That was a good all round performance by Chawla not much to write home about for the Kiwis it seems.

 

[irottev]

Don't see many matches where a team wins after being bowled out for 100! Tim Southee played a blinder. In fact, his match figures are the best of all time in Under-19 Tests.

 

[irottev]

Wow, Southee aye! Might be one for the future

 

[sohum]

Ouch! Reminds me of the time we lost to Pakistan after having them not so much down for 6. This is not the time for the juniors to impersonate the seniors!

 

[harishankar]

It appears that India have some good talent in the u-19s. Too bad they don't always translate into match-winners in the senior team. Guess a classic example of such talent would be Reetinder Singh Sodhi who failed miserably in the senior team.

 

[sohum]

I think Piyush Chawla will be a keeper for the future. And by keeper I don't mean wicketkeeper.

Irfan Pathan had amazing figures in U19 world cup once--took 9 wickets in an ODI, I believe (in Dhaka). Kaif had also been a successful junior cricketer.

I think once we see our stalwarts leave the stage, these guys will get the opportunity to take the limelight.

 

[aussie1st]

Not bad at all by Southee, you will see those type of results in NZ as we've seen in some of the recent test matches.

Asia Cup in Lahore to be a little more precise.

 

[sohum]

Asia Cup in Lahore to be a little more precise.

Right you are. Looks like data sections in my brain are becoming corrupted.
