BD won the toss and will bat first

Galiem getting some away movement

I'm surprised that the Fijian team is made up of ethnic Fijians. I thought most of the players would be ethnically Indian.

I gather from friends Fijian Indians tend to be more in to football than cricket.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Pinak has some striking power

 

[hendrix]

Yeah all the Fijian Indian guys I know aren't really into cricket.

7 overs on the trot for Galiem

I didn't know that but I guess Roy Krisna is pretty decent. I wonder if Vijay Singh ever swung a cricket bat?

 

[Kippax]

Yeah he did.

"When we were kids we couldn't afford golf balls so we had to make do with coconuts. My father used to say, 'Little Vijay, golf balls don't fall off trees you know,' so I found some that did!" Growing up, he played snooker, cricket, football, and the island's most popular sport, rugby.

Been a good start. Not much movement but good discipline from our batting all-rounders with the ball. Now we will have Sipamla hopefully strike & we have offie Philander + the beautiful SLA spinner Whitehead. If we need a 6th bowler it will be little seamer Willie Ludick.

Pinak looked like a seasoned pro & the way Shanto started he looks to have a bit about him.

Whitehead looks impressive with the amount of turn & bounce he gets as SLA

England could make their best ever under 19 s score here if the get more than 315. Currently 225/1 after 37 overs.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This partnership is looking dangerous. SA needs to break it now as batting runs deep down

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

12th half century with 1 century for Nazmul Shanto in his youth odi career

 

[Howe_zat]

Lawrence and Burnham just had the first ever 300+ partnership in under 19s world cups. Highest ever individual score for Lawrence with 174.

the 'woo' at the end is so good

Very orthodox but lovely action. Piedt is quite young but for variation it will be great to have a SLA. He can bat too.

Can see why this Bangladesh team is so highly rated just by looking at 2 or 3 of your batsmen.

Tell me about this offie that has doosra up his sleeve ?
