Decent day overall for Afghanistan. 7th here and the seniors competing decently.

Yes, you'd say the Afgh team fairly thrashed the Lankans.

Bdesh beat NZ by 77 runs.

I'm amazed at how quickly cricket in Afghanistan has improved.

Oi! he might be a shitmuncher - but he's OUR shitmuncher. Capiche?

IN YOUR FACE AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!

England kids pip them by one wicket with two balls to spare to take out third place. What Ashes?

Now that is what we call close

Pakistan rolled for 131 in the final.

We've seen that before... do the bookies get them young these days? That's if they are young, that is... is Afridi playing?

Thus, two Indian twats get banned for obscene language/ gestures, apart from generally carrying on like prats. The English team seems full of stodgy types accompanied by the quota loon (the leggie Jones). The English also sledge with a pious 'who me?' style that is obviously a mandatory course at cricket school

Some of the Pakistani 'youth' you wouldn't want to meet in a brightly lit alley in broad daylight. Also the dramatic collapses.

The Windies look like they couldn't give a flying.

I am reliably informed that the Lankans were carrying on like pork chops as well, except that no one understood them.

Haven't seen the Aussies or SA.

I fully expect the Saffies to choke.

Pakistan collapse to 131, but SA following are 27/1, no make that 28 for 2!

Bit of a drubbing, SA destroyed Pak

SA had a few squeaky bum moments though. 134/4 doesn't reflect that.

And congrats to Sith Effrica.

South African Aiden Markram was named man of the series. Anuk Fernando of Sri Lanka was the top wicket taker and Shadman of Bangladesh the top runscorer, so we'll see what comes of those lads.

Some of these U19 stars are never heard from again, never even play List A or first class level, for whatever reason.

The 2006 U19wc MOTS was Southee, and the major wicket taker was Parnell.

The standings were:
1 South Africa
2 Pakistan
3 England
4 Australia
5 India
6 West Indies
7 Afghanistan
8 Sri Lanka
9 Bangladesh
10 NZ
11 Zimbabwe
12 UAE
13 Scotland
14 Namibia
15 Canada
16 PNG

England will be keen to sign the young Saffies and Aussies,under ecb rules a player over 18 has to wait 7 years to play for England,18 and under is 4 years.

by OP Tipping Thu 06 Mar 2014, 13:17

So cynical

by brockley Thu 06 Mar 2014, 19:44
