Yes, Canada has not been great in the past at T20, a bit like Ireland. However this new bunch seems to be better at it than 50 overs. Singh, Dhaliwal, Cheema, Thomas with support from Nitesh, Saad, Wijeratne and Hamza...not bad on paper. Best wishes to them, hope they bring some cheer back in Canadian cricket!ray wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 7:31 amUpon reading further, by finishing 4th in their group Canada would have to win a single match to advance from this tournament. Whereas, finishing 2nd or 3rd gives them two shots at advancing. The prospect seems realistic. The issue is that Canada has very little experience in big games at this level and virtually no success in this tournament. The T20 format is one in which we have badly under-performed. It will take something special from Dhaliwal, Cheema, Singh and especially the bowlers to succeed. Wins over Jersey, Nigeria and Hong Kong are their best chance in their group.
Squad is still not announced as of October 8th AM. All we know so far is that Navneet Dhaliwal is the captain from CC Facebook: "Wishing you all the best in Dubai Skipper Navi!". Are they waiting on the availability of one or more players?
On the downside we still have CC doing what it does best, show incompetence.
