Well done guys and great series, i guess it time to do the man of the series votes. Anyone can vote regardless whether you were in the sqaud or not. Also you can't vote for yourself. Its also only the matches against England U19s, i wont have time to update the archives, so you just have to go through the thread to find the matches. My votes are:
3. Thamba Mamesh
2. Shan Jasotharan
1. Andy Cameron
EDIT: Just one change the matches against Ireland and Scotland count, so there is a change to my votes. I guess its probably a better indication of who was best on tour, as England weren't much better then the other two

Benjamin jumps over Cameron due to better performances against England. Jasotharan and Burke stiff to miss out.
Mamesh well on the way to having an U/19 Best Player award named after him...

Well done to the whole team for great series, pretty much everyone contributed well to the clean sweep the Youth ODIs. Lets keep it going into the Youth Tests, just wondering Hakon is it 4 days or 5 days.
Here is my MVPs:
3. Colin Benjamin: Did a brilliant effort in the all the matches during the middle order to keep things tight. There was a few games were the batsmen were starting take control, but he pulled them back really well. Pretty easy to captain a side when your bowlers do what you ask them to do.
2. Andy Cameron: Some brilliant spells at the start of the innings to really put the opposition on the back footback. Really lead from the front when it came to bowling and made it a lot easier for the inexperience guys at the other end. Hopefully he continues guiding our bowling attack in the Youth Tests.
1. Shan Jasotharan: Probably the easiest guy to bat with, you don't have to worry too much about you run rate, as he just smacks all the bowlers around the park. Pretty consistant series at the top of the order and laid the platform for the guys down the order. Showing some good signs also off the field, with a more team oriented attitude, hopefully he can continue it throughout the tour and into next season. So his performances on the field are the ony thing that matter when it comes to selection for senior national teams.

England Under-19 v Cricket Web Under-19
at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
The first morning of this game at Sophia Gardens set the tone of the match, as Cricket Web won the toss, raced to lunch with 184 runs up on the scoreboard, and simply didn't mind the fact that England's leading bowler, spinner White, had taken two of the four wickets to fall. Cricket Web Under-19 were brutal, rapid, and forceful in making their runs, with the possible exception of Andy Cameron; the seamer did his best impression of Jason Gillespie in a dour, but impressive 58, before he inside edged a slower ball from seamer Andrew Miller in the fading light. It didn't matter; with a belligerent Matt Pitt on the other end, who followed up his one-day century with a magnificent 148 not out, the eighth-wicket partnership recorded 178, as the England bowlers were frustrated to their wits' end. Miller picked up another wicket to go away with the most, but White was the bowler to offer the most consistent threat - however, his leg-spinners were not turning enough to give Cameron difficulty, while Pitt chose to dispatch him by aiming to hit every ball out of sight.
With the first innings over and 431 runs to play with, the Cricket Web seamers got a good start, as the hosting side's batsmen took the opposite approach to batting. It nearly worked: after nine overs, England U-19 were 11 for nought, but Cameron got a wicket in his seventh over of a testing opening spell and second change bowler Rich Edmunds then claimed the scalp of England's number three Nelson for 11. With opener Stoneman finally gone to an extraordinarily quick delivery from Harry Warwick, England were down - but, as Moeen Ali and Rory Hamilton-Brown proved, not out. It took several incisive bowling changes before Mamesh found the right combination, with McKern shattering Hamilton-Brown's stumps in the 60th over - after 35 overs without wickets. Still, Ben Wright proved almost as unsurmountable, while Ali kept being in control of the bowlers at the other end. The two put on 78 to leave England in a good position at 261 for 5, but their tail were not nearly as resilient as the Webheads, and after a brief cameo from Mullaney the hosts collapsed to Cameron - who claimed five for 88 to go with the first-innings half-century.
Ali was last out, going back for a second run which was never there in order to protect the No. 11 Miller, and then followed carnage. The visitors, having a good lead to play with, decided to play their natural game - which was of the one-day variety. Of the double-digit scores, Matt Currie's 37 was the slowest - off 52 deliveries - while Nick Scott, Ben Vaughan and Shan Jasotharan all smacked runs at will. Needless to say, they were all caught, as England bowled their opponents out in a mere 37 overs...while conceding 201 more runs in the process. The bowling changes then did the rest of the trick, as both McKern, Edmunds and Currie claimed wickets in their first overs, and Currie continued to get slightly flattering figures of 4-1-6-4, though he kept dropping opponents as if to make the point that he wanted the five-for. Despite the drops, the hosts were all out for 157, and the Webheads kept up their impressive run during this tour: played six, won six.
