India Under-19 beat Papua New Guinea Under-19 by 71 runs at the Tracy Village Oval in their first match of the Australia Under-19s Tri-Nation Tournament in Darwin. Although their batsmen struggled to post an imposing target for the opposition, the Indian bowlers skittled out PNG for a paltry 65 to register a win.

Put in to bat, the Vijay Zol-led Indian colts were bowled out for 136 in 43.1 overs. The skipper, opening the innings for India, scored 48 off 46 balls. However, the rest of the line-up faltered. Struggling to build partnerships, they failed to bat their full quota of overs. Sakavai Gebai claimed four Indian batters, while Alei Nao and Riley Hekure picked two wickets each.

Defending the total, the Indian bowlers ran through the PNG U19 line-up. While Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets, Abhimanyu Lamba, Atul Singh and Aamir Gani picked two apiece to bowl the opposition out in 36.5 overs. Coming in at No.8, Tom Willie was the only PNG batsman to reach double digits in the innings.

Brief scores: India Under-19 136 all out in 43.1 overs (V Zol 48, S Gebai 4/26) beat Papua New Guinea Under-19 65 all-out in 36.5 overs (T Willie 12, K Yadav 4/13) by 71 runs

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores ...
