Under 19 World Cup

I think Rohit Sharma is the one who should make it to the senior team as well.
He has a mature head on his shoulder and is quite a good hitter if the need arises.

Wasnt the last tournament also held in the subcontinent?

 

[Skater]

The last tournament was held in Bangladesh in 2004, where Pakistan won.

This was an amazing performance by the Indians!

Pujara, a century, WOW!

Were the Indian bowlers very accurate or did the English batsmen played terribly? Can someone tell me that?

And, Piyush, come on get a five wicket haul in the final!

 

[Indiangod]

Amazing stuff by the Indian under 19 team!, a proffesional performance all round, India batted, bowled and fielded very well!, and that Ahmed guy hit the deck well bowling around about 85 mph, the Indian seamers bowled well, and what a innings by pujara great stuff, I hope India wins the final.

OMG!!!!! Pujara and Ahmed rocked man. Wow.

Wow India definitely comfirmed they are favourites today.
I hope the Aussies make it to the finals as I really want to see their players tested by the best.

I wonder, is there a way to watch Semi Finals? Sky Sports is broadcasting....

Any channels elsewhere broadcasting?

Sony Max is the official broadcast partner of the U19 World Cup, but apparently, they are not showing the matches on their channel!

I hope Pakistan will play against India.

Today is the match.

Also Nepal upsetted South Africa by beating them with two runs: http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/...-U19_U19-WC2006_YODI-PLT-SEMI2_16FEB2006.html

Not looking likely Zexy
My man Henquries has lived up to his rep and taken 2 wickets, Ritchard also has 2 (no idea who this guy is). Pakistan u19 69/4 after 14 overs but they have been stuck around the 60s for quite a while but before Henquries striked Pakistan were going at about 5.5 runs an over.

sorry aussie i have to correct ur spelling ive seen it a few times and i just cant resist sorry :P

HENRIQUES...i presume its pronounced ON-REE-KEZ

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's now 97-5 after 20 overs.

I once read an article about Henriques. He wasn't supposed to be next future allrounder. He just joined a club. I think New South Wales.

Yeah it's pronounced "On reeks"

Pakistan are steadying the ship just a bit here. Hopefully we won't have to chase much more than 220.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Pakistan reached 287-9 after being 80-5. Hopefully that is a defendable total.
