The Indians have a great deal more batting depth than their neighbours, Pakistan, and intend to punish the Cricket Web bowlers.

Their bowling department will be under fire throughout the 3 test series, though.

Indian hopes are high, hearing news of Cricket Web captain and opening batsmen, Thamba Mamesh, catching a plane to Pakistan to join the Cricket Web test squad.

India U/19 vs Cricket Web U/19 First Test, played at Mohali

India Cruise to Victory

Cricket Web, still on their high of dominating Pakistan, were rolled in the first youth test of three against India in Mohali earlier today.

The Indian batsmen applied themselves, whilst the Cricket Web batsmen faultered, the common theme between Cricket Web and Pakistan in their previous series.

Cricket Web will need to dig deep to get back into the series, now 1-0 down.

Man of the Match: TM Srivastava ( 97 & 116 )

Dissapointing loss for CW there, but am extremely happy with my selection and taking wickets along with some decent batting performance.

 

[Burpey]

Shattered.

 

[Goughy]

Disappointing loss. We were brought back to earth with a bump after dominating Pakistan.

We need to get ourselves up for the 2nd game.

Note- 'A' Team Selectors thats 34 wickets in 4 games for me this u'19 winter

 

[crickhowell]

Scoring my second U19's 50 was the only highlight for me, disapointing to see us lose.

 

[Perm]

Very disappointing performance, we need to come back strongly.

 

[andyc]

Yeah not a very convincing show at all there, really need to pick it up for the next two game, both on the batting and bowling side of it

 

[chooka_nick]

Gargh. We can bounce back, but that result was a sharp contrast to our previous tours.

India U/19 vs Cricket Web U/19 Second Test, played at Dharashala

Rain Rescues India

A Youth Test match ruined by rain on the third and fourth days. With the young Cricket Web team earning a first innings lead, and batting well in the second innings rain came, and stayed at Dharashala on and off.
The Indian's, at stumps on day 4, were in turmoil at 8 for 88 ... lucky to hold out for a draw.

Cricket Web are still 1-0 down, with just one more match to level the series.

Man of the Match : SJ Burke [ 93* & 6 dismissals]

 

[chaminda_00]

Disappointing draw, but very good performances by Luff, Dravid, Goughy, Burke and Cameron

 

[alternative]

Ah that sux, but a decent effort from all. Well done.

 

[andyc]

Unlucky, hopefully the rain won't intervene next time
