wow!!!! future tiger ha!! they cought up with our big boys!

Navarene · #53 July 28, 2004, 10:35 AM

Just cheched the score and amazed to see the "traditional" fight back of our tail enders. Lets not write off our top order yet. Considering the fact that these youngsters have yet to cope with the new english condition, I strongly believe that they will fight back with ball and then with bat.
Go junior...go nazmul!We will back you boys till death

rana · #54 July 28, 2004, 10:35 AM

good going 214/8

TAIF · #55 July 28, 2004, 10:38 AM

Zobair · #56 July 28, 2004, 10:43 AM

"England Under-19s won the toss and elected to field first"

.... this means it's a bad batting pitch?
i guess we dont hav much to criticise then.

well... mayb just.....just except that the tail enders r doing better than the top order again.. as the senior team!

chinaman · #60 July 28, 2004, 11:06 AM

221/9

Enamul gone for 36

Navarene · #61 July 28, 2004, 11:10 AM

Enamul out

I am not even sure what should we consider as a "respectable" total. Something around 300? The wicket doesn't seem like batting friendly....or is it our batsmen who just threw away wicket in the middle?

Zobair · #62 July 28, 2004, 11:16 AM

let us see if we can make 250...anything after that is bonus!

chinaman · #63 July 28, 2004, 11:18 AM

Total: 230/10 73.3 overs

Zobair · #64 July 28, 2004, 11:18 AM

well 230 it is then! lets see if there is anything left int the wicket for our bowlers!

**Nasif** · #65 July 28, 2004, 11:19 AM

we are done for at 230...

chinaman · #66 July 28, 2004, 11:24 AM

The Stiff dude was a fast bowler and seemed to have given much trouble even though he didn't get any wicket.

He bowled only 10 over and gave 22 runs (11 extras). He didn't bowl more than 10 overs while few others did.

Let's see if Rajib can sing with the ball and others capitalize on this.

The pitch probably had dried up by now and we may have to wait for the second morning to get some moisture.

Given the two experienced batsmen (Nafis Iqbal and Aftab Ahmed) failed 230 is reasonable score.

Nafis Iqbal played 21 first class longer version match ... he is pretty experienced for U-19 tests.

sageX · #68 July 28, 2004, 11:31 AM

England will get a very short batting session.

Zobair · #69 July 28, 2004, 11:41 AM

first wicket down...Nazmul strikes! :tiger:

Zobair · #70 July 28, 2004, 11:44 AM

WE need Cook's wicket! he is DA man Man. Averages a very respectable 35 in FC cricket and is only 20!

potshot · #71 July 28, 2004, 11:58 AM

Alastair Nathan Cook is 19 years old(DOB 25-12-2004) and not 20. England are more strict in the matter of overage players participating in age group matches

sageX · #72 July 28, 2004, 12:17 PM

1 more wkt before todays session end would be a real boost for our teen's moral.

-->So what? is this the reasion of their bad performance today?
Do you really think so?

well, I dont think so.

The top countries in world cricket look at players diets, physical condition, injury rehabilitation and in general the grass roots level are good.
-->And again, I dont get it, why they are doing so bad soon after they made a good practice match?
They should realize that this is not a practice match. they should pour everything they have on this match
not in practice! This is the match they deserve for.
Does it need to be a top country or its
top facility?

Bearing in mind of all these factors BD have a long way to go, but are heading in the right direction even though it is a bit slow.
-->No doubt we have to go long way.
But what is the real definition of "bit slow"?
I am concern about this "bit slow" and "right direction".
Because it could appear to be 4 years or more like our senior!

-Totally agree.. We can't hide behind the 'oh we're so deprived, lacking everything' execuses. These U-19 team, more than any BD players in history had been given everything a country like BD can provide..Just look at all the Specialist/Coaches brought in from Aus.

Looked like they did great in ODI and in other practice 'test' against ECB.
Once going got tough, they crumbled. 230 is a good enough score - in an ODI.

I'm tired of hearing what seem to be a programmed response typical of victim mentality.
I don't know much about anything, but I doubt any other third world country (subcontinent included), inspite of its dire conditions, provided the nurturing environment that this U-19 been afforded to.

What else should BD authorities do..hatch BD players in UK/Aus?..have them stay there while they learn from the 'best facilities' and when they grow up come back home and play for us?

Besides, physios, nutrition experts, the authorities apparently even got psychologist flying in from overseas for crying out loud ??

What else..??

Yes, we gotta be patient and give time. For us to get to a state where we can regularly compete with the elites w/o being scared penniless. There will be a time when BD will be at the same level as the likes of Aus, ENG etc.

But, right now all we are asking is not to fall into the same routine of playing irresponsible cricket like their elder brothers on the other side.

In light of current conditions that surrounds the U-19 team, I don't think that is too much to ask for from the millions of fans.

sageX · #74 July 28, 2004, 12:32 PM

This cook guy has 37 run. He hit 9 4's. 36 run came from 4's and 1 came from single!?!

sageX · #75 July 28, 2004, 12:39 PM

I understand that all the BD fans want to see results soon. It is important to keep it in mind that they are teen ager. Some of them are 15,16 or 17. Let them have some fun. Let them learn it on their own.

Indian teen ager see R. Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and so on to learn. Who does our teen watch. Not much. They have to learn it on their own. Give them a supporting hand. Our support will make it easy for them to find the way.
