Indian commentators with an interesting stat.
One in four u19's go on to play for their national side.

That poor opener got an absolute Jaffer.

Top 3 teams have the 3 most successful opening partnerships.
Also the richest boards
True.

This u19 is of such a high standard that unless your top batters have had List A and FC exposure prior to the tournament they're on the back foot.

Our management would be screaming at the openers if they were 20 after 8 and yet the dressing room are looking very relaxed

This Harnoor steps right across and closes himself off, he surely has to be an LBW candidate.

Anything over 230 will be tough to chase I reckon so they are prolly backing themselves to go big later

Ya that's the way it's played nowadays. If the bowling is tight they are comfortable ticking along at 3's and try and get to the 35th with wickets intact and then go.
They don't try and force it at all for the first 20 unless the bowling is shit or they've got a guy that likes going hard.
This is likely to be another tight game.

These Aussies have got this ambidextrous spinner. Looking forward to seeing him.

Nisbet is bowling immaculate line and length at medium pace but no movement. Salzman is getting movement. Hard to say except maybe they're going well in tandem
