ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 - Discussion thread [From January 15 - February 06]

[Human786]

Kundu is struggling ... 3 from 27 . Should rotate strike .

 

[Devadwal]

Kundu 3(27) *

Kundu is struggling ... 3 from 27 . Should rotate strike .

It is not an easy pitch. Vaibhav is looking a class apart because he can punish a slightly bad bal very brutally.

 

[Human786]

Looking at the spongy & at times variable bounce , they should aim for 240 .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Awesome hilarious story about the commies - Rohan JaiVishwa Gavaskar and HD Ackerman, and their Dad's playing together inthe World XI vs Aus 1973....and making Don Bradman carry their bags without realizing who he was, What a story.....Gems like this make our game richer....

Blind sloggering again?

 

[Hellion]

Blind sloggering again?

If only PAK batsmen could slog like this in the BBL and not be the laughing stock of the cricketing world

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Big moment in the match...Vaibhav goes....what a halwa ball and shot....Bangladesh surely have to be fav from here

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Blind sloggering again?

No bro he played well and controlled his batting. Without his knock India would have been down and out. Now he has given a fighting chance

True but it has nothing to do with this thread.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Kundu playing a tuk tuk knock... Looks like 1st day, 1st session of the 1st test match..

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladesh age fudger are well on the top

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bangladesh age fudger are well on the top

I think I this is enough for India. Kundu played a good knock in context of the game and age fudger Vaibhav cashed in hard too. 170 will be too much for our honest youngsters against this bowling attack of age fudger and IPL millionaires.

Most of Indian batsman threw away wickets just like 6th one gone on a nothing delivery.

Surely Bangladesh age fudger can chase this small target otherwise what the use of age fudging if they cant even with this level.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Looking forward to seeing highly rated deepesh bowl for India.

 

[Hellion]

Kanishk Chauhan is potentially an age fudger by a year or two.

 

[Vikram1989]

Is this hakim guy bowling or throwing? Sometimes he is bowling awkwardly like a medium pacer with slow run up.if he is bowling his regular off spin, it looks fine.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Kanishk Chauhan is potentially an age fudger by a year or two.

Yaar, the whole team is age fudger...from the very first U-19 age group WC ever played till this one....including the Lombard U-15 WC in 1996....and will also happen in future WC's....

U left out the biggest AF of them all...Sachin...

You don't need to be sarcastic, brother. He's definitely a fudger by a year or two.

I also think all of Sameer Minhas, Abdul Subhan, Mohammad Shayan, Ali Raza and Umar Zaib have fudged their ages

Unless there is proof....its attacking the integrity of any nation or their setup- any where...sarcasm rules...

He just turned 19 in September but he's already a final year BA student. There's enough evidence that he is at least a year older

 

[Human786]

Blind sloggering again?

You don't watch cricket , do you ?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rain has come to spoil the fun of INdia Bangaldesh game

 

[Devadwal]

Almost Every game Is rain effected . Pathetic

PLEASE TAKE YOUR AGE FUDGING CONVERSATION TO SOME OTHER THREAD

THIS THREAD IS FOR WORLD CUP GAMES.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This henil Patel guy looks like father of two. How come he is under 19? He is the biggest age fudger in this under 19 world cup. I don't think anyone is near his age.

This guy's son played in playground with Vaibhav

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This guy's son played in playground with Vaibhav

By the looks of it. This henil Patel looks like 25 atleast. Look at his full beard and that middle aged uncle face. He is way too old for u-19 kids.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Half of Indian team looks over 19 years of age. This ambrish guy looks well over 19 and few others as well.
Suryavanshi is definitely not 15 he is atleast 18 but he is under 19

 

[Human786]

194/7

 

[Human786]

194/7

49 over game now btw

 

[DeadlyVenom]

194/7

This is too big a score for Bangladesh imo

 

[jnaveen1980]

Are the pitches used pitchces. Pitch is behaving like 4th day test pitch

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Kundu moved through the gears nicely btw. He has held the innings together.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This looks like a substandard ground and pitch. Lot of bare patches.

 

[BouncerGuy]

AGAIN

 

[jnaveen1980]

I know under-19 is a low key affair in comparison. But there is hardly any people on the ground watching it.

 

[Vikram1989]

Terrible rough pitches on the ground. Any accident can be a career threatening for any young aspirants.Icc should maintain minimum standards for a game to conduct.

