The last name I was told to remember in relation to a WC final was BRATHWAITE, and then that didn’t go well for a variety of reasons, not least that most people called him Braithwaite.

Here’s the scorecard from the last time we reached a yoof WC final. Some great names there, along with many who rarely featured again: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-under-19-world-cup-1997-98-298815/england-under-19s-vs-new-zealand-under-19s-final-329666/full-scorecard

Josh Boyden. Remember where you heard THAT name first. Predictive text doesn’t know what it’s on about.

They’ll need to play better in the final and there’s no mistake.

Several of your Lancky youngsters looked the best of the bunch, KC, including The Boy Bell, Josh Borden (remember where you heard that left-arm seamer’s name first) and a lad named Aspinwall who can also bowl.

Not just the impressive batting when trying to save and then trying to win the match, not just the mix of attacking and defensive bowling, but also the fielding. For example two superb catches in the deep during that last hour to deny England what looked like becoming an unlikely win.

Very watchable (and also very followable, as DC says).

More please.
