Semi-Final: Bangladesh v West Indies under-19s

 
shivnotout 2016-02-10 20:46:12 

West Indies' new-ball attack has been one of the highlights of this tournament, particularly the sight of the beanpole Alzarri Joseph steaming in and consistently hitting high speeds.


bangla win toss and will bat first

Just a little green on that pitch and Ban is in trouble. Me boy EBS told me Alzarri will be on fire tonight.

Bangla bwoys gave we a good cutass in WI early practice matches....time for revenge...dem might pelt we dong wid pebbles

big grin

 
Narper 2016-02-10 21:29:32 

Going into today's game, Bangladesh have the advantage of conditions and crowd support. However, Windies have some match-winners in their ranks and the raw pace they possess can rattle the opponents. West Indies would also hope that the demons in the slow pitch stay away

Bangladesh U19 have won the toss and have opted to bat

 
Narper 2016-02-10 21:36:50 

Mehedi Hasan: "We will bat first, the wicket looks good. If we post 250, we have a better chance. We are confident, West Indies are a good side but hopefully we will do well."


Shimron Hetmyer: "It does not really matter that we are bowling first. We are feeling very good, the boys are up for it. We are going with the same team."

OUT, taken. Short and wide, a ball that was supposed to go the boundary. Instead, Pinak gets under it and slices it straight down third man's throat. Big wicket for WI. They can really go hard at this top order now

Springer bowling with a lot of heart. This team is fired up like I haven't seen a WI team in a long time!

 
Norm 2016-02-10 23:59:55 

Run out attempt. Not out. Good decision, IMO.

Bang 89-4 in 22.2 overs. Both teams playing well.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:06:46 

Springer at 125 to 130 kph and getting a lot of bounce. Bowling with intent here.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:11:05 

John right on the money - bowling a full length on middle stump.

Bang 95-4.

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 00:11:18 

WOUNDIES losing this. WOUNDIES supporters getting wet by this teams early strides.

lol lol lol lol lol

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:11:41 

Chemar Holder back, replacing Springer.

Cut away fiercely behind square, but well-fielded by Goolie on the boundary. WI giving nothing away.

Overpitches on the pad and is driven to the mid wicket boundary nicely for 4 by the left-handed Zakir Hassan! Bang 100 up.

Six off the over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:16:34 

Joseph back. On off stump, edged in the air past the vacant 1st-2nd slip for 4! Beautiful leg cutter.

Hetmyer still leaves the slips vacant.

Crowd very noisy.

26.5 Beamer! Warned by the ump. Unintentional, but a free hit. Hit straight back for 4.

Twelve off that over from Joseph, but a big chance missed in the slips.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:22:25 

Holder again. Bowled!!!!!!

Zakir bowled off stump by a superb yorker from Holder! Crowd silenced!!!

Bang 113-4 in 27.1 overs. WI remain focused. Celebrating but not overdoing it.

This kid is good

Bowls good wicket-taking deliveries.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:26:19 

Shaifuddin in. Lefty. Plays the first ball solidly.

Holder between 125 and 130 too, but delivering from considerable height.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:29:39 

Joseph again, in his 7th over. Above 130 kph. Single off the over.

Bang 115-5 in 29 overs.

 
openning 2016-02-11 00:32:37 

They need ten overs from one or two bowlers, only four bowlers bowled so far.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:33:19 

Holder again, in his 9th over. Overpitching a bit in this over, but Bang have gone into their shells - and WI fielding is doing really well.

Maiden! 115-5 in 30 overs.

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 00:35:35 

Bangla will win it if they score above 150+

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:36:49 

Goolie to bowl. On a good off-stump length. Getting a bit of turn, and some bounce. Single off the over.

Bang 116-5 in 31 overs.

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 00:38:13 

Woundies are going to lose this if they don't bowl Bangla under 150


lol lol lol lol

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:40:02 

Holder with his 10th over.

Overpitched ball driven beautifully thru extra covers for 4 by the right-handed Mehidi Hassan! Frew could have done better on the boundary there.

