Thanks so much for the opportunity. Over the moon with those first-innings wickets, and quite clearly my poor second-innings bowling was due to my tiredness from quite possibly the best 25 off 64 ever. No boundaries. 
Big win, our batsmen were superb and all the bowlers kicked in. Great team effort, good luck in the one-dayers.

C'mon the young lads, give 'em Hell.
A little disappointed not to be selected but Im not the best OD player and the disappointment comes from the honour of representing your country at any level and not from disrespect for the guys involved.
Congrats to all selected and good luck.

tbh only just realised i was selected in the A team at all. Reason was that I didn't think that I'd get a crack at representative FC cricket again. But thankfully I got a go. Unfortunate to lose the series but happy to play in the squads only test match success of the tournament. It was good to go close to the hundgie as well

Cricket Web U-19 v England A
Cricket Web Under-19s v England A
at Goffmouth Park
The England A team were truly shown up at Goffmouth, as a Cricket Web youth team exposed all England's problems in the one-day game. Toothless, inaccurate bowling was punished by four brutal batsmen, and the batsmen were out to injudicious shotmaking. Not to take anything away from the U-19s, however, who performed stunningly. Thamba Mamesh had seemingly forgotten his woeful one-day season, playing a wonderful if restrained innings of 74, and putting on a stand of 173 with Shan Jasotharan for the first wicket. When Saj Mahmood and Stuart Broad managed to get their breakthroughs, the U-19s threw more at them - with Matt Pitt hitting a 33-ball 48 without a single boundary, due to Vikram Solanki having seven men on the ropes at times.
When England A batted, it was a different story. Although the bowling was taken for runs, Rob Key in particular couldn't score quickly enough, and when his batting partner Alastair Cook inside edged a slower ball from Colin Benjamin, a rot began. Solanki and Loudon tried to rescue the innings with a gritty stand, but it was broken when Solanki slogged to Ben Vaughan at midwicket, and Callum McKern sliced through the lower order to leave Chris Read and Jon Lewis to hit 38 for the win in the last two overs. Though Lewis tried, taking 13 (including two byes) off the five balls he faced off Rich Edmunds, they needed 24 off the last over, and Callum McKern ensured that wouldn't happen by bowling a varied last over that went for four.
Cricket Web U-19 276 for 2 (50 overs)
England A 257 for 9 (50 overs)
Cricket Web U-19 won by 19 runs
Man of the Match: Shan Jasotharan

Rumours persist that Pitt is now house-sharing Wayne Rooney's oxygen tent.

Just a reminder to the captains et al about the schedule, which has changed from the FC games:
Since no Colts team has been named, I'm going to wait for 12 hours to sim that, and then come back to the schedule by simming the Black v Eng A game in the late hours.
Code:
May 16 CW Colts v England A 1-day Goffmouth Park
May 17 CW Black v England A 1-day Pickford Reserve
May 19 CW A v England A 1-day PDV Dome
May 20 CW Blue v England A 1-day PDV Dome
May 21 CW Red v England A 1-day CW Oval
May 22 CW A v England A 1-day CW Oval
May 24 CW Green v England A 1-day CWBCC Stadium
May 25 CW A v England A 1-day CWBCC Stadium
