It's in topic.
Because I'm pretty sure Basset-Graham was an NZ u19 player back in the 00s. But would have been a fringe provincial player at senior level. Probably sub-10 games.
Edit. No, I'm wrong.
1 FC game, but no record of him playing for NZ U19s. -

To be honest I would expect everyone to score big v Nepal for NZ not exactly a power force in Cricket
They had no idea V Afghanistan or Pakistan..The are good enough us apparently:
That team has five players who have played for the Black Caps and four other who have had reasonable domestic careers (two not so much).

Says more about the quality of the NZ u/19 teams
Nepal do not play in any tier 1 competions not a good look for NZ under age teams.
And if that is the criteria NZ under age teams are judged by we are doing well as we are as good as Nepal at u/19 level it is worse than I thought.If Australia lost to Nepal at that level there would a major shake up of the system as there has been before.

There are plenty of development issues to work on in NZ Cricket. It’d take me ages to list them on the phone. And not that I can do much to help.
That said, an Australian opener has just carried his bat, yet the other 10 couldn’t stay with him against a team that hasn’t beaten them at home since 1997. The joys of cricket 😊

We also lost to Nepal in the 2005/06 tournament.

I am sure their is a bounce back due soon.

This NZ u/19 side is one of the worst batting units I have seen.
The bowling is ok Rowe and Clarke look promising but the batting is very weak and some very average batting technique.We have never been famous for our U19 sides... I think Reddy and the skipper Jackson look handy prospects.
The commentators pointed out last night that only a couple of players from each side generally have international careers, and only half domestic careers.
Depends what is meant by 'careers', but ...
Looking back at previous squads.
It would be 6 to 7 end up playing senior international cricket (in a good 2-year-cycle crop).
2 to 4 when you have a bad cycle.

Just watching the U/19s bat against India
Jones has his off stump cleaned up first ball.
Reddy gets hit on the pad first ball doesn’t read the inswinger
Then plays all over a straight one LBW 2nd ball.
NZ 2 down for 0
Terrible to watch not a decent batting technique to be seen.
