I wait to see the post mortem of this tournament, but any other serious nation would fire Elton after this and make some serious change.
Can't go into a home world cup saying, "we are not worried about this one, we are worried about the next one".

They definitely didn't say that. There is only one player eligible for the next one! (Unless the ICC regs are changing, and this hasn't been published - which seems unlikely!)

Blignaut brothers back playing a school game today!
Fair play! Vs their old school (St. John's), so maybe some scores to settle, but even so! Impressive commitment.

The 2016 squad was very talented.
Brendan Sly was a very good prospect and a highly respected left arm spinner

Sorry wrong guy. Jeremy Ives was the lad I was thinking about.
Murray,
Snyder,
Mashinge (could have really been a good all rounder)
Ngarava
Matugimu
Wez
Adam Keefe
All very capable of playing FC and some international. Compared to this current squad, 11 years ago was a much stronger side

I see India Under 25's beat the Afghanistan Under 35's today.
Here's hoping England U19's win the Final.

Brilliant game between Aus and England. Rew and the Aussie are top top batters.
