ICC Under-19 World Cup 2012

India seem to have scrape though on the basis of their bowling so far. Have not really seen the batting click at all. Chasing 136 with one wicket to go is a poor performance,but I do hope it lifts them seeing as they are now in the semi-finals.

All teams have been batting pretty poorly here. Why single out India? I am ecstatic with this win. We beat the favorites there and it feels good to see us reach the semis. Hope we can keep up the bowling performance, and also improve our batting performance to have a shot at the title.

Don't think we'll make the finals batting this way, even if we do make it, we wouldn't deserve it.

Cricket is not all about batting, dude!

Why is that? Don't we deserve to be in the SF now that we are after having not scored?

Not singling out India, but definitely our approach towards batting sucks. We have a lot of positives on the bowling front that one would expect the team carries on into the future.

How so? Have you seen all the matches so far? And, what if the opposition bowlers bowled well like how India's bowlers have done?

Exciting match as usual between India and Pakistan. Pakistan looked too over confident and that result in such a defeat. India deserve this victory because they bowled well and Baba played a very sensible innings.
Now for the tournament South Africa will be favorite.

A bad game by Pakistan. Couldn't click anything.

No , i think they fought till last and as much as they can .

Watched the match, India batting was OK. They did played sensible, it's not like they thrown their wickets, opposition was too good with bowling.

Sure, but the bowling will only save you for so long.

It all depends on the situation, in this case we did better than Pakistan in every aspect and hence won the match, so I guess we deserve to go through.

Yeah, that's what I was after. So, if we're in the finals, it would mean we did better than the team we beat in the SF and so we deserve it, right?

What is this "don't deserve" business. The format is same for every team. If teams fail to click in crunch games despite being favourites then they clearly don't deserve it.

Anyhow both unexpected teams clashing it out at Semis. A slight advantage for India is they'll be playing the Semi's and (if they qualify) the Finals in the same ground.

Well, my point wasn't 'oi, we're batting like ---- we don't deserve anything', my point was if we could improve our batting and keep our bowling up to it, we'd be dominating the other teams.
