I really wanted a Pak vs Aus final..and now we got one..go Pakistan!

 

[Random Aussie]

It would be so ironic (not to mention hugely satisfying) if Pak U19 beat their Aussie counterparts while the senior team is getting whitwashed down under.

LOL not likely.

The Pakistani seamers need to bowl well and the top order needs to click in the final.

How are Aussies U19 pacers ? Are they better than Indians by any chance?

 

[Muhammad Saad]

The chances of Pak winning this is now only 60% because of the mind games and recent whitewash otherwise I would have said 80%.

Definately a tough opponent for the final. I would have preferred SL to be honest. Oz have two very good pace bowlers in Hazlewood and McDermott. And they have one of the best young batsmen in the world at the moment in Mitch Marshall.

Trust me even Zimbabwe had one better pacer than our opening bowlers.

But do they have the mental strength like our team possess?

No yar dont go that far Fayyaz butt is pretty ordinary but sarmad bhatti is impressive

All three of them are good Mcdorrmet, hazlewood and buchanan

 

[afridi_captain]

I think Pakistan will win but they have to get Mitch Marsh early. Ive seen him bat in the domestic competition he is really good against decent attack. However Pakistan has a very good and mature captain which can proof the difference between the teams.

They are guns by our standards. Bearing in mind we are usually not so strong at this level because our coaching programs haven't fully kicked in.

But Hazelwood will play Test cricket for Australia, McDermott should play ODI at least. And Mitchell Marsh has been called.....better than Ponting.

Whether they can beat the raw talent Pak U19 have I don't know.

Who was crazy enough to say that?

Some coach who worked with Ponting as a junior. Might be urban myth but he will be a top class player if all goes to plan.
