Must have been a dodgy pitch

Lovers of inept batting the world over will have been delighted by the news that West Indies Under-19, playing in the KFC Cup, were bowled out for just 18 runs today by Barbados. It is the lowest total in a List A one-day match, beating Middlesex's 33-year record by five runs. Fine effort boys. The destroyer in chief was Pedro Collins, with seven for 11. Oddly, the Under-19s won the toss and decided to make best use of the conditions...

I remember in a school under-15s match many years ago we bowled the opposition out for 20. Sadly, they won by five runs...

And one third of the runs in the U-19s' innings were wides, which is probably also a record of some sort.
