Really excited to be working in my first franchise tournament as analyst for Brampton Wolves in the @GT20Canada. A lot of hard work to get to this point and thank you to everyone who has helped me get here. Buzzing with this opportunity!
Some stats, thoughts, analysis and notes on Scotlandās CWCL2 campaign.
A squad in a bit of transition that have given opportunities to youngsters, achieved their main goal and can hopefully progress further to the World Cup.

Went from bringing him in at the wrong stage of a T20 game to just binning him with 4 matches on his home ground right after being the highest run scorer in the regional series including 150 a few days ago. Wild.
End of the Scotland Regional Series T20.
Looking at the batting:
Leask & McMullen leading run scorers
Garden, McMullen, McBride, McCreath striking 150+
Van Zyl leading the averages
Garden, Hairs, McMullen, McBride best boundary hitters
<100 runs, Gould & Pillinger impress most

So Scotland (and other top associates) have to play 36 games over 3 years to qualify for a global qualifier. Which if they qualify from gets them into a tri-series qualifier to qualify for the World Cup. Beyond a shambles. š©
Good win and chase but not sure whatās actually been learnt in this game? Given the depth of openers domestically along with Jones/Orr, Iām not convinced moving McCreath up top is the answer. McBride picked after opening in club and A team cricket but batting 7 and not bowling?

Brandon McMullen finishes unbeaten on 44 as we chase down 160 with seven balls remaining to take a 1-0 lead in the series šŖ

Wrote this 2 years ago. Still a clear problem. No Leask or a set McMullen/Berrington = terrible death overs.
Last 4 overs this World Cup
England: 25 for 2
West Indies: 15 for 5
Italy: 44 for 2 (McMullen set & Leask)
Nepal: 35 for 4
Wattās improved. Use his LH option more.
The way Scotland use Michael Leask š¤¦āāļø poor record against spin, smashes seam at the death. Bring him in in the 13th over against Rashid & Dawson and heās out to spin and not there to finish the innings. Brought him in at the wrong time in 2/3 games.
Scotland have struggled most against left-arm seam, especially up front and at the end of the innings. Pleasantly surprised to see no Luke Wood, given that would be his exact role and heās very good at it.
We have named an unchanged XI for our Men's @T20WorldCup game against Scotland tomorrow š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ

Some thoughts ahead of the Mens Hundred opener tonight.
Top v bottom from last year. OI have maintained the core of their squad. Looking forward to Muyeye getting a run.
Pope the only survivor from LS batting unit last season. Fancy OI to be too strong.
Matchup sheets:

Phase stats:
OI excellent phase coverage and a nice seam attack. Double leg-spin worked last year & have Rashid Khan in the fold. Like their middle order batting.
LS without Smith, Jennings could come in. Luke Wood a nice signing. Responsibility on Chohan in the middle.
(2/2)
