biggest game ever for your youngsters.

True.

A lot of you seem to be scared to fall from too high. How often have you ever seen a BD team to shoot for world championship? If this doesn't get you up nothing will. If we fall, we fall. So what. Lets feel this now. Lets take some risks. Life is short.

pagol bhai,

i am fully with you...i am in the upper quarter of the members here in terms of u-19 hype.

i firmly expect a semi final appearance, and failure to do so would be a dissappointment.

in terms of overall strength, i think we have a top 3 squad, and therefore winning the whole damn thing is not at all out of the equation.

but all teams can have a mental block, and i know our boys will have one. even if they beat NZ by 100 or 10 wickets, they cannot claim that pressure wasn't there.

its just how they handle it.

and i think they will do just fine.

my predictions:

55 run win or 5 wicket win for our boys.

ICC isn't doing ball by ball for BD-NZ match. They doing Aus-SA and SL -Scot match!

SL-Scot is more important than BD-NZ!

pagol bhai says the right thing. negative thoughts would not do any good for us. be proud. enjoy the moment. we r being considered one of the HOT favorites. god willing, we'll beat them. GO TIGERS.

ICC has capability to provide live coverage for only 2 matches per day. So everyday there will be no coverage for the other 2 matches. There is no other radio or TV coverage for the preliminary round. ICC themselves can not cover the remaining 2 matches of the day and still they are not allowing Cricinfo to cover those matches.

Spirit of Cricket and Cricket Lovers are the only losers here.

Don't think anything will happen at this very moment!

Here is the e-mail link for the live coverage: u19wcup@srilankacricket.lk

Thanks Zunaid for the idea.
I just e-mailed them too.

I know nothing going to change with such e-mails.
But we should make them hear our voice.

I sent that en email too.

Flipper · #39 February 4, 2006, 11:16 PM

Okay ! The Other Games Started! So, I am assuming there is no weather factor there!

BTW, Aus and Scot batting, both lost an opener! Any news on BD?

al Furqaan · #40 February 4, 2006, 11:19 PM

gotcha zunaid bhai

Mueid · #41 February 4, 2006, 11:22 PM

i just sent an email as well.

babubangla · #42 February 4, 2006, 11:26 PM

The format and style of ICC's Live Coverage looks surprisingly similar to Cricinfo Coverage. May be ICC hired Cricinfo to produce the coverage under ICC banner.

thebest · #43 February 4, 2006, 11:28 PM

Aus 15/2 after after 6
Sco 8/1 after 5
Bangladesh no news

They bought the software from CricInfo. CricInfo actually designed their site. Thats why GHOST of cricinfo is still there:

Alas! CricInfo live list is in ICC site

Mahir · #47 February 4, 2006, 11:52 PM

cricman · #48 February 4, 2006, 11:59 PM