 

[Devadwal]

India U-19 207/7 (43) .

Can we play full 49 overs ?

 

[Vikram1989]

I know under-19 is a low key affair in comparison. But there is hardly any people on the ground watching it.

Not sure if they are free passes or not . Abysmal crowd.atleast kids must have been allowed .

Not sure why zimbabwe gets to host these events. Whole ground looks ugly.

 

[Devadwal]

44th over and they are playing maiden over?

 

[Human786]

211/8 - 4 overs to go , Kundu still around !

 

[DeadlyVenom]

211/8 - 4 overs to go , Kundu still around !

He has played a blinder

 

[Hellion]

This is officially 16 year old Henil Patel. Maybe fudged but don't think it's 7 years of fudging, lol. Maybe 2 years

 

[Human786]

224/9

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kundu is short in stature like Pant.

 

[Human786]

224/9

Kundu gone ... 2 overs left .

 

[Human786]

13 runs in 48th over ... 237/9

 

[Human786]

Target 239 .... defendable boyzzz ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

no.11 batsman playing helicopter shot. Almost pulled it off. got out. Not sure what the par score here is. But looked a bit two pace pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Target 239 .... defendable boyzzz ?

India's bowling is their weakness. So not 100% sure.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good bowling by bangla boys and spirited fielding....Fahad looks like a real good prospect.

Atthe innings break....with our pop gun bowling attack...i would give it 75/25 to bangla...

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need 239 to win.

 

[Devadwal]

One age fudger gone.

 

[Hellion]

Generational talent Zawad Abrar gone.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 6/1 (0.4 over; target: 239).

Wicket in the first over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Henil patel is a proper trundler

 

[Human786]

Which 2 batsmen are main threats ? 13/1 in 2

 

[sweep_shot]

This is a slow pitch. Need to take it deep.

BD - 13/1 (2 overs; target: 239).

226 to win from 48 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Usually i watch to see exciting fast bowlers. If there are no potentials then it gets super boring. Will check the scorecard later.

 

[Human786]

Deepesh leaking runs ... 21/1 in 3

 

[DeadlyVenom]

If put it 75 to India

India's decline has started (even if they win this).

India's hubris is finally starting to crack.

The truth is current Indian youngsters aren't as good as previous generations (Kohli, Rohit etc.).

 

[sweep_shot]

Attacking start from BD.

BD - 30/1 (4 overs; target: 239).

209 to win from 46 overs.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Did they shake hands?

 

[sweep_shot]

Did they shake hands?

I believe they didn't.

 

[sweep_shot]

The truth is current Indian youngsters aren't as good as previous generations (Kohli, Rohit etc.).

Kohli's generation of players believed in hardwork. Kohli, Rohit, Pujara etc. were promising players even during their younger days.

This generation seems all about attitude and less about hardwork. I blame T20

 

[Human786]

excellent start ... 42/1 in 7 .

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 44/1 (8 overs; target: 239).

195 to win from 42 overs.

Good start for BD.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

but but but saaar...you gave the reason for Rohit breaking the record in ODI's for most 6's as india having small grounds - Wow

- another glittering diamond in the long list of 'doosron ke saazish' narrative on PP...
.... and if you blame T20- Rohit still has the record for most 6's in T20 internationals...

 

[Human786]

Can't see IU19 defending this ...54/1 in 10

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 54/1 (10 overs; target: 239).

185 to win from 40 overs.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pitch seems to have eased a bit? Or Indian bowlers not as good as Bangladesh?

 

[sweep_shot]

Pitch is the same.

Modern day Indian youngsters are average.

 

[khyberlion]

who are they? India checks them. Everyone knows career is practically over if they get caught.

Based on looks from the Asia cup there were quite a few. I guess that doesn't apply to Indian's.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD lose their 2nd wicket.

BD - 62/2 (11.5 overs).

 

[Rajdeep]

Our U-19 team is very bad this season. Looks overall a very bad lot.

Touch surprising for a team like India.

@jnaveen1980

 

[sweep_shot]

Getting very cloudy. Hopefully rain will stay away.

8 more overs to avoid a washout.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Match won't be easy. Bangladesh kids need someone to stick in and drop anchor against these Indian uncles, so others can play around him
