An outstandingly stupid decision. Just play the best bowlers ffs.
 In a similarly stupid move, Joe Root has been told he’ll bat at 3 in the series. Just had one of the best years anyone has ever had at his preferred position of 4, so obviously England want to f**k with that as well.
 At least Jos Buttler has been dropped, and they didn’t bring Sibley back. 
Broad, unsurprisingly, is publicly fucking seething. Yet another PR triumph for the ECB then. Christ.

Scotland’s T20 champions, Carlton, are playing in the European Cricket League T10 competition in Malaga, starting today. Their first game is at 2 o’clock today, and can be watched on freesports (sky 420), or on YouTube at https://youtube.com/c/ECNEuropeanCricketNetwork

The standard is mixed, to say the least, and I’d expect Carlton to get through the group this week and in to the playoffs, which happen in a few weeks time.

Ireland won by 7 wickets against Germany with almost 7 overs to spare as they ended up as group winners after Bahrain beat the UAE.

Ireland will face either Nepal, Canada or Oman in the semi tomorrow, with the winner going to the T20 World Cup in

Canada are playing Nepal at the moment and were all out for just 80.

Oman skittled the Philippines for just 36.

Cluj 56-4 at halfway. Hugo Southwell now on to bowl
 

As in the former Scotland Rugby International? I know Andy Goram used to be a quiz answer about cricketers and footballers (although did he ever play for Scotland at cricket?) but Southwell must be in a select few for that pairing.

Yep, one and the same.

Goram played 2 first class games for Scotland, both against Ireland, one in ‘89 and the other in ‘91. He also played a List A match v Yorkshire in ‘89, and one v Sussex in ‘91.

Didn't Rangers ban him from playing cricket in case he broke a finger or something?

5 wins from 5 for Carlton in the group stage. Next up is a round robin against the other top 3 sides, with the top 2 getting a double chance to make the final.

 It’s Carlton v Cluj first up tomorrow at 8am, and then they will play Olten at 12. The finals day is then on Friday, with the schedule for that set after the results are known tomorrow.

Another 2 wins today, so Carlton will play in the first qualifier at 8 tomorrow morning. Win that, and they’re in the final. Lose, and they get a second chance to make the final against the winners of the first eliminator, which is the second game on tomorrow.

 Carlton have been a class above the other sides here, tbh. I’d expect them to come through tomorrow, then the finals week next month will be much more interesting.
