There will be some needle in the next match against Ireland, apparently there were a couple of bust ups in the 4 ODIs before the start of the World Cup.
Haha good to hear :lol: There always is at U19's! The kids always go hard at each other.

The boys need to back it up though. Beat the Irish and its plate final time!

We will miss Chirwa badly. You'd think there would be some kind of news about him. You can't get to u19 level and then get called. That's just not fair on the guy.

Need wolhulter to come in up the order. Maybe david bennet can be our finisher.

He was replaced in the squad last week.

So is he on his way home or is he sticking around?

I think Chirwa could be used as specialist batter at the top or number 7, the kid can clear the ropes at will. I think he is a better batsman if compared to Panashe and Wolhuter.

Obviously failed the assessment then. That's really harsh on the lad, he looked a great prospect. I hope he finds a coach somewhere that can help him to correct it.

Just saw that commentator give D Bennet MoM for 30 and a 3fer, not sure how that tops a match winning 80 from MW? :lol: Or a really smooth and well played run a ball 50 from BB?

He looks like hes got some ability, but Wolhuter more experienced and he's good.

I'd open with Saul and put Bawa down the order. He would be a good finisher, he's down on confidence as well.
Did he make runs against Ireland? That's the only thing that would make me keep him at 2 or 3.
He's looking like a sitting duck against spin. Needs some urgent net work before the next game. Needs to stay on the front foot as a quick fix.
