It has "We suck" written al over, we've seen them signs many times over recent years but somehow manage to rise to the occasion when it matters, quite often due to one persons heroics.

Would love to be wrong but i dont think so this time, sides will load their spinners up against us, saw in the last 3 T20's our guys really have no idea, and those wickets weren't even turning much

Cup, or wooden spoon?

We're terrible at that form of cricket and the selections go hand in hand with it.

Most of the squad is over-glorified Big Bash cricketers. Green has been our best bat the past two games, which says lots!

No guarantee on Ellis' fitness, now appears Zampa has groin awareness :shock:

First 3 of 4 games Ireland, Zimbabwe and Oman, on current form Oman would probably only be the guranteed win, the play Sri Lanka game 3
