ICC WCL Div 5.

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.

3 overs 5 extra
(Keep it up Afghan bowlers)

Do they update the score in an over onlY? they should have updated the score board in every bowl

Ritthe,
Lets love WIDE and NO BALLS .........

The required rate is well under 3 an over. The batsmen need to hang in there and play out the overs. It wont be a problem to achieve the total if the batsmen survive for 40-45 overs.

tei ta bhanya extra le matra 143 puryaune jasto chha.

I see a big chance of Nepal winning the match. All they need to do is just stay; bowlers have already worked hard. No need to try anything extraordinary.

Oh Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sharad is out............

Oh Noooooooo

second down in just 12 runs

Commmon guys........

We can do it.........

Shakti is on crease now.........

Let me tell u something about Shakti Gauchan

The wall of Nepal

tyo gul abed lai bin laden sanga pitaunu parne

LOL Riththe

exactly gahugoro, but that's what they aren't doing

Shakti was awarded Best Cricketer Award (in Whole Maharashtra)  by Sachin Tendulkar. And Legendary Sunil Gavaskar praised him cricketing style....

He was almost certain to get in U-15 Indian Cricket team but he chooses to come and play for motherland..

Great Shakti

We have experience of quite a lot of 3 day matches. The batsmen need to take this as a 3 day match and play out this session. Before tea, this match will be over. But, SURVIVAL is the key here. Right Amazing?

Common Guys..............

Gul le pani ek chhin ma dhulai khanchha

Joshhit u r right .....all we need is to be cool for a while.....
