ICC Under-19 World Cup Final | West Indies beat India by 5 wickets

I told you before if WI bowl first they will be favourites to win. Early morning conditions.

Bangladesh had a better start.

But this is a common scenario for India. Openers fail and middle order comes to rescue.
 
Just noticed Sundar's score. He is 6 off 35 balls.

He is more on the molds of M Vijay and Rahul dravid in terms of his batting approach than Yuvi.

Agree on Rambo (Yes, I like listening to Rambo over Harsha) but Bazid's commentary is very monotonous. To me, it sounds like of a person who is always in a hurry (too many long sentences without giving gaps for words).

Has a boring voice, but I said U19 because it's all about analyzing the young talent and telling the viewers who has potential etc etc, and that's his strong point.

For ICC tournaments best commentary team for me would be Ramiz - Alan Wilkins and Mark Nicholas or Gavaskar. Very entertaining all of em, yet classy.

Totally agree. For all the hate some of these commies get from many cricket fans, likes of Mark, Rambo infuses loads of energy into the commbox.

Sarfraz survives a close call?
 
Who prepares this kind of pitch in a world cup final? And that too in an U19 level. Pathetic :facepalm:

This sundar guy is on another level of tuk-tuk today, Sarfraz may just snap here, he's going super slow himself.

That's ok should give a wake up call to the superstars 1 of them already in the pavilion the way he got out.
 
West Indies' players will always have edge over rest of their teams due to their superior genetics. Indian players at every level is bread to be mentally stronger than every other team. I still think India will win this match. They will find a way too.

Has some classic one-liners. From subcontinent I like him and Gavaskar, both have their unique one liners like that bakery one lmao.



I don't like him. Tries too hard to look cool in front of the other commies :sanga

Manjrekar is good at times as well. But he competes very will with the Channel 9 team when it comes to bias commentary.

Stop whining brother, there is nothing wrong with preparing a bowler's friendly pitch. Its a miracle having a pace friendly pitch in cricket now a days.

How is the pitch bad? If your batsman cannot play in such a pitch then how can you play on sporty wickets.

Tbh Indian openers have been poor throughout the tournament but middle order has been exceptional

Rishabh Pant got 57, 78 and 111 over 6 matches (including this match). How is that bad? Ishan Kishan also got 138 and Rishabh Pant got 62 in the warm up match against Canada.

My bad I thought pant was at 3.

But I still feel that India top order hasn't been that great.

But then again look at Bangladesh or even Pakistan. Both teams were led in front by the middle order

No whinning. Unlike few paranoid fans we dnt take loses by heart. We are extremely confident of our team and our future of cricket. Process is important.

BTW there is nothing called as bowling friendly pitch. Bowlers get help from conditions. Not sure how much you know cricket but pitches are supposed to be made of soil. Any pitch with grass in it is callled underprepared technically as it reduces the friction of cricket ball. Now in 5 day test match they leave grass so that it binds the soil for 5 days. No reason why would curator leave so much grass in an ODI game that too in a world cup final.

Anyway thats the technical bit of it. I know all other nations supporting WI today as you yourself said. And we have no regrets as we used to being hated. I put my neck out and say we batted poorly. So yah..no whinning at all. Enjoy the game brother :)

This is the only time we have failed as a batting unit in last 16 matches. I wouldn't mind this. I would be happy with Indian team's performance and future irrespective of the result.

Still I think we can win if we get to just 200.
 
The most any team has scored against India this world cup is 189. On this pitch 150 is a good enough score.
 
BAS bat used by Lomror- "beat all sports bat" ah missing my younger years :P
 
Joseph in now good decision attack the team one more wicket and that's it.

Yes its seems against Bangladesh he didn't even finish his quota.

200 is still a good score but west Indies just neutralizes everything with their aggressive approach on top. Get pope early. If pope bats for 5-6 Overs then India have no hope of winning.
 
Today Sarfaraz cant throw his wicket away after getting 50. he needs to be there till the end
 
WI spinners are pretty average TBH, If these two show some patience they can thrive on 5th bowler's quota

Yup have seen Pope cause damage and tbh both teams playing to their strengths(batting first and bowling first) sadly India doesn't have a good score on board and Windies have already won half the match.

That is your opinion brother.

Procedures are changed all the time to balance the game. There is nothing wrong with adjusting preparations to balance the game. There is no point of talking about "supposed to be". Might as well go back to unlimited # of days for Test matches.
 
can't support this indian team, they are just too arrogant,especially pant.
 
We were also 50/5 against same attack, but our keeper bailed us out. Let's see what Indian keeper can do :)

Come on Joseph! Break this partnership yaar.

Indian keeper is the opener already out bro also imo the pitch is more greener and Windies have a plan for each batsman but maybe i'm just trying to find an excuse :P

Didn't expect such a statement from you tbh :) Don't get over emotional bro, at U19 level you should not care about results, only thing matters these young guns, who can become part of national team after some years. U19 level is always about producing new talent.

And the reason for supporting WI today is as i think i have seen first time such a talented bunch of kids at 19 level, India, BD, Pakistan, England, Australia e.t.c they have a good cricket system as compared to WI, but from no where WI produced excellent players for the first time (according to my opinion) and they have impressed many people here.
