The Under 19 Australian Team Thread

[9874123]

I'm tuning in today. We won the toss and are having a bowl.

Lengths have been a bit off from all the quicks so far, this Pakistani pair are certainly a class above anyone else these guys have bowled to this tournament
Edit - And Straker gets one just as I say this!

 

[9874123]

That wicket was coming, could have easily been Vidler's the over before as the batsmen were playing some shots that weren't there. Pakistan are 1-25 after 8.1

Another wicket for Straker, he has been pretty tidy, some nice movement down off to catch the edge.

That opener who went out second has a horrendous technique worse than second division in Ferntree Gully District cricket

How does Singh still get picked

 

[toml]

Hicks is not a good keeper, gotta get Aitken back in if we make the final

 

[Santana]

All over them right now. Pak boys did defend 155 last game so still work to be done

You can tell that young Macmillan grew up watching Nathan Lyon.

 

[010203]

Too many boring off spinners for my liking. I want to see a young leg spinner.

pitch starting to play some tricks, few balls keeping low. Going to be a good second innings to watch chasing -200

 

[1990crow]

Very nice take by the keeper there

 

[9874123]

Straker almost loses the Awais wicket to a no-ball. Good innings from the Pakistani. Straker has been great all day.

Finishes with 6/24

Dixon with 2 stunning cover drives.

 

[9874123]

Great ball from Ali Raza to get Kostas. Just came in to smash the stumps. What a player he could be

 

[9874123]

Dixon needs to be careful here, he has come close to causing a run out a couple of times now.

Weibgen will be good for Dixon to keep him in check. Don't do anything silly and we could be 100/1 easily at 25 overs

Or not. How the hell does Singh get picked today.

 

[9874123]

I missed most of the Dixon/Peake partnership but from what I have seen from Peake, he has played a really mature innings.

Looks very impressive.

Jesus umpire. That’s not out.

 

[9874123]

Yeah that was terrible. Feel like he rewarded Raza for a good over.

Just terrible umpiring completely changes the course of the match.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Exciting finish at least
