Last over of PP here

Scotland are a competent side and in Koetzer they have a very good batsman. But i cant see them beating a FM at the WC next year (maybe theyll beat Bangladesh). They also have the same problem as us in that the bowling is just medium pace trundling. In Haq they have an excellent spinner though

 

[Justcrazy]

38 / 0 after 6

 

[Justcrazy]

Haq on , can he get wicket ?

 

[mhraja]

Exactly the same colour kits? Cricket should also have a second kit (like football's away kit) when two same colour kit countries are playing. Lot of Green and Blue in cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

40 / 0 after 7

Good over by haq

 

[Justcrazy]

44 / 0 after 8

 

[Justcrazy]

This game more or less like a 20 20 , just 23 over a side

Ireland has shown phenomenal growth at the International Level only in a mater of few years whereas Scotland inspite of playing since a long time , as far as I can remember Scotland played in the 1999 WC, has still not showed any decent progress or improvement , nor have they ever beaten a strong side .

True , scotland do not look like that good Team compared to other Minnows , it is surprising because they have strong roots in cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

59 / 0 after 9 overs

Poms now looking to increase the rate

 

[Justcrazy]

Rain in the air , will it play spoil sport

 

[Justcrazy]

69 / 0 | 10 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

75 / 0 after 11 overs.

So far it is evident that scots lack wicket taking bowlers . This is something they need to work on , if they want to progress to next level.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms will now take charge , they have all wickets intact

 

[Justcrazy]

rain is getting heavier

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Very effective jinx there

 

[Justcrazy]

First blood by Scots here

 

[Justcrazy]

Very effective jinx there

Thanks

 

[Justcrazy]

Morgan comes in now

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Rain.

Game over i feel

 

[Justcrazy]

Match again delayed

Rain

 

[MarkCooper]

Hope they get a game in so no refunds are needed. Hopefully the club that runs the ground makes a lot of cash from this big crowd.

 

[Justcrazy]

20 overs a side now, pure 20 20

 

[Justcrazy]

Reduction in overs will suit Scots here

 

[Justcrazy]

116 / 2 after 16

 

[Justcrazy]

Some more rain

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

good start to the over , Morgan finds gap

 

[Justcrazy]

20 more balls left for Poms

 

[Justcrazy]

129 / 2 after 17

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Poms finding boundaries here

 

[Energetic]

We should thrash Scotland with ease. Yawn. Like the new-look fresh England side. Should bode well for our future.

 

[Bickers]

I don't know about new look, it's largely the same idiots who failed in the World T20 plus old timers Cook and Bell.

 

[MarkCooper]

its pissing it down

 

[MarkCooper]

this game is dead i think

 

[Justcrazy]

151 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Batting PP now , just one over

Keep going England.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 / 2 after 5 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Jordan leaking runs

 

[Justcrazy]

there are still some dark clouds around

 

[Justcrazy]

37 / 2 after 7 overs

[Justcrazy]

Good hit

 

[Justcrazy]

118 required of 60 balls

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Scotland look devoid of energy really. Their big hitter Leask is in so we'll see how he does. Theyd want to improve big time over the coming months though

 

[Justcrazy]

Scots should look to smash a few out of park here

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 :6

Good entertainment

 

[eradicator]

Scotland , Netherlands, Canada , Hong Kong are all boring teams that will take forever to improve.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bopara strikes

Scotland , Netherlands, Canada , Hong Kong are all boring teams that will take forever to improve.

Dont agree with you re:scotland. They have a solid batting unit. Netherlands are also solid but rely too heavily on expats. The Scots however do have some good young players such as Leask

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Leask doing an o brien here

 

[Justcrazy]

Leask is doing well

 

[Ahson8]

Where can I watch this ??

 

[Justcrazy]

Tredwell gets Leask

 

[Justcrazy]

Where can I watch this ??
