बेलफास्टमा प्राय: सबै टीमहरु टस जितेपछि यहाँको मैदानको अवस्था, विकेट अवस्थाले गर्दा पनि फिल्डिङ नै रोज्न चाहन्छन्। हामीले हाम्रो क्षमता अनुसार ब्याटिङ गरेनौं। संघर्ष गर्दै १ सय १० सम्म पुग्यौं। यहाँको विकेट त्यति सजिलो छैन। दिनभरी नै विकेट उस्तै रहन्छ। हामी मात्र हैन, बेलफास्टको मैदानमा सबै टीमका लागि गाह्रो भएको छ र सबैले रनका लागि संघर्ष गरेका छन्। पारस खड्का हङकङसँगको खेलमा हामीले २० रन कम बनायौं। खराब सुरुवातका बाबजुद पनि हामीले १ सय १० रन जोड्न सक्यौं र खेललाई अन्तिम ओभरसम्म कायम राख्न सक्यौं। यस्ता प्रतियोगितामा हामीले एक ओभर या दुई ओभर या २० ओभर राम्रो क्रिकेट खेलेर मात्र हुँदैन, पूरै ४० ओभर राम्रो क्रिकेट खेल्नुपर्छ। बिडम्बना हामीले राम्रो क्रिकेट खेल्न सकेका छैनौं। हामीले हाम्रा योजनाहरुलाई मैदानमा खरो उतार्न सकेका छैनौं। मेरो विचारमा हामीले ब्याटिङमा आफूलाई चाहिने 'फ्लो' कायम गर्न सकेका छैनौं। कडा प्रहार या विकेट, हाम्रो यस्तै भइरहेको छ। हामीले ब्याटिङ 'फ्लो'लाई दुरुस्त बनाउनुपर्छ। हामीसँग अझै दुईवटा खेल बाँकी नै छन्। कहिलेकाहीं 'प्लेइङ कन्डिसन्स' त्यत...
