New Zealand Cricket - Welcome
Trans-Tasman rivalry is set to be re-ignited on Sunday when the New Zealand U-19 side takes on its Australian counterpart in the quarter-finals of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup at Mainpower Oval, Rangiora.
New Zealand advanced through to the quarter finals with relative ease after victories over Canada, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka – New Zealand finishing top of the Group C after accounting for Sri Lanka in the final group game thanks to a top all-round team performance.
New Zealand’s top order has been in fine form, with Harry Boam amassing 172 runs while only being dismissed once. He has been well supported by Tom Latham, Jimmy Neesham and Corey Anderson. Neesham has been a dominant force in the New Zealand top order, taking apart every bowling attack he has faced up to. Neesham says he would like to convert some of his starts into a bigger score.
“It’s been good to have a couple of good starts early on and get a few runs under the belt,” he said. “But obviously it would have been nicer to have gone on and get a bigger score in one of them but hopefully that will come in one of the next few games.”
One problem for the Kiwis could be a lack of batting time for some of the middle order batsmen, with captain Craig Cachopa having two small cameos, while Logan Van Beek and cousins Michael and Doug Bracewell yet to make it to the crease. Neesham believes lack of time in the middle won’t hinder his side’s chances.
“We know we have a couple of quality batsmen down the order, they have obviously been getting some quality bowling in the nets from our seamers, so hopefully that is enough for them to be prepared for Australia”.
Australia has played three group matches in Queenstown, winning two against Associate sides Ireland and USA, but tripping up against a strong South African side. The Australians have some famous names in their squad with the likes of Mitch Marsh, son of Rod and brother of Shaun, Alister McDermott son of former Australian quick bowler Craig.
Neesham says while the Australians are a good side they hold no fears for the young Kiwis.
“We have had a look at a few of their batsmen on the video analysis, and there isn’t anyone in their side that we’re afraid of, so as long as we play to our plans things should fall into place for us”.

I've been impressed with quite a few players in the tournament but I'm still undecided if the quality of cricket is better than the 2008 WC. I've been impressed with Vince and Stokes from England especially.
I'm going to see my Saffer boys tonight and it will be good to judge them to the last side. Over the years we've had some very good sides. In 2000 we had Smith, Puttick, Rudolph, Trott, A.Morkel and Botha in the same side and then 2002 Hash Amla was captain and McLaren was one of the best bowlers in the tournament. 2004 and 2006 were dry years, Only really Vd Merwe in 2004 and Elgar/Parnell/Kieswetter in 2006. Obviously the 2008 team was multi-talented as well and should have won the WC and Parnell/Vandiar & Rossouw were the main men.
The men who have shone and have the big reputations in SA are

The men who have shone and have the big reputations in SA are
- Josh Richards Probably best gloveman there and skipper
- Dominic Hendricks Pocket-sized LH opener who is thick in the runs
- Colin Ackermann The future middle order player for the Proteas
- Kirk Wernars Big burly all-rounder who is quite quick
- Dale Deeb Spinning all-rounder dubbed as the future SA spinner
- Graham Hume Accurate swing bowler having a good WC

Hope so mate. Would be great to see the WI with a quality fast bowling attack again.Wow Jason Holder got 5/19 which is the best total in the whole competition thus far, and just before he left for this contest he played his first game for Barbados and got 2/21, to my fellow Windie fans it looks like we might have another Roach in our ranks!!

Australia win the toss and choose to bat, reckon the Kiwi's would have bowled anyway.
Duckworth-Lewis to make a cameo.
EDIT: Oy WTF, isn't this on TV? FFS, they televise England vs HK but not this. That's really poor.

6 9 I heard. What's more, I doubt he's finished growing
Wow. How tall is Holder?

Chris Harris was saying during that 20/20 game on Friday that this pitch is suppose to be a road and he expects big scores to be racked up, so hopefully we can keep then under 250.

These are the best scorecards I've found btw. Shame about these games not being televised.

He was in the crowd at a televised 20/20 match a few weeks ago and Grant Elliott interviewed him. Elliott asked how tall he was and he said 6'6". I think Elliott was a bit taken aback by this, as Holder looked more like 6'8" or 6'9"- if he really is only 6'6" than Elliott (who I think is about 6'1" or 6'2") would be sub 6 foot, because Holder absolutely towered him. He then asked Holder how fast he was and Holder said "oh, I'm only a medium-pacer", so maybe he's just a very modest kid.
