Group B - Ireland, Scotland, West Indies, Zimbabwe

Great to see two of the best UK countries playing this game instead of the turgid dross england usually dishes up.

Well it’s a beautiful early summer’s day in Hobart. Was warmer yesterday too, I hiked up kunanyi/Mt Wellington from the Springs trailhead and back down to Fern Tree. Very chilly at the top but otherwise good hiking weather.

Hobart is beautiful. Under rated town. Hope you get down to the water front of a night. Some decent bars, pubs and eateries about the joint.

I'd trade Starc for Little in a heartbeat

How was that not given out?

 

[TheJediBrah]

I can answer your question with another question

How is Dharmasena still umpiring?

I’ve been a couple of times before, once in the summer and once for Dark Mofo. I do like it a lot but it is so similar to Wellington and Dunedin, don’t think I could live here.

A Little what?

 

[TheJediBrah]

A Little what?

A little bit better bowler

 

[Burgey]

ok

Very good of the organisers to put Ireland and Scotland on in the southern most State in order to avoid the worst effects of sun burn and skin cancer.

Matthew will be cross with that dismissal

Feels like I haven't seen Dockrell bowl in a long time.

Feels like I haven't seen Dockrell bowl in a long time.

He's been absolutely smashing it with the bat the last few months and rarely bowling.

 

[Burgey]

Scotland well on the way here.

 

[straw man]

Would've assumed from the outset that Scotland were the last favoured of this group, and here they are about to qualify first.

Not even THE ProTECTOR could save Ireland.

 

[straw man]

Spoke too soon - 40 off the last 3 overs though helped by some rank bowling. 66 off 36 is doable.

Scotland well on the way here.

The KOD strikes again!

 

[Burgey]

That’s a ****ing great chase

 

[Prince EWS]

The pattern holds.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What an innings and run chase!
