I wish I could have helped you out with that but I've absolutely zero USA 19 yo as my youth pulls have been utter rubbish. I'm not convinced any of my 18 yo players will be good enough either.

Another great win yesterday and against Canada too. Top of the league! Someone take a screenshot of that so we have proof that it actually happened and we didn't just imagine it.

I'm expecting us to lose the next 3 games though.

Certainly seemed like we didn't have much luck towards the end of the tour.

Now for the seniors to show how it shouldn't be done.

Wait what...

Kennedy was definitely man of the match; 5 wickets and 45 not out. It didn't start too well but South Africa went from 125-1 to 215 all out while we just about managed to avoid doing something similar.

Sadly, we were outclassed in the last couple of games against the teams currently in the first 2 places in the division. We could do with a morale boosting victory against the Irish.

To our legions of faithful followers, it's been a long time coming, but that ODI World Cup victory you have all been praying for has finally arrived.

Now I understand that you're all extremely excited, but please try not to fill up my inbox with too many adoring messages.
I can't read them all, you know. (in fact, so far I haven't read any, but hey)

In conclusion, I'd like to thank everyone for their support over the years.
In those desperate moments, where fatigue and exhaustion set in, you have been my inspiration and my reason to keep going.

And thanks to Cynic...



(is this mic on? )

Yeah just remember to send rogue the flowers and me the flaming bags of poo.

Congratulations, Rogue (and Cynic).

Also congratulations to all the managers who have made it possible for the USA team to win the World Cup; I didn't really think it would happen.
