He was indeed an assistant with both nations.

Not a great day for Padman and Gallagher.

Padman opener for Sri Lanka and out for 6 not long after :(. Gallagher comes in at 5 for Irelands chase, and out for a golden duck :'(.

Never realised that Padman had played other games besides the two so far.

Going great for the friendlies 8). Always keep an eye on the friendlies just incase Padman gets the call up which looks like he's in favour with his skills.

End of over 20 (15 runs) - West Indies U19(174-5) RR 8.70
L. Piper 2 (1b) , J. Duncan 70 (44b) , L. Grey 4-0-43-1

Looks like another loss for nips and Canada.

it most likely looks like that will be the way that it goes shaggy

And Windies won by 10 runs despite a 4k ratings deficit.

[cookie311993]

yeah am wondering where the spinner was. I prefer to play a spin bowler on green  to add variation

[8-6 Suited]

1 medium on a Green is terrible. He is a flowering nuff nuff.

[cookie311993]

Bermuda U19 played Sth Africa today and lost on the last ball..... :o

End of over 19 (11 runs) - South Africa U19(163-3). 9 runs required from 1 overs. RR 8.58 RRR 9.00
B. Addison 30 (18b), U. Khawaja 67 (49b) , F. Buffonge 4-0-40-0 

19.1 1 Ramoutar to Khawaja : The ball pitches up outside off stump. Khawaja pushes it to the mid-off region. Honiball at mid-off is a bit deep and the batsmen are able to pinch a single. Good awareness.
19.2 1 Ramoutar to Addison : This one bounces up sharply and Addison does magnificently to get on top of it and steer it down to third man. The batsmen jog through for a single.
19.3 4 Ramoutar to Khawaja : [misfield] Buffonge makes a meal of it and four runs the result.
19.4 1 Ramoutar to Khawaja : A straight ball on a good length, Khawaja turns the ball to the leg side and takes off for a run. Hinds reacts slowly and can't prevent them taking a single.
19.5 1 Ramoutar to Addison : Ramoutar a bit too short there, Addison paddles it down to fine leg for a single.
19.6 4 Ramoutar to Khawaja : Overpitched on off stump, and Khawaja makes Ramoutar pay with a gorgeous off drive for four.

Result: South Africa U19 won by 7 wickets

Bermuda U19 South Africa U19
Batting - Top Order: 7,419 7,878
Batting - Middle Order: 6,863 6,778

Fielding/Keeping: 7,738 7,665
Overall: 132,698 134,697

Very even contest all round...  Was always likely to lose when we needed a dot ball on the last ball.

Unlucky fletch. But hopefully in a few seasons we will see Wilkinson hitting the winning runs for South Africa :) (Preferably in the World Cup final)
