Australian spinner Pope single-handedly dismantles England in quarters

ENGLAND were routed by Australian leg-spinner Lloyd Pope in their Under-19 World Cup quarter-final in Queenstown today.

England appeared to be cruising to victory at 47 without loss chasing a winning target of just 128, but Pope ripped up the script with the best figures in the tournament’s history.
