2008 Under-19 World Cup

[Insomniac]

I back Pakistan to win this for the what, umpteenth time?

Actually, I think it will be the 3rd time

West Indies anounced their squad.

Squad
Sharmarh Brooks (capt), Steve Jacobs (vice-captain), Adrian Barath, Nkrumah Bonner, Darren Bravo, Kyle Corbin, Andre Creary, Jason Dawes, Dawnley Grant, Delorn Johnson, Horace Miller, Veerasammy Permaul, Kieran Powell, Devon Thomas, Shacoya Thomas

I think that Barath, Bravo and Dawes will have a good world cup. Dawes is a good fast bowler and i think that he will trouble the batsman in this tournament.

In a game against Sri Lanka today England U19s made 318-6 with Billy Godleman making 123 and we won on D/L. We're playing Pakistan U19s and the Sri Lanka U19s in a pre world cup tournament so it should show us what these 3 sides chances are.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Double post but oh well. Pakistan also beat Sri Lanka today but Sri Lanka put up more of a fight today thank to a quick 62* from their number 10. I don't give Sri Lanka a good chance for the world cup.

 

[Gilly Fan]

James Faulkner IIRC is a talented all rounder, definitely one to look out for.
Googled Josh Hazlewood and one was saying he was similar to Harmy.

Home sick? Bowls wides at the start of important test series? Not happy.

 

[Leicester Fox]

So we beat Pakistan too, things looked really promising. Ben Brown another Sussex keepr saved us with 93* getting us up to 148 after the top order failed abysmally. Get Taylor in therei shwat I would have said. We all bowled well too.

Then we lose to Sri Lanka, Taylor made 43 soit's all good and were new to these conditions I guess and I'm still pleased with our progress so far. Finnhasn't played yet either though so our bowling will improve.

 

[Insomniac]

England's win was a fluke

 

[Cricketdude]

Go Kumar Sutra :happy

 

[Leicester Fox]

England have gone all rubbish after a good start, oh wait they're English, that explains it.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Godleman mustn't be English though he's made another 100 despite us losing and going out of the tournament. Oh well at least he's good, probably will play for England.

[Dare]

West Indies Under-19s beat Bangladesh Under-19s by 74 runs and like i predicted Jason Dawes is already showing that he will be one of the best bowlers in the tournament. He finished with 4/25.

[Animator!]

The actal tournament hasn't begun yet, most of the sides are playing warm-up series. Doesn't start till Mid-Late Febuary. And I believe that Sky Sports are showing it again.
