U19 Test 1: BD vs Eng

chinaman · #1 July 27, 2004, 07:06 PM

Bangladesh U19 team will lock horns with its British counterpart tomorrow, Wednesday, July 28 at Headingley in a 4 day test match. Unlike the seniors, the Bangladesh U19 team is no minnow in the world stage. With 100% winning record at the practice matches where the wins were not only comfortable but also convincing, our team is well prepared and ready to take on whatever challenges come by.

The BD U19 team has made visible and notable progress in recent past, thanks to coach McInnes and his support stuff. No wonder the hope runs high enough for the fans who desperately look for something to cheer about.

So, this would be the beginning of a series to see out how much progress the juniors really made and if any of them be actually matured enough to rush his way in to the senior slots.

Good luck to the young tigers.

BTW, anyone knows if this is the first U19 test mach for Bangladesh? How about England?

I think we could see at least 2/3 players from this U-19 team moving to the senior team in ICC Campion's trophy since all the senior players are now out of form. This tour will be a good match practice for them in England condition.

It�s nice to see cricketinfo bringing live commentary of this particular game!

here is the time: http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/NEW/LIVE/

whats wrong with cricinfo? this is amusing. hopefully, we'll see some good show. every time senior citizens ooops, cenior team plays, we are to get ready for humiliation. u19 should prove it otherwise.

one question though, they did good in practice matches, but how many of them are actually under 19 of age?

**Tehsin** · #5 July 27, 2004, 11:08 PM

They are all under 19. We have stopped age doctoring about couple of years ago. With a talent pool like ours, it wasn't really necessary any more.

As for the live scorecard, anything involving top (under 19s are top) test teams are usually covered. However, anything involving England, Australia and India is always top priority with cricinfo. Which turned out to be a great thing for us.

Some have crossed that line since the U19 world cup. BCB informed the ECB about that but ECB asked to send the U19 team that participated in the world cup anyway. Likewise the ECB might play some of their own oldies too.

Should be a good test as England U19's have some good players. Watch out for their opening batsmen. !!!

typical BD batting style..nothing new about that
180 we will be booked

Shish Ahmed · #22 July 28, 2004, 07:32 AM

Headingley is renowed for favouring the bowlers and the english bowlers are getting a lot of movement off the pitch.

I don't think the boys would have played on this type of wicket before.

So lets be patient before we go off on one!!

PoorFan · #23 July 28, 2004, 07:38 AM

Why always it has to be like this?

Shish Ahmed · #24 July 28, 2004, 07:49 AM

Why?? Let's be frank compared to other test nations we have not got the facilities, local coaches, physios.

The top countries in world cricket look at players diets, physical condition, injury rehabilitation and in general the grass roots level are good.

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.
