Haha an interesting chap. I think I ran into him on Wikipedia.
He's the guy who believes all Tests are friendlies and not proper competitions, right?

With this win, HK to lead the table with solid run rate
Edit: actually this will strengthen their position as they are already on top

Cant remember any opinions he holds. I just remember really not liking him for some reason. I think he has a blog somewhere?

Ah didn't realise there was a stream! Probably a good thing on this occasion but will be tuning into the other matches.
Surprised we didn't select a spinner or bowl even one over of spin in this match given we're soon heading into a T20WC in India. How is Majid Haq still not even in the squad? Would also like to see Leask get some decent opportunities with the bat heading into the T20WC too. When he does play, he seems to bat way too low in the order to have much impact.
What a disastrous result! Bowled out in less than 40, scoring less than 4 per over! Not too many positives. Maybe Ali Evans continuing his good form. Surely one of the best associate bowlers around now. MacLeod scoring a few after a shocking 2015. No one else even facing 30 balls let alone scoring 30 runs is disappointing. Hopefully that was the bad one out of the system and we can now see a competitive remainder of the series.

MacLeod actually bowled spin when he came on.
The Question on everyone's lips ? Did ***** go to the Reception !!
If so,how were the Scots after their unexpected pummelling by HK?
Named in the HK Squad - Is Chapman expected to play any games ?
Campbell's selection ( 44 year old Australian batting coach parachuted in for the T20 WC) very surprising given HK CEO Cutler's quest for acceptance of HK as a predominantly homegrown squad. Not a politically savvy move by HK. One can hear the critics sharpening their knives already. Will detract from the more positive aspects of HK's recent cricket development.
See its started already - Hong Kong pick 44 year old batting coach for World T20
Hong Kong have (unfairly) been maligned as a team of "ex=pats" in the past, which isn't really accurate as most of the squad is made up of players either born in Hong Kong or who learnt their cricket there.Campbell's selection will do little to dissuade people of that reputation. It is also likely to provide ammunition for the anti-associate cause.

The weather isn't looking flash atm. The game yesterday was rained out, and today is the reserve day, but it's still raining and the ground would have taken a battering last night, so it doesn't look good.
Campbell has HK Lineage apparently. But still an odd move for me too. With Chapman and Irfan Ahmed back for the WT20, who will be dropped from the starting XI to make space for all of them? And IDK if Campbell still keeps wicket. If he doesn't, does he field well or does he field like a 44 year old retired cricketer-turned-batting coach?
And if he doesn't play in the starting XI, then why pick him in the squad to begin with? He would already be touring with the side as their coach.
Strange decision. Lets see if it comes off.
