Simon Doull or Danny Morrison said our record of qualifying for ICC World tourney semis is second only to Australia at 11 consecutive berths. Or something like that. Amazing
so you're telling me we probably have the worst conversion rate for winning a title from making a semi

I don't think there's a probably about it.

So, a 3am start v England looms...
Not sure what to make of this one. The relative lottery of T20I's, 'yet another bloody ICC knockout game'... and it would be very nice to knock England out after the 2019 drama.
given tournament form i expect them to murder us and play Pakistan in the final

I'm clinging to the hope that they magically fall to bits without Jason Roy.

Here is my crystal ball prediction
Aus beat Pakistan (Paksitan bet on themselves and fall apart)
NZ lose to Eng in a coin tossEng beat Aus in final
Else if the coin lands other way Aus beat NZ in final as we are their gimp in most head to head scenarios

So, basically anyone but Pakistan to win? Sure you don't want to hedge with them?

I reckon you’re definitely right about Pakistan.
They’re crickets equivalent of the French Rugby team.

lol only 2 teams win Eng or Aus depending on who makes the final, most likely and Eng win

Pakistan are ranked 2nd in the world at T20s, they bat deep and have a world class bowling attack. They are also essentially at home in the UAE, so it's no fluke that they've been one of the top sides. I have a Pakistan - England final with Pakistan taking the chocolates as the most likely outcome.

Same.
Aus a chance to peak at right time, and spoil it for either those two,though.

agreed.
We may burgle 1, but can't see us burgling 2

Bloody realists.
This thing is ours to lose, boys!
-
Australia to win, with Davy Warner at the forefront - all just to annoy me!
So - any changes to our team for tonight?
If it's going to be similar to the Afghan game, I'd be tempted to bring in Jamieson for one of the spinners. Probably Ish - who I'm reading has a poor record vs England and a KJ/Ish swap would strengthen the batting a trifle.
They could also bring in Seifert, but that would expose the remaining bowlers too much I think for marginal gains with the bat.

Midnight our time.
Sorry, will have to miss it.
Booboo in bed. Best effort I can muster.
