Just in a wind up.....of course it is Kaur

A real candidate from the ICC Asia Under-19s World Cup Qualifier; 6-23 from Mujeeb today helped Afghanistan Under 19s steamroll over Malaysia Under 19s.

From the Blast it was more Wayne's Madsen who proved tempting again.

Precious little cricket today so I return to my old friend the Under 19 World Cup Qualifier.

Sahil Patel got 5-20 and 22 runs for USA Under 19 against Bermuda Under 19.

Sometimes you need to let your head rule your heart. Despite Shrubsole's heroics I'm going to have to go for David Willey's 118 for Yorkshire against Worcestershire.

Shrubsole for me, without a doubt. Not just the figures, but pulling the game back from that position was incredible. And in a WC final too.

Looking at the fixtures for today, it looks like COTD will be back being picked from the under 19s tonight.
