142-7. You my friends are going home
Good riddance. I hope that this will shock them into bringing fresh blood into their side, and to get rid of any dead wood and over arrogance.

I dislike Afghanistan so I don't care that they're out. Only in that it's a shame they won't be able to bloody Ire/WI noses a bit to help Zim.

This opens the group up a bit I suppose. SCO/ZIM/HK to progress?

We better hammer HK.

If Hong Kong win we are basically back at one. We need to win both remaining games. And the Scotland game will be tough.

I'm still backing the boys to come good when it matters. There's clearly a real sense of self belief streaming through the squad after the victory the other day

We must beat Hong Kong and Scotland. Losing to both would mean we take no points forward to the next stage which is basically game over. I would be stunned if we didn't beat Hong Kong and would favour us to beat Scotland also.

Am I the only who thinks it's criminal that the crunch match against Scotland is played at BAC? Where do you put the fans? One more proof that the ICC doesn't really care about this tournament.

But let's dispose of HK first.

The Hong konganese are fighting for their tournament life, their dreams, hopes and the cricket cash to feed their families Sweet and Sour pork w/ rice for years to come.
I think the part about pork does not really apply to this HK side ;)

Afghanistan may squeak thru if Nepal beat HK.
