New Delhi: This cricket scorecard read more like a telephone number written vertically. A Chinese U-16 team, playing the Asian Cricket Council's U-16 Challenge Cup 2012, was bowled out for all of 9 runs against Afghanistan, losing the match by 349 runs.
Batting second, the Chinese players appeared to be walking back to the pavilion in a line as no batsman managed to put up any resistance against a determined bowling attack. The statistics from the match made for a sorry image as six out of the nine runs scored were extras.
Chinese skipper Gaofeng Hu managed to claim two runs and was the highest-scorer in an innings which had two batsmen retire hurt after being struck on the foot by Naveen-ul-Haq. Six of the eight wickets to fall were bowled out with ul-Haq claiming five. Chinese batsmen lasted 8.4 overs before surrendering.
Afghanistan had already smashed their way with the bat and were bowling to defend a mammoth total. The Chinese team, reportedly, dropped seventeen catches on the field in front of fans in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. The Afghans though, could not have predicted the ease with which they eventually won the match.
In the past, the Chinese have hired foreign coaches to train budding cricketers in the country but against the Afghans in this particular match, no one reason could be provided for the utter collapse.
The country is an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council.
idiot chinese players. try to copy Cricket! but Indian looks have good potential on copy, don't tell me you are good at Cricket because you guys invite it.
blackwater, are you sick? just sport, why it can be relate to copy.
The problem is that you guys were trained by Pakis. Send your cricketers to India or Australia. The only thing Pakis can teach you is how to fix a match.
This is the Inida's medal haul at the last 10 summer olympics games. If I were Indian I would try my best staying away from sports-related discussions. By the way, in case you guys haven't realized yet, among east asians cricket is about as popular as bible-studies are among the guantanamo-bay detaineers.
