[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Ugly scenes at end of the Under 19 World Cup final between India and Bangladesh

[MenInG]

It seems like the Bangladesh players were in the faces of the opposition at the end and some of the Indian lads didn't like it at all.

Both sets of players to blame, but the flag incident looked bad.

 

[Abdul]

Bangladeshis deserve this.

 

[MenInG]

“It’s a dream come true,” said Bangladesh captain Akbar Ali, however, he regretted the unwanted aggression from his players after his team won the ICC U-19 World Cup here on Sunday.

The Bangladesh players were overtly aggressive while fielding with their lead pacer Shoriful Islam sledging the Indian batsmen after every delivery.

In fact as Bangladesh were approaching the target, Shoriful was seen swearing multiple times looking into the camera.

“Some of our bowlers were emotional and were pumped up. What happened after the game was unfortunate. I would like to congratulate India,” skipper Akbar said.

As soon as the match ended, it became a bit tensed with Bangladeshi players rushing to the ground, with few still displaying aggressive body language.

In fact, one India player rushed to confront a Bangladesh player and that is when coach Paras Mhambrey was seen calming his boys.

“It’s a dream come true. It’s all about the hard work we have done over the last two years. The coaching staff...I just cannot thank them enough for how much support they have given us on and off the field. We’ve had a very good experience, and this is just the beginning for us. Hopefully, this will be the stepping stone for us,” said the skipper, who was also adjudged Player-of-the-Final for his composed unbeaten 43.

He then thanked the Bangladeshi supporters in his mother tongue.

“Those who have supported us here have been our 12th man here. We really appreciate it.”

India skipper Priyam Garg acknowledged it was a poor day with the bat and they would have needed a total of 210-220 to make a match of it.

“It’s a bad day, but our boys fought really well. Even with such a low total, we made it difficult for them, and I would like to thank my team for that.

“The biggest factor was the toss, because the wicket was a bit damp. We had a good start, and we should have got to at least 210-220. That would have been a much better score.”

While the bowlers bowled more than 20 plus wides and no-balls, Priyam doesn’t think it could have been much different.

“I don’t think we could have done much different. For 178, we responded really well, and we lost this because we didn’t bat well enough. That’s about it. We enjoyed the World Cup.”

[MenInG]

And the Bangladesh point of view....


===

The bowlers were sending them down at pace, beating the bat and running up to the batsman. A glare followed by some choice words. The batsmen could only look back. This sequence was repeated multiple times and it may have surprised some viewers that the bowlers were Bangladeshi and the batsmen Indian.

Such was the controlled aggression displayed by Bangladesh Under-19 pace duo Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Sakib at the start of the ICC Under-19 World Cup final in Potchefstroom yesterday. It was in stark contrast to most India-Bangladesh contests seen before, and that intensity set the stage for a true reversal of the trend of close defeats against India, culminating in the young Tigers winning the country its first World Cup at any level. The aggression led to Divyaansh Saxena falling for just two in the seventh over off the bowling of first-change bowler Avishek Das. India held back and bided their time with Yashashvi Jaisawal and Tilak Varma starring in a patient 94-run partnership for the second wicket.

Sakib then brought along the dismissal that the young Tigers were craving for when he dismissed Varma for 38 and Rakibul Hasan then provided another breakthrough when Priyam Garg chipped one straight to the fielder at mid-off. The early pressure had paid off and Shoriful came back for a later spell. In the 40th over, Shoriful brought out a tame pull shot from Jaiswal – the highest scorer of the event – for 88 with Tanzid taking an easy catch at mid-off. Shoriful put his finger on his lips to shush the India batsman. Next ball, a razor-sharp delivery with a hint of reverse swing, then rapped left-hander Siddesh Veer on the pads, trapping him leg-before. India went from 156 for three to 177 all out.

Bangladesh started their chase with a fifty-run partnership between openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon before the former departed to leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. The leggie was the one who would go on to do the bulk of the damage for India U-19s as he left Bangladesh middle-order distraught with four wickets in quick succession.

