*Official* Under 19 World Cup 2020

[Kippax]

Yes if you're on a PC then dragging the video right back in the overs and using the keyboard letters j (back 10s) and l (forward 10s) is quite a useful and time-saving way to watch ball-by-ball cricket on YouTube.

Here's the link to India v SA that they actually ended up putting the game on -

 

[Kippax]

We thought he might enjoy the pitches, but the 125k bounce bowling bully boy method isn't really paying any dividends for O'Rourke, away from all those lower quality batsman he could get big on at the NZ domestic tourney.

 

[Kippax]

Ashok's wrong 'un actually grabbing for him a bit more away from NZ, as was hoped.

 

[SeamUp]

Michael Booth seems to be ignored by SA and with him not selected for Zimbabwe you got to think he may try his luck in England. The spinner Michael Frost is also a fellow Zimbabwean at Hilton who played for KZN Inland at Nationals but he is in the Dolphins u19 Cubs side that start the Cubs Week tomorrow. Zimbabwe really have no chance if they can't keep these players. Good to see them have Madhevere who also schooled in KZN.

 

[SeamUp]

The 3 that signed for IPL teams Jaiswal (attacking opener), Garg (scored a 100 today) and Bishnoi (leg-spinner) are the "run-of -the-mill freakish talents" India have at every ICC U19 World Cup.

 

[SeamUp]

Looked a nice close game between New Zealand and the Zimbo's.

Bryce Parson's has to do something special to get SA close.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hope we have a few decent players, they might be needed in the summer.

Bryce Parson's has to do something special to get SA close.

Unfortunately he got a quick fifty and out... seems to have bowled well as well though.

Too many balls eaten up by the opener and then if Bird doesn't get going wickets keep falling.

But I really like the look of Parsons - the ability to score quickly looks natural for him. That often something that stands out at this level.

He bowled and batted well in India too. Interesting that Bird is bowling his chinamen so well. Batsmen capable of bowling good spin in limited overs cricket is priceless.

 

[Rasimione]

Why was Ruan Terrblanche not selected? I'd say we're a batter lite.

[Kippax]

Oh god they're absolutely terrorising NZ's young agribusinessmen with short stuff already. I always knew Wellington's Vishvaka was robbed by the "multi-skilled" preference for Keene.

 

[Kippax]

Stop getting so pumped about NZ U19 top-order wickets, Khumalo. It was a ball that would've got stronger opposition out though, I suppose.

 

[TT Boy]

Going by the YouTube footage, the two South African quicks have some pace about them - rushing the New Zealand batsman. Cloete looks a handful.

 

[TT Boy]

Looks like Cloete is wearing ankle swingers and he has a very interesting run up and action.

 

[Ryan19]

Two run outs are going to hurt - both as a result of slow scoring.

 

[jcas0167]

Stop getting so pumped about NZ U19 top-order wickets, Khumalo. It was a ball that would've got stronger opposition out though, I suppose.

Impressed the SA keeper stood up to Khumalo after Sunde struggled to get bat on ball. He looks rapid.

Nice little salvage job by Sunde and the impressively named Beckham Wheeler-Greenall.

Our lads nearly lost to Zimbabwe and lost to South Africa yesterday. I don't expect our lads to come back with the world cup but hoping there are going to be 2 or 3 good players recognized from the tourney for future honours.
