Interesting that today when it wasn't to win a game, the WI "mankad" only lead to a warning...

Well done Energetic for single-handedly inducing the entire CW population to cheer against Bangladesh.

Yep I enjoyed it sooo much knowing Energetic was somewhere realising England might not be so overrated after all, I didn't see anyone claiming England would walk into the final as Energetic told everyone Bangladesh would.

Feel a bit sorry for their players though but they have a bright future.

Very disappointed as the boys could not perform when it mattered.

Blame Energetic. The entire ill will of one entire cricket board has never been focused on a single team like it was today.

Some of these WI youths will soon become T20 mercenaries.

There opener Gidron Pope looks hungry for success in T20''s to me

I always read that as "Gridiron Pope", which in turn gives me a weird mental image of American Football being played at the Vatican.

The way he played today looked like his life goal is to get an IPL contract asap.

Nepal v Namibia 7th Place Play Off

From Cricket Europe :

Namibia will be delighted with their performance in this tournament. Not one of the associates reckoned to be in with a chance of reaching the quarter finals, they've ended as the top associate in the tournament. Nepal meanwhile can feel a little hard done by. They've finished ahead of three full members and will have to play regional qualifiers for the next World Cup whilst those three full members along with Australia - who didn't even play this tournament - will get a free pass. So much for the ICC's commitment to meritocratic pathways.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The lack of any quality fast bowler in the team hurt. It's not possible to apply constant pressure with spinners always in all the games. The whole bowling unit was too dependent on Saleh and Mehedi Miraz. Pinak had a terrible tournament and did no justice to his potential. Hope he comes back to scoring and less KFC.

Congratulations to WI for making it to final.

WI's continued excellence in U19 cricket really does highlight how woefully incompetent their board is at developing talent.

doesn't help that the players' greed makes it impossible to fund domestic cricket.

 

[Stace]

I love Sam Curran so much he is gonna be amazing, I hope he can carry on and turn this 50 into a ton.

 

[theegyptian]

England with 4 guys who bowled 84mph or over today - not that it helped them much.

 

[Jono]

Good start by WI. Will be funny if they win the cup after the mankad

 

[vcs]

Come on India.

Can't accuse the Mirpur curator of not throwing the stronger pace nations a bone in this tourney.

 

[vcs]

Lol this is terrible.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Probably should have dropped that.
