2018 U19 World Cup in New Zealand

[JC Hawks]

As I say that both McSweeney and Sangha both go out.

Sri Lanka have lost to Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.

Great for those two nations. Not so good for an established cricket nation

Beaten by Zimbabwe and Bangladesh by their senior side too.
Not a great week for the Sri Lankans.

 

[The Speaker]

Ireland has pulled off a bit of a shock win over Afghanistan by four runs, the latter having done all the hard work by beating Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Wouldnt be bad for the sport to see other teams improving anyway.
Sick of seeing us play India or England every summer

 

[Bomberboyokay]

This would be a good ground to get stoned and drunk and stare into the distance at.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Does anyone know why Andrew Holder isn't playing in the team? An 18-year-old who has taken wickets at shield level would be pretty handy here.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Good to see Australian youth teams collapse as well, all out for 127, but Lloyd Pope has England 5 down needing another 50 runs.

Pretty sure that cricinfo has that wrong, Holder’s 26ish

Pope is making wrist spin great again. Go you good thing.

Question now is whether they bowl him out or not.

Ideally you’d keep some overs in handy but chasing a smaller target makes it tricky.

Thanks

 

[getgaff]

Pope has 6 and England are 8 down needing 40 odd.

 

[Hamez]

This has been unreal.

 

[spookism]

Lock up your daughter's, this kid just rolled the Poms with 8 for 35

 

[Woody15]

Sir Lloyd Pope.

 

[workhorse]

I, for one, welcome our new overlord Pope

 

[Torz]

Get him his own Pope-mobile.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

I can see the white smoke already.

 

[danielnajdek]

England not being able to play leg spin. Who would've guessed that.....

 

[Harlequin Dream]

One of England's best young players is also named Pope.

Is this the future of cricket? Pope vs Pope

Which one will declare himself the rightful Pope and live in Avignon?

Amazing, only caught the last 2 wickets on Sky Cricket coverage but just wow. Almost Warney like.
I thought they were gone when clicked on cricinfo about 2 hours back and see we only made 127.
They were 0 for 47 in reply, then rolled for 96. Crazy good.

I'll certainly be following that career closely.
