***Official*** Under-19 World Cup- South Africa 2024

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stage set for the next generation of cricketers.

Squads

 

[honestbharani]

Some of the Indian boys have already gotten IPL deals. The keeper was picked by CSK. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

 

[Heboric]

Hope CSA has these guys on stand by, seeing as they are expecting trouble according to CSA intelligence

 

[Molehill]

England well beaten by Afghanistan in the first warm up doesn't exactly augur well. India were 171 all out and Aus 53-4 when that match was curtailed by rain.

WI thrashed NZ, as did SL against Bang, maybe they're dark horses?

We have some decent young cricketers in that squad.

We have some decent young cricketers in that squad.

Yeah I'd say this is our strongest team for a while but mainly due to a few outstanding individuals in Johnson, Dorne and Thorne. Looking forward to seeing how they do.

What about the broadcasters? Hope they show it on youtube

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

We have a decent squad this time and expectations are really high this time around. The pace attack is lively and a solid top order. Hoping for the best.

Had the selection being after Coach Bihar Trophy Final, I expect Prakhar Chaturvedi would had been on the squad

For those in the UK, it's on Sky, but on the Mix Channel. They're showing one match a day and I can see there's already WI v SA on Fri and Eng v Sco on Sat lined up.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

WillowTV in the USA will be showing it

 

[Aidan11]

I see Namibia have a Durham Academy lad in their squad - Jack Brassell.

I'll be keeping an eye on his progress.

 

[Molehill]

A few rained off matches in the final round of warm ups. But of those completed, India comfortably beat SL, England beat Pakistan in a close one and Australia were stuffed by Bangladesh.

I suspect if anyone manages to beat India then they will win it. Starts tomorrow....

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This starts today. Stick it to top please

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

South Africa boys are kicking our behinds.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Norton looks like a giant

South Africa boys are kicking our behinds.

At 145-6 with 15 overs to go, SA looked to be in trouble....but 285 looks far too imposing now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Runs are flowing. Our run rate is insane. The wickets down is a worry tho.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This starts today. Stick it to top please

Ditto.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ahaha, the keeper takes his pads off and is now bowling off spin