Sushant Mishra then bagged two and Bangladesh were in disarray as Emon, who had gone off the field due to a hamstring injury, returned to partner captain Akbar Ali. The duo added 42 vital runs to the Bangladesh cause before Emon, struggling to run with an injury, departed for 47 to Jaisawal.

Akbar’s cool head however survived the pressure situation as the skipper, along with Rakibul, took Bangladesh close to the target inch by inch. Rain forced players of with 15 needed off 54 balls. DLS’s par score came into the equation after a short break and a revised target of seven from 30 was set. Rakibul hit Mishra for four in the 41st over before he hit the winning single off Antolekar in the next over to take Tigers to what will be a forever-cherished victory.

[Savak]

Yes they way Ganguly acted at Lord’s after Natwest 2002 final, and the way he whined when Yousuf wanted to drink water in scorching heat in an ODI in 2005 was much better than what Kohli does.

Just a few examples.

Lol, what Ganguly did at Lords was a reaction to Flintoff's shirtless celebrations in India a year earlier after England won the final ODI match and the series in 2001

 

[Mueez]

Weird behavior by both teams.

Sportmanspirit should be learned at this stage.

We have seen some unusual cases during the tournament such as the “mankad incident” and today’s rift between India and Bangladesh.

At the end it is just a sport and the best team wins.

 

[Savak]

TO be honest

Bangladesh knew they never had a chance. Hence when they came out to bowl, the strategy was to rile up the Indian team. One of the bengali bwoelrs early on threw the ball back at Saxena. Saxena was visibly angry, and soon he threw his wicket away. Bangaldesh knew that to get under the skin of the indian team they had to do this.
Team india was strong. They should had won this, but Bangaldesh outplayed them with their mind games. They kept on sledging.

See India had a great batting line up and great bowling line up, problem was they are u19 kids. Being u19 means you can easily get agnry and not control it. Banglaesh took advantage of that. But jaswal was mature. Everytime the Bengali player sledge he laughed and look at what he scored.

When the innings changed, the Indian players also tried it, but the difference between both the teams was Akbar Ali. Akbar ali quietly batted out.

At the end, when Bangladesh won, there was no need to misbehave. Infact they should had shook hands and that was it. I would assume it was the bengali fans who first attack the indina players during the end of the match.
Bangaldesh had already won the game, and that was enough insult to give India, no need to attack them. Indian players were already upseet and they retaliate and made themselves look like fools.

I think its a good lesson to the Indian players than sometimes even the strongest teams can succumb under the pressure of the occasion against a weak team. Bangladesh played like they had nothing to lose and there was no pressure or weight of expectations on them anyways which helped them massively today

 

[Savak]

It reminds me of the Spain vs Netherlands Football World Cup Final in 2010. Spain were the favorites to win while Netherlands were the underdogs, what the Netherlands team did was just play with a pure aggressive, nothing to lose attitude and there were loads of yellow cards, a red card in the game and their tactics badly unsettled a superior Spanish side, had it not been for a bad decision by the referree that game could have gone down to penalties.

 

[ManFan]

Fantastic.

Shows the U-19 have some fire in their belly.

 

[MenInG]

Seems a lot of needle - Tanzim Hasan Sakib nearly hit Divyansh Saxena

 

[globalcitizen]

the first video is so evident who instigated this. The Bangladesh player ran straight to indian fielders jumped in front of them not to congratulate them. But these are kids and should be let off this time owing to occasion...

Don’t think we need expert analysis.. sporting events around world experience this sort of highs and lows. This is happening from hundreds of years and will continue to happen in future .. LoL

 

[MMHS]

Relax guys, these are kids - don’t know how act politically correct when emotionally charged up. BD-IND has played some real nail biter KO games in last two years & our boys were at the receiving end, today they came with a plan & mindset that they won’t leave Indian kids with upper hand, and eventually won a tight game - Indian kids were almost champion elected before tournament, probably didn’t expect that BD boys will come back so hard (both ways) - it got a bit salty.

As long as team management isn’t involved, don’t think we should look much into it. I do believe these two are best U19 teams in contemporary world by some margin & there are lots of personal duels there - its expected to be a bit heated.

