India Under-19s have now played two games and look the team to beat.

The tonked England U-19s and, despite being a bit all over the place, narrowly beat Sri Lanka Under-19s today.

Rahul Dravid trying something really interesting in this tournament. He's drastically rotating the squad; oftentimes by up to five or six players.

Not sure how much I agree with this; certainly at this level. It is working as they have gone five games on the bounce without a defeat. Can't help but think it stifles player development somewhat though.
