U-19 World Cup Individual Highlights 2000/06
With the 2008 Under-19 World Cup upon us, I thought I would have a look back at some of the best individual performances by associate nation players.
The associate nations have had a mixed time at this tournament. Despite that, many individuals have delivered some amazing pieces of individual brilliance.

Global Cricket
I thought it was about time I started my own blog. I have followed associate and affiliate cricket since 1998. Tony Munro’s BTTW column was a great inspiration. Global Cricket will specifically focus on the non-test playing cricket nations of the world. At present there are 91 countries that have associate or affiliate membership of The International Cricket Council. Most of these nations aspire to play at the highest level. How are they bridging the gap in standards? Do they have good facilities, strong development programs and sound administrative practices in place? There is a need for cricket to embrace a more diverse cultural outlook if it is to prosper in the future. The ICC’s global development program was first initiated in 1997 and began to really take shape after the 2001 ICC Trophy in Toronto, Canada. Although a new cricketing powerhouse is yet to emerge, it is clear that standards are improving dramatically and in time more nations will be able to compete with the 10 full members. I will be featuring newspaper articles of interest, opinion pieces and articles written by myself and some ideas about expanding the game. Please feel free to comment.-Ben Stinga

Just a quick note Ben, Bangladesh weren’t a full member until June 2000, hence were still an associate at the time of the World Cup that year.
And why ignore the 1988 and 1998 World Cups?
Why ignore them?
Mainly because I couldn’t find reliable records for every match played in those tournaments, so I figured I best not guess.
Ben, as always, CricketArchive is your friend.
