Under 19 World Cup 2014

Which of the players aren't completely shit then?

All I know are Zol and Samson are decent, which should mean that they'll be living under a bus drinking their last bottle of rum in 5 years' time.

India squad
Vijay Zol (c), Sanju Samson (vc, wk), Akhil Herwadkar, Ankush Bains, Ricky Bhui, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Deepak Hooda, Kuldeep Yadav, Amir Gani, Atit Sheth, Karan Kaila, C.V. Milind, Avesh Khan, Monu Kumar Singh

Sri Lanka squad:
Kusal Mendis (c), Sadeera Samarawickrama (vc), Vinod Banuka, Hashan Dumindu, Kavindu Kulasekara, Priyamal Perera, Thilaksha Malshan Sumanasiri, Hashan Ramanayake, Binura Fernando, Anuk Fernando, Hashan Vimarshana, A.K Tyronne, Lakshan Jayasinghe, Ramesh Mendis, Harsha Rajapaksha

Zimbabwe upset Australia, and it looks like Sri Lanka will beat India. England hammer Scotland! All is well....

Seems like there's no TV coverage here in Aus, or is it only the second stage that is televised? ESPN showed some matches in previous tournaments. Always worth a look, these under 19s World Cups. Gives us a chance to discover some exciting young English talent, then watch with despair over the coming years as they regress beyond all repair.

The matches today were just warm-up games. The real thing starts on 14 February.

It's being shown in every home but yours ...the ICC has heard about trevving and are trying to avoid it

India, Australia and England all lost their warm up matches today... order restored.

what a shit way to get out for Smith. That too to one of the worst balls of the innings

Supremely shit running by South Africa. They won't be getting their sandwiches today...

West Indies 3/3 in 3.3

Tangerine got a duck without facing

Fox Sports are showing QF1 on next Saturday (22nd) via the red button

Zol gone for 3. The slide has already begun...

Entertaining and sloggy 74 for Sarfaraz Khan. India in a pretty decent position now

Comfortable enough win.

Surely not, England doing everything wrong in the last half hour or so. Now Sibley drops an eminently catchable chance.

Dernbachian bowling by Rhodes and Winslade.

So the kids are mimicking the main team then- Have the opposition on the ropes, then take the foot off the gas by pushing the field back and bowling the part-timers.

9 down, a nervous finish for the SL last pair...

Getting to a nice finish.

5 to win off 15 balls, as an edge goes for 4.

Scores level

A run out missed and England somehow manage to lose.

That throw was closer to Colombo than the stumps.

The telecasts for this tournament are really an embarrassment. Won't be seeing Australia till the knockouts.

We wont be seeing eleven mouthy little bogan c*nts until the knockouts? Shame.......

Open net, but three India matches, two England matches and South Africa West Indies are all that are telecast. The rest of the teams are just incidentals in telecast.

Afghanistan smashing the hapless Australian bowlers all over the park.

1/116 after 26.2 overs
