Weather: Hot
Pitch: Sticky
Bowled first, Bizzotto and McBeast were the standouts with some very tight bowling and wickets. I was quite happy with the orders we had settled on for these 2 in particular.
So following from the excellent bowling performance we had a very manageable required rate to chase.
The openers got off to a fine start and the skipper, Head, scored a nice half century. With not a large total to run down it was harder to gauge the batting effort after the opening pair.
With a tour squad to be selected by next Sunday we will be putting a fair bit into the next friendly on Saturday afternoon.
Really want you to do well mate, will be following your tour closely mate, Hope everything goes well for you.

Re: U19 Zone
We have a friendly today, starting in half an hour, against the Dutch.
1 change, Regan in for Madsen.
A couple of minor changes in the orders given this one is on a cloudy/flat.
Tune in and see how we fare.

Re: U19 Zone
276 on a cloudy/flat was a bit less than we were hoping for.
No "standouts" in the batting with all bar one getting a start, unfortunately only one of those managed a half century and got out not long after.
With such a total not being a formality to defend we were passed with 8 balls remaining.
Regan picked 4 later on to give the match a closer appearance, while McBeast was the most economical.
Still some work to do.

Re: U19 Zone
Yeah 276 wasn't enough but good to see we pushed them to the 49th over before they won
Still some work definitely but good signs nonetheless

Re: U19 Zone
We played Pakistan on an Overcast/Uneven.
Bowling first we had 3 bowlers be quite economical with Antill the best picking up 3/33.
Our bowlers didn't pick up enough wickets given the conditions and orders.
In the batting we tried a couple of players in different roles and only 1 came off with there being only 3 bats to get into double figures and having to carry the load.
All in all it wasn't a too bad result as we went down by only 6 runs against a very similarly rated team and most importantly we have learned more about a few of our players.

Re: U19 Zone
My thoughts exactly, at least we won the tossexquisiteblue wrote:Not the greatest of starts unfortunately for you lads. The bowling was perhaps 20-30 runs over what I would have liked my team to chase and the batting didn't get started like there opener did.
Hope you bounce back strong
As stated, not the start we wanted, however I have said a few times that this is a long journey and last night was but the first step.
4 changes for tonights team, it's on an Overcast/Flat so hopefully we can win the toss again and post a decent total.

Re: U19 Zone
Well we won the toss again
and at 1/0 and then 2/19 I thought I'd killed a black cat under a ladder.
Anyway we have managed to post a very respectable 3/333
Now, lets hope our bowlers can produce the goods and defend that.

Re: U19 Zone
Cheers eb,
Yes I was quite happy to wake up this morning and see that we were able to defend that. I thought Senior played his role to perfection in the bowling also.
Again 4 changes for tonight and another flat, fingers crossed we can back it up but I am less confident as we manage fatigue.

Re: U19 Zone
That would have to be the worst batting I ever saw on a flat
Kudos to Scotland but that is an aberration

Re: U19 Zone
Yes well.
I think the word we are looking for is insipid.
So we are 1-2 with shocking NRR, I think it goes without saying that we'll be throwing everything into the final 2 games.
