Some very good comments by Carty "We want to take Windies to where it was"

Hassan won player of the tournament.
 
This Carty lad blaming the flight duration for losing 3 - 0 to Bangladesh.

Of course they really are good players and all the effort the players put, they deserve to win this WC. But still I think this Indian side was ahead of WI in terms of quality. (And also BD was the second best team)

But end of the day what matters is It is WI who won the 2016 U19 WC.

The Indian side is slighlty overrated imo , most of the sides where quite mediocre in comparison to previous tournaments . WI tough has 3-4 players in their side who can make the national side & potentially world class . Cant say the same about Ind or Ban who actually had a huge advantage cos of pitches .
 
Thanks Windies for making Valentine day special.. Though fell a bit sad for Dravid

Outstanding game of cricket. WI were better today. But proud of the way our boys fought it till the last over. Maza aa gaya :)
 
Almost all BD crowd were supporting West Indies. (Including me :) )
We will always suppurt the one who are against India.

CONGRATS to West Indies not only for becoming the new U19 champs but also for beating the Indian team.

Congrats WI, Hope this will be the beginning of their redemption........... Hope some of these kids go on to have success with the National side..
 
WI jeet gaya? I missed the last few overs (:

I think, WI should draft half of this side to their National team immediately. At least these boys have passion for the game & they won't lose as bad as the senior side in recent Australia tour. Best wishes for them.

I think, IND had a bad day & they were caught off guard. Only 2 teams could beat IND in this WC - PAK & WI; they faced their nemesis today. Though it's extremely strong Indian side, but I don't think any of the boys 'll make it in Indian color, may be Sarfraz.

U19 WC is much more exciting than it sounds - it should be an annual event. Also, I don't think the format is right - instead of this QF>SF>F, there should be more matches in super league. All 8 teams moving to super league should play each other, may be with the 1st round result carried forward, that's 6 matches each.
 
Time for celebration and thanks WI for bringing Indian U-19s back to earth. Indian U-19 is way overrated and they should feel lucky that Pak and BD had to face WI before and they did not.

Sarfaraz surely will play . Hes the MSD replacemet for us .

Anmolpreet Singh , is a Test prospect imo . Otherwise , may be Avesh Khan . The rest are pretty average at this point and will need massive improvements .

No i think it is a fair result.

WI have slightly more talent in this batch than any other team in this Tourney
 
WI were the deserved champions ..well done to them.
Proud of the our team as well didn't gave up as easy as Bangladeshis and Pakistani team.

Despite being better team then all the other teams except WI, I can't see anyone of them in the future playing for India. Sarfaraz may be...

ApS is technically very good, should start opening as there 'll be some space to fill in 2/3 years time. If he keeps batting at 3/4, Virat & Rahne are in their mid 20s, it'll be tough while he shouldn't bat below 4. In fact I think Pujara 'll go back to No. 3 & Rohit 'll be preferred at 6. Only spot i n 2/3 years time is Dhawan or Bijay's spot.

Avesh I am not impressed actually. I feel he is not genuine U19, therefore chances of increasing pace is low while he is not a genuine swing bowler; might fade away.

Sarfaraz & Pant look promising for LOIs while the 17 yr olds Jaffer & Anmolpreet seem more suited to the longer format. Then Dagar and Avesh were good in parts as well.

But the most promising player for me was the 16 yr old leggie Zeeshan Ansari. Although he was replaced by the more experienced Dagar in the knockout stages; the turn, guile & accuracy he exhibited was really remarkable for a leg spinner at his age.
 
Lol at BD... their dream of winning anything of significance might never come true ever.

Pathetic team ..Pathetic cricket...Pathetic fans

I dont see Rohit lasting so long in the Test team , if he does we are screwd big time . Anmolpreet still has good 4-5 years to make it to the team .

Pant just as a pure batsmen will find it very difficult to break in , he does not look like a natural keeper .

Havent seen Zeeshan , but Dagar wasnt that great tbh . The pitch helped his cause today otherwise , just another left armer who cannot bat . He will have it tough .

KL Rahul will take up the opening spot in Tests.
 
