I don't know if i'm alone but I hate the way the Aussie's drop the ball on the ground so quickly after taking catch. Its like laying groundwork for when they drop one and claim the catch

That's very irritating.
There are two things I hate about Australians playing cricket. The first is the unnecessary, raucous and nauseating shout of "Nno-Rrraaarrrn" whenever they tap the ball gently toward a fielder.
The second is everything else they say or do when playing.

I don't think that the Aussies are unique in that respect but there is a lot of it and I don't particularly like it either. In the days when the Umpire didn't require the ball after a wicket it didn't happen. There are also occasions, in particular with keepers, when players try to throw the ball up in celebration before they even catch it
Scotland have been absolutely shite in this competition.
Yep - out of their depth. Their batting has been woeful and players like Coetzer and MacLeod who, once upon a time were capable of a big innings even against the better playing nations, are coming to the end of their international careers.

Exactly this, how many of their batters were bowled/lbw? shouldn't be that many missing straight balls in an innings.
Namibia have at least shown a bit more talent and application than Scotland, I expect they'll put up more of a fight against India. For the neutral a big Afghanistan win on Sunday would at least mean there's an interest in the India game the following day. For me, as much as I've enjoyed watching Afghanistan; I hope NZ crush them and take it out of India's hands.

Perhaps just a win rather than a crushing one. India would still have the ignominy of having to turn up on Monday, play a dead rubber with Kohli desperately trying to justify why it's still an important match

a)it's cricket b)it's Scotland c)they're probably mostly English
If anyone from Scotland was really good, they'd play for ENG. As in Morgan playing for ENG not IRE. Weather in Scotland not conducive to playing cricket! They did well to qualify for the final 12 but jave been mostly poor since
I see they went with Wood to replace Mills. I think the obvious choice. The one niggling doubt I have is in losing that left arm angle which is so key in T20 cricket. Was half expecting to see Willey in for Woakes as the opening powerplay bowler ot give us that option. But woakes has been excellent so far and can't be dropped and we can't afford to lose Jordan as our death bowler. The other option was to use Topley instead of Wood but as much as I'm a fan of him Topley is half the bowler Wood is.

Since 25th March 2016 he has been out 28 times in T20 internationals - just one 50 and total runs of 378 at an average of 13.50
But
Come on Scotland.
