IND v ENG| U19WC Final| Antigua | Match Thread

[Stan AF]

No matter what is the age group, Indian players making the same mistake of allowing the tail to flourish.

Indian team looked mentally tough the previous match but chasing in a final is always going to be tricky. It will be 60-40 Eng if they can score 240-250

There was no need for a backend bowler at 90/7. Extremely defensive captaincy post that 7th wicket. A bit like Dhoni of late 2000s who used to let opponents get to 220 after having them at 120/7.

 

Bava bowled 7 overs the on the trot. It is not fair to ask him to bowl all his overs. Hangrekar was the guy who was supposed to provide that break through. He was bowling pies. 

[vvvslaxman]

Bawa's bouncers are much harder to hit. Kumar and Hangrekar should not bowl short here at all.

[nitinbwj]

What a time to underperform. Tambe and Vicky have disappointed big time especially Vicky.

There is no tail in under-19 lol They all bat generally for most of the sides. Especially an ace side England wins matches due to depth.

64 runs partnership in quick time. How  good are Eng's 9 and 10 ?

Generally they all can bat. Remember bangladesh no.10 or 11. He batted like a top order.

Eng reached 155 and till only 7 wickets down.. Spoke to early 

[vvvslaxman]

Bava is the stand out bowler, Kumar with new ball. Rest were average. Mostly because the pitch is not helpful by any means. Good batting deck. This looks like 300 plus wicket

Their number 9 can bat better than our middle order of senior team… crazy

So we should chase 250 easily? 

[vvvslaxman]

All said and done James rew's batting is near flawless.

Pakistan made 365 against Lankans on the same wicket 2 days ago.. no reason we should fail here unless they bowl extraordinarily or the kids emulate the senior team and collapse 

[Lone Wolf]

Hmm..  Pitch looks like is a belter as predicted.  New ball is tricky to deal.  Anything less than 220 should be chased.  Promises to be a cracking final.

This under-19 line probably has the best depth in India's under-19 history.  7 or 8 guys can bowl. Pretty much all can bat.

They have riches in abundance for limited overs… 

[vvvslaxman]

Raj is bowling 9th over. SO hangrekar will be the death bowler? HOw good he is with yorkers?

So you're saying that Indians would have done the same if they were 61/6 batting 1st??
