***Official Under 19 World Cup Thread***

[Tim]

The problem for NZ with these tournaments is that they just don't play enough international U19 matches at home & overseas to know what it's all about. Every other country seems to have matches scheduled for their U19's except us so it's easy to see why we struggle at this level of the game.

oh yes along with india, they look to have a pretty strong side.

If it's one good thing about the WI it's that we have good youth sides who then go to crap when they're too old.

Don't you mean 'go to pot'?

Yeh, It's the same case here in Nepal.

Anyone know the time diff between Aus and Srilanka?

Depends on where you live -

Sydney/Melbourne - 5 hours ( Day Light saving included)

Adelaide - 4 hours

Perth - 3 hours ??
I think this is correct. (I hope )

No idea, sorry.

Just noticed that it's Australia vs South Africa though. Hopefully we'll make it 2 out of 2 tonight.

Wow thanks

Great start here from Australia! Tim Cooper with a century, and Finch and Warner both with fifties. Jack ends with 1* off 2. Henriques following up his 37 off 29 with the wickets of both openers.

Wow. S Keen tearing it up, 3/3 off 3 overs so far.

Scotland have Sri Lanka in a bit of bother, reducing the hosts to 81-4 in reply to 186 all out

Anyone know how NZ v Bangladesh is going?

 

[Neil Pickup]

From TigerCricket.com:

New Zealand U/19 Vs Bangladesh U/19
New Zealand U/19 175//10 Over -45
Bangladesh U/19 118/5 Over -22

 

[andyc]

South Africa 7/105. Give Jack a bowl!

Edit: And with that, Jack comes on and starts with a maiden.

 

[Tim]

Hmm...NZ are right in that game..hopefully they pull it off.

 

[Pratters]

Jack finally gets the chance to bowl and bowls a maiden.

 

[thierry henry]

Looks like Roneel was the only member of the NZ lower order to show any guts with the bat. Then took a catch as Southee picked up 2 early wickets. Go Roneel

 

[Tim]

The concern for NZ is that with the batting, only Todd Astle is scoring any runs. The rest of them have been making some pretty average scores.
The bowling seems to be pretty good at times though.

 

[thierry henry]

Is any site providing regular updates? And will there be any TV coverage in NZ?

 

[Tim]

Neil posted www.tigercricket.com but it hasnt updated in about 20 mins.
Cricinfo have posted the NZ batting scorecard.

I recall Skysports showed the NZ matches against Bangladesh & India on tv a few weeks after the last tournament concluded...but as far as live matches go, I doubt we'll see anything live.