Five off the over. Bang 121-5. Holder 10-1-36-2.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:44:35 

Goolie again. Scooped past fine leg for 4 by Mehidi! Frew chasing sluggishly again.

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 00:44:58 

Mehedi destroying Woundies bowling.

lol lol lol lol lol lol

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:46:06 

Edged past slips for 4! 12 off the over from Goolie.

Bang 133-5 in 33 overs. Bang run rate over 4 per over now.

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 00:47:26 

WOUNDIES losing this if they don't pack Bangla under 150!

Norm 2016-02-11 00:47:35 

Pope to bowl. Goes around the wicket the lefty Shaifuddin. Sets his own field meticulously.

Mehidi cuts him thru the gully for 4!

 
anandgb 2016-02-11 00:49:31 

In reply to Norm

Why isn't he bowling Paul?

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:51:32 

In reply to anandgb

Why isn't he bowling Paul?

Exploring his spin options, or saving him for the death.

Bang 141-5 in 34 overs. 25 runs off the last 3 overs.

Frew to bowl. Length on the short side. Getting bounce tho. Frew seems to be having an off-day today overall, but his bowling got better towards the end of his first over.

Three off the over. Bang 144-5 in 35 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:55:56 

Pope again.

Bang 148-5 in 36 overs.

Two off the over. Pope not happy with Hetmyer's field placings for that over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 00:58:54 

Frew again. Cut deftly by Mehidy thru the gully for 4 more. Six off the over.

Bang 154-5 in 37 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:00:57 

Pope again. Two off the over.

Bang 156-5 in 38 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:03:37 

Frew again, to Shaiuddin. He takes one off the 1st ball to give the strike to Mehidy. Keeping it tight. Two off the over.

Bang 158-5 in 39 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:06:02 

Frew again, to Mehidy, who likes to cut thru point. Two men there. Carty doesn't pick it up cleanly and Pope yells at him "Nothing!"

 
romanticking 2016-02-11 01:06:29

Frew again. Shaifuddin cuts him nicely past point for 4! The large crowd roars!
Bang 170-5 in 41 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:12:20 

Pope again to Mehidy. Cuts it thru the gully for 4 more!

I think they were okay, in the circumstances.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:14:29 

Pope almost mankhads Shaifuddin!!! Warns him! smile Crowd roars!

Bang 177-5 in 42 overs.

 
anthonyp 2016-02-11 01:14:45 

Why the spinners still bowling? The pacers could finish the innings off confused

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:15:33 

Springer back. Takes some time to set his field.

50 to Mehidy, off 63 balls! Well played.

180-5 in 43 overs. Three off the over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:21:25 

Pope still bowling?!!! A short ball on the pads turned past fine leg for 4 by Shaiuddin!

Bang 189-5 in 44 overs. Nine off that over - probably the last over of spin from WI today.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:24:57 

Springer again.

Bang 196-5 in 45 overs. Intense struggle out there.

Paul to bowl. Why not Joseph?

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:29:51 

Paul overpitches the first ball but gets away with it. Decent length next ball.

Gets Mehidy with a fierce short-pitched ball now!!!!!

Bang 198-6.

Next man bowled first ball by a good length ball from Paul!!!!

Bang 198-7.

Hat trick ball is fullish, on off. Defended.

 
anthonyp 2016-02-11 01:32:33 

Really poor captaincy.. I though Keemo was injured thats why he didn't bowl earlier.. why bowl dem part time spinners when the pacers got so much overs still? evil

Its enough for Bangla to defend. they will close Woundies for less than 150.

Norm 2016-02-11 01:34:17 

In reply to romanticking

Its enough for Bangla to defend.

It's runs on the board, but less than Bang would have liked, I think.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:35:07 

Bang 199-7 in 46 overs.

Springer again. Bang 200 up!

Bang 303-7. Four off that over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:38:19 

Paul again. Comms wondering why Joseph will not complete his 10 overs.

