Kamran Akmal to Irfan Pathan
Transcript
00:00Cracked away for four and if the ball doesn't swing for Irfan, he's going to be a very tasty meal for Cameron Akmal.
00:12Well, the keeper's got to get up to the stumps here, Wilco.
00:15The keeper has to stand up here, he cannot allow Irfan Bataan just to be pummeled like that.
00:22Naman Elja is the keeper, he's got to stand up to the stumps here.
00:25Robby Utapa, I beg your pardon. Robby Utapa's keeping, you've got to stand up Robby.
00:31Naman Elja had been keeping, I beg your pardon. Robby's behind the pegs today.
00:40And that's half century. Cameron Akmal, from 29 balls, 7 fours and 2 sixes.
00:50It's gone off to this outstanding start.
00:56Again, using momentum to get out of the crease because Irfan Bataan is going to give very little pace on the ball.
01:04Well, I'm just watching Robby Utapa now. He has just gestured to Irfan, he said, I'll stand up.
01:12And I don't think Irfan Bataan wants him to stand up.
01:18The runs are coming all round the dial here.
01:24Well, I've been in this position before as a Wilco keeper and you've got to take it out of the bowler's hands here
01:29because this is just easy pickings for the batter.
01:34I know you're testing the ego of the bowler by saying, I know you're a fast bowler and you don't want me up to the stumps
01:42but from the team's perspective, I don't want Cameron Akmal just to be able to waltz down the wicket and hit you wherever he wants to hit you.
01:50Now it's a different game. Akmal cannot leave his crease.
01:55I hope Robby Utapa's got some pads on.
02:03That's a big hit as well. It's an ease my trip. We're going on another trip.
02:10The umpire's having a look at this.
02:18Big glide, just about carries up and over extra cover.
02:24Yeah, just three and a half inches I thought, Wilco.
02:27Well, Niall O'Brien was a carpet fitter in a previous life and he's just done. He's just done.
02:43Well, it's a six and this over is proving rather dangerous for India.
02:49Gone for 18.
02:50Better. Just straighter.
02:56It's a place as a batter you don't get to that often in your career, really.
03:00You see the ball so well. Every ball, when the bowler's running into the ball, you just feel like, I'm going to hit this ball for four or six.
03:08It's a place where you don't get to that often in your career, really.
03:12You see the ball so well. Every ball, when the bowler's running into the ball, you just feel like, I'm going to hit this ball for four or six.
03:21Very rarely as a batter do you get to that position in your career.
03:25It's a moment you've just got to cherish.
03:28Now Sharjee, a left-hander who loves clubbing the ball leg side.
03:34This young man will sleep well tonight.
03:41Oh dear. Six ball.
