2008 Under-19 World Cup

[SaiSrini]

Good match in the offing. Big occasion for Virat Kohli and his team. I can see a Yuvraj or Kaif in him and some of his boys (like Srivatsava, Iqbal, etc). These guys could be sidetracked for the national team pretty soon if they win this cup today.

Good luck to them. Virat has been good with his captaincy. Good all round cricketer too. Must be a good fielder too (most of the youngsters coming from india today are above average fielders, which is a good change from the system).

India U19's batting first here. Actually been sent in after South Africa U19 won the toss. Hopefully we put up a good total here.

Now as we seen throughout the tournament,Saf bowling here with plenty of discipline. 1 run in 3 overs..Anyway India don't mind run rate for now.If they can take care of wickets now..280 is easily get able..

 

[icyman]

A total in excess of 300 would definately see us through.The top score of this tournament has been 315,i think by Aus v Nepal or so.

However,the top score versus a good team has been India's 265 against WI.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

300+ is so Much..you can't expect it against Tournament's most discipline bowling line up..You can't just try to hit them..By that you will only losses your wickets..India need to play waiting game.get singles and Doubles,when you get loose delivery hit them...Stick the basic..
EDIT:well T kohil wants pull..then pull and pay the price..India one Down..

 

[icyman]

The porblem ofr us would be-the middle order post Virat Kohli hasnt really had a lot of battin to od.
Saurav Tiwary is an exciting propsoect,so is Ravinder Jadeja.Lets see how it goes.

 

[SciD]

Get Virat in seniors squad and make him Captain :happy

 

[sohum]

Turuvar gone.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Goswami the leading run scorer in this tournament also gone..
trust me India in big trouble.28 for 2 in 10 overs..
V Kohil needs to play till the end.Thanks God.Unlike Dhoni he can play some cricketing shot..

Any shot, if he gets out, it might not look that good.

Why take on Dhoni? He has been good.

Edit: My stream has switched from India-Australia to this match. Tanmay looks good. Want to watch Virat bat now.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya We need Tanmay for real long..We need to recover fast.Anything around 230 on this pitch would be defend able..So this partnership need to build some base which can allow up coming players like Jadeja to slog.

 

[Liverpool_YNWA]

Virat Kohli is the next Sachin Tendulkar.

























































because...

He can't get it done in a World Cup Final.

Next Sachin indeed.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

At last India have manage to pass 150..

Well 160 to win for Saf..
I think Saf have done it..india don't have enough bowling to defend 159..

 

[sohum]

South Africa down 17/3. Could be a tight game.

 

[SaiSrini]

If 20 overs are bowled in this game, SA need to be 62/3 to win the World Cup

India got to restrict them now. They can do it! Come on India!
