16 year old Nepali Under 19 bowler Sandeep Lamichhane gets the nod again today. His figures of 7-13 against Malaysia Under 19s adds to an impressive roster of figures in this competition which now reads: 7-13, 4-22, 5-17 and 5-21.

At a SR of 200. Got to get him out because you won't slow him down (at this level at least).

It's going to be later tonight lads.

Off out for a few sherries.

Will post my COTD on my return in anticipation of there be any cricket in the T20 Blasts - seems a lot of them are wash outs.

I have a player in mind though.
