West Indies Under-19s 193 (39.3 ov)
Australia Under-19s won by 137 runs
Scorecard
Di selectors get it TOTALLY wrong man!!

, for a start dem move alleyne from four (where he's used to playing) to three, then dem put Hosaine at number seven somewhere!!..what the feck is that about? after dat dem drop our best wicket keeper for a part timer (Ambris) which no doubt will have cost us a few runs, we had them 3/61 at one stage and by then you'd expect us to keep it tight and put dem under pressure, but the bowlers were too wild man, Campbell and Brathwaite were very expensive, Davis couldn't get a wicket for the second game in a row (i did say Larry Edward was better than him but the selectors stuck with the status quo) and for some odd reason Akeem Hodge didn't bowl again, the whole ting was a mess man!!

, i said yesterday that..
Brathwaite
Campbell
Lett
Alleyne
Hodge
Mayers
Greaves
Katwaroo (wk)
Davis
Khan
Jones
Should be the team, Jones came in a done a good job JUST LIKE I SAID HE WOULD, now the selectors are gonna have to look at the options, should they bring in Nelson for Khan? i got high hopes for Khan but he hasn't taken a wicket for two games now and we NEED to beat India in the next game to have a chance of winning the thing,
In closing let me also say that we could have used much more experienced youngsters if we wanted,
Jason Holder (playing for A-team),
Yannic Cariah (got 13 wickets for Trini last season),
Shane Burton (scored 44 against England lions),
Shane Dowrich (playing for Bim and A-team),
Ronston Chase (big talent playing for Bim seniors),
Jermaine Blackwood (good alrounder) and
Andre Stoll (talented Guyana seamer) are all 19 years old and could have played in this competition, so don't think the players who are out in Asia right the best of the crop because they most certainly aren't

.
In closing maybe i overrated some of the players out there, Brathwaite got a 50 so at least he showed his class but some of the other batters have been very disappointing, especially Campbell and Ambris, and the bowlers just can't seem to finish the job when they have the opposition in trouble!!.. to be honest i fear for them when they play India because them Indian openers have lots of experience it seems.
Hopefully they can spring a surprise.
