I've always wondered how a dedicated Indian or Muslim school passes the test. :lol: , different rules for everybody.

It will be interesting to know how many covid tests they have to have in West Indies. Hopefully they're as inaccurate and as easily manipulated as ours.
Our little Starlets played their last handful of games against a pick-up side that had more covid than my house has cockroaches. I've heard from my Doc that the PCR tests we use here are not too reliable with this Omicron strain, which is a blessing because it doesn't affect youngsters at all. I think the cricket balls would get sicker.
Mwale traveling from UK is also a mystery.
I think the full spin attack was an experiment. Hopefully a win against what is clearly a poor batting attack won't encourage them to repeat that! You have to have at least one seamer surely? What is really strange is that there doesn't seem to be a seaming all-rounder? That's almost a first in cricket.

Mwale himself is a seaming all-rounder. He bowled pretty quick when he was much younger so I guess he still does. Falao can bat a bit but more like a number 8 really. Dube and Zvinoera are tail-enders I think.

Zimbabwe should think themselves ahead then Pak & Afghan under 19 and clearly target their batting as both have weak batting line up seen in ongoing U19 Asian Cup

Yes playing today.

They've started already and we are batting. But the internet connection (its a different ground today) is too poor for live scoring sadly.

I got confused by India u19s loss to Pakistan U19. But now India have made it to the Asia Cup finals but Pakistan haven't.

Zimbabwe should play some brave cricket and look to beat one of Afghans or Pakistan to go through to the quarters. Afghans obviously the easier target.
