England U19 vs AUS Under-19, 2nd Match, Group A at Townsville, Aug 11 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary
AUS Under-19 won by 6 wickets (with 89 balls remaining)
The over by Ball, in hindsight, was the differentiator. The partnership between Bosisto and Head swung the match Australia's way when it seemed that the match was delicately poised.
England Captain AJ Ball reckons that winning the toss might have made a difference. He felt if they could have knocked over a couple of wickets after lunch it could've been a different story
Australian Captain WG Bosisto said that the bowlers exploited the conditions well and the pace at which Head scored made the difference for his team.
Travis Head has been awarded the Man of the match for his half-century