Well I am not going to talk big and I have given credit to BD in every thread but these two teams are not much better than Pakistan, maybe India is but certainly not BD. The toss decided the match today. The toss decided the semi-final between Pakistan and India as well. And remember BD was 106/9 against Pakistan before the match got washed out. And that probably gave both teams different route to the finals.

Tbh the Bengalis have learnt the art of fighting fire with fire. They had no chance against this India side being nice gentleman like Pakistan usually are, Indians are too strong for nice people. You really have to get right in their face but without crossing limits of course.

Pumped Bengali fast bowlers in a big game. This is passion!

Pakistan won the toss in semi final.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan won the toss in semi final.

Yes my bad, but the point was they batted first. (It’s another thing they took the negative approach)

 

[Monsee]

Lol indians just can’t take it and believe it

I watched a few overs towards the middle of BD innings and with every catch/wicket, starting with Tayagi and Bisnoi, Indian players (3-5 of them) were openly doing maan behan stuff; Tayagi actually did it to the fans behind him after he took a catch!

I posted in the commentary thread at that time: http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/s...020-ICC-U19-World-Cup&p=10649647#post10649647

From what I saw, Indians were losing it (at the time I watched) and were being openly arrogant, swearing, running towards the umpires (when their appeals were not accepted) etc. I knew this would spiral in to something bigger since in past, BD fans (and some players too) have behaved quite poorly at the end of a match (whether they won or lost)!

Really cringe worthy especially stepping on a flag, shoving/pushing each others etc.

 

[asadee]

Both teams should be disqualified and not allowed to partake in the next tournament

 

[nextover666666]

Typical Indians cant except defeat Bengali players were just enjoying their well deserve win . Ravi Bishnoi is a good bowler but has an ugly attitude should have seen his face when they lost hahahaha

These two teams are not only ahead, miles ahead of PAK U19 team - and that’s I am telling after 106/9 - we were fortunate that rain didn’t allow us to enjoy PAK batting talent that day on such conditions. The gap between IND-PAK was evident in the game completed. In last two years these two teams (IND-BD) has played 6 games with similar squad - 4/2 in favour of IND, but the results are like by India - 2 runs, 5 runs, 4 wickets & ~25 runs; by BD today & by 4 wickets in UK.

I don’t want to brag it, but take a second look at the batting technique, pace & particularly spin bowling quality, fielding & fitness, intelligence & maturity of three sides, you should understand that the 10 wicket drubbing was a normal reflection, not 106/9.

Anyway, I read lot about Haider Ali here - watched his batting for few overs and figured out a Tape-Tennis product, which was confirmed by someone know him from few years back ..... and he is hyped to be the next pillar of PAK batting - good luck for that.

 

[majiz]

India weren't that good this year. I thought before it started Afghanistan or Bangladesh would win. Bangladesh in particular looked the most organised and mature line-up despite their collapse against Pakistan.
Bangladesh have had strong youth sides for a while though but they are yet to translate this into actual quality, and people are getting frustrated with them(quite rightly I reckon) I hope this world cup win ignites something and the next lot that come through are actually good. You feel it's going that way. But they cant produce a quality spinner (unforgivable) let alone a quality quick it seems

Calm down, geez, you are making it sound like Pakistan was the lowest performing team in the tournament...conditions or not, your team looked like a 5th grade one against us as well, whether Pakistan batting would have chased down the score is anyone's guess!

Enjoy the success, it is not as if it has come all the time for your team

Look, I know it's easy to get carried away when stating a counter narrative here (considering the extreme positions on PP), but you really don't need to get riled up. I remember you said something similarly condescending after Pakistan lost to Bangladesh in the Asia Cup in 2018, but look how that eventually turned out.

Most are genuinely happy that Bangladesh won, but this chest thumping from your side at times and even the Pakistani side at other times, is really uncalled for. It's never wise to undermine or underestimate an opponent.

There are various factors why Pakistan disappointed in the SF, from selection of the initial squad to indifferent captaincy. But, it's a futile discussion to indulge into now.

Also, are you referring to the same Haider Ali who Ian Bishop declared as one of the top 3 players (top 2 batsmen) of this World Cup, after just witnssing him score 20 odd runs before he got run out in the QF?

