This Haseeb Ullah guy has played a beautiful innings. Paced it like a pro with 20 years experience.
A bit of an exaggeration, I'd say 5 years of pro experience. :lol:
I was looking at their profile pics, absolutely no danger of some of these guys being 19.

Epic relay catch on the boundary by Bennett and Chirwa. Good stuff

It's shameless. Pick a 19 year old Pakistani living in UK and compare facial features. The Asians mature quite late, that guy looks 25 minimum

It's criminal really, and we're so unlucky getting a draw with TWO of these teams in the same group. The difference between U19 cricket and senior cricket is massive, to the extent that one of our senior franchise teams would probably win this tournament.

We've done well to take 7 wickets against these cheats. And the first twenty overs were really good.

Obviously we're not going to get anywhere even close chasing this lol.

Thank God we went with 2 seamers. We need a third seamer against Afghanistan in case its more of the same.

ZIM U-30 wouldn't have been any more competitive though so its a moot complaint in addition to getting tiresome.

They need to introduce MRI scans like they do for Football. Age cheating is a big problem in cricket but we all know they will never do it because some of the biggest nations will be affected

What's tiresome?

Sorry, maybe we shouldn't mention that all the Asian teams are massive fucking cheats then. Let's all pretend they are all teenagers and never mention it.


And yeah, a full Zim U30's would probably win the tournament with ease. If you think anything different, I'd suggest you haven't played much cricket.
