The Warm Ups

[FaaipDeOiad]

Symonds has been one of Australia's best 20/20 bowlers IMO. He's the only one whose experience in the format really seemed to help his bowling, and he uses changes of pace and so on quite well. I can think of two seperate 20/20 internationals in which he was clearly our best bowler.

I think his stats back that up too. I remember that Symonds and Collingwood used to be the joint leading wicket takers in 20/20 internationals, and might still be.

Watson will be a problem though.

51 in 19 balls for McMillan

Brad Hogg, three overs for 51...

Two of Symonds games were against England, who would make any spinner look good (the later game he came on against England's lower order and the earlier one he eventually got smacked a bit by Collingwood). I think these days players are much better at attacking bowlers like Symonds.

And another haha @ Hogg

Bowling figures add up to the higher score though.

Gillespie takes Hodge.

So does SuperSport's scorecard... Which like Cricinfo suggests Scotland still only scored 91 runs. Strange.

Yea Poonia and his 54 has disappeared in the Cricinfo scorecard.

Bangladesh are still batting (95/1) so presumably Scotland did score 145.

Bang' target is 146 according to cricinfo, Nazimuddin is making short work of the chase.

 

[Athlai]

Apparently cricinfo mixed Gillespie and Martin up.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea Cricinfo are being peculiar, they've chopped Malinga's 3-0-10-2 off in the SA v SL game now...

 

[Athlai]

Oh goodness Gillespies gone for 19 off his first over, bring on the spinners all of em!
