At least it wasn't Nepal. Ho hum.
Now we get to get mullered by Bangladesh in the Quarters and to find ourselves in the same embarrased, sinking boat as Australia last time around.

Quote of the year by England Captain:
"All we can do is to go out there and give it everything and maybe Bangladesh might underestimate us."
Surely some mistake? Not at Under-19 level it isn't. England's captain, Moeen Ali, isn't exactly optimistic about his side's prospects of reaching the semi-finals of the U19 World Cup.

He wasn't being anti-Nepal - it's just that there were penalties on the line that Neil would have had to pay if England had lost to them.TIF said:I just cant understand why is Neil so anti-NepalI am waiting for the day when Nepal beats England in cricket and it will be interesting to see Neils reaction on that.

I'm not anti-Nepal at all - I picked them out four years ago as ones to watch for the future (see here, here and here).TIF said:I just cant understand why is Neil so anti-Nepal
My sole point (and a correct one at that) was that they're not yet good enough to be termed "favourites". Now that this slightly brain-dead avatar challenge is over, I can get back to supporting them all the way to the Plate final.

I see your point and have found out that your are not anti-Nepal. The point was that after India, I decided to support Bangladesh and Nepal for the u-19 world cup and with Nepal is a "easy" group, I thought that Nepal had a good chance to top their group, thats why I called Nepal as Pool D favourites. But yes, Nepal are coming up and should win or finish in the top 5 in the ICC Trophy(world cup qualifiers) in 2009 and qualify for the 2011 world cup and get ODI status. They do have many youngsters coming up and 1 of their batsmen, Kanishka Chaugai has impressed me. I have seen him in action way back in 2003 when he played a useful knock of 40-something against India in the 3rd ODI of the 3 match series played in 2003. When Nepal do get into international cricket, Chaugai will be the surprise package just like JB Burger was for Namibia.Neil Pickup said:
I do hope that Nepal beat New Zealand and South Africa and wins the plate championship. Nepal, have beaten South Africa in the last u-19 world cup and can do it again this time. They came close to beat Zimbabwe and the only problem for Nepal has been their batting in the last 10 overs, which should get corrected if they play more matches.
