If you believe the shite his and his wife’s PR sprout. He’s an odious individual as well as being a c**t and a cheating one at that.
Still doesn't seem too keen on picking a fight with Sonny Bill, I wonder why? Cowardly, cheating arsehole.

Denly looks like he’s out of the entire NZ series which seems quite convenient to give Sibley a crack at opening

He tweeted earlier that he will definitely miss the T20s, but is hopeful of being fit for the Tests. He rolled his ankle stepping on the boundary rope while trying to catch a ball.

On recent form Scotland will come last in that group. But over last year or so Scotland have been very good so if they can rediscover that form they can definitely come 2nd and qualify for the Super 12s. I also think Bangladesh will be easier than Sri Lanka due to them having an absolute mare on and off the field recently, and Shakib may still be banned.

 

All of our matches will be played at Hobart, whereas Group A (Sri Lanka, PNG, Ireland, Oman) will be played at South Geelong which is probably a better location.

Decent group for Scotland in T20. Bangladesh, Netherlands and Namibia. Avoided Ireland and Sri Lanka so could have been worse.
Bangladesh are hit and miss, but slightly worrying that we are in with 2 teams who beat us last week. Plenty of time to find some form though.

Quite fitting that in the 1000th T20I ever, Bangladesh (without Tamim and Shakib) have beaten India in Delhi. Yes, Kohli, Bumrah, Hardik and Bhuvi weren’t playing but Rohit, Dhawan, Rahul and Pant all were. It was a bit of a weak bowling attack from India with no Hardik, Bumrah, Bhuvi or Kuldeep.

 

To make it worse, Bangladesh needed 4 off the final over to win. India gave the final over to Shivam Dube, an all-rounder making his debut, who hadn’t bowled at all in the match. He then went for 9 off his first 3 balls.

 

Rohit Sharma = The Indian Tim Paine

NZ set England a fairly modest 181 to win after coming up short of what they looked like getting, and should probably have been closer to 200. England started well and were at 139-2 with 31 balls left, but then imploded as the inexperienced line up shipped 5 wickets for 10 runs in 18 balls. They finally ended up 15 runs short of the target.

These England reserves vs New Zealand reserves T20s are getting a bit boring. Bring on the Tests, the real stuff.

In Napier Morgan out for 91 with 2 balls left, Malan finishes on 103 not out, their partnership 182 from 74 balls, I think. England 241/3 should level the series.

Cricket Australia anticipated higher crowds for the Sri Lanka & Pakistan T20 series and hoping for a big crowd in Perth tonight due to the new Optus Stadium still being a crowd puller. Reports say their 35,000 below expectation. A 4:30pm local time on day heading for 35C might f**k that one up as did scheduling the Sri Lanka game in Adelaide as a Sunday afternoon game instead of a night game and the Brisbane game started at 6:10pm local time. These series are only on pay Tav so there were no fta ratings clashes. Cricket Australia would not be good at organising events in a brewery.