Sundar,Dagar can be a good prospect for us in tests other than Sarfaraz who will never make it to LOI because of his shabby running he starts panting after 40 runs.
Lomror has the ability but needs to build more muscle to come for the middle order.Lets see.

Hopefully Windies get Joseph,Springer,Hetmyer into their team ,Heytmer was very good throughout the tournament except today.
 
AnmolPreet will not make it to tests, in all his runs scored didn't see him score big on offside but hopefully improves and proves me wrong.
 
Caught the last 5 overs of the match. Looks like even our kids can't play on seaming wickets lol. What a match to lose your unbeaten streak. Tbh I always had the feeling that this Indian batting isn't all that good as it is hyped to be. The best player is Sarfaraz and even he has issues to his batting. It was the bowling I was more impressed with and looks like they made a match out of it. Well played Dagar.

But fair play to the west indies. I don't think the Indian team could've beaten this WI team on this same pitch in a rematch if it batted first again. Alzari Jospeh looks like an international bowler already. Holder has been mighty impressive too. I think their batting has some issues and vulnerable, but it is their bowling which has singlehandedly won them the world cup. They took a lot of stick for the Mankad incident, rather unfairly imo. It is unfair to brand little kids as "classless", etc. as many in the world cricket did after the incident. Turned out it was in their destiny to win the world cup.

The only downside is to see Dravid end up on the losing side again. He couldn't win a WC as a player and I hoped that he could win a WC as a coach, but it didn't turn out to be the case unfortunately.

He has lost 8 kg in the last one year, also scored a big hundred for UP in Ranji. So, don't think that would be much of an issue going forward if he keeps working on his fitness regularly.

True but even 3-4 of them have learnt something from Dravid its more than winning a U-19 WC.

Tbh I was very much disappointed with the attitude of Pant. I think that there should be a age cap for IPL auctions. Giving so much money to kids at such young age will end up spoiling their careers.

I'm assuming that as well but you know players need to have the will to perform for the country. Kohli got $ 30K early on as well from IPL but he has made his way up irrespective of it.

Kohli is a player who feeds on his drive to succeed. Even if he bags a hell a lot of money and goes to parties, he'll still be working his a** off in training sessions because he has an extraordinary work ethic. There are only a handful of such young players in world cricket atm. It is unreasonable to expect every young player to have the same attitude as a Kohli or a Joe Root or Smith. Even the promising youngsters will lose their way if they're tempted with too much money and fame at teenage. There are countless examples of such players in football and cricket is no different either. I think there should definitely be an age cap for getting an IPL contract.

Not everyone can become kohli. He is another once in a lifetime cricketer for india. Lots of young kids will try to imitate him and his aggression. Kohli has set his goals high. He wants to be among the best batsman in the world. You will find lots of kids who will be happy to play and watch just IPL only. Lets see what pant does in the next couple of years. Ishan should have just taken the gloves from pant and done the keeping himself.

There are many Rainas and no Khohli in this Indian under 19 team. A little bit of pace they could not handle. total.

As true cricket lover, I'm very excited to see WI emerging in the old way. Tall fast bowlers in abundance.
 
West Indies wins maiden ICC U19 Cricket World Cup

· Rahul Dravid: “This is the start of a journey for them and every experience is a learning curve”

· Carty named player of the final; Bangladesh’s Mehidy adjudged player of the tournament

· Namibia qualifies for 2018 tournament as highest-placed Associate Member

West Indies rode on its fast-bowling arsenal to win the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup for the first time with a tense five-wicket victory over three-time winner India in the final in Mirpur on Sunday.

The pace trio of Alzarri Joseph, Ryan John and Chemar Holder shone on a spicy, moisture-laden pitch to demolish India’s fancied batting line-up for 145 after electing to field.

Sarfaraz Khan played a lone hand for the Rahul Dravid-coached Indian team with 51, his fifth half-century in six matches, as Joseph and John picked up three wickets each and Keemo Paul two.

West Indies slipped to 77 for five in reply against the steady India attack before Keacy Carty (52 not out) and Paul (40 not out) put on 69 for the unfinished sixth wicket to steer their team home with three deliveries to spare.

