If the bowlers can alter their lengths, or captains learn that spinners have a job to do in the middle overs of restrciting run rate, then I am sure Majid could come into his own. I mentioned his attentions may not have been on cricket, he had exams.

'Regarding Majid Haq - he clearly has had a lot more on his plate this summer, than cricket. '
Obviously something i don't know about. Shame as he was a big asset in the opening role, when not being run out!
Hope our bowlers can learn to vary their bowling regularly for T20. Makes life very hard for opposition batsmen. That was the reason Leics were so successful despite havig avery ordinary team in other forms.

Regarding Majid Haq - he clearly has had a lot more on his plate this summer, than cricket. I am encouraged by the move to promote Gavin Hamilton up the order to open with Ryan Watson. Our neighbours could learn from this, a pinch hitting opener is the difference in international terms of 60-90 runs off the first 10 power play overs, and a really poor start....well done selectors.

I'm not normally one to hand out plaudits but here goes:
Firstly, well done to the lads for sticking it out and beating Kenya thereby giving themselves a chance of getting to the WCT20 next year. I would certainly hope that Zimbabwe will be forced into an early decision of withdrawing from the tournament to allow the troops to purchase tickets for the matches.
And secondly sense has prevailed at last at Cricket Scotland HQ with the 20 week suspension of Mr. Sajjad of NVT Poloc. I would certainly hope the suspension which should last deep into the 2009 season will allow him to reflect on his quite outrageous behaviour and to whether he should return to the game at all. Perhaps the measure of the man will be that he accepts his ban and refuses the opportunity to appeal. The lengthy ban should also afford Poloc CC to sensibly look at whether they will allow him to continue his membership. Given the large number of kids coming through the ranks at Shawholm maybe it's time that the club sent a clear signal to all cricket members that this type of on-field attitude simply will not be tolerated.
Finally, good luck to the lads for the Kenya match starting tomorrow (weather permitting!).

@ David
Even when all's not going well Ireland still seem to rely on the old reserve, a good run of luck! Often it's far better to be lucky than good.
Personally i think Scotland and the Netherlands played the best cricket and can be more pleased with their performances in general aside from the outcome, especially the Dutch as they went all the way. Canada i thought also showed promise in this form of the game and were a bit unlucky not to be in the shake up.
As a Scot i was happy with our system in T20 but a bit miffed at the collapse against the Dutch having laid a perfect platform for attack.
Oh, just remembered, anyone know why Maijd Haq played ONE game and came in at number 10?
A year or so ago he was opening the batting and scorijng quickly, exactly what is needed in T20

We may be a very ordinary Irish side but we still managed to beat you!
Best of luck in the tournament - maybe you will be the Denmark a la Euro football 92?
