Good to see three young Bears selected:

Essex are the only other county to have as many as three players selected.

Tazeem Ali comes on as seventh bowler (!) and stars for England:

Decent showings so far from Tazeem Ali and Shaikh. Three wickets in each game T Ali has played and a highest team score fifty plus two single figure not outs for Shaikh

Yes very pleasing to see them both performing well in a tournament which has historically been a good indicator of talent.

I've just watched the highlights of the game v West Indies and both of them looked good - Shaikh with the bat (a cover drive like Ian Bell's) and Tazeem with the ball.

Just hope there’s plans for both of them. Wylie too.
It’s all well and good having these young players doing well at under 19. But there needs to be a plan, the players don’t need to know it, so it avoids undue pressure on them. But the club should have one in terms of the 50 over comp, second XI, if Briggs gets injured or we play on a turner at Somerset do we bring in Tazeem. Things like that.

Wylie in the XI today too, 2 wickets. I said it last season when they were both performing well that there is no way Warwickshire should be looking to sign another spinner before Wylie and Ali have had a proper go. Wylie looks a real good option in white ball cricket with his batting ability and Ali already has such excellent control.

Hamza surely gets a go in the 4 day side this season at some point.

Wylie took 4 for 42 off his 10 overs, which was pretty good, considering most other bowlers got well thumped!

Tazeem 1 for 46 off his 10.

Wylie opened and got 7, Shaikh, 14, but the batsmen generally couldn't stand up to the Aussie attack.

Yeah a couple of the Aussie lads looked rapid.
