U19 Traingular: Bangladesh continues to impress

[Anna]

There won't be any welcome barring the players' mums and dads. Not even I can name the Under 19 side off the top of my head.

Rob Woodman, Rory Hamilton-Brown, Moeen Ali.....that's all I can think of. Tis a bummer R H-B was signed by Surrey before Somerset (he goes to Millfield), although Som. seem to be doin ok in the batting stakes what with Smith/Ponting playing & Hildreth coming through....anyway! Back to the U19s.....I hope they don't drop Woody.

Ben's 20 next month, and hence in the year above you. The current England U19s *should* be your age.

Yeah, they should be. That seems to work out right.

*faces sudden realisation that I'm well behind schedule if I want to play for England.......*

Develop a Doosra and you'll be there regardless of any actual ability.

I did that the other day, ask Neil.......

What about developing a "zooter"?

To be honest, I don't think the pitch we were playing on was imaginative enough to allow me to bowl one of them.

Bangladesh U19 are very strong, with lots of raw talent. Here are some players to look out for:

Mushfiqur Rahim (Test match wk/batsman)
Saqibul Hasan (Left arm spin bowling all rounder)
Tamim Iqbal (opening batsman)
Raqibul Hasan (opening batsman)
Mehrab Hossain jnr (batsman, left arm spin bowler)
Shamshur Rahman (batsman)

Don't they have some offie who bowls like Murali and turns it a mile both ways? Or is he above U19 level?

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Yeah I've heard of this guy, I'm just looking for the cricinfo article he's mentioned in...

I think this is the player your looking for, known only as 'Himel' and is not even a domestic FC player. Still, he can't be that bad: Mohammad Rafique has a Test hundred and he struggled against him.

 

[Tom Halsey]

He's not even a regular club cricketer! Why on Earth not, if he causes so many problems? I hope he plays Internationally soon because I want to see him bowl.

The cubs streak comes to the end at the hands of Sri Lanka. They went down by 14 runs overnight.

 

[crickmate]

and Bangladesh just won the final today in style.

Bangladesh 221 for 4 (46.4 overs, Saqibul Hasan 100) beat Sri Lanka 217 (49.4 overs, Mathews 65, Saqibul Hasan 3-39) by six wickets

Well done Bangladesh U19
Hopefully some of these players should be coming through soon, and Saqibul (yes, I know I keep going on about him) could become IMO the best SPIN bowling all rounder in the world within the next seven or eight years.

I am worried where the England U19 team is heading though...

Quote of Alister De Winter, U19 Coach of Bangladesh:

"We have seen a total of 35 U-19 playars in last 3 tournaments. The truth is that, everyone performed so well that we are now really confused to decide whom should we elliminate for the final round. The players have made the life of the selectors very difficult. From this one thing is pretty obvious, a bright cricket future is waiting for Bangladesh."
