Under-19 World Cup 2018

Nagarkoti is bowling at decent pace. I hope they don't spoil him by making him bowl in pointless games.

What a find Prithvi Shaw is. Full confidence in Dravid and our team to crack this one.

It was pretty heartening to see both Mavi and Nagarkotti bowling. Mavi was bowling in early 140's and Nagarkoti was bowling mid to high 140's consistently. The best part was that they both were pretty accurate most of the time. This is good to see from 19 year old. I also liked the look of Porel but thought he was bowling a bit too short. Hopefully they keep the consistency going.

Good win for Enland, complete domination. Canada look solid but with 150 required in 20 overs ghey have a lot to cover up.

If anyone thinks that all of Afghanistan's players are actually aged 19 or under, they need to consult an optician

Just confirmed Zahir Khan, Yousuf Zazai are both 19 + some days. Is that officially allowed? What is the age criteria?

"The age of the player is not determined during the world cup. It is determined on 1st of September before the world cup. E.g. For ICC U19 World Cup 2018 the age of the players was determined based on 1st September 2017. That means any player must be under 19 on 1st Sept. 2017 to be qualified."

I was referring to age fudging. It's a common practice in the remote northern areas of Pakistan and in Afghanistan (Afridi, etc.)

8.5 overs, 3 maidens, 15 runs, SIX wickets! Wow!!! What an awesome spell of bowling by Shaheen Afridi. Pakistan smash through Ireland who loose the second match now in the WC. Well played after the defeat against Afghanistan.

 

[CerealKiller]

Completely dominating performance here. Need to beat SL now.
Muhammad Zaid, Rohail Nazir, Hasan Khan, Mohammad Taha and of course Shaheen Afridi are players to watch.
Ammad Alam was also picked by Karachi in the last PSL, i think. A product of their talent hunt.

Afghanistan well on their way for a second victory and this time aginst Sr Lanka. So proud of the young boys.

Jiveshan Pillay was given out obstructing the field ! Ridiculous decision. Poor guy.

From cricbuzz-

Jarion Hoyte to Jiveshan Pillay, out Obstructing the field!! Slashes at a wide one and almost chops it back onto the stumps. The ball takes the inside edge, deflects off the pad and rolls tantalizingly close to the off-stump. Looks like the keeper has made an appeal on 'handling the ball to the umpire.' To be fair, Pillay collected the ball once it stopped rolling and tossed it back to Stewart, who appealed to the umpire. The ball was still when he gathered it. Can't believe the Windies, of all teams, have appealed for this. The on-field umpires get together and refer it upstairs as the players wait in anticipation. It 'could be obstructing the field as well,' as my colleague Akshay points out, It has been four minutes 30 seconds thus far and we are still waiting for some substance from the TV umpire. On air commentators Tom Moody and Anjum Chopra aren't pleased one bit with it, and guess what we have a decision and it is not a desirable verdict. Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. This is such a shame to the spirit of cricket.
