U19 50 over World Cup

[grumbleguts]

After the easy win against Ireland Australia face Japan.

Japan won the toss and decided (for some reason) to bat.

Looks a sightly unever pitch with reward to the bowlers in the early overs.

Japan struggling to score 1/17 off 7 overs, having just hit their first boundary.

Japan lose their second wicket to a terrible mix up. Awful throw from short square leg to the bowlers end, but it was such a big mix up it didn't matter.

2/62 at the end of the 18th over.

Now 2/68 18.5 overs.

Then we bowl a no ball, with the resulting free hit being what saves the batsman from being clean bowled

22 overs gone, Japan 2/86

Admittedly it was a wild shot because of the free hit.

 

[grumbleguts]

two quick wickets leaves Japan reeling.

4/107 from 25.3

LBW from the leg spin of Cooray and then Barton with an absolute snorter grabbing the outside edge.

The very next ball was a huge shout for LBW, umpire called runs. But looked like no bat involved. (Or couse, no DRS in this tournament.

But that doesn't sound as good

It's amazing how many try too hard when it comes to a free hit - if he stayed still he would have had a better chance of making contact

Still head = good contact. I remember in my early 40s, rocking up to a local cricket club to roll my arm over. I was watching this kid swing and miss. I asked him if he could see the ball squashing slightly as it hits the bat. He watched the ball all the way on to his bat and hit it (middled it) every time.


He complained that he couldn't see the ball squash, I said "OF COURSE YOU CAN'T IT'S A ROCK! But you've hit every ball since you started looking for it."

Their coach asked me if i wanted to join the club.

In this game though, the Japanese might be in a bit of hot water over their complaining about umpiring decisions.

Tani-Kelly plays 4ths and Taverners u17's in Brisbane (averaging 20 this season), punching well above his weight so far this tournament.

He did get caught a few minutes ago off a no ball, but still has a head for FC style cricket.

When he was already on 70 though. Made a 100 last match against Sri Lanka too

Does anyone else think Monty Hara-Hinze just went back to the pavilion and swapped shirts and came back out?

[grumbleguts]

Fastest century in U19 WC history

 

[grumbleguts]

He did it again lol

He needed the bounce for the second one. But a car was crossing the path of the ball along the road when it happened.

Against the weaker sides too. Going to have to beat India now to progress. Very unlucky

Never heard of a bone test but looking at some of these photos, the lad on the left looks 35, the image on the right of the Irish bloke looks like he is 15 or so.

 

[ioppolo]

The bloke on the left isn't even close to the worst of the lot.

Ah yes, the old 'gentleman's agreement'.

I see Andy Blignaut has a son in the Zimbabwe team too.
