That's a **** ground. Don't understand why they couldn't go over to the Sir Viv Stadium.

Yeah I have high hopes for Freak Jr Harvey to have a big tournament, he's been around a while now for someone still so young, probably a touch unlucky not to play the last U19 World Cup. He was alright in the BBL, a touch inconsistent but the experience should aguer well for him going forward.
Speaking of the BBL, I saw Sangha got a Thunder contract. From what I've seen he can certainly give the ball a fair rip

Bird still trying to find his feet after his rugby injury and Parsons recovering from injury. The 2 players this SA u19 team has been massively reliant on with the bat.
Batsmen of Coke Week, Luke Beaufort, has had an ok u19 career but he looks to be in good nick & a leader and confident with his game getting to 50. He looks to be one to watch.
Jack Lees and Merrick Brett look like 2 really good late additions to the squad though. Someone like Tiaan van Vuuren has disappointed. Obviously the other batsmen that have been used in this cycle too.
Imagine Cloete and Brett will provide good quick bowling support to the star Coetzee.

Yes I quite liked my first impression of Merrick Brett as well.
If India is just getting onto the precipice of turning this tourney into the U17 Basketball World Cup, can we please split them into a North, South, East and West of India? I know PM Narendra Modi would probably prefer unity, but the sponsors might like the idea of 60 talented Indian kids being at each tournament, rather than just 15.
Pretty gutsy effort from the Aussies in 2014 there.

Massively poor. Thinking about doing an article on this for a website I've just been asked to write for. Certain issues need to be aired out there. 6 years of dismal results makes you wonder why there hasn't been more questions asked. Ray Jennings set up a successful way of doing things that made us dominant team at this level and his last game in charge left us as world champions.

Like the senior team, its not until things come to a head. And brought to light that things will be done. Public don't really know , so the administrations continues without impediment. Definitely do an article and hopefully it get broad attention.

Oh it's the little fish who are getting this U19 Quad Series' first run around on the big ground with live video from Kingsmead. NZ vs. Zim.

SA and India are at Chatsworth today. Surprising that Cricket South Africa haven't yet gone down the NZC and West Indies' route of laying on commentary and higher production values whenever India U19 or India A are in town, with an eye to those sweet view counts.

Whatever muppet at CA is responsible for not organising any actual proper games for Australia before the tournament needs to be taken to a dark room and beaten

Interesting they backed Jono Bird's chinamen in the power-play. Was really intrigued too see so many wrist spinners at our recent u19 Nationals too. The final between EP and WP had 4 (2 each).

Thanks for sharing this. Just tuned in with NZ 7 down for about 150 with 12 overs to go. Dickson then Lidstone both holed out off the spinners leaving the final pair to knock it around and try salvage some respectability. Lidstone at least was on 56 when he departed. The non-selection of the Wellington opener who scored 4 tons in the tournament before Christmas might have been a mistake.
