2008 Under-19 World Cup

[icyman]

This is great,we won !
Pulled off something that was totally unexpected.

But,i'm not a big fan of applying D/L ,especially in a World Cup Final.The D/L suited India better.One may argue that SAF had already lost 3-17,but still.

Sweet India.

But next time it's us again .

Awesome win for the young Indians. The bowlers have been particularly impressive this entire series. The two Kohlis and Srivastava have been stellar on the batting side. I can't wait to see which of them makes it into the national side first.

Sledging is a part of the game nowadays, so they did nothing wrong.

I dont see that mentioned when India-Australia flame wars happening.

Sledging is alright, but racism isn't. When Ishant did the pointing thing, many people though it was okay, I thought what Kohli and Goswami did to Barnes was alright.

Excellent stuff from India! We won a World Cup!

March 2, 2008 is going to be a great day in Indian cricket. Sachin Tendulkar answers critics with an unbeaten century to take India through to a win in the first final against Australia, and our U-19 boys have done the country proud.

Never seen the Saffa's choke before.

 

[SaiSrini]

Just saw the celebrations.. They were more like how I would celebrate had I been Virat Kohli. Its a big achievement and they deserve all they get.

 

[sohum]

Great win for India.

I didn't see the celebrations but I'd expect they'd be pretty energetic given everyone's under 19.

nah most definitely, probably, most of all players are 19+ , so it should really be U20 for all teams.

 

[Animator!]

Not really. If you're under 19 before a specific date. It works the same way all age catagorised teams work.

 

[usy]

ahh right, so I can be 19 years and 101 days old - eg. Not bad.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya usy You are still qualified for U-19..Go boy...We'll cheer for you..
