Pope bags eight in thrilling Aussie win

Leg-spinner Lloyd Pope has taken the best figures ever in an Under-19 World Cup as Australia pulled off a stunning victory in their quarter-final against England in Queenstown.


Pope finished with 8-35 from 9.4 overs to help bowl England out for just 96 as the Aussies successfully defended a total of 127 to advance to the semi-finals.

England had seemingly been cruising at 0-47 in their run chase before Pope struck, the red-haired leggie taking 3-2 in the space of 10 balls to give the Aussies a sniff.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph !

Church of England (Anglican) cricket should issue a Fatwa
