*Official* Under 19 World Cup 2020

Julien is a talent

And Hazlewood bowled at around 130 in this tournament at the same age.

Near 140 is plenty quick enough.

I feel most bowers add about 5kph from their 19 days once they get stronger and fitter.

Sully is a 140+ bowler when he’s older.. He had a nice action and nipped it a bit.

He might not be a Cummins, but he might be another Neser as an example.

Anyway, Cummins is what 25? Cameron Green is also only 20, and is definitely the best up and coming quick in Australia.


Sangha was definitely the most impressive. His action looks quite a bit like Rashid Kahn’s

Good call on the Sully/Neser comparison

As I said, not trying to be too critical as they’re just youngsters

What are Australia, England and the West Indies doing in the same group? Seems rough on Nigeria.

Also has any Nigeria cricket team ever qualified for anything? Good for them.

 

[Neil Young]

Andy Flower as a commentator?

Soporific doesn't even begin to describe him.

I think seedings are derived from the final placings in the previous U19 World Cup.

New Zealand were at home, so they scored a good number of runs early in the tournament and managed to tip the West Indies into the Plate. The West Indies lost the Plate final to Sri Lanka, took 10th place.

Most of the West Indians are built like men

Most of the English and Australians have much more growing to do

And Nigerians ?
Those guys are normally big . In soccer the Nigerians always push us aside because of their size.

“Not a bad bowler if he’s really 19”

Looks 5 years older than batsmen

England falling under the pressure.

Nyeem Young with the double strike.

 

[Neil Young]

Great to see the Windies doing well. Looks to be some very good players in that side.

Boy, that Julien guy ain't half gobby, though.

Yep I wish he would tone it down a little bit. Still, he's going to be a hell of a player so we might have to get used to it at international level also.

Naeem Young will quite rightly get the plaudits for this win, but I was most heartened to see Kevlon Anderson bat so responsibly throughout the innings to provide a platform for Young to accelerate and also Jayden Seales who already looks the part with 140kph plus pace, accuracy and hostility. Great stuff.

Very proud of our guys. To top the group that includes England and Australia and all the millions of £££ they put into youth development is a great achievement. Hopefully they can carry this into the knockout phase also.

Forde's got one of the safest pair of hands I have even seen.
He catches them good.

I honestly couldn't believe that our boys are this good.
I knew Nedd was top class, but the pacers have outshone him.
Good signs for Windies cricket. Gone are the days of Darren Powell and Lionel Baker.

What we now need is a left arm fast bowler.

Ramon Simmonds is a quick left armer and he's in this squad. Great times!

I don't think the Windies win against Aus had much to do with superior development or talent, it had alot to do with the ball bouncing off of feet and limbs to dismiss their top order whilst backing up.

From what I saw, that Aus side beats that Windies side 9/10 matches they play again. Like I've said in this thread, there's some real elite talent in this edition of the Aus side.
It also helped that their most destructive bat also strangled one for a golden duck right after those run outs.


But thats cricket sometimes.

It will be interesting to see how the WI go in the finals.

Sets up an Aus vs India semi if Aus beat England.

They were showing stats of number of international U19 each country played between last world cup and this. Naturally sub continent teams had the most. SL lead the ladder with 31 games, India 30, England fairly close to that number.

New Zealand has played 11 (majority at home) and West Indies a meager 6.

The West Indian batting looks good, they are free flowing and despite the lure of the T20s round the corner they played proper cricket shot barring the no.4 that wanted to bring up 100 in 40 balls. Didn't watch the Aussies bat.

No offence but India looked just all right, nothing extra ordinary. Last edition Indian team was absolute gun. Excellent in all facets of the game.

Last edition team was a bit of an outlier though, they were head and shoulders above the rest of the team and didn't even sweat in any of the games.

australia seems to be producing more sour blokes than you'd expect these days

Indeed. It's ok, I'll wait patiently from the comfort of the quarter finals whilst this elite Aussie side tries to avoid the plate competition.
