The U19 team is playing proper cricket, for the most part. I have looked at them, I enjoyed the games. No wild slugging and vooping, indiscriminately. I enjoyed watching the Women World Cup, where i viewed proper cricket from the women. The West Indies U19 team is showing that they understand the basics, just like I saw in the women's game. Just hoping that they can maintain that pattern, because in the end, they would develop into better overall cricketers.

This group had some talented youngsters

hope van Lange continues with this rich vein of form. Heaney DCC😀
