Austin Waugh continues to grab much of the attention at the under-19 national championships. Its poorest batting display of the past eight days has Tasmania abruptly exiting from the

under-19 national championships on Tuesday.

pressure of brilliant bowling amid the often harsh knockout phase.

The quarter-final rematch against NSW Metro ended in the Tasmanians bundled out for 111 at New Town Oval.

The same two teams had played off in an opening tie.

But coach Shannon Tubb said Tasmania were just not up to the task chasing 252.

“They bowled extremely well at the start of the game – I was just really impressed with their first 10 overs,” Tubb said. “I thought they were outstanding.

“They bowled excellent back-of-the-length area to our batters and to be fair, we just couldn’t combat those areas they bowled.

“As the run rate increased up to seven and eight, we weren’t able to stay up with the rate and just lost wickets along the way.”

When tournament star batsman Jack White was caught out for 11, Tasmania had slumped to 4-36.

Mowbray all-rounder Jarrod Freeman attempted to resurrect the state’s fortunes with captain Dylan Hay.

The middle-order pair put on 44 for the fifth wicket until top-scorer Hay fell for 29 off 45 deliveries.

That dismissal sparked a collapse when Freeman was out only four runs later for 19 and Tasmania lost five tailend wickets for 31.

Tubb felt his side played with great spirit despite the heavy 140-run defeat.

“We definitely didn’t give up on the game,” he said.

“We played it the right way.

“We played to win the game of cricket, but unfortunately when you chase that score that can happen in the one-day format.”

TO THE PITCH: Form Tasmanian Jarrod Freeman battled hard against the bowlers in the state's quarter-final loss. Opening quick Lawrence Neil-Smith had worked both ends of the innings to grab

an impressive 5-17.

NSW Metro’s top order first cemented the charge off a 52-run opening stand.

Captain Param Uppal hit a game-high 71 off 83 balls in support with Austin Waugh – son of the former Australian Test great – compiling 67 from 88 during a 95-run stand to consolidate

further.

“They got away to an excellent start, but we fought back well in the field and defended our boundaries. I thought we actually bowled really well to hold them to around the 250-mark,” Tubb

said.

Freeman conceded very little in his tight 1-23 off 10 overs, while Burnie paceman Shaun Redman took 3-26.

Cricket Australia XI caused a boilover on Bellerive Oval after the young tyros chased down Queensland’s mighty 6-289 to win by three wickets.

Western Australia ended ACT-NSW Country’s unbeaten streak at the nationals in a five-wicket victory pursuing 209 to reach the semi-finals.

South Australia won by 36 runs after a last-wicket stand put on 37 to push the score to 155 over Northern Territory.
