Young Player of the Tournament

[TheJediBrah]

yes but that means doing so within the context of the pitch and circumstances and playing the probabilities intelligently. Which a lot of teams (esp England) have failed to do. In this case the calculation was 325 was a good outcome, top outcome was 340 but 290 was a possibility given long tail and difficulty of scoring, better to play the safe odds

No that's just not the case. Barely going at a run a ball in the last overs of a 50 over innings, batting first, is not the optimal strategy unless you're like 8 or 9 down

Rachin.

Who do you think will be the best Young Player of the Tournament?
(24 and younger)

100% Rachin Ravindra, 3 centuries in a debut WC being under 24 is not something to ignore.

 

[King Kane]

Yeah Rachin Ravindra for me too and I would say that even if I wasn't a Black Caps supporter, Jansen and Madushanka have been really impressive too.

 

[honestbharani]

Not buying that, too interested in his own stats. He'd never bat the way Kane did against Pakistan, holing out on 95. He'd tick over 5 singles, he'd fail to accelerate. Kohli has played 8 innings and only one at a run a ball, in a high scoring tournament. Only one in the top 15 run scorers striking at less than 90 per 100 balls. Yes I know he's playing a role with firepower around, yes I'd take him for my team, but just something about the way he goes about it makes me not want him as the numero uno.

You have not seen a single Kohli 100 apart from the one against RSA?

 

[honestbharani]

I know Jayasuriya got it in '96 despite flopping in the SF and F lol. Aravinda robbed

I mean he bowled well.

 

[GIMH]

This is definitely true. The goal batting first should be to get as big a score as possible, Virat definitely didn't do that and played for himself. That India won the game in the end doesn't change that at all.

It's how he was asked to bat by his captain though

Yeah sorry mate I did miss it otherwise I wouldn't have.

 

[ankitj]

Ravindra easily.

I know he is usually the answer to all questions, but Jadeja is not that young.

 

[Burgey]

RRavindra >>>>>RavindraJ tbh

 

[ankitj]

Young man named after 3 Indian legends - Dravid, Tendulkar and Jadeja. WAG.

 

[Daemon]

There's just no way Will Young is the player of the tournament.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

He is still young. He has time to become the player of the tournament.