The tape tennis product impressed pretty much every commentator even though he failed in this world cup. The must see something in his tape ball technique. Let's also not forget Ian Bishop included him as a potential future star.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Having 1.5 billion population, the most money in the cricket world and still competing against NZ or Bangladesh u19's. That surely isn't easy to take. You question yourself and try to think why aren't you able to dominate. Probably, lack of talent?

populations means nothing. income per capita is still no where near Aussies and English people. Infrastructure only got better recently. Sporting facilities are still behind. Cricket is an elitist sport. The training methods, recovery programs, diet, nutriton all play a factor. Income is more important that you think.

India are number 1 in tests and doing just fine in odi and t20. They are probably top 2 in the latter as well.

China has an even bigger population. why can't they dominate team sports? It's because they don't have the medical advancement in use of ped drugs to compete with America yet. Not to mention their income per capita is far lower.

 

[Savak]

Bangladesh's performances against India clearly shows the pscyhological edge the Indians have over the Pakistani team, the Pakistani players both senior and juniors are just so much in awe of their Indian counterparts that they just give up before they go to the field. In stark contrast the Bangladeshi players have no such mental baggage and are able to treat it as a simple game of cricket and go with the flow, relaxing and enjoying the game and therefore they end up putting a proper fight.

Similarly Pakistan will benefit massively when they treat the opposition as if they are not playing against India

 

[Danyaalr01]

Indian players being cry babies again. Classic.

 

[NoBallZombie]

I say get these Bangladeshi players into the senior team asap! They have graduated with distinction !

Oh but we are light years behind India...


Sick of reading this same line. I totally agree with you bro. Pakistan would regularly thump teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh who have no issues whatsoever in putting up a decent match if not winning some against India. But Pakistan cannot seem to hold their bats without shivering in their boots at the idea of facing India.

Pakistan made light work of New Zealand and England at the grandest stage of them all this year, both those teams pumped India in the same tournament...”yet we are light years behind India.”

This is so true. Our players forget to express themselves when they lose the match in their heads even before they step on the cricket field. It is a mental block that they have now and probably most of it has to do with the "super star" status that the Indian team possesses. Pakistanis are used to aggression and they should still express themselves fully (within boundaries of course).

[PakLFC]

Nothing wrong with it when you are on a high. I did not see anything that upsetting or untoward at all. Simple, the Indian U 19 team were jealous having lost the final. The couldn't cope seeing Bangla defeat their side. Now Modi will want to send even more Muslim's back to Bangladesh

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Bit of both, the over celebration from Bangladesh which I reckon is understandable because they haven't won much in history.
And 2nd thing Indians couldn't digest the loss to Bangladesh.

People are overreacting.If this was India and Kohli doing,they would have praising the aggression and jazba. Just because it's India on recieving end it's shameful.

 

[pillionrider]

Everything in between the bat vs ball moments was fine between the two teams. Whenever a BD player got hit, there'd Indians around showing concern. An Indian batsman requested help with tying his lace and the BD fielder even adjusted his pad for him afterwards.

Not sure about the history between the two sides and if India have rubbed it in when they've won in the past. But those few players leading the charge here and yelling and taunting a team that has just lost a World Cup isn't a great idea.

Agreed.

Game was intense and both sides sledged hard. But, they never crossed the line during the game.

These incidents happened after the game. That taunting was really unnecessary.

Anyway. Time to move on. These are kids.

 

[Monsee]

^^^Yep, always anyone but Indians at fault, the way your players were throwing Maan Behan curses, it was as if they owned the BD players and they expected them to fall and die, wheile letting India win!

Just amazing that in all my years, I am yet to see any Indian person, giving full blame to an Indian entity!

Both sides were aggressive with ball in hand.

Unlike you, the Bangladeshi captain played in, and watched both halves of the game and had this to say:

“Some of our bowlers were emotional and were pumped up. What happened after the game was unfortunate. I would like to congratulate India,” skipper Akbar said.

 

[Romali_rotti]

No big deal bunch of kids having a little fun.but the Indian kids seemed a little aggressive with the flag and pushing that Bangladeshi kid..

