that's it....a juicy half volley outside off is disdainfully put away past the covers
S Africa U19 vs IND Under-19, Group B at Kuala Lumpur, Feb 19 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary
IND Under-19 won by 6 wickets (with 48 balls remaining)
A comprehensive victory for India, though honestly the chase didn't make for very attractive cricket. From the team's point of view, the batsmen needed an opportunity to play themselves in and they did so today, in particular Taruwar Kohli.
It was a very different South African team today as we don't often see them fielding so many military medium pacers. Still, they took the pace off the ball and made the Indians work hard for their runs.
India remain on top of the table with four points from two games, thanks to Pradeep Sangwan's 5 for 44 this morning. He's also the Man of the Match.
South Africa face Papua New Guinea next at the same venue on February 21. India face West Indies here as well the next day. That's it from us here. We hope you enjoyed the coverage. This is Kanishkaa saying cheers!
could that be it? No. Half volley around of stump, Pandey goes for the across the line heave but doesn't time it well enough to reach the midwicket boundary
YAWN!
slower ball outside off, he opens the face and dabs to short third man
well bowled, the ball comes on quicker off a good length and Pandey does well to cover the line
full toss outside off, forcefully driven to mid-off
slides towards the pads, Pandey turns it to midwicket
opens the face of the bat and glides it down to third man
turned wide of square leg
Oh and by the way, for the previous ball replays showed the ball brushing the fielder's cap just after the slide at the boundary. That would have cost 5 penalty runs for South Africa
pitches close to the pads, worked to midwicket
half volley outside off, Pandey drives and beats the arc between cover and mid-on , there wasn't enough timing to reach the boundary though
pitches outside off, Pandey shoulders arms
hits a good length outside off and Pandey opens the face and dabs it down to third man
Pandey is drawn forward into the forward defensive push and misses, the keeper whips off the bails but the foot was well in
tries a delicate dab to third man but in doing so nearly gets a thin edge through to the keeper
the offcutter this time, he waits on it and pushes to the offside
hits a good length wide outside off, pandey isn't interested in chasing that
goes for the off drive but closes the face of the bat and works it to midwicket
pushed towards point
