That's the beauty.

I love Test cricket but at the same time, I realize T20 is the only format in which cricket can be globalized. It's the only format that can be played in the Olympics. if that means cricket is doomed, then that's what it is.

No one calls him the greatest player ever. He is better than the other openers in Bangladesh and that's it.

Then you are apart of that niche. TBH I just watch a few overs, come back and watch a few more overs.

Unless it is the last session where the winner will be decided, I try not to watch the whole match in its entirety, its way too time consuming.

Scotland 3 losses,now 1 against Ireland 20th.
Seems from 9 to 20th it is close.

[Night_wolf]

with sco losing we might be able to hold on to 10th place

Depends how Zimbabwe do against Pakistan and Australia.Who are not playing well.

as per t20 ranking predictor zim needs to win vs both aus and pak..don't see this happening

[brockley]

Ah zimbabwe on 58 with holland.When was it updated.

[Night_wolf]

with scot's tie with ire we survived the scotland scare.

now only Zim can take over us if they win vs pak and aus which is highly unlikely

[Night_wolf]

funny thing is if the current ranking stays untill dec 31, Afg will play the 2nd round straight and SL along with us will play the 1st round

[brockley]

If Scotland bt Ireland tomorrow they win the series,Scotland have 1 win 1 tie,Ireland 1 tie and and a win,Holland has 2 wins.Scotland would go up from 64 points Northward to Bangladesh who are on 70.

[brockley]

Scotland won the series,I guess they go up from 64 points.
Zimbabwe has picked a weak side against Zimbabwe and Pakistan,players strike,so only way is down.

To me.... smaller risk and I can handle that.

The bigger risk is we can again be the laughing stock of cricket world.
