64 of 78 balls and 6 wickets gone ... he is a mad :P

rajibpaulrana · #32 July 28, 2004, 08:34 AM

exactly

Piranha · #33 July 28, 2004, 08:48 AM

7 wickets gone and the U-19 are showing classic symptoms of BD senioritis.

rajibpaulrana · #34 July 28, 2004, 08:49 AM

as expected wickets tumbling .....

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!

how do u expect these guys to play in the senior side

potshot · #37 July 28, 2004, 08:53 AM

U-19 had won a side game convincingly and based on that performance, a few posts in this forum hailed these U-19 players as of better quality than the seniors. Looking at their performance against England U-19 team, they may not be good enough even for U-19 tests.

wwell said u read my mind

Zobair · #39 July 28, 2004, 09:11 AM

Guys this is just the first day of the test. Lets be patient. We should expect mistakes to be made. This wicket is obviously bowler-friendly and probably the inexperience of our players on these types of wickets against quality oppostion is telling right now. But I fully expect this team to bounce back! Mark my words

rajibpaulrana · #40 July 28, 2004, 09:32 AM

well lets go with u.......

mahbubH · #41 July 28, 2004, 09:39 AM

seems Junior team also has a good lower order! We need something different!

Ahmed_B · #42 July 28, 2004, 09:39 AM

Well these r the two very sides which played in the recent U-19 world cup.

BD was the plate champion there whereas Eng. reached the semi finals(if i am not wrong)... so obviously Eng. side is much stronger than BD U-19.

it seems that the practice match teams weren't that srong anyway..

best of luck again!

patience guys.. its a tough world for everyone.. why shud it be easy for us??

potshot · #43 July 28, 2004, 09:45 AM

Top order fails miserably and the tail enders bail the team out. The U-19 team is emulating the seniors perfectly. Cannot they emulate the seniors of some other countries and make sure that the top order does its assigned job ?

rajibpaulrana · #44 July 28, 2004, 09:57 AM

well they simply are not upto that standard..............

oracle · #45 July 28, 2004, 10:07 AM

Saw the score but just realized this is Headingley.
I think someone astutely mentioned the headingley pitch earlier on. This is quite true. The English U-19 have capitalised on winning their toss win, and they may have just had a hint of the behaviour of the pitch. I would say it is too early to dismiss these youngsters.

oracle · #46 July 28, 2004, 10:11 AM

Having said all those pitch excuses, I am still mystified as to how similar in behaviour these U-19 are to our senior team. What happened to their top order today?

sageX · #47 July 28, 2004, 10:11 AM

200 !

rajibpaulrana · #48 July 28, 2004, 10:11 AM

somehow they scored 200

Shish Ahmed · #49 July 28, 2004, 10:13 AM

Poorfan,

I've met the U19 boys and some of them have been playing only 3/4 years. Even some boys are 16/17 yrs old.

On the other hand the english boys have been playing for 6/7 yrs as they start off from school cricket then go on to age group level U13s, U14s U15s etc.

Bd has only started age group cricket in the last 2/3 years.

Also if you think Bangladesh Crickters have the same facilities as the English, please think again and come into the real world.

Current partnership 65!
