Australia have powered ever closer towards the semi-finals of the Under-19 World Cup after two Brisbane Grammar School old boys teamed up to spearhead a comprehensive thrashing of England at Kimberley.
At the Diamond Oval in South Africa's old mining centre, captain Hugh Weibgen, with a superb 120, and Callum Vidler, taking four wickets in a quicksilver opening spell, blitzed their young English counterparts with gems of a performance.
The Aussies even beat the thundery weather on Wednesday as they carved out a 110-run win, under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, in a rain-reduced affair to maintain their 100 per cent record in the tournament.