 

[LongHorn]

It reminds me of the Spain vs Netherlands Football World Cup Final in 2010. Spain were the favorites to win while Netherlands were the underdogs, what the Netherlands team did was just play with a pure aggressive, nothing to lose attitude and there were loads of yellow cards, a red card in the game and their tactics badly unsettled a superior Spanish side, had it not been for a bad decision by the referree that game could have gone down to penalties.

I always found it sad and ironic that the far superior Dutch side of the late 90s/early noughties could not reach a world cup final, yet the far less talented Dutch side of 2010 was so close to winning a world cup.

That tall B'deshi bowler, Shariful or something, wtv his name was - He was saying over and over again the B word after they won. The camera was literally on his face and he was shouting that lol. Like bro, you ain't that young. You should have some common sense.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Icc will fine some of the Bangladeshi and Indian players for sure. While BD players would be guilty of excessive body language, swearing and sledging on the other hand Indian players are guilty of much serious things like shoving, stepping on flag etc.

Haha love it. What a bunch of sooks. Typical sore loser team india mentality. Like 90 percent of the indian posters here. 91 if you include cheerleader number one mamoon. But mamoon right. These boys ready for the big stage. So called dominate the tournament. Cricindia ups their coverage and they choke when it matters. Get them in the team, they ready.

 

[andy0204]

Sorry to say,we might see Afghanis doing like this kind of things in future.
We saw that first instance against Pakistan in Wc.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan won the toss in semi final.

Yeah but Pakistan is the best Under 19 team and they deserved to win this tournament, Bangladesh got lucky. If whatever the kid's name is played Pakistan should have won.

 

[IAJ]

These two teams are not only ahead, miles ahead of PAK U19 team - and that’s I am telling after 106/9 - we were fortunate that rain didn’t allow us to enjoy PAK batting talent that day on such conditions. The gap between IND-PAK was evident in the game completed. In last two years these two teams (IND-BD) has played 6 games with similar squad - 4/2 in favour of IND, but the results are like by India - 2 runs, 5 runs, 4 wickets & ~25 runs; by BD today & by 4 wickets in UK.

I don’t want to brag it, but take a second look at the batting technique, pace & particularly spin bowling quality, fielding & fitness, intelligence & maturity of three sides, you should understand that the 10 wicket drubbing was a normal reflection, not 106/9.

Anyway, I read lot about Haider Ali here - watched his batting for few overs and figured out a Tape-Tennis product, which was confirmed by someone know him from few years back ..... and he is hyped to be the next pillar of PAK batting - good luck for that.

There are so much to comment on your post, but I will keep it very short. You remember what Jamshed Ahmed and Anwar Ali did to Rohit Sharma and co in that final where Pak defended a nothing score and tell me where Jamshed and Ali are and where Sharma, Jadeja and Pujara are.

So you will be around and I will be around here in sha Allah and we will see the progress og these players who are miles ahead of Rohail and Haider Ali...

 

[Gullycricket]

That tall B'deshi bowler, Shariful or something, wtv his name was - He was saying over and over again the B word after they won. The camera was literally on his face and he was shouting that lol. Like bro, you ain't that young. You should have some common sense.

Say that to Kohli

 

[Mamoon]

Bangladesh's performances against India clearly shows the pscyhological edge the Indians have over the Pakistani team, the Pakistani players both senior and juniors are just so much in awe of their Indian counterparts that they just give up before they go to the field. In stark contrast the Bangladeshi players have no such mental baggage and are able to treat it as a simple game of cricket and go with the flow, relaxing and enjoying the game and therefore they end up putting a proper fight.

Similarly Pakistan will benefit massively when they treat the opposition as if they are not playing against India

Oh but we are light years behind India...


Sick of reading this same line. I totally agree with you bro. Pakistan would regularly thump teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh who have no issues whatsoever in putting up a decent match if not winning some against India. But Pakistan cannot seem to hold their bats without shivering in their boots at the idea of facing India.

Pakistan made light work of New Zealand and England at the grandest stage of them all this year, both those teams pumped India in the same tournament...”yet we are light years behind India.”

