Well played Hong Kong!

[IAJ]

HK should be really proud of this performance, they really surprised a big giant, but in the end the experience or rather lack of it which cost them the match.

Very impressive effort against India.

As mentioned in the other thread, a more experienced team would have seen the chase through especially after such a good start.

Great effort. When the openers were batting they definitely looked like they had a strong chance of winning.

Love how Hong Kong played, they bowled well too restricted india to less than 300 plus, and were only 26 runs short made India sweat hard for that win. The moment the first wicket fell, it really was the game changer and India took charge. Credit to India to for pulling off the win as well

 

[JaDed]

They played very well.

Extremely well played by Hong Kong, if the other batters had supported the openers a bit more then we could have seen an upset here.

And Hong Kong's best prospect (mark chapman) was lost to NZ due to the lack of opportunities given to Hong Kong.

It's a common problem with Associate teams. Their best batting is at the top of the order, and once the top 3 get out they collapse out. HK it seems happens to have a better top 3 than most.

Well played Hong Kong. They can leave with their heads held high. This was a great performance.

Great performance by the HK players.Rath,Nizakat,Kinchit and McKenchie all impressed. Wish to see them all playing more games in the future

Well played HK. The only thing that made them lose yesterday's game was lack of experience. Experience will come with playing more games. Here is hoping that they get to play a lot more games.

 

[MP2011]

Very well played HK. However the team India played yesterday was bordering on being a minnow. There were so many passengers in the team, Dhoni, Karthik, Jadhav, Thakur, Rayudu. That's almost half the team. However certainly not HK's fault.

 

[SL_Fan]

Good stuff probably would have given our lot a good ol hidin.

 

[letme alone]

ind won the match HK won hearttt!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They are led by a fantastic lad like Rath. Kinchit is a nice guy as well. I hope these two do well even if it is against India as long as we win.
