ICC U19 World Cup 2012 Awards

By Adrian Meredith


Anamul Haque of Bangladesh U19
VICTORIA, Australia (TheSportsNext) August 27, 2012: I disagree with William Bosisto being named as player of the ICC U19 World Cup 2012. Scoring 276 runs at an average of 276.00 and at a strike rate of 55.15 do not make good reading for me - not for a one day tournament. He was only 5th on the run scoring list.

 


So here are my own awards!

Best batsman:
Associate team: Javed Ahmadi (Afghanistan) scored 285 runs avg 47.50 S/R 104.39
Runner up: Quinton de Kock (South Africa) scored 284 runs avg 47.33 S/R 102.52
Winner: Anamal Haque (Bangladesh) scored 365 runs avg 60.83 S/R 85.08

Best bowler:
Associate team: Rahul Vishwakarma (Nepal) took 13 wickets avg 12.69 E/R 4.41
Runner up: Lahiru Madushanka (Sri Lanka) took 15 wickets avg 8.66 E/R 3.52
Winner: Reece Topley (England) took 19 wickets avg 9.10 E/R 3.17

All rounder:
Associate team: Christoper Kent (Papua New Guinea) scored 205 runs avg 41.00 S/R 71.67 and took 7 wickets avg 17.57 E/R 5.12
Runner up: Ashton Turner (Australia) scored 97 runs avg 48.50 S/R 79.50 and took 11 wickets avg 16.18 E/R 4.09
Winner: Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan) scored 199 runs avg 49.75 S/R 100.00 and took 10 wickets avg 18.60 E/R 3.26


Mohammad Nawaz of Pakistan U19


Best player:
Associate team: Christopher Kent (Papua New Guinea) - all rounder.
Runner up: Anamal Haque (Bangladesh) - batsman.
Winner: Reece Topley (England) - bowler.

There you have it. Bosisto is not in the mix even. He wasn't even the best in Australia!

I also should mention Quinton de Kock, who, on top of his runs, took 15 catches in six matches, to be the standout keeper! Unfortunately, he didn't score runs when it mattered (while Anamal Haque did) and hence couldn't get the award.
