One bad innings and we are back to the tedious chat around who is eligible and and who qualifies and who has a visa and who might come back if we wish really hard enough.

I give it 5 mins before someone mentions Murray :lol:
Painful isn’t it

It’s been a bad day, and barring a miracle the boys will need to regroup and get ready for Scotland.

Scotland don’t have any bowlers of the ilk of the SL spinners, so we should be fine. Just need Gumbie & Ervine (or Kaia) to get us to the 15 over mark and we’ll be back to scoring 300+.

Theyve got a great bowling line up I think. That guy that bowls the dibbly dobblies is their danger man up front

If Evans actually ran in and stopped walking to the crease he might actually creep above 78mph. His ballance at the wicket is so stretched. It looks like he's got literally another 5mph in him but he's afraid to let rip. His wrist tells a story in itself

AF has made a great point about Evans overstriding.
Would be interesting of he shortened up.

Yea he massively strides doesn't he. Feel like if he ran in a bit more and jumped he'd be so much more effective

Generally if a quick doesn't take his eyes off the batsman thru his delivery he's got an extra yard in him. It looks like he can get thru the delivery more.
