AUSSIE POPE HAS ENGLAND U19s IN EIGHT-WICKET SPIN

23/1/2018

Tom Scrivens' ICC Under-19 World Cup dream is over after England were sent leg-spinning out of the competition by Australia in the quarter-finals in picturesque Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island earlier today.
The promising Hampshire Academy all-rounder experienced a disappointing last eight game, bowling only two wicketless overs (for 15) before being run out by a direct hit for a first ball duck as England collapsed to 96 all out in response to Australia's 127 all out. 
Somerset's Tom Banton made 58 for England, who were totally mesmerised by Adelaide teenage leg spinner Lloyd Pope, who took an amazing 8-35 off 9.4 overs, the best bowling figures ever recorded in the U19 CWC.
England had seemingly been cruising at 47-0 in their run chase before Pope struck, the red-haired leggie taking 3-2 in the space of 10 balls to give the Aussies a sniff. England later moved on to 71-3, but lost their last six wickets for 25 after Banton had been caught at first slip reverse sweeping Pope.
