**Official** U-19 World Cup 2004

[Tim]

I think one of them has to bite the bullet and take charge or else the pressure will become too much.

There's no use both of them just creeping along, one of them needs to say that he's going to start playing some shots.

 

[southern man]

He bowling now isnt he?

 

[southern man]

Do these two have the ability to have a go?

 

[Tim]

I don't know much about these two...but by the looks of it, they appear to be collectors rather than smashers.

 

[Salamuddin]

At the 25 over mark, India were 6/102 so NZ are well ahead in the wickets dept but 31 runs behind.

The Required run rate looks like it will hit six soon though and then it will be tough.

 

[Salamuddin]

India need a wicket.
NZ look like they're building themselves for a late assault.

 

[Tim]

I'm certain that the NZ batsmen will be unsure of trying to charge the spinners.
They probably haven't faced too many good spinners before coming from NZ.

 

[southern man]

I would like to congragulate Mr Wilson for getting upto the magical 50 with strike rate.
Bloody ot\ath one of you two have a bloody go.

 

[Tim]

Rayudu on & Watling immediately hits him for 4.

 

[Tim]

It has begun I think...NZ suddenly looking for the money shots.

 

[southern man]

27.3 Rayudu to Wilson, FOUR
27.2 Rayudu to Watling, one run
27.1 Rayudu to Watling, FOUR

Go boys.

 

[Salamuddin]

Poor over from rayudu....India really need a wicket now.

 

[Tim]

And they get one, because Wilson is out.

94/3

 

[southern man]

Well you got your wish now.
Bye Wilson.

 

[Salamuddin]

That wicket was important for India.

But IMO its still even stevens.

 

[Salamuddin]

Flynn out !!!


Watling is the key though !

 

[Tim]

uh oh, big trouble now...Flynn is out for 0

100/4.

 

[southern man]

Drifting in Indias favour now
Flynn gone.

 

[Tim]

touch wood but Watling is the key, he seems to be increasing his SR every over.

 

[Salamuddin]

How good are NZ's remaining batsmen ?
