Just to highlight some of the minnows again until the real stuff kicks off
4 in 4 balls for Campher from Ireland .... great work
IRE vs NED Cricket Scorecard, 3rd Match, First Round Group A at Abu Dhabi, October 18, 2021
Live Cricket Scoreboard: Get Ireland vs Netherlands 3rd Match, First Round Group A, cricket scorecard, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021/22 dated October 18, 2021.
9.2 to CN Ackermann, short tailing down leg, big appeal for caught behind from Campher. Didn't sound like anything live as Ackermann is late on an attempted pull but both Campher and the keeper Neil Rock have convinced captain Andy Balbirnie to call for the review for possible caught behind. But it's a quality sales job by Campher as replays show Ackermann has gloved this with a spike showing up on UltraEdge! Another bad ball wicket for Ireland. After so much poor luck against the Dutch since that match at Sylhet in 2014, everything is going their way this afternoon in Abu Dhabi.. 51/3
9.3 to RN ten Doeschate, pitched up and pinned in front! Tendo goes first ball! Campher has two in two and Netherlands are in trouble. Someone needs to put a finger in the dyke! Full and straight and ten Doeschate, who announced his retirement from county cricket last month and has not been in great form, was stuck in treacle, bat coming across the line - looked to be hitting leg stump. 51/4
9.4 to SA Edwards, goes full again, hit on the front pad... not given this time! Rod Tucker shakes his head, Campher looks imploringly at him. That looked close to me, and Ireland are going to review. No footwork once again, beats the inside edge of the bat... and Hawk-Eye has it smacking leg stump! Curtis Campher has a hat-trick! Netherlands have had the stuffing knocked right out of them. 51/5
9.5 to RE van der Merwe, bowled 'im! FOUR IN FOUR! Campher has done a Malinga, as van der Merwe throws the bat and drags a wide one into off stump. Incredible scenes as the Boys in Green seize control in Abu Dhabi. Campher had none for 12 at the start of his over - now he has 4 for 13!!. 51/6You're bloody kidding me! I was watching that game, getting a bit tired in that 10th over. Thought I'd just watch that over, and be done with it, there were weird Indian ads that seemed to last an eternity between overs.
First two balls were wickets, and after each wicket they launched into those gloriously bad ads again, with no variety, like clockwork. I finally gave up, not even thinking straight enough to realise I was missing a hattrick ball, and pissed off to bed.
What the hell was I thinking

ENG vs NZ Cricket Scorecard at Abu Dhabi, October 20, 2021
Get cricket scorecard of ENG vs NZ, ICC Men's T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches 2021/22 at Tolerance Oval, Abu Dhabi dated October 20, 2021.
Little Kane and the Neesh don't have much to do to improve on their competitors' performances in this one.
Given the flier that Guppy gave us, the middle order botched this badly.
Somewhat concerning that Kane's elbow is presumably troubling him enough that he's not having a bat.
-
So after the final qualifiers it seems the pools are:
Australia
England
South Africa
West Indies
Sri Lanka
BangladeshAfghanistan
India
New Zealand
Pakistan
Scotland
NamibiaTo me, we're clearly in the weaker pool - notwithstanding the likelihood that the Afghans have all sorts of mystery spinners (in fact, I think their best guy might have stayed home). Edit: I'm wrong - he quit as captain, but is there.
But, in the weirdness of ICC draws - the first pool game is India vs Pakistan and then our first two games are against Pakistan and India. So we won't be too far into the tournament and one of the big teams will be needing someone else to slip up against a minnow.

ia
New Zealand
PakistanOnly two from the group make it through so it seems the first few games will pretty much decide who it's going to be from our pool.
Hopefully the warm games don't mean much, otherwise our tournament will probably be over a few days time.

Take them with a grain of salt, really.
It's a bit of a crapshoot.
Will be very handy if our somewhat lesser lights like Seifert and Phillips can get going and contribute in the big games.
Santner and Ish are going to have big jobs.

Saffas struggling a bit against the Aussies
23 for 3 after 4.1
Losing wickets regularly.
Zampa with 2 wickets in this over.
Saffas 6-82 after 14
-
Haha that was as bad as they come when it comes to run outs.
7-83
-
Saffas got a lot closer than I expected when I went to bed.
They had a chance at a caught and bowled in the 2nd to last over, that could have tipped the balance their way.
England delivered the Windies an absolute pasting - despite losing 4 wickets getting past the Windies mid-50s effort.
Early days - but, ball has dominated bat.
-
Holy Cow, Marty! Pakistan thumps India by 10 wickets!
Bangladesh had Sri Lanka on the ropes in the earlier game, but dropped a couple of catches and mucked around trying for cheap overs when they should have used Shakib to go for the throat. Momentum shifted quickly and they lost.
-
Omg our big games are going to be at 3am. That's a hell of a time for a T20 to start.
-
Also I'm gonna be pissed if we manage to win this thing, as that CWC farce would have cost us the chance of holding all 3 trophies at once.

What an abomination of a draw/schedule. Our first game is v Pakistan (their second game) yet there are an even number of teams (6) in the group.
We could have really done with those 5 abandoned matches.
Pakistan will be happy beating their mortal enemy but after abandoning our tour there, they will be really hungry for 2 wins from 2.
3am start is diabolical though -

f**k you Danyal Rasool.."punch above their weight" , although anything can happen in T20, at some stage these mofos are going to have to respect our achievements

I've heard Gary Stead and Kane Williamson talking up the relationship between the two sides. I think it'll probably be fine in the long run, but at the moment they're either just saying the 'right things' for the media, or they're very naïve...

I’m pretty happy to hold the most important trophy. Anything else is a bit of a bonus, nothing more.

I'm still fucking furious about the CWC and the test championship did nothing to subdue that. It was the biggest farce I've ever seen in an international sporting event. We have a world class team and we deserve to hold both trophies not just one.
