Rivalry between the England and New Zealand under-19 cricket teams
resumes at Hagley Oval today when the teams meet in the first of a
three-match one-day series.
An engrossing test series was drawn one-all between the evenly
matched sides with New Zealand squaring the series in the third test
at Alexandra.
England is the world youth cup one-day champion beating New Zealand
in the final last season in South Africa. Six of the England players
are in its touring squad this season while five are returning from
the New Zealand team. "England beat us in both round-robin play and
the final last time so I've told the boys we are 2-0 down already and
have to fight back," said coach Dayle Hadlee of Christchurch.
Hadlee said from what he had seen of the test series he felt England
had more bowling options in their top order batsmen than New Zealand.
"That means our specialist bowlers must be accurate."
Hadlee said like the test series it was difficult to predict which
way the 50-over games could go.
Canterbury has two players in the youth team, Michael Papps (East
Christchurch-Shirley), who made a telling impression during the test
series with two centuries, and fast-medium opening bowler Hayden Shaw
(Riccarton) who produced some fine spells and some aggressive
lower-order batting.
Squads:
New Zealand (from):Jarrod Englefield (captain), Bradley Patton,
Peter McGlashan (Central Districts), Michael Papps, Hayden Shaw
(Canterbury); Jon McNamee, James Franklin, Ben Jansen, Mark Gillespie
(Wellington); Michael Hendry, Tim McIntosh, Bruce Martin (Auckland);
Warren McSkimming (Otago).
England (from): Michael Gough (captain), Ian Bell, Ian
Flanagan, Michael Carberry, Richard Dawson, Giles Haywood, John
Maunders, Marc Symington, Jonathan Fearick, Mark Wallace, Graeme
Bridge, Matthew Bulbeck, Richard Logan, Joe Tucker, Matthew Whiley.
