full, on leg, played away
Kuwait vs Nepal, 2nd Match, Group B at Incheon, Sep 27 2014 - Match Result
Kuwait outplayed but that was to be expected. Kuwait are a mix of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue; Nepal are a class apart. Tougher challenges await Nepal, starting with the Maldives tomorow who were watching them from the stands today. Thanks for being with us, this is the ACC's Ainnur and Shahriar signing off from Incheon, Raju's been with us back at Cricinfo HQ too.
scores tied with a push to leg
play and miss outside off
length delivery outside off, tapped square
high full toss, pulled away to midwicket, one bounce over the rope
full and width, cuts, stifled appeal
full and lashed over the top, two bounces to the long-off fence
full, played to leg
and that's a good catch, high full toss pulled round to backward square who takes moving to his left
not too short and not too shabby but the back foot drive is timed magnificently
Mahmoud Bastaki, baseball cap back to front a la Geoff Boycott, on to bowl off-spin
clipped off the pads with good timing to square leg
wide and high full-toss, lashed through cover
and again, coming in from a length
play and miss outside off, trying a back-foot force
full, in the slot, driven to cover
full, clipped off the pads
Yajendra (India): "Shakti Gauchan remaining wicketless is the biggest achievement for Kuwait." So catty you, Yajendra. Actually the biggest achievement for Kuwait is to field a team of Arabs who play simply for the love of the game and the honour of representing one's country at the Asian Games.
on a length, straightening after pitching as is the default Basant delivery delivery today, plays down the wrong line, ball goes through to hit off
drives on the bounce to mid-off, sent back, throw from Alam is good, bat in the air over the crease as the ball was brought down on the stumps from Subash
opens the stance to go big, long-handled to midwicket along the ground
