The pacers Zaheer, Sreesanth and Ishant Sharma were mercilessly beaten by Sri Lankan batsmen recently in the tri-series. :-))
at least, youngsters get the chance by default. now against sa. it wud hv been better that our youngsters got it against bangla but v failed in the oportunity wherein v lost our seniors like dravid laxman yuv to play against sa.
now is time to induct youngsters like 1) pujara the most prolific run scorer since he got man of the series in junior world cup. 2) pande the young lad showing good promise this season after his first ipl century. 3) badri the 'old horse' of domestic performers.
its also surprising that even the best of our bats found it difficult even to play short pitched deliveries bowled by bangla pacers.

Media has reported extensively that Mr Tendulkar had spent a good amount of time with U19 team, defending World Champions, and gave them his tips.
But how the tips would work when Tendulkar and Dravid have never been part of the World Cup winning team. And in the last world cup he failed miserably. :-)
Tips should be taken from Kapil Dev, Amarnath, Madanlal, Binny instead.

Maximum player in U-19 are selected by big references, if they have selected some players who are in full forms, India could be in the final.
