Congratulations to the England U19s getting to the World Cup Final (on Saturday, v Australia or India). Some very strong batting in the team and despite a lack of out and out pace in the bowling they actually have a decent spin attack including a good leggy who took 3 wickets at the end to win the semi. The only real downside is that there seems to be a lot of promising Lancastrians in the team although Yorkshire's hard-hitting Will Luxton is in there too.
I thought it was over when Sales bowled that 44th over that was expensive with multiple no balls. Ahmed was excellent in the 46th to get us back in to it. Australia vs India tomorrow to see who we play Saturday from 1 pm our time in the final.

Giles allegedly gave the job to Silverwood (over Kirsten) off the back of a solid PowerPoint presentation!! No excuses for him. He also gave Silverwood full control over squad selection but it's been an absolute disaster.
