Totally disappointing to see how few pops we got this week. 17 players on the team for a total of three pops. And guess who?

Farooq Ishtaq "The Beast" owned by Jay_m of the plateaus.

Kaliranjan Selladurai "The Stopper" owned by Rebel Without A Clue.

Mahendravarman Singh "The Future" owned by Samurai_Tungi .

Great work by those managers, I know it is only one week but it is a scary trend.

Zhou Yugui can really score in the middle range but can't defend. He would need a lot of work.

Eesaanan Vats is already 21 and couldn't guard a deck chair.

But great work in spotting those two guys. I have added Zhou to our database on the offsite forums. You should join! Just go to Buzzerbeater stats, then to the forums section and apply to join India.

First much better news on the pop front. Nine pops this week including some important ones. Full details will be on the offsite forums.

Big game against Barbados in Barbados tomorrow. If we win it we start out 2-0 which would be great and already two more wins than I expected this season. Current enthusiasm is 6.

India U21 vs. Barbados U21 106 - 50

Well that was a fantastic result for us. Considering they had home court advantage and put more effort into the game than us, to beat them by 56 was fantastic. A great effort by everyone but Shipirist Rath was our star player.

Considering I feared we may not win any games this season starting out 2-0 is brilliant. Next week we have Costa Rica in India so we will also have a good chance there before we have two unwinnable games against Venezuela and Columbia.

Right now we are in 8th place out of 86 nations in the consolation tournamnet. Brilliant work everyone, keep on training!

Like you said, I thought the match result was quite brilliant.

By our standard, it's pretty hard to win games but I suppose that we happen to be little lucky and get into a group that doesn't consist of impossibly strong teams.

Well far from Automatic but I think we have a reasonable shot there so we will be 3-0 before we have the two close to miracle games which will take us back to 3-2.

The current India U-21 NT rank is not too bad, and higher than many of the teams in the group, but it's kind of misleading because the rank went up due to our performance in season 15 and 16. So obviously at this point, our rank should be much lower. And the opposite could be the case with other countries. Maybe even a country with quite a low rank can be stronger than us. Maybe it's just me, but it's quite funny how even the rank (knowing that it is inaccurate) can encourage or discourage one's enthusiasm and spirit to win games.
