Deadly draw for Zim U19s in the upcoming World Cup

Post by CrimsonAvenger »

It could not have been tougher. We are drawn with India, Australia and PNG.

13th Jan: PNG v Zim
17th Jan: Aus v Zim
19th Jan: Ind v Zim

2 warm up matches before that:

08th Jan: NZ v Zim
10th Jan: WI v Zim

Best wishes to the kids anyway...

That's a real shame that we drew India & Australia considering it seems we have a pretty good side that could have maybe upset a Pakistan or South Africa ?

But don't lose hope Zimbabwe has beaten Australia score at the under 19's World Cup as we all would remember

The lads went down to queensland u19 in the first match of their Aussie tour. Qld winning by one wicket.

However, more disappointing is that they took the field without being given breakfast as the team manager had not arranged anything. Also, once they arrived, were told they have to do their own washing/laundry as ZC's hotel allowance/budget did not cover this. Not ideal Is a polite way of saying it.

Wow that's really really sad. Don think expect things like that to happen in cricket.. maybe soccer but not cricket. I guess ZC really is stretched out right now.

Do you have a scorecard by any chance?

I guarantee they were given the money for 3 square meals a day. Nick Singo is the master of misappropriating tour funds, should be in jail many times over.