It was the first major title for the West Indies at any level since Darren Sammy’s senior team won the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in 2012.

Skipper Shimron Hetmyer’s boys won the tournament after defeating three sub-continent teams – Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India – in the knockout rounds.

“We were not supposed to be the champions, but we did it,” he said. “I feel good, words can’t explain how good I feel. The way the guys played showed how much we wanted to win the tournament.

“The pace bowlers used the pitch to their advantage and helped each other to keep the pressure on the Indians. Coming from the Caribbean, we did not expect such pitches in Bangladesh.

“I am delighted for both Carty and Paul. They are aggressive players but they adjusted to the situation and kept a calm head.”

It was only the second defeat for India in the last 22 matches, ending an unbeaten run in the tournament.

“I feel sad today because we wanted to win badly,” said India captain Ishan Kishan. “It was not easy to bat out there in the morning because their fast bowlers really used the conditions well.

“We needed partnerships which did not happen. I thought our bowlers did well but our fielding let us down, including some dropped catches. We certainly should have fielded better.”

Dravid complimented the West Indies and said the defeat will serve as a good lesson for his young wards.

“I am disappointed for them. It is tough for these young kids to lose a final,” the batting great said. “But hopefully this is the start of a journey for them and every experience is a learning curve.

“We have tasted a lot of success with this team. Unfortunately, the only loss for them was the biggest game they have played.

“Hopefully they can go on to become better people, better cricketers. That is the real purpose of this tournament.”

Asked the reason for the West Indies success, Dravid said: “You have to give credit where it is due. I thought they bowled really at good lengths and good lines.

“They maintained pressure right through the innings. At no stage did we feel they were giving us easy balls to hit.

“But I am proud of the way our team came back and tried to defend the total till the last over. Sitting outside that really made me very proud.”

The next edition of the tournament will be held in 2018 in New Zealand with seventh-placed Namibia, the highest-ranked Associate member, qualifying directly along with the 10 Test playing sides.

The remaining five qualifiers in the 16-nation tournament will be determined through regional qualifying competitions.

Joseph ripped through the top-order in sensational fashion in the morning with the wickets of in-form opener Rishabh Pant, Anmolpreet Singh and Kishan in his first four overs.

From 27 for three, India slipped to 50 for five in the 18th over as Washington Sundar and Armaan Jaffer were caught off mistimed drives.

Hetymer bowled out Joseph’s ten overs by the 27th, at which stage India had managed just 84 runs for the loss of five wickets.

Holder, on the other hand, kept one end tight, conceding just 15 runs in his opening spell of eight overs.
When Holder returned for his second stint in the 30th over, he struck with the first delivery to break a 37-run partnership for the sixth wicket between Sarfaraz and Mahipal Lomror (19).

Sarfaraz was eighth out at the total of 120 in the 39th over when he missed an attempted pull off John and was leg-before wicket.
India was down to 123 for nine before Rahul Batham and Khaleel Ahmed added 22 valuable runs for the last wicket.

West Indies also began its reply badly, losing openers Gidron Pope and Tevin Imlach by the eighth over with the score at 28.

Carty and Hetmyer carried the total to 67 for two when left-arm spinner Mayank Dagar turned the game around with three wickets for the addition of just 10 runs.

But, Carty and Paul curbed their natural aggressive instincts to calmly turn the final their team’s way again.

India was left to rue two dropped catches, the first by Sarfaraz when Paul was on 10 and the other by wicketkeeper Pant off Carty when the batsman was on 35. Dagar was the unlucky bowler on both occasions.

Bangladesh captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz was named player of the tournament. Mehedi, captaining Bangladesh in the second successive ICC U19 Cricket World Cup, scored 242 runs in five innings, including four half-centuries. He also took 12 wickets with the ball.

Congrats to the WI, didn't expect an Indian collapse. Probably shouldn't have batted first against WI on these conditions like BD did

Windies won the toss mate.
 
Beautiful stuff of dreams. This is the best tournament result since we won the T20 WC in 09. I love West Indies cricket and to see them win this WC means a lot to me. It shows that there is still some hope for West Indies cricket. They just need a more competent board and they would move up the rankings again.
