Allardyce for U19 !!!

[jdeus]

I know this is going to annoy you guys but is he due a failure?

I mean it would be awful it were in the final wouldn't it?

Dont get too optimistic

And yes Im sure I'll get a player in there at some point! Sometime, eventually

 

[Briggsey]

Sheer awesomeness !! Oh, that was a good innings, he's really turning it on now this WC. 2 high 50s and a 100 so far in his three innings. A repeat performance in the final will be a really great goodbye from the international scene.

No plans to continue his training then to push for a place in the full England team? Im sure a few people will be asking you too!

What next for Mr Allardyce then? Perhaps work on that bowling

Congrats on the 100 big achievement for him and it will look good in his stats.

You've all completely ignored my comment haven't you?

LOL, well be weary it might happen!

Stuff you jdeus and your pessimism . Allardyce gets another 50! He's still batting.....

EDIT: Gets out in his last game for 68, which brings his tally in the U19 WC to 96 + 83* + 111 + 68 = 358 , at an average of 119 !

Allardyce is no where near full NT standards where a primary has just reached miraculous (one from elite). It would take many seasons of persistent training for him to get close and I don't think I want that. I'll be giving Allardyce 1 batting, and 1 fielding net from now on. He's already a great player, need to concentrate on the others. Hopefully I pull a few gems in the coming season.

Allardyce c & b. Reid 68

the only guy who got out today :P and the second innings has come to the 28th over

 

[Adarsh]

Yes, but his strike rate was/is better than everyone else bar Cartright for New Zealand.

An awesome player that Allardyce. Shame to see him leave the England side.

Would you ever consider selling him in the future then? Reckon you could easily get well in the vercinity of ?7/8m+! Could build a team with that!

 

[Adarsh]

I won't sell at least for the next 6-8 seasons! I've already built a team, and Allardyce is a large part of it. 8 million is not enough to build a team nowadays. You will get 2 'quality'-primary players. Not enough. With Allardyce I can guarantee a 100 almost every other game. It's a great feeling when you've got someone who can do that. I need a bowler now; if not as good at least somewhere near. I've got a quality bowler with excellent secondaries and he made a big impact last season. A remarkable+ bowler would do nicely.

Folkes is making his U-19 debut today
Against RSA is RSA, he is taking the new ball. Scored 0* off 11 balls earlier, and his first spell resutls in 5 overs, 1 maiden, 0/21. Economical to say the least Hard and Fast pitch too.
