Young, Duffy, Nuttall and Walker have played FC cricket. Guys like Milne, Henry etc just miss out qualifying which is a shame or our bowling attack would be h4x.

William Young is a batsman from my area, and a pretty decent one. Duffy is rapid, and I don't know anything about Nuttall and Walker except they are a seamer and a spinner respectively.

Does anyone know if Cummins is playing?

Given he's actually played international cricket, he'll probably .... the **** out of everyone.

 

[Flem274*]

Could you consider changing the wording of that statement please Morgie? Cheers.

 

[Flem274*]

Do Australia have any A tours coming up? I know with Williamson he was eligible for the previous U19 CWC but we elected to keep him in senior cricket. Wouldn't surprise me if Australia did the same with Cummins.

good win for eng u19's against Aus today. Bell-Drummond becomes the highest ever scorer for england u19s in ODIs- good job he was there in all honesty.

 

[Cevno]

Don't really recognise any of the players in the Indian side except Unmukt Chand. Think some of the others would have been not available with the IPL.

 

[brockley]

Yes Flem we have a Australia A series with English lions in July.

 

[Flem274*]

NZ destroyed the Indian batsmen. 4/3 at one stage.

2nd Match: India Under-19s v New Zealand Under-19s at Townsville, Apr 5, 2012 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Howsie]

Hmmm, so the ND boys took New Zealand home then, fantastic.

Considering only four of those guys have played any form of domestic cricket that's a fairly old team. Most of the guys are at least 19 or about to turn 19. Far cry from the last few Under 19 teams.

Really hoping Will Young brings Sodhi on a bit earlier than 4th change, and I read the commentary of his full 10 against the Aussies at this link on Monday night -
Australia Under 19 vs New Zealand Under 19 - Match 05 2011/12 Quadrangular Under-19 Series in Australia [1-DAY] Tony Ireland Stadium, Townsville

 

[Howsie]

Sodhi's pretty close to the Auckland setup already isn't he? I remember seeing his name in one of the "A" games between ND and Auckland. Pretty impressive for a legspinner in this country at that age.

But on the bright side, we never dominate India at age group level. Kane Williamson's side, probably the best we've ever fielded, got thumped by them in the world cup semi.

We already have a logjam of young players in their early twenties trying to crack the Shield, so maybe that could be a reason not many have played PS. Dunno.

Nuttall is Trent Boult II from what I saw on the domestix highlights. Probs a touch less pace but otherwise very very similar.

Judging by their performances against England and Australia it wouldn't be hard to guess why many haven't played PS cricket yet. Pumped.

 

[grecian]

Foakes, and inevitably Bell-Drummond score runs against India, C Overton the star though of course.

I think this is genuinely exciting, mainly because we may well get that Stokes, Foakes, Woakes batting line-up for England one day.

 

[theegyptian]

Foakes needs to move clubs to get some cricket. How's he meant to get past Foster and Wheater?

My guys at Gloucestershire would take Foakes... and he'd get plenty of opportunities to bat with us!

Derby and Leicestershire look pretty weak at WK too.

 

[Jacknife]

Been a good tour so far for the U19's, great experience for them going into the WC. Won 3 out of 3, just need to beat India again then on to the Final hopefully.

Bell Drummond looks to be a certain future England player, along with Foakes,Ball, Topley and one or two others, the future looks good.
