Need to win easy beats Bahrain U19 today to get into the semis. That's where we'll likely lose to UAE or HK (probs the latter)unfortunately but if we can sneak in a win there it's on to Div 1 and I can make fun of ***** :fap:

The 2 Finalists progress from this tournament here in KL to the next Qualifier. Caught a little action at Kinrara Oval .How many countries advance to the next U 19 WC ? There are less spaces for Qualifiers as ICC tweaked the rules because of some FM's finishing behind Associates at the last WC. Think Nepal may have an automatic slot for example. Anyone know ?

 

[Slippaah]

Rumours of a new Associate T20 tournament in Dubai . No details yet . Positive move if correct .

@***** u going down m8

M8 we've got a guy who looks older than me batting in our middle order. Bring it on.

The HKCA FB page should be live ********* this game.

Beginning of one of the great cricketing rivalries, this. Will be talked about for decades to come.

Great start with the bat in this crucial Semi by Singapore. The opening bowler must be the best Teen ever produced by HK. MOM winner at U 19 level in KL in May 2013 aged 14. At Selangor Turf Club ground ? Only 17 in current 2016 ICC Qualifier .

Has ODI,T20I and First Class match experience too !

 

[Daemon]

Our batting is pretty much over with Rohan and Janak gone. 200 will be a reach from here though not impossible. Will take heart in the fact that two of our best players Shan and Brigu weren't able to play because of exams.

Waqas looks older than me ffs

Waqas looks older than me ffs

I've met him IRL

I thought he played for the senior team. Turns out he was playing U-15s not too long ago...

Oldest looking 17 year old I've ever seen. And he debuted for HK Nat side at the age of 14 by the looks of things.

 

[cnerd123]

Reckon this a chaseable score.

 

[Daemon]

Decent score, would've taken it before the game started. Quite defendable too imo, HK are definitely under pressure here.

Mate the only pressure the HK lads are under is deciding which club they're going to be celebrating the win at tonight

Celebrate with what? Half of them age cheated and are under the legal limit.

 

[Daemon]

One HK U23 member gone, 9 to go.

 

[Daemon]

They've sent a pinch hitter at #3, losing the plot now

 

[cnerd123]

Pinch-hitter just pinch-hit a six. Going okay IMO.

 

[Daemon]

HK crawling along now. 60/3 after 20 and the required run rate has crept up to 5.5. Captain is in now along with the 17 year old Waqas.
