1st Youth "Test" - Cricket Web U-19 v West Indies U-19

West Indies Under-19 endured a harsh tour opener, as they were shot out for 191 after choosing to bat first on the opening day of the first Youth Test...

 

[Agent TBY]

Very, very happy with my returns in this match, really shows I'm not too good with the new ball in the longer version of the game. Bit expected really, being a medium pace bowler.

Gutted we lost, though. Zac played really well during the run chase, just a bit more and we would've got there. I'm sure we'll bounce back though, right boys?

 

[Simon]

Disapointing to lose that game after bowling them out so cheaply in the first innings, happy I could stick around a make a tough half century in the first innings, but it shows theres a lot to work on when we couldnt perform with the game on the line.

 

[bugssy]

yer tough loss considering we did roll them cheaply and we did fight hard for our half centurys, happy to get my first half century for u19's but would rather 2 ducks for a win.

 

[headhunter]

Happy to get my 50 but felt I could of done more.

Disappointing to lose by such a narrow margin.

Disapponting to go down narrowly in our first two games. Been faily pleased with my bowling in the first two matches although I need to improve my strike ability.
