I see a likely Semi Final meeting between India and Bangladesh , while the other one looks likely to be Australia V Pakistan .

Not sure yet, seems like England playing good cricket too.

BAN U19 53/3 Over -18

Windies under 19 - are getting blown out of the junior World Cup by India U-19 who seem headed for a 300 Plus score - 1 /154 after 24 overs !!

 

[JASON]

SL U-19 not capable of matching the senior Team against Australia , it seems.

4/62 after 19 overs.

Jack - 2-1-1-0

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).

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.

Thanks Neil.
I feel Nepal still need a lot of exposure at the International Level and should play more against Indian state level.
No doubt the under 19 team is very talented and more than 50% of them is on senior side which is going to Namibia in couple of months for Intercontinental tournament.
They also need a bit of luck, which does not seem to be on thier side on crucial moments.

Yep. That would be very useful..

Is King Gayanendra a cricket fan or follower ?

SL Under 19's staging a mini recovery lead by PDMA Cooray 42 not out

5/136 after 36 overs. Moises Henriques seems like a very good allrounder in Aus U-19 ranks. They (SL u-19) need to see his overs through . He has taken 3/18 off 6.2 overs.

JP McNamara 0/31 off 8 overs ATM.

 

[JASON]

Bugger !!!

JP McNamara takes the wicket of Cooray who was rebuiding the SL innings..!!

 

[Pratters]

Jack - 9.4-1-37-2

 

[Neil Pickup]

BD all out 155 - now all England need to do is not bat like seven year olds for the first time this tournament. Come on boys!

 

[aussie]

top all-round performance by the much talked about Moises Henriques 4 wickets opening the bowling & a blistering 70 odd to win the game for Australia, it will be interesting to see how he moves up the ranks in the coming years. Also good to see Jacko doing well...

 

[James90]

Bangladesh had a 11-0 record over England coming into this game but managed to lose it by 5 wickets.

 

[Rosh]

I'll ask him and let you know.

Well played Jack, well played Australia - and of course well played England.

So those who had a good old laugh at them losing to Zimbabwe yesterday can just crawl back under their rocks ()

who expected that then?
