Cusack attempting the short stuff, no one's told him he's a medium pace dobber. When you get hit twice for cross-batted fours down the ground you're probably not hurrying the batsman

The Semi's

NED know how to go deep in tournaments ! The Dutch have a strong squad in Dublin. Ireland's struggles continue. As skipper Porterfield post match v HK put it - " our batsmen are struggling to adapt to Irish conditions " !
Scotland won the toss and the game on a sporty pitch early morning at Malahide. . Did HK win a toss all tournament ? Scots swarmed all over them. But HK, at 11th , were the highest ranked T20I team in the Semi's. Inconsistent but decent effort by the youngest squad in Ireland. Have one seriously classy young batsman as well.

Weather's been good. A bit hot. Had some thunder storm warnings last weekend but things are fairly clear now.

Another Qualifier for Asian Associate countries despite current ICC rankings

Another major international tournament where Associates will be required to walk the tightrope of a Qualifier. Only one Associate to play in the 2016 Asia Cup - T20 Format.

One Associate to feature in 2016 Asia Cup | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Current ICC rankings have Afghanistan at 9, Bangladesh at 10 , and HK at 11.

T20 Rankings - ICC Team Rankings | ICC Cricket

Why have ICC rankings ? Do Full Members eg; Bangladesh have to qualify ? Of course not says ACC - now run by ICC. Oman too has T20i status so why not simply include all Asian sides with this status in this Asia Cup ? Sadly no Nepal but, despite generous investment by ACC/ICC in Nepal's cricket development over the past 6 years, and post earthquake by India, Nepal's international results at recent Associate Qualifiers ,do not justify their inclusion.

Nepal should be included in the qualifiers and expand the tourney to 6 teams minimum. 2 teams to qualify from the qualifiers would have been better option. Also Bangladesh has been dire in T20s and rankings show it too.
