Under 19 quadrangular tournament in India

[Third_Man]

England under 19s lost their first 50 over game against the India under 19 B side. India have two sides in the tournament.

Lost in 26 overs by 7 wickets. Following in their seniors footsteps?

England u19s recently lost to Australia u19s in a series played in England

While Australia obviously had some good young players, it also had a few ordinary ones so the results didn’t say much for the standard of the English team

They should call it a square tournament.

English cricket is well and truly dead

I blame the Hundred.

Yeah, saw a bit of that series. The England side there wasn't that impressive. Australia have a few good young batting talents, but the bowling (fast bowling especially) looked not super flash.

Suspect India are just really strong though, as has been standard for the last few U19WC cycles

There’s very few young quicks around

Somehow India B today managed to beat the previously unbeated India A to ensure that, on NRR, the B team managed to qualify for the final against India A

Jadyn Denly's had a good run in this tournament. Last five innings (newest to oldest) are 0, 0, 2, 50 and 0. In the game against India B, four of the first five batters got ducks.

Are Haydon Mustard (great name) and Mitchell Killeen both sons of Durham players? Because Dale Benkenstein's lad is also in the squad, so as long as you're the son of a former Durham player and can hold a bat, you're in.

Yes to Haydon and Mitchell.

In the last U19 World Cup, Sky showed the odd highlight from previous tournaments. What was noticeable was that each winning team seemed to have 3 or 4 players who went on to be famous (seem to remember a young Hazlewood playing in one team), and a lot that you'd never heard of.

England made the final of the last World Cup, a couple of players have kicked on from that in Rehan and Rew.....a few others loitering in County teams without doing a lot. It seems to me that U19 success doesn't obviously equate to the future of National teams.

There’s an U19 winning captain who’s now playing professional cricket in the US. Definitely doesn’t equate to future success though it’s a good indicator.

Decent knock from Sarfraz’s brother in the final

13 sixes lol. Fair to say he’s following in his brother’s footsteps.

Watched a bit of the 2018 WC in New Zealand

Quite a few are playing FC now but only Shubman Gill is an established international from the names I recognise

India was far & away the best team but their 2 standout quicks are crocked & have hardly played since

Bartlett was Australia's great white fast bowling hope at the time but he's also had injury problems.

However, team also included Sutherland & Edwards who have established themselves as fc bowlers

You'll find quite a few test cricketers if you go back through the years but many arent heard of again as junior cricket doesn't seem to be the most reliable indicator of fast bowling potential

Dravid mentioned that as long as his U19 charges became good enough to play Ranji, that was his parameter of success. I really hope with this recent churn of coaches and all, the entire pathways he basically built from U19 to NCA to A team to Nationals (IPL is its own thing) is not forgotten is kept going, even if it is not improved.

I think that's all you can really hope for, and if a couple end up being Internationals then it's a bonus. Cricketers mature at different ages and it seems most Internationals don't come through this pathway. Shane Warne was still trying to be an Aussie Rules player at this time!!

In 2018 England u19s were in the 7th place play off, so not succesful at that world cup. Beat New Zealand (Rachin Ravindra and Fin Allen)
Team included Harry Brook, Will Jacks and Tom Banton. Jack Davies will be given a proper chance at Middlesex this year with Simpson moving on.
