U19 Cricket

[Virgil]

Backyard cricket is complicated enough as it is with one bounce one hand catch, over the fence 6 and out, hit any shrubs, bushes or small trees on the full it’s out

Imagine playing that rule in backyard cricket.

"you're closer, chuck me the ball!"
"here you go dick"
"haha you're out idiot"
"DAAAAAAAD!!!!!"

[booboo]

Goid guys into the quarters.

Yay.

Going ok.

Beat the Jaapies today.

@booboo
Took my boys to watch it. Gee, Ravindra is a terrific all-rounder. Great talent in the team, but where are the fast bowlers besides Fisher?

[mimic]

@arhs get ravindra into the black caps as our #6..

@donsteppa Is it smoko time?

[antipodean]

@donsteppa I watched England's collapse (there's simply no other word for it) on cricinfo. One opener for England scored 58 from 53 balls. Three ducks and only one other person scored double figures.

Clearly Indian bookmakers are targeting schoolkids now.

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.

[nzzp]

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.

[Tim]

@crucial At least tell me he's from Queensland.

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.
