Rain was the real winner today but...

Shubman Gill got 55* for India Under 19s in a very rain delayed game against England Under 19s.

Rain had the final say in Glamorgan's game against Gloucestershire but an outstanding spell of 5-17 should have done the business for Glam but they slid to defeat.

(Let's see if DFM has an issue with Under 19s from Test playing nations.)

Today I'm going for Zimbabwe Under 19s Priviledge Chesa who got 5-27 against Kenya Under 19s.

I only have an issue with ball biting, pitch scuffing tosspots being given COTD instead of their marching orders... and perhaps a ban or a healthy fine for taking the ssip their entire career

all other cricketers are entirely worthy

My argument would be more about who the Test status goes to in this instance rather than anything else.
