If Scotland beat Aus we are buggered as Aus are unlikely to lose their other game. If Scotland lose they need to lose big and we need to comprehensively beat Oman and Namibia, if we lose either of those games we are buggered. If any of our games are called off due to the weather we are buggered, if Scot v Aus is called off we are buggered.
Not looking very good at all really is it
No it isn’t. However Not looking very good at all really is it
I remain optimistic at this point because Australia will beat Scotland. By how much, that I don’t know but they will lose. If the Aussies take their foot off the gas I will be livid to put it mildly. We will win the next 2 games, weather permitting, and the only issue is how comprehensively. I honestly don’t see us not stuffing Oman and by a large margin. That is key. It will then allow us to go into the final game against Namibia knowing exactly what we need to do. That’s my take and we will know after the Oman game as to whether we stand a chance or not. After the bloody Aussies thrashed Namibia, I see Josh Hazelwood admitted indirectly that he'd like to see England get knocked out - which in effect means a gameplan to go easy against the Scots (but qualified it with that it wasn't up to him!).
Well, who never saw this coming?

Yeah just watched that and it made me feel a bit sick. Now Hazelwood musing over it doesn't mean they'd do it but the fact the journalist asked and the fact he's even thought about it feels so wrongWell, who never saw this coming?

Bloody Aussies. It also doesnt help that the NRR is reset after the group stages so there is no incentive for Aus to do anything about either theirs or Scotalnds, beyond sitting back to help knock us outWell, who never saw this coming?
They have the advantage of Aus-v-Sco being the final group match, so they'll know exactly what they need to do to get any result at that point, and they're already through so no real risk to them anyway if they want to make it a close game. All we can do is try to win our two games by as big a margin as possible so we are at least in the mix.
