Official Under 19 World Cup thread

[Perm]

India's Einstein Napoleon wins the award for having the best name in the entire competition.

This will probably come across as an attack on you (which it isn't supposed to be), but why do we have to have people mentioning this guy all the time? Yeah, he's got an unusual name. It's been noted by heaps of other people prior to this.

 

[Tim]

Southee and Boult are tearing it up. However, I think our batting may hinder any chance of progressing through the super stages.

 

[Flem274*]

Trent Boult 7-20

Against who?

Can't wait until he, Southee, Franklin and possibly Mills and Sherlock are all playing international cricket together.

Malaysia. So...yeah. Good effort all the same though.

Aren't Malaysia pretty good at U-19 level? Or is that Nepal?

Apologies. Didn't do my research and didn't look through the entire thread either. Thanks for pointing it out.

kiwi's - ESPN is showing coverage starting tommorrow at 3ish

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Haha, oh dear. Ireland lost to Bermuda.

All the top eight through, it seems.

 

[DCC_legend]

Dire from Ireland. Dougherty batted well at the top and Ben Ackland provided some support at 3 but nothing else really from the Irish. Quite disappointed with their performances. Was hoping for bigger and better things, but alas, it never materialised.

 

[Goughy]

Holy crap. Just saw Malaysia beat Zimbabwe. That is terrible. With the present so bad, its disappointing that there isnt even the future to look forward to.

EDIT- Also interesting to see Zim are seeded ahead of NZ for this comp.

 

[Smudge]

India v West Indies currently on ESPN (channel 34) on Sky in NZ. I'd imagine it would be on other pay networks too with ESPN.

 

[duffer]

Tanmay Srivastava looks a real stylish player. Deck is dry, very dry. If we put a good score on the board our spinners will be able to put the skids on the Windies.

Koli just had a brain explosion there, lucky to get away with it.

 

[duffer]

Very impressed with Srivastava and Virat Kohli. Both very talented but their temperaments have stood out for mine.

Looking forward to seeing Pradeep bowling this arvo. Heard lots of good things about him.

 

[TT Boy]

England have Bangladesh in all kinds of problems, 100 odd for 7 last time I heard.

 

[TT Boy]

Bangladesh currently 149/8, good comeback considering they were 7 for 49. James Harris being the chief destroyer taking 5 for 29.

 

[duffer]

Virat Kohli is fantastic, destroying the Windies here.

 

[TT Boy]

Bangladesh all out for 149.

 

[duffer]

Fantastic ton by Kohli. Looks very impressive. 100 off 73 so far.

 

[duffer]

265/5 by India. Tough ask for the Windies. Virat and Srivastava were excellent, especially Kohli with his century.
