yeah it is, but Australia have Short and Doran to come cause of the ****ed up teams, so its going to take a fair bit of luck for us to bowl them out

Yeah, I liked the fact the Aussies were picking him up late, and that he's beating the top edge of the bat on a late season Lincoln pitch. He's limiting his modes of dismissal by jumping out wide on the crease every time obvs but he's got reasonable control.

No, it doesn't count. I think the last two proper U19 tours I've seen scored on Cricinfo were England vs. South Africa both times, which I guess sums it up pretty well. Everyone else gears their whole program towards the next U19 WC, which provides a very tangible and convenient return on investment metric. This is much easier to record on a high performance balance sheet than some vague and toffy, set the tone pay-off.

I'm starting to judge Buchanan now. I honestly couldnt quite 'place him' before.
But with an NZ A test v India A turned a little farcical by him and Littlejohn wanting to experiment with how 2 bowlers, who will never play another test, and who would never lead the attack if they did - would go leading the attack with no 3rd paceman.
And now this farce of an U19 test.
I realize it's not just Buchanan's decision, and there is another team involved.
But for a guy with a job which is so hard to measure, the few times he is involved with actual matches in the 'develoment' sphere -I've been pretty ****ed off with how they have been run.

Yeah I'm going to have to assume the true intention there was to put a line through Arnel, McKay and Nethula and have a specific game to direct their enquiries to, then crack on with the youngsters next A tour. Likewise the county stint for Nicol tbh.

Puntastic. Given that's a Jewish name, though, such puns will probably be highly inappropriate.

All 30 Wickets, New Zealand U19 vs. Australia U19 - YouTube
Pity Weerasundara struggled with the short stuff and was a bit of an Unmukt Chand with his cut and offside drive bias. A very stylish little bat by Wgtn-raised standards.

Lot of soft wickets given away by the kiwis. Especially in the first innings - only really that brute of a bouncer that got Gibbons seemed worthy of a wicket. I realise some of the later ones were deceleration wickets.
That Fotia bowled a few brutes in the second innings.
Very hard to tell the two blond kiwi bowlers apart, Jamieson and Hunter. Good to see the legspinner Jenkins get a stumping from a googly.
Weerasundera did looks classy/elegant from the shots in that vid.
Fair few leg side strangles, or holing out off full tosses from both sides?

Met Tim Seifert a few times at Seddon Park at matches. (I tend to visit too many matches than I should). He seems like a top bloke and a good prospect. He trained with the ND side this season.
On the subject of top blokes, Jeetan Patel is a right ____. Just putting that out there.

On the Australian side of things, McDermott looked pretty impressive behind the stumps from those dismissals.

Possibly I'm having too high standards here, but my god, there's some appalling dismissals in there for both sides. Just great examples of really, really thick cricket. Getting run out because you've wandered out of your crease, or are practicing the sweep shot you've just hit. Hitting juicy full tosses to fielders. It's just so, so dumb.
The out-to-a-pie dismissal is something that happens far, far too often imo, particularly in youth cricket. If you get a big full toss or a long hop, just hit the ball along the ****ing ground.

Yeah, had a good laugh at some of those dismissals.
A large number of Kohlis and what looked like a couple of dodgy LBW decisions in there as well.
They're young, they'll learn... hopefully.

Big demand to join new training programme | Stuff.co.nz

If he wanted to avoid sharing an employer with his dad, Weerasundara would be a perfect fit for Central Districts tbf. Greek bully Fotia certainly had him pegged as a nice little technically-minded introvert to rough up with short stuff and keep giving a gobful to.
Seemingly discriminated against selection-wise today as well, probably for being a bit too precious and slow, despite the fact this isn't an U19 side you'd say has talent to burn.

That training programme looks interesting. Here is the prospectus.
