ICC WCL Div 5.
Jersey
30/05/08

Nepal now enters the most important phase of the tournament after regular minnow bashing in the league rounds. Nepal will play much media hyped Afghanistan, who was thought to be the tournamnet favourite till they were soundly beaten by Singapore. Afghanistans place in the semis are courtesy of media hype, weather fortunes and mismanagement. Singapore deserved to be in semis after having such a great tournament.

Nepal is still unbeaten and group leader of their team. The team lead by two Ds' (Dias, the coach and Das, the captain) are still to be tested. Nepal have a decent performance against USA, the only team which challaned Nepal seriously but the score is still to be settled as weather didnot allowed USA to bat.

However, Nepals problem of batting is still unsolved. Gyanandra Malla is at prime form and Alam is helping with bat a lot but other major batsman have not yet clicked yet. Nepal have depth in batting, as Das and B Regmi are regular 8 & 9 numbers. Paresh Lohani and Shakti Gauchan havent performed a lot with bat and Shakti isnt contributing a lot with ball either. Given the way Alam is taking wickets and Das stopping the run flow, any team at this level would have major problem in scoring 200 against Nepal.

Lets hope, Nepal to reach the finals which will open the door to Division 4, which is one step closer to World Cup 2011. I hope to see five sub-continental team ( Ind, Pak, Sri, B'desh and Nepal) in the 2011 WC.

Best of Luck to both RHINOS and the TALIBANS.

in 37 overs which is 2.51 runs per over.

Should take 1 or 2 more wickets within 3 overs so that Nepal can limit Afganistan within 160 (Reachable score for Nepal) 

Take the wicket of M Nabi Eisakhil who has scored 31 in 47 balls (a threat for RHINOS). Get him....Quick....anyway........

 

What is your view guru? 

S Regmi to M Nabi Eisakhil, SIX That one lands well over the rope at wide long on....

Nepal have change Regmi after this over.   ....

(23 runs in last 5 overs ).   I am much worried. 114 for 5 in 41 overs

Why was Nepal thrown into Division Five, the lowest ranked division of all? Shouldn’t we have included to Division Three, if not higher? Since when did Argentina and Italy start to play better cricket than Nepal? Either I am missing something, or I must not have followed cricket for a long time.

Nepal ko batting ramro chaina. I don't want nepal to be another chocker like South Africa. This is the most important game for nepal . Not even final is as important.

Lets  analyse how Afgan bowling attack is. Wether it is weak enough for Nepal to chase its score.

Bahamas bowled out for 46
Botswana bowled out for 128
Japan bowled out for 97

Now i am really worried.

M Nabi Eisakhil out. Danger man gone.


yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Comon nepal Now bolwed them out below 140

Balla gayo SALEy