Transitivity does not work in cricket. If A beats B and B beats C, it doesn’t mean that A will also beat C.

While it is true that Pakistan loses the psychological battle with India, it is also true that the skill gap between Pakistan and India is also very vast.

In fact, the gap between Pakistan and India is bigger than the gap between Pakistan and England and Pakistan and New Zealand.

The reason is that different teams have different strengths and weaknesses. The problem for Pakistan is that India is adept at beating Pakistan at its own game and our strengths are useless against them.

For example, we call ourselves the number 1 T20 team and indeed that is our “official” ranking, and one of the key reasons for our success in this format in the last two years is the economical bowling of Imad up front.

He regularly bowls 4 tight overs up front and the opposition team never manages to gain enough momentum after they find themselves 15-20 runs short of where they should be after 5-6 overs.

Same Imad who produces figures of 4-22-1 against other sides would produce 4-35-0 against India, because the Indian batsmen are not going to get foxed by his tricks. As a result, Pakistan would lose 4-1 if not 5-0 to India in a T20 series.

Spinners like Imad and Shadab are worth nothing against India. They will dominate them 99/100 times with utmost ease.

It hurts by the ego of Pakistani fans and they try to pretend that India’s dominance over Pakistan is simply psychological and nothing to do with the vast skill gap, but unfortunately, that is not the case.

Pakistan’s only hope of beating India is to get their top order out for nothing. That is rare instance because their top order is exceptional and our bowlers lack consistency and discipline.

That is why the same set of players have been obliterated by India in 4 of the last 5 ODIs since 2017, and our only win came when we dismissed the top 3 inside 5 overs.

In conclusion, even if we ignore the psychological aspect, India is Pakistan’s biggest nightmare today if we only focus on the attributes and the skills of the players.

Your point about Haider Ali is agreeable , he seems a tape-ball batsman and don't see him successful at the highest level.

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..funny how we judge age group cricket with the main game. Alot of these guys are not going to make it. thats just a simple fact. For me, a paksitani team getting to a semi final is pretty good in this age group. We should have beaten India but thats ok. I see guys like Haider Ali and Rohail making their way into the main team.

As for the Bangla boys, good on them. You gotta show massive aggression against the indians and I wish our boys would do the same. Go for the jugular.

The scenes at the end however were pathetic ... I think both sets of players hsould be fined and some should be banned for a game or two to send a message. lets hope this sort of nonsense doesnt happen again. It does not reflect well on the game. This uber chest thumping nationalist bakwaas is not needed in the game..I hope Modi's india is not rubbing off on his "hitler youth"..

 

[Aman]

These Bangladeshi players are so unlikable, they instigated it by getting in the face of Indian players and celebrating after having lost.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Pathetic behaviour by the individual who stepped on opposition's flag. This player should be banned by ICC.

And even pathetic are the people who are defending this act (despite having video/photo proof). Gaslighting in full action.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

This defeat shows Indian mentality. I don't buy "Dravid Classy" "Ganguly classic" meme either. These guys think they own cricket. Well they do own money and a tamasha league but in the end loose finals

 

[Waleed93]

f proper evidence is found against the Indian player who disrespected the Bangladeshi flag, he should be suspended from cricket and punished.

Yes, they are not very old and emotions were high as nobody expected Bangladesh to win the tournament, but they are not 5 years old babies either, they surely know the value of a country's flag. Totally classless and stupid if true.

Anyway, congratulations to [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] , [MENTION=141306]sweep_shot[/MENTION] and other Bangladeshi friends on winning the U19 WC, and hopefully the senior team will win one very soon as well.

 

[EliteCynical]

They should cancel the IPL contracts of Bishnoi, Tyagi and whoever else was involved at the end. Would teach them a good lesson. I don't care who started it etc. I am just bothered about Indian side of things. Let BCB handle their players. None of the "but they started it first....". There needs to be a tangible punishment which would ensure such a thing doesn't happen again. No point in reprimanding them etc. The way Bishnoi was going on with "B****e bat se toh khel le" to one of their batsmen was absolutely disgusting to watch.

Having said that I thought both Garg and Akbar led their sides well and showed a cool head.

