It's not C07 bro.

A couple of wides and they'd have been back in it

I am not convinced that we'll win this

Dear god, these openers look completely untroubled. Not much footwork, but not sure that it'll matter much

Simi Singh and his mixed bag spin could be key.

Definitely - it's all about spin here.

Given that most of the Bahrain players have a tape-ball background, they'll be fine with hitting 80 mph seam-up. Spin is what will make the difference

Junaid Aziz of Bahrain picked up another two wickets today, Stirling and Balbirnie. That makes his record for the tournament 5.5 overs, 7 wickets for 21.

Meanwhile, Germany has a Surrey 2nd XI player giving it some tap against UAE.

I really love to see stuff like this. I would love for cricket to get to a point where (for example) Justin Broad gets picked for a Blast game and the commentators unironically describe him as a German International

Pretty much what has happened with Tim David.

Dieter Klein was a German international during his time in county cricket. Gareth Berg is Italian captain. But might not be there with the unironic bit yet.

Hopefully no jinx, but Germany need 82 from 7. It's not impossible.

Broad gone. Jinx confirmed.

Yep, it's gradually happening

Although Tim David still felt like he had to sign up for the IPL as an Australian so idk if we're quite there yet, but there's been huge progress

Yeah I don't really get that. Maybe it means he's higher up the list of players alphabetically and in a different category for the draft.

I think it's that if he signs up as an Australian he (A) appears in the list of Australians when the franchise owners make their plans and (B) counts as uncapped

UAE need 47 from 17 to win the group
UAE need 36 from 12 or they're eliminated in third.

Bahrain doing an upset


2 sixes have changed things

And now the Bahrain captain is on a hat trick.
