There is nothing to learn from a minnow like BD. They are the most inconsistent team. They were involved in match fxing against India and South Africa. None of their players would even qualify to play for weak teams like Assam and Orissa. Send India under-19 instead. India should play with teams that are at par with them. Cancel BD tour and extend England tour by another 5 or 6 practice matches against top county sides.

Man i think you are one of those guys who just reads the news and forms opinions. I say so cause you dont seem to have followed the matchs closely. If you did you would not say that about BD. Yeah Ireland is another story I might say inconsistent and all that u said about them (except match fixing) but not BD. If you see by the skill they showed. They might even win one more match. As far as consistency goes. yeah they are not consistent but is India consistent?? Is WI consistent? And so BD.

But, do you think I am wrong to observe that they do not have a single player that would qualify to play for Assam or orissa, forget Maharashtra or Bengal (West that is)?

I am no fan of BD. Come on give them a break. They did deserve to go to the second round as they have rightly won crucial matches. They have indeed beaten a few good teams and the recent match against england they atleast tried to defend their meagre total of 143. They got 6 pommies packing for 114 ( am i right on that count). I remember in the sixties how we used to fare against the giants like Sir Garfeild Sober's Windies or the Bill Lawry's Aussies. We were sitting ducks. Going by Mintos logic Windies or aussies should have sent under 19 team to India. I wouldnt have the priviledge to watch Either Hall or hunt or Bynoe or the the wicketkeepers of the class of Mike Hendricks or McKenzie. In the end who knows BD might turn out to be a good team in years to come. Our cricketers have to get their acts straight. Let us not worry about who our team plays.
