Just noticed a Pakistani player, Usman Khawaja in the Australian team. Is this a first to see a sub-continental player play for Australia at any level?

Bangladesh U-19 won by 4 wicket against Pakistan U-19. That's great. They are through to the quarter final for the first time in history.

Didn't they make it last time?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Didn't they make it last time?

No, they finished 9th - winning the Plate Competition and defeating Australia in the final.

 

[marc71178]

Oh that's it, knew they'd done something good.

So Australia were actually beaten by another smaller nation as well then?

They must've needed Jack.

[Kweek]

Pah. That's just an urban myth Satan's wife tells their children to stop them ever wanting to go to Australia (as if they would in the first place.)




The global warming bit's true, though.

If he decreased global warming, he must be a pirate and have been touched by the FSM's Noodly Appendage yar.

Stands to reason - and if you disagree with me, I have this to say...
