Tom Bruce is a really good player, glad he's chosen to represent us. Looking forward to seeing how Zainullah Ihsan performs. He's got a very interesting backstory on how he ended up in Scotland.

hes a good lad. crazy he is playing a world cup only 3-4 years after playing hard ball cricket for the first time.
 
Scotland has atleast three or four players who are better than any players in the forever emerging loser team BD. Couple of them might even line up favorably against few Pakistanis.. excited to see what they will do.
 
Scotland should beat Nepal and Italy.

They are fully capable of beating West Indies too.

3 wins should propel them to Super Eight.
