Leask gone, another googly, and another “umpires call”.
Well be lucky to break 70 at this rate.
60 might be a good score at this rate.Quote:

The Afghanistan spinners are some of the best in the world, having to face them isn’t easy. The issue is the lack of flexibility in the batting, no attempt to rebuild as wickets fell just always looking for big runs. Sticking to the sweep mostly despite being very early in an innings.
Greaves would have survived if he’d reviewed…
56 up, not the lowest score in the super 12s!
60 all out. Really poor performance really, although those spinners will take some stopping.
To think I was kidding too.😬😳🤨Quote:

Quinton DeKock out of the SA team for personal reasons and now Cricket SA release a statement saying they have directed all their players to take a knee.
Seems pretty clear he has refused and therefore gave up his place.
Unbelievable that he’d walkout on his teammates and country over something like this, but surely it should be down to the players to choose whether they take the knee or not.Quote:

2 for 2 😮
Abysmal start. John blain was saying he thought they looked tired pre game, hope that’s not coming through…
Berrington out lbw, looked down leg to me!
2 for 3 😮😮
Out on umpires call, this is embarrassing!Quote:

Very very lucky not to be run out! A stupid, stupid, stupid run!
Best Scottish performance is from John Blaine on the radio.
I'd never heard him speak before (heard of him via playing obviously) and he's very easy to listen to.
First boundary: a streaky edge through the slips after 4.5 overs!
18-4, just when they looked like they’d played themselves in. Should have reviewed on first viewing…
I’m wrong, would have been 3 reds…
109-8, really poor. Good performance from leask and while he was in they looked like getting up to 130 but after he went there was no more in the last few overs.
Namibia win by 4 wickets with 5 balls left. That’s a really disappointing result and no mitigation for the batting this time really.
3 games to go: India, Pakistan and New Zealand…
He has now apologised, said he will take a knee and is available nfor selection if called upon.Quote:

Some Indian reaction to their loss to Pakistan.
Afghanistan did well to get close to 150, I’m really looking forward to this chase though. That Afghan attack could take them a long way in this tournament.
This could go down to the last ball. Cracking game so far.
24 of the second last over for Pakistan to win it, 4 sixes. They needed 24 to win with 2 overs to go as well.
Pretty impressive finish. I’m not sure Afghanistan have enough in their seam bowlers to get through, unfortunately Scotland never got a chance to face them…! A bit worried about what Pakistan will do to Scotland too.Quote:
