2nd Test: BD-U19 vs Eng-U19

[Navarene]

Is the wicket bowler's friendly or batsmen just throw away wickets? They desperately need to build up a partnership unlike hitting six and then walk back to pavillion. May be the complacency is taking its toll from the last practice match? C'mon boys, cool your heads and stick to the wicket!

[chinaman]

They are loosing wickets regularly but I like their attacking attitude. Besides anyone is capable of turning the table. These are the two major things that make them different from the seniors. By this time the seniors might have lost the same number of batsmen with the score well below.

These boys are capable of creating explosive partnership at any order. We just need to keep our faith on them even if they are down once in a while.

Todays pitch isn't behaving the way it was expected. It might dry up as the day advances. Let's hope for the best.

foot step of the seniors.

Why isnt Shamsur Rahim playing. He scored a 60 in the first match he would be pulling them out of this rut even if he is only 15.

Nazimuddin 14
Nadif Chowdhury 10

Thats a bit harsh SS. Mushfiqur Rahim the supposed wicket keeper ahead of Dhiman Gosh is only 15 he turns 16 on 1 september according to cricinfo.

I appreciate SS's talent to write rhymes but looking for the next one(something more enthusiastic) if/when tigers do better....something like doobin wrote long time ago:

"This may be the game
This may be not the same
As the ones before
We want a loss not any more

This may be the game
This may be not the same
As the ones before
This time the tigers may ROAR"

[bourny3]

yeah i thought they wouldnt be right. But in the cricinfo thing for Ash when he got his hundred on debut they had his age right.

Some people see glass half full, and some people see glass half empty.

I see a vast difference between our national team and our Under-19 team interms of their attitude and potential.

If it were our national team, at 84/4, I would raise the white flag and stop following the score. But with our under-19, there is still hope that they will end up a good enough score with a good run rate, always playing to win not to draw.

I see drastically different attitude (remind me of Australian team) than our national team. I refuse to give up hope for our under-19 to succeed.


Go Cub Tigers Go!!!

[rajibpaulrana]

same story eh.......

[Tintin]

nice sequence .. 123/4

123 for five would sound better

[mahbubH]

135/4 ... 250 would be a good score from this point... but I do not believe BD tailenders :P

Interesting to notice that england U-19 have already applied 8 bowlers to have an early break thru. Their strike bowlers Turner, Munday & Cusden appear to be toothless. I can't see why our boys dont capitalize some odd 300+ as the wicket seems to be dried up and turned more batting friendly.
(but Nazimuddin has just gone )

[Tintin]

Last Wicket: 158/6
Nadif Chowdhury c Patel b Turner 36 (107m 95b 3x4 0x6) SR: 37.89

Looks like the kids got training from the senior team

Bangladesh :160/7

Maybe a score below 200

[insideedge]

Wicket follows wicket, just as day follows night,
What else can one hope, that a miracle might be at sight ?