Bowled by a swinging yorker from Paul!!! Crowd silenced again.

Bang 205-8 in 47.3 overs.

Bang 211-8 in 48 overs. Eight off the over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:42:06 

Springer again. Crowd urging on the Bang batsmen. Extras at 22 at the moment (48.3 overs), with 13 wides.

Bowled by Springer, trying to scoop him to fine leg!!!! Springer does his spring dance!

Bang 217-9 in 49 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:46:10 

Paul to bowl the last over. Crowd estimated at 28,000. Huge Bangladesh flags everywhere.

Short rising ball pulled for SIX!!!!

Run out off the last ball!

Bang 226 all out in 50 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 01:51:41 

Fighting score by Bangladesh!

It's all up to the WI batting now.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:35:23 

WI off to their usual rollicking start, thanks to the Pope!

Uh oh! Imlach gone lbw for 14 to an off break turning to the leg stump! Batsman in two minds. Not sure if he should defend or turn it into the leg side field.

Hetmyer in.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:39:37 

Left arm pacer Mehede to Hetmyer, clocking 124 to 128 kph. Two runs off the over.

WI 46-1 in 6 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:42:47 

M Hasan continues, to Pope. Launches that high. One bounce 4 over covers! 50 up. Launches another fiercely over mid wicket for SIX!!!!

Then Pope is bowled off stump for 38, going for another big hit!!!! Loud roar from the crowd!

WI 56-2.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:46:44 

Carty in.

Mehede to Heymyer. Pulls to mid wicket and it's well fielded. Loud roar from the crowd again! Hetmyer being kept quiet. Maiden.

WI 56-2 in 8 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:51:12 

Shaifuddin to bowl.

Hi Norm, I didn't even know the game was on tonight.
As soon as I see this thread, my first thought was where is Norm.
Thanks for your updates. smile

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:54:21 

In reply to tops

You are welcome, bro! Carty looking solid. Just what WI need at the moment.

Shaifuddin clocking about 130 kph and bowling a decent line and length.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 02:57:35 

Mehede to Carty. He moves down and swipes at a rising ball. Misses, but that was an uncharacteristic shot from him.

Carty drives the last ball of the over beautifully thru the packed covers for 4!!!!

WI 65-2 in 10 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:01:24 

Shawon to bowl slow left-arm spin, to Hetmyer.

He plays a dangerous shot against the line. Fortunately, he connects, but cannot beat the man behind square leg. Gets off the mark with a square cut to point.

 
analyst-kid 2016-02-11 03:03:37 

Comms talking bout pressure on WI...NO PRESSURE at all....all these guys need to do is bat cool and cruise till they reach 150.

If they reach 150 and Springer or the captain there...it is all over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:05:10 

In reply to analyst-kid

all these guys need to do is bat cool and cruise till they reach 150.

Agree. They are well ahead on the run rate at the moment. Carty seems solid, but Hetmyer is having trouble beating the field.

 
openning 2016-02-11 03:06:05 

Too many dot ball, time to get the ball into gaps

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:06:37 

Mehede to Hetmyer. Short outside leg. Hetmyer hooks dangerously and misses! Then he swipes at one wide outside off and misses again.

Hetmyer drives nicely off the pads to mid wicket for a single, and that looks a lot better.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:08:53 

In reply to openning

Too many dot ball

Naw. They need to consolidate at the moment. Carty looking good today.

WI 70-2 in 12 overs.

Norm 2016-02-11 03:11:14 

Hetmyer edges in the air past the vacant slips for 4! Whew. Then he swings one on the stumps hard to mid wicket for a single. He's living dangerously.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:13:11 

In reply to shivnotout

A cowlasher who puts 38 on the board is fine by me. smile

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:15:10 

Hetmyer calls for a new bat at the end of the over and does some repairs to clothes.

Hossein to bowl slow left-arm stuff to him. Takes a single. Carty lifts the next ball nicely over long off for 4!!!

