**Official** U-19 World Cup 2004

[Craig]

Finally the carnage is over....

Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina take a bow boys, take a bow.
Shikhar Dhawan brings up his 150 with a massive cover drive which goes all the way for six!

And India U-19 finish up with a MASSIVE 3/426, which arguably has to be one of the best scores ever in any form of OD Cricket.

India's Unbeliveable Scorecard:

AR Utthapa 97 off 78 balls
S Dhawan 156 not out off 138 balls
AT Rayadu 53 off 51 balls
S Raina 90 off 38 balls
Gaurav Dhiman 5 off 3 balls.

UNBELIEVABLE STUFF.

Eep.

I'm shocked Uganda are there. Didnt even know cricket is even played there, and I would know if there is cricket is played in a country.

If Ireland do ok, I hope the game takes off over there.

 

[Jono]

S Raina - 90 (38) :O

That would of included some big hitting.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ravi Bopara an integral part of England's victory.

I'm shocked Uganda are there. Didnt even know cricket is even played there, and I would know if there is cricket is played in a country.

Uganda had a wonderful ICC Trophy in 2001.

Don't remember the details too clearly, but I think it involved fast bowlers and a century from well down the order.

More importantly, the West Indies only just beat Ireland by 6 runs.

The Windies probably thought they had knocked up a decent total of 265, but it almost proved to be not enough as Ireland only just failed to pull off a huge upset.

 

[Salamuddin]

I wouldn't read much into India's win over Scotland.

A tougher test will come on Wednesday against the Kiwis.
India have never lost to NZ in an u-19 World Cup, beating them by 44 runs in the 1988 cup in Australia and 28 runs at the u-19 cup in Sri Lanka in 2000.

I'm sure Rayudu and his men would want to keep that record intact.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Uh-oh, you other countries have got trouble now...

England have called up Ben Harmison, Steve's little brother.

 

[Craig]

Christ to coe in here and say he is potentially the world's next cricketing great in 5....4....3

 

[Neil Pickup]

Minor typo there, Craig...

Four thrashings on Day 3:

England v Uganda
Bangladesh v Scotland
Sri Lanka v Canada
Pakistan v Ireland

Xavier Marshall in superb form though. 80odd (83?) in that game and 4 fifty+ in his last 5 games.

Tim, where did u see that scorecrad ? Was it on cricinfo ?

 

[Tim]

No scorecard, just a bulletin at the Cricinfo World Cup U19 homepage.

 

[Tim]

Meanwhile NZ have made a solid start 26/1 off 10 overs....Watling is really struggling though.

I think NZ are looking to play off the new ball & then pick the run rate up soon.
