i am keeping an eye on Nasir Hossain(if he is on the squad),Anamul Haque(keeper-batsmen) and a few others(correct me if i am wrong, as this info is accurate based on my memory).

I'm wondering why Nasir Hossain is not in the squad after being one of the top 10 run scorers in the last NCL. He also has a bowling average around 30 I think.

18 years and 29 days..unless the board knows something we do not.

Clearly a great talent to make top 10 in NCL at 17!!

Thought they were playing in NZ, still SA has bouncy wickets, so it is still good practice.
In NZ, the wind is the contention, hope they are n ot playing in Wellington.

If Nasir Hossain and Ariful Haque were really as young as their reported ages, there would be no reason to leave them out of the U-19 team. They must have been caught in medical tests.

Sky Sports are only showing a few games, an England game, the final and probably a few others

Then watch Bangladesh in the finals.

[bangla-red]

I want to see Bangladesh in all the games :p

[Eshen]

If BD team become group D champion, we may see our QF match on TV. Both SF and the final will be televized too, though I have no idea which channels will broadcast them.

Looks like BD team will be facing either India or England from group A, in QF.

Eshen bhai are you some kind of an under cover reporter or something. i swear you seem to have access to all Bangladesh cricket related articles before anybody else.

Lucky you guys, WI U-19 played a series with Canada U-19's.

[zainab]

My local cricket channel is showing the QF, SF and Final, that is why i am anxious BD proceed to the QF.

Star Cricket would telecast the matches in Bangladesh : Just saw their ad

[Bugz]

Fox is showing some matches in Aus

India U19s v SL U19s at Johannesburg - Jan 2
India U19s won by 10 wkts (with 245 balls remaining)

SL U19 52 AO.
http://www.cricinfo.com/southafrica/...ch/436907.html
that's 3 in a row for Ind U19.

[zainab]

If BD can win their 2 warm up matches, this will give them loads of confidence for the real competition. They should target winning all the matches.

[Purbasha T]

Did SL-19 just have a bad day or is it that Ind-U19 are in blistering form? We'll see.

[Neel Here]

a bit of both I guess, this same SL team scored 283 in the last match against SA !

I don't know if you follow U19 cricket but it is always low scoring.