 

[pillionrider]

This flag story has been repeated here so many times, it seems to have become the truth. Is there any evidence an Indian actually deliberately stepped on the Bangladesh flag. That's a whole different level of behavior and should fetch the guilty guy an outright ban. No one else seems to have reported this. If this did happen, surely it would have blown up by now.

 

[pillionrider]

Akbar, yes. At the end, he was the one pulling back his over zealous players.
Did you see the postmatch press conferences?
The BD captain was apologetic about his team's behavior while Garg looked like a budding thug from Yogi's school.

It is certainly blown up here so you can yourself decide if it happend or not.

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Azhar Ali and Misbah should learn from this BD U19 team

If you want to be the best in the world kindly show some passion and aggression. Tired of watching Pakistan cricket being captained by chicken hearted players like Misbah, Azhar who are only good at home.

We don't watch or pay to go to stadium to see sportsman spirit.
We want to see your team fight and win.

Bravo Bangladesh.

Today you can actually feel that the minnow tag should not be there now

 

[iPakistani]

This is good, makes cricket less boring. Play with fire and passion, stare at the batsmen have some words with him. As long as all this happens and no physical boundaries are crossed it is all fine.

 

[Artaxerxes]

BCCI blackmails ICC all the time because India with 1.5 billion people generates a lot of money.Indians think only they should win because of their huge population.Credit to Bangladesh for beating the arrogant Indians.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Just saw the recap of the India's batting session. Bangla boys were over the top and behaving like bunch of idiots after every ball bowled. Classless bunch. All these antics will disappear once they come play for the senior team. Kohli & Co will school these idiots and put them in their place. So much fake aggression for an U19 game. Can't wait to see these morons getting tonked to all corners of the park once they start playing for senior team.

 

[imrankhannsu]

I saw the game and here are my thoughts

BD players were quite aggresive towards the batsman. I think thats quite common in alot of international sport unless you say something thats personal. I liked how the Indian batsman took it quite well.

Indian seamer bowled two beamers at a BD batsman He was lucky he got 1 official warning. He should have been off

When that Indian leg spinner was on he was also sledging but like I said that was part of the game

However the excessive appealing by the Indian squad was a bit pathetic tbh.

As it happened so fast after the game I saw some Indian players push a BD player. And ofcourse the BD flag.

BD Captain acknowledges that some things shouldnt have happened, while Indian Captain says "ganda" was started from the other side.

No matter what the situation is, you DO NOT, step or disrespect another countries flag in an international sporting event.

Thanks bro.

These are kids, and I am sure our lot also rubbed enough slat to instigate this. However, stomping on the flag if probably new edition of BJP ruled Bharat - in 1966-67, there was a riot at Eden Gardens when angry mob set fire on the stands. Sir Conrad Hunt found that WIN flag would soon be engulfed in the fire - so he tried to climb on the pole and rescue it; couple of Calcutta Policemen stopped him, rescued the flag when lynch mob were hunting for policemen, and gave it back to Hunt........ India might be shinning, but BJP's India has lost lots of it's soul.

 

[Mesozoic]

It's all right (except that flag incident) .

These Bangla kids have grown up helplessly watching their senior team either getting thrashed or choking embarassingly against India on a regular basis. So, obviously there will be emotions after beating us. Besides, they also lost a super close Asia cup final against pretty much this same Ind team if I'm not wrong.

 

[Saj]

It's all right (except that flag incident) .

No I don't think it was alright.

It was ugly, it looked like a scene from a football match with a few hooligans.

No place for this on a cricket field.

Five players have been found guilty of a Level 3 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Support Personnel following the final of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in Potchefstroom in South Africa yesterday.

Three Bangladeshi players; Md Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain and Rakibul Hasan and two Indian players; Akash Singh and Ravi Bishnoi were charged with violating Article 2.21 of the code, whilst Bishnoi received a further charge of breaching Article 2.5. All five players have accepted the sanctions proposed by ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Match Referee Graeme Labrooy.

Based on the actions of the individuals, the details of the charges and associated sanctions are as follows:

Bangladesh’s Md Towhid Hridoy accepted the charge of breaching Article 2.21 and has received a sanction of ten suspension points, which equates to six demerit points, which will remain on his record for two years.

