-cola]

sri lanka have to take all the wickets to win

 

[coca-cola]

Bhatti gone... impossible now it seems

 

[hur rizvi]

bhatti

 

[IAJ]

This is so frustrating, when it looks like they have fought back they lose a wicket.

 

[MRSN]

ahh Bhati gone..well it's all up to Hammad now.

 

[IAJ]

Come on Hammad!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

10 sixes will get us home.

 

[coca-cola]

yep it's the age old pakistani habit of securing a comfortable position only to blow it.

 

[coca-cola]

this partnership has to go all the way

 

[coca-cola]

!!

 

[MRSN]

much needed
Jayasuriya to Usman Qadir, FOUR, tossed up on leg stump, scoops it towards fine leg boundary

 

[JibranAnsari]

The older the worse. Our teams dillema.

 

[MRSN]

10 sixes will get us home.

it ain't EA 11 mate..

 

[hur rizvi]

less than 50 required in last 10, but sadly we have lost 8 wickets

 

[MRSN]

gotta be careful against this Charith Jayampathi..

 

[coca-cola]

surpised hammad hasn't thrown it away yet lol

 

[coca-cola]

six by hammad...

 

[MRSN]

from Hammad

 

[coca-cola]

followed by a single, sensible stuff.

 

[coca-cola]

35 needed with two remaining...

someone is surely about to throw their wicket away lol

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

6 sixes needed now.

 

[IAJ]

Only 35 runs requried ( "only") Come on boys.

 

[akamaka]

Those 25 runs given in last two overs might be the difference
