Because, like the Irish rugby team, the Irish cricket team represent the whole of the Emerald Isle. As such, they play all over the island, too.

Hollands U19 team is about as good as Scotlands U19 team. I think they should play.

That'd be the way they got bowled out for 92 and lost in 22.2 overs against Scotland, then?

(and don't use the we didn't have Kervezee argument, cos he is going to be in CWLand during this tour)

[Kweek]

because thats team is of last year? and the team that we have this year is diffrent from that one ? and the team we have this year did challange the U17's of last year(more so then this squad anyway) and some talented kids in that squad ! (and i'd know eh:P )

The U17 squad included Kervezee. No wonder it challenged.

haha true.
talking about Kervezee, there was something about him in the paper, some important dutch guy saying: Kervezee is the dutch Donald Bradman :O how stupid is that to say about a 16 year old kid, he already is a bit arrogant, this might worsen it :/

As a result of infromation obtained from the CWLand Births and Deaths Office, here is an updated Players' List

On the website it has Matt Smith listed as 18, but from my investigations he made his debut at the ripe old age of 27. If he likes to consider himself for Under 19 selection or not, can he confirm which as accurate.

[chaminda_00]

Scotland and Ireland were chosen over Holland and Denmark, as they were the top two Under 19s sides from Europe over last 12 months. As well as the fact that Holland will be playing CW XI at the time, we felt it was more important, for the other countries to get competitive matches.

They're rioting in the streets of Riga. ICC overlooking the little guys yet again.

Hey tharmi, I'm not on that list, and I'm under 19. IRL and in the sim. I started at 16, and this'll be my third season.

Your 20 in CW years, thats all i know...

Most of the guys on the list have only played one or two seasons...

So, there was a group birthday, and everyone's a year older than the last U/19 tour?

Or is it done by our actual birthdates?

Group, is probably the best way to explain it. Liam just told us that as Season X finished everyone is a year older.

OK, just wondering, as previously I think I'd been told otherwise.

Thanks to the U/19 board for bestowing me the honour of U/19 captain last tour, and good luck to the next player to take on the role.
