Under 19 World Cup

[andy]

good bowling performance from the england guys today!

This kid Samson ain't half a bad a player.

Ricky dropped and replaced by Shreyas. What a good team performance this is from the batting lineup.All top 6 batters have contributed and a superb cameo by Sanju. I can see yet another huge win here.

Australia were struggling and in danger of going out of the tournament at 61/4 but it looks like they have turned it around.

Bangladesh have got off to a decent start - 46/1 in 10 overs and on course so far.

[dan08]

Bangladesh have slowed down a bit - Australia should win from here.

[Aidan11]

Had a feeling they'd run out of steam.

[Aidan11]

No troubles for India. PNG didn't even manage more than India's first wicket partnership.

[dan08]

Bangladesh are probably aiming for 231 rather than 245 as that would put them through ahead of Afghanistan on NRR.

[dan08]

Australia are through along with Afghanistan from their group.

[Red Devil]

India v Eng QF starting at 5.30 am tomorrow (UK time) - the real competition starts here (and ends here for one of these sides)

Ind have looked a bit ropey so far in the comp

[Aidan11]

We can start booking our flight home now.

Afghanistan are turning heads in this comp. They turned over Australia in the group match, so if they managed that, then they're good enough to turn anybody over.

We can start booking our flight home now.

After the semi?

Some hard lessons for the Ind team in that QF - silly run-out and lax batting in the middle curtailed the recovery and then an easy dropped catch when Eng were 6 down that would probably have finished the game. Hooda has done well per the stats but difficult to see him stepping up to the next level - seems to lack composure with both bat and ball

Lots of rave reviews for Yadav - similar to what we heard about Chawla not that long ago. However, Yadav looks like he lacks control - some excellent deliveries and excellent variety, but too many short balls, full tosses and bowled wide on both sides of the wicket - needs to really focus on being able to pitch the ball in the right area.

Zol and Samson will both be disappointed as they didn't really contribute with the bat in this tournament.

Eng new ball bowlers looked useful but mainly a workmanlike side other than that - think they've done well and will be happy to be in the last 4.