WI 84-2 in 13.4 overs. Carty plays out the rest of the over calmy.

WI 84-2 in 14 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:18:29 

Shawon to continue, to Hetmyer. Sweeps a ball on the stumps to square leg for 2.

Hetmyer makes room on leg and pulls to mid wicket for 4!!!

92-2 in 15 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:21:40 

Mosabbek to bowl, right-arm off-spin, to Carty. Strokes it to long on for a single.

WI 95-2 in 16 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:27:41 

Mehidy to continue, to Carty. He takes a single off the first ball.

Hetmyer skies the next ball very high into deep mid wicket and gets two. Dangerous living.

WI 99-2 in 17 overs. 128 needed at less that 4 an over. The crowd is quiet.

Sarkar to bowl, right-arm off-spin.

Hetmyer square cuts stylishly past point for 4! Cuts him again for 4 more, same place!!! 50 partnership up.

Short, and Hetmyer pulls effortlessly over mid wicket for SIX!!!!

WI 114-2 in 18 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:35:02 

Mehedy Hasan continues. Single to Hetmyer. Two near run-outs in consecutive balls, and Hetmyer goes down and has a word with Carty.

WI 117-2 in 19 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:37:56 

Shawon comes back, bowling to Hetmyer.

Carty moves down and swings at one on off stump and is BOWLED!!!! The ball was short and did not bounce as much as he anticipated, but that was not smart.

Springer in, with WI 118-3 in 19.5 overs.

WI 118-3 in 20 overs.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:42:41 

Mehedy continues, to Hetmyer. Takes a single off the 1st ball of the over. Springer seems to grasp the situation, and is playing with a fairly straight bat at the moment.

 
shivnotout 2016-02-11 03:44:13 

In reply to Norm

what kind of shot was that.


Wicket! That's reckless from Carty! Comes down to mow across mid-wicket when there was no need. A big swipe across the line and he's bowled. Bangladesh have an opening from nowhere

 
analyst-kid 2016-02-11 03:44:19 

109 with 7 wickets in hand and 30 overs remaining is still easy cruising.

As I said any the two of these batting are there with 150 on the board it is all over.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:46:37 

In reply to shivnotout

what kind of shot was that.

A very bad one - in the context. Carty has potential, but he needs work to convert that talent to substance.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:48:04 

Shawon continues, and the batsmen are rotating the strike nicely. Strays on leg and Hetmyer sweeps superbly for 4!!! Goes to 49.

WI 131-3 in 22 overs. 96 needed now.

 
Norm 2016-02-11 03:50:37 

Mosabbek back. 50 to Hetmyer, off 47 balls!

All eyes must be after this WC on how each of these youngsters graduate vs the existing players in the region.

With players getting paid its now even harder to get into teams.

Springer has some potential but more importantly he has a strong mental fortitude that takes him to a different level.

Hetmeyer is a top bat. The best on this team.

correct

we have to focus on the development of these lads

I agree.

Springer has shown skill and character with both bat and ball. His performances will no doubt inspire other young WI cricketers.


Hetmeyer is a top bat.

He's talented, but needs to learn to graft thru periods when he's not in good form. He's a joy to watch when he gets going.

The million dollar question is how do we develop and prepare for the highest level. We lost many talented players during the transition, what did we not do correctly?
We need to look at other countries and implement what they did.

That is how it should be. The PCL salaries need to create a desperation for a place in the regional team. Youngsters, if they want the money, need to find a way to kick the door down.
I feel though that the WICB cannot leave it up to the territorial boards to choose the best possible players. Selectors need to select the best 90 and force the local teams to choose from that 90.

 
sudden 2016-02-11 07:28:10 

In reply to Baje

agreed. they need to mandate that at least 4 players not from the home territory should be in each squad.

 
Commie 2016-02-11 15:19:01 

In reply to Baje

I support a WICB development team in the regional comp. they can pull from WI u19 and players like Stanny Simon and Jonathan Drakes and others who can't make even their regional training squad but who have real talent.