Bangladesh’s Shamim Hossain accepted the charge of breaching Article 2.21 and has received a sanction of eight suspension points, which equates to six demerit points, which will remain on his record for two years.

Bangladesh’s Rakibul Hasan accepted the charge of breaching Article 2.21 and has received a sanction of four suspension points, which equates to five demerit points, which will remain on his record for two years.

India’s Akash Singh accepted the charge of breaching Article 2.21 and has received a sanction of eight suspension points, which equates to six demerit points, which will remain on his record for two years.

India’s Ravi Bishnoi accepted the charge of breaching Article 2.21 has received a sanction of five suspension points, which equates to five demerit points.

Bishnoi also accepted a level 1 charge of breaching Article 2.5 for a separate incident during the match, where he used language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter following the dismissal of Avishek Das in the 23rdover. For this he received a further two demerit points meaning seven demerit points will remain on his record for the next two years.

All charges were levelled by on-field umpires Sam Nogajski and Adrian Holdstock, third umpire Ravindra Wimalasiri as well as fourth umpire Patrick Bongni Jele.

Level 3 breaches carry a minimum penalty of 4 suspension points and a maximum penalty of 12 suspension points.

Geoff Allardice, ICC General Manager Cricket said: “The match was hard fought, as you would expect in an ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Final, but the elation and disappointment experienced by some players after the game spilled over into unedifying scenes that have no place in our sport. Respect is at the very heart of the spirit of cricket, and players are expected to show self-discipline, congratulate the opposition on their successes and enjoy the success of their own team.

“It is disappointing that Code of Conduct charges needed to be laid after such a closely contested match, but it is important to reinforce the standard of behavior that will be expected of these young players should they transition to senior international cricket.”

The suspension points will be applied to the forthcoming international matches the players are most likely to participate in at either senior or U19 level. One suspension point equals a player being ineligible for one ODI or T20I, U19 or A team international match.

 

[ahmedzee]

Just some hormonal kids ...let them be kids but advise them not to do this again....huge issue made out of this i feel...these are teenagers at the end of the day.

 

[light]

Forget about what the kids did, the fans (mostly grown men) on the other hand throwing bottles at these kids. Unacceptable! Worst than the flag situation

 

[Sherlock]

I'm gonna be honest here - if that was a Bangladeshi player (stamping? Or doing whatever) we'd see huge protests in India and wanting apologies galore.

It's poor from both sides for sure, but disrespecting ones flag is gutter behaviour and deserves pushback from the authorities.

Also - the fans throwing bottles and crap on the field was pretty poor too.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

can't really see too much in the first video. Looks like a bunch of players rushed the other players from outside the boundary. That's not cool.

 

[MenInG]

Bishan Singh Bedi has come down heavily on the visible poor behaviour of the Indian team during Sunday's U-19 World Cup final against Bangladesh in South Africa, tongue-in-cheekly urging the International Cricket Council to "put its foot down" on such conduct and call it a "juvenile" and not the "U-19 World Cup."

Bangladesh achieved their maiden World Cup triumph by three wickets via the Duckworth-Lewis method and the on-field aggression went on even after the winning runs were hit. Some players reportedly got physical while returning to the pavilion end of Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.

The Bangladeshi players appeared to be more poorly behaved, but Bedi said: "Look, what Bangladesh do is their problem, what our boys do is our problem. You could see that there was abusive language used.

"You bat, bowl and field badly…happens, but there's no excuse for behaving badly. The behaviour was disgusting and most disgraceful. The innocence of that age was not visible at all," stressed Bedi, bringing up the age issue. "India, Pakistan and Bangladesh…all Asian teams which made the semi-finals…you could tell from a country mile that the players were not under-19. Few years ago, Rahul Dravid spoke about the overage issue. What has happened to us? I am very disappointed," the former India skipper asked.

Continuing on the topic of poor behaviour, Bedi lamented: "Who can control this?

If the top is behaving like that, what do you expect? The coach, team manager should be hauled up. Dravid must answer to this development.
