U19 Cricket

Worth watching:

The guy that is 4th on the list of best U19 bowling figures has turned out to be alright.

The player of that Malaysia U19 tournament was Fern favourite Tim Southee IIRC. I reckon he turned out to be pretty good too.

I do have some issues with Pope's hair but that is just my problem.

Some of that slip catching for Pope was outstanding. Really good - up high, down low, going away - and sharp. Great stuff.

KiwiPie

@nzzp The one he took deflected off the keeper was superb.

Gunner

That is one hideous mop of hair.

You'd have to think they are related at least.

Nah, from SA. Probably has some inbred genetic deformities.

Crazy Horse

The Afghans are looking like they will post a good score against us today 269/5 with two overs to go.

On a side note, how does Danny Morrison keep getting gigs?

Crazy Horse

309/6. 69 runs in the last 4 overs.

Chris B.

@crazy-horse They've absolutely pasted us in the last four or five overs. Some guy call Azmatullah going at a 300 rate - 66 off 23 balls and they end at 309.

Bovidae

The NZ attack looked very ordinary. We'll have to do an India and out-score teams. It's up to the top 4 to continue their good form.

Chris B.

@bovidae Yeah - our bowlers didn't look like they had much to counter the Afghans. Fisher trying for yorkers and bowling a series of full tosses that disappeared to and over the boundary with regularity.

Smudge

Well, that was an utterly awful call from Ravindra.

Chris B.

@smudge And their spinner was all over Bhula.

12/2 and already the fat lady is in the powder room!

Bovidae

They are going to lose to a team of 16 yr olds!

So Patel gets two wickets, only concedes 13 runs in 3 overs and they decide to not bowl him anymore. Yeah, real smart.

Chris B.

Boshier picks up his third consecutive duck batting at four.

Allen looking relatively competent, but I think it's thanks for coming boys!

Chris B.

Kiss of death for Allen - 20/4 and it's turning into a rout!

Bovidae

The first game I've had the chance to watch, and I shouldn't have bothered.

It shows how ineffective Lockrose was as the NZ frontline spinner.

Have only just tuned in on Cricinfo. Sounds like a team & captain phoning it in and being smashed accordingly...
