Under 19 World Cup

[cc2003btw]

^ Quality posting once again from Bilal.

Englands U-19s are looking good, even after the Bangladesh tour, and lets face it, they're pretty good. We did well against sri lanka last year, when they toured here, was a good series, watched a few of those ODIs.

Scotland's captain for this tournament, Kasiam Farid, has revealed his excellent knowledge of the differences in conditions between Scotland and Sri Lanka.

He said:

Scotland is cold and Sri Lanka is hot.

No sh*t Sherlock.

 

[Sureshot]

Although iirc Sri Lanka has a higher rainfall due to Monsoon season

looking forward to seeing how Henriques goes

ive heard that he's a quality allrounder

 

[aussie1st]

Hes shown what he can do at the under 19 levels. But lets see it again
Next step will be to show his skills for NSW.

 

[genghis_khan]

yeh it would be great if he got a go with the Blues...he played in the 20/20 tournament i believe....

he has to be better than James Hopes! lol

 

[aussie1st]

Yep and hes played one ING cup match. He took wickets in the 20/20 but ING he only got one over. Even at 18 he would be better than Hopes!

But its so much better for Henriques playing in the under 19 WC as at least he will be batting and bowling in the right position unlike when playing for NSW.

It's shocking that Gibraltar were not able to play in this tournament apparently,despite finishing top of their group and beating Scotland.

Division One is the qualifying tournament.

And the only time Scotland and Gibraltar under 19s have played each other was in 2003, when Scotland won by nearly 200 runs.
