Congratulations

[crikss]

[Isnaad]

Future prospect maybe?

[Naimul_Hd]

Congrats Soumya Sarkar for earning your own BC thread.

[BD Rox]

Congrats brother. Hope he keeps it up.

[Gowza]

was one of the ones to watch even before this knock, but awesome for to to get the record.

[shakibrulz]

I think Sohel rates him, I'll take his word for now. Definitely an aggressive batsman, so at least looking forward to a good ODI/T20 prospect.

Too early to make a thread for SS

[patriot]

Shommo looks like Anamul's younger brother.

[nadim 98]

Yh he is one of the most promising young player right now. Has been doing ok but sometimess I don't like when I see him batting in the middle order coz hE CAN be very solid opener. His bowling can be very handy too. Used to bowl more often but now turned into a occasional bowler.

THIS POST from another thread has my observations for those interested.

I hope this thread is kept alive through wonderful performances, and together with Bijauy's, becomes as heavy as Shakib and Tamim's one day.

It's too early to open a thread for a young star like Soumya . He scored 209 against Qatar 19. they barely know cricket!.. yeah, I am also excited about new star Soumya. But Lets see what he does when he faces pakistan/india/srilanka.

How is he still playing for Under 19? Is the rule something like if the age is OK during registration, they can play during the tournament or something along that line?

I posted the relevant rules several years ago and it has come up ever year. I'm on the way to the airport so can't dig it up for you, but the gist is there is a cutoff date prior to the subsequent U19 WC. So you can be 19 +n days and still be eligible.

He might be even better than Shewag, you never know!?


A double TON in any level of cricket, even in "para cricket" is an achievement IMHO.
