Great win by the young Black Caps...tho TBH more in the news about how those two NZ boys carried off the WI player....and lots of snide references to how the Aussie cricketers should learn from this act of sportsmanship...obviously Martin Crowe and his use for Speights bottle tops is long forgotten.....

We are such good chaps here in Oz we would even pass on our advice to the Kiwis on how to win a Superover!

Great to see Bangladesh upset the odds on favourites India to win their first ever U/19 WC.....

Hopefully the Bangladeshi boys can go on with it when they hit senior International Cricket.

It was a brilliant game of cricket that ebbed and flowed. Fantastic for the Bangladeshi's and their supporters. Indians were very aggressive in the field and getting in the faces of the Banger batsmen but they hung on for a terrific win...well done to them.

Agreed, a great game of cricket and the cool head of the captain got Bangladesh home. The Umpires had to step in several times to tell various Indian players to cut the verbals and get on with the game. Probably not a bad thing for those young Indians to taste a bit of humble pie because a few of them seemed quite petulant and up themselves. Maybe not used to being challenged to this extent. This experience may make them better players in Senior cricket and to be able to handle the ups and downs the game will inevitably throw up.

bh; true, east pakistan should be able to especially in their home tests.

I was reading today there was a bit of biffo after the game when the Banga's ran on to celebrate. 5 kids were hauled up before the match ref and copped penalties. I gotta admit, the way the Indians carried on when Bangladesh were batting I'd want to smack one of them as well.

I hope the Bangladeshi boys won the dust up afterwards as well against the Indians!
