***Official Under 19 World Cup Thread***

Imad Wasim is going crazy.

 

[Tim]

The other problem is that for the 1st time in this World Cup, Australia are under pressure. Unfortunately it's in a semi-final.

 

[Tim]

dear oh dear. Jack's had a mare in the field. But to be honest, he wasn't the only one.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Jacko! What happened there?!

 

[TT Boy]

Well that was a nice cameo from Wasim, Pakistan really should fancy there chances. There opening bowling attack is supposedly pretty lethal and the pitch seems to be getting slower and lower.

Err would people actually give some details of the incidents for the majority of people who aren't watching this on TV.

287-9, Pak has set a victory target of 288!!

Let see if Oz can do it.

Australia's fielding has been pretty shambolic which was summed up ont he last ball by Jack dropping a bit of a dolly at mid-off. He was far fromt he only one though.

 

[Tim]

A number of dropped catches..some easy, some difficult. A few over-throws and mis-fields. Not the sort of fielding you'd usually associate with any Australian team.

To end like that won't give them much confidence going into the 2nd innings but the target is set and it's too early to rule them out just yet.

Kail was dropped off Jack's bowling when he was on 30 odd as well.

Tough chase here for Australia, hopefully they can see off the openers. Jack for a lower-order, quickfire 50*?

Oh well, only costed one run.

I'd have thought from looking at the scorecard that one of the faster bowlers should have returned earlier for a couple of overs to get one of the two main contributors out. 10-0-47-0 looking a lot better now anyway.

 

[PY]

If they get off to a flyer then momentum could take them on but if anyone gets bogged down then it's looking a hard total to get near.

 

[Dydl]

So lets just hope that they don't get bogged down...

As soon as the 'quicks' came on, the Paks started teeing off, even though the slow stuff wasn’t particularly threatening, taking the pace of the bowl was doing the trick.

If Australia had broken the main partnership 10-15 overs earlier they could have been chasing a far lower total right now.

What happened in the last 10 overs wouldn't necessarily translate to what would have happened if Henriques or whoever came on in the 30th over.

 

[aussie]

goodness Pakistan really did well to get to 287, i doubt whether Australia will win this, so all set for a IND/PAK Final..

Yes I know that but other Henriques who had already bowled 6 overs and was needed at death the other so called pace bowlers were not going to cause much of a problem considering those two batsmen who played so well up until then, negotiated there early spells pretty easily. It's not like those boys just faced slow left arm, the pace boys had a go earlier on.

 

[andyc]

Australia one down, Cooper out

 

[Tim]

The ball is looping about like crazy. It will be a thoroughly deserving win if Australia get the runs required.

 

[Tim]

haha, that was hilarious. The pakistan fielder made the save and couldn't get the throw away because one of his team mates was standing infront eager to give him a high five.
