    Sure may as well keep in line with the rest of our tournament

    Makes you wonder again why Dockrell wasn't playing in match against Oman?

    He hadn't been playing too well the last year in fairness though

    Maybe but conditions often seem to suit spinners here..

    edited to add: conceding 3.5 runs an over for two overs in a 6 over game is pretty handy.

    Be disappointing if they can't chase this down.

    Dockrell was brilliant. Hopefully we get into a rhythm quickly. These reduced overs leave no space to feel your way in

    With Dockrell in the side they should of had the edge over Oman. Why leave him out on a pitch like this is beyond me

    2 gone in 2 balls.

    He didn't need to make a go at that one, the odds were against him.

    Double Wicket Maiden in a 6 over match narrowly avoided, there.

    Yeah he did great today, I was just pointing out that his form has been poor lately compared to his old high standards (Stirling has also been poor), but that's the gamble you take when you drop someone, in our case it failed

    My stream died :(

    That's that. we have gone backwards a bit I think. 3 back to back wickets. Poor at bat and poor in the field

    Just as well this wasn't a 'live' match.

    Lost the early momentum and never recovered.

    You couldn't make any judgement at all based on this farce of a game - 20 overs is crazy form of cricket but reducing to 6 is just nonsense.

    28 for 1 after 2 overs, 19 for 5 in the next 4 overs. Dreadful stuff to watch :(

    True but from the little we saw our fielding looks to have gone backwards big time.

    I thought this myself last game, we used to be one of the best fielding sides

    My thoughts exactly. Very poor. Dropping catches let things slip through, slow in the outfield . was our best part of our game know we are weaker than most teams. Don't need many overs to workout that

    Lesson in batting here from Bangladesh - measured but relentless. Can't see Oman getting any further than this game.

    Absolute genius by NZ, read the pitch, replaced their great quicks with spinners and schooled India.

    For as long as Tamim stays in they'll fancy their chances, but agree that 200 is a bit much for Bang to chase.

    And they're one down...

    the run rate required is in around 10 thats going to take some great batting (but not unacheivable). hopefully it goes to the wire. some of the catches in this tournament have been insane!
