    @donsteppa I think we've got to roll the dice a bit with that.

    To play another batsman we've got to leave out a specialist bowler and trust Neesh and Phillips to muddle through 4 overs.

    Whereas, if we play Seifert, we may not need him to bat if Kane and Conway can do a bit more than last night. And if you need your No. 7 to bat for more than 10 balls you've already fucked up enough to probably not deserve to win.

    Milne gets carted for 5 consecutive boundaries.

    After a maiden in his first over against the same batsmen. 🙂

    That was very odd - Cross looked clueless in the first over and smoked Milne in the second.

    Milne's overs went for 0, 20, 7 and 9.

    Scotland are pretty handy - I think they were missing one of their best seamers as well. You can see how they've smoked plenty of opposition - including the Bangles and England!

    Interestingly - the guy who made 140 that day (vs England) was MacLeod, who looked like a weak link last night.

    I'm pleased he didn't come off.

    @Chris-B agree Scotland have some decent players, I'm happy to notch up the W and move on. T20 is a fickle version of the game where lesser teams can easily knock off the top teams with just one or two good performances, which is why it is not taken as seriously as the longer formats. We just have to bullshit our way to the semi and then hope one of our world class players has a couple of good days at the office.

    @no-quarter Exactly.

    Muddle our way into the semis and then win two tosses, bowl the opposition out cheaply and run down their tallies losing no more than two wickets!

    There you go Stead - should be all you need. A double-headed coin and lots of luck! 🙂

    Make that eight bowlers, I had Daryl Mitchell in mind instead of Phillips 🙂

    @donsteppa 🙂

    Mitch Jr. will be dispatched over the boundary with similar velocity and regularity as Neesh and Phillips!

    A deflected overthrow to beat England in the SF will be a good start!

    Then we should probably get Finn Allen into the side as a specialis.... oh... never mind 🙂

    @donsteppa Mitch Jr. probably earned his place vs India - though his innings on TV was a bit less fluent than I was expecting after reading the commentary.

    Right now, you wouldn't mind having Finn in the squad.

    How? It wasn't even that hot or humid by Indian or Australian standards, let alone normal Dubai standards?

    lol perhaps ask him? He was struggling out there significantly if you were watching him, could barely stand near the end.. bad curry? flu?
