These Poms are a good side, I'd bet them to reach the finals at least. They look accomplished with bat and ball and have clearly played lots of cricket.

They love their scoops and paddles, they get taught it early.
I've never liked it but it's hard to defend against if executed well. You look like a twat if u go out though.

The commentators keep talking about how many stars played u19, but I think it's surprising how few world class players actually played it. A lot of these guys fall by the wayside and others either developed later or just narrowly missed it because selections are corrupt everywhere.

Well if you look at the Fab 4/5, all of Kohli, Smith, KW, Babar played U19. I imagine Root did too, but not sure. Bangladesh's big 3 all played it (Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiq + Fizz, Shanto, Shoriful, Joy, and Liton). Rohit, Hetmyer, Gill, Pant, etc all played U19.Googly wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:56 pmThe commentators keep talking about how many stars played u19, but I think it's surprising how few world class players actually played it.

I think if any team can get an average of 2 stars or even senior team regulars from a batch of U19s, thats good. But that means 13 out of 15 players will probably fall by the wayside.
Player development is also not always steady. In the 2012 batch, Bangladesh had several guys make the jump to senior level (Liton, Soumya, Anamul, Mosaddek, Taskin, Jayed, and Nurul). Liton was bang average, but is now turning it on in Test cricket at least. Mosaddek may be out of favor but he still boasts a List A average of 39 and a FC average of 55 or thereabouts.

I see SL beat Australia, that group is wide open between SL/Aus/WI. Crazy that that group had NZ in it as well before they pulled out. Bit unfair, then you look at England's group, which is a cakewalk for them!

He is phenomenal, word is SA Cricket and SA Rugby are both scrambling to get him to commit to their respective sports. He is being touted as a more aggressive AB de Villiers, which is scary!!!. Given his status, he should get his Proteas debut within the next year or so, or they risk losing him to the Springboks!!

They have a good team on their hands, I hope they go far and eventually replace the current batch of shite masquerading as the England national team that’s currently shite. You know your team is terrible when they put on their worst performance since the 1800s. With their own world class U19 coming through, they will be less inclined to poach South African, Zimbabwean and West Indian talent
