Guest Moomintroll Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Namibia were all out for 96. Ireland just struggled their way to 125 all out against the UAE in the final match of the day.UAE strolling it at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 UAE strolling it at the moment. They were supposed to stroll their group but lost to the very dangerous Oman. This was a big game for them.Similar to Scotland, who were supposed to stroll it and lost to the dangerous Singapore. Although our big game will be the Netherlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still nowhere near replacing all the guys that have retired in the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Also, just noticed Collins Obuya was playing for Kenya against Scotland. I remember him taking a five-for at the 2003 World Cup when they made it to the semis. How is he still going? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The draft picks for the hundred took place earlier. Afghan spinner Rashid Khan was the first player picked, while Malinga and Chris Gayle went unpicked. My own personal opinion is that this tourney could be a disaster, I'm not really seeing who is going to go and support these new manufactured teams, and it's also going to force the county championship away from the time when the weather is likely to be best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pile of absolute shite that they will try and hype f**k out of. Joke competition that makes a mockery of cricket.I know social media isn't always a good barometer of things but the hashtag "Boycot the Hundred" was as popular if not more so than "Hundred draft" this evening. Lots of county cricket fans unhappy at not having their own county to support. The ECB won't care about pissing off traditionalists mind you, although on one hand making the game more simple (100 ball countdown, 10 ball overs etc.) and on the other hand making it more complicated with the power plays and double overs and bowling from the same end etc. seems a bit of a muddle. Ironic that they of course "invented" T20 then did nothing with it, and that having won the 50 over World Cup they are trying a new format which might hinder their side in all three current international formats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Gayle and Malinga going unpicked is remarkable considering their T20 records.England’s refusal to shift from their traditionalism and create a T20 franchsie league back around the time of the IPL has ultimately served up this as it’s too late to make a meaningful T20 league. Hence why they are creating this in an attempt to catch up with the IPL, BBL, CPL etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I honestly have no opinion but did folk not say that about the IPL as well? And it's fine not too bad for itself. Think the problem with this is it years too late, and trying to shoe horn it in now can only be to the detriment of the existing competitions. It's a pile of absolute shite that they will try and hype f**k out of. Joke competition that makes a mockery of cricket.Plenty of former players have already started hyping it up off the back of the draft last night. Funnily enough a lot of the same ones who moaned all summer about the lack of good red ball players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Scotland beat PNG by 4 runs, very nearly fucking it up at the end again before Josh Davey saw it out. Edited October 21, 2019 by die hard doonhamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 SA 26/4 at tea after being made to follow on again by India. They still need 309 more to make India bat again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 SA 26/4 at tea after being made to follow on again by India. They still need 309 more to make India bat again.6 down now for 75 but effectively 7 with Elgar retired hurt. They’re getting nowhere near the target. Gonna be a big innings win for India. The pitch doesn’t even look that bad this time, SA are just awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Scotland beat PNG by 4 runs, very nearly fucking it up at the end again before Josh Davey saw it out.Really good bowling performance all round. Can’t help but feel taking Ali Evans out has improved us, he always seems to have one or two wayward overs and when the games are as tight as they have been you can’t really excuse for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Remarkable that the Welsh Fire have managed to pick 8 foreigners despite only being allowed 3 (Starc, Smith and Ahmed). That is of course mainly down to the Kolpak ruling meaning they also selected du Plooy, Ingram, Harmer, Rampaul and ten Doeschate (yes I know he is slightly different). Now they have more foreign players than local ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hadn't realised (though shame on me for being so naive) that this qualifier shitshow Scotland are playing in is only to pre-qualify for the main event, the 6 qualifiers go into 2 groups of 4 with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and 4 teams qualify from there to go with the top 8 (which includes Afghanistan who edged out SL at the ranking point cut off). Also just assumed it was the top 3 in each group who went through but it isn't, only 1st guarantees you qualify so we need to win out, hope Netherlands beat Singapore tomorrow, and then pump the Netherlands so NRR goes in our favour. Or if Singapore win then hope they lose one of their other games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
