2016 Under 19 Cricket World Cup

[Immenso]

I remember being disappointed when we hosted in 2009 and got knocked out by the Aussies (including Mitchell Marsh and Hazlewood) in the quarters,

Pretty decent side on paper:
New Zealand Under-19 squad for World Cup announced

Much more depth that the 2008 squad/team.

Curran has a bit of Eoin Morgan about the way he strikes the ball.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

That's a mighty blow

 

[91Jmay]

Good to see them following the time honoured English tradition of collapsing towards end of an ODI innings.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

wow curran getting nice shape

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

moving both ways. serious talent

 

[91Jmay]

Curran is a serious talent isn't he? Strikes the ball nicely, has all the shots and swinging it with great accuracy here. Nice full length as well, Windies staring down the barrel.

He set the batsman like a pro. Bowled away deliveries then bowled one that straightened a bit

Mahmood has some serious gas. 86 MPH.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Lawrence is actually offspinner (?)

 

[91Jmay]

Pope looks really good. Great striker, but good solid technique to pair with it. Bowled well also .

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

England needs a breakthrough now

 

[Gnske]

Like Lawrence's style of bowling, like a dying flamingo twitching violently.

I had no idea Lawrence even bowled. Mason Crane on now if the next batsmen is a righty?

 

[Howe_zat]

Gidron Pope could well play for the West Indies, given that none of them can have the same first name

 

[Gnske]

Disappointed with Crane, the Swanny glasses would be so complemented by a popped collar.

 

[91Jmay]

Crane bowled some really dangerous stuff with the occasional loose ball, bowled a tad better than his figures suggest.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Clinical from England. The team looks like they can progress towards the deep end of the tourney. Dan Lawrence is in good form with the bat. Cullen Taylor plays spin well. Can play those slog sweeps and uses his feet to the spinners. Curran can strike and finish the innings. The bowling department looks strong with Curran swinging up front and Mahmood generating some pace. Good spinning combination in Crane and Taylor (leggie and offie) and Lawrence taking wickets is a bonus.

 

[91Jmay]

Was really worried we'd picked someone named Cullen then. Thankfully he is Callum Taylor. I mean who are we? Australia?
