biffer Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Out in the middle East this week, qualifying one day games for the next world cup. Won the first three (2 v Papua New Guinea, 1 v Oman). Currently playing Oman again in what might be another tight one. Lots of Scotland cricket this summer - two sets of four ODIs in the qualifying tournament plus 2 T20s and an odi vs New Zealand.
dan cake Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62283600 I suppose at least they all had the decency to resign, sad stuff given the multicultural nature of cricket.
Hertsscot Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 On 7/24/2022 at 9:11 PM, Ally Bongo said: The BBC have given extensive coverage to this - albeit cricket being a fringe sport in Scotland Added to that it is absolutely riddled with Unionists It is depressing to read. The racism is by far the most important issue and completely unacceptable but you also suspect the national team might well have been more successful! At one point this was the second story on the BBC news which given the minority status of the game in Scotland does make you very suspicious of the editorial decision making.
biffer Posted October 17, 2022 Author Posted October 17, 2022 Fantastic win against the West Indies in the first round of the T20 World Cup! Didn't just slip past them, gave them a bit of a kicking. Tremendous stuff.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 A great performance by Scotland. They would have liked more runs to defend but the bowling and catching was top notch aided by abject West Indies batting too. Next up Ireland who will be a tough match. Can we back up this win with another to make the Super Six stage?

dan cake Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Shouldn’t be losing to Ireland from 61-4 after 10 overs, really disappointing. Rain forecast for Friday, match abandoned would see us through 🤞
dan cake Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Englandshire lose a tight first Ashes test at Edgbaston, probably should have won but couldn’t put the Aussies tail away. Think this is going to be a classic series, very little between the teams
biffer Posted June 21, 2023 Author Posted June 21, 2023 Scotland beat Ireland in a thriller today. 91 off 61 balls from Leask, four off the last ball wins it.

EddardStark Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 We blew Irelands top order away but for some reason let them get to 280 plus. Then we never looked like getting there for a long time. Think we were 154/7 at one point. Superb result but its a really tough gig to qualify when the Windies and Sri Lanka are in the qualifying tournament.

EddardStark Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 What a win against the West Indies today. It’s still a massive ask to finish in the top 2. We need Sri Lanka to beat Zimbabwe tomorrow and then we need to win our last 2 games.

For anyone like me who grew up with the fantastic teams of the 70s and 80s that is simply incredible. A teenage me would never have believed it were possible. Edited July 1, 2023 by Hertsscot

Beat them in T20 last year. Would have beaten them in the World Cup qualifying tournament last time (2018) as well if it wasn’t for an outrageously bad umpiring decision.

Seen them play Scotland at the grange late 80s early 90s Brian Lara, Courtney Walsh, Curtly Ambrose, Shivnarine Chanderpaul et al. They were drinking, handing out pizzas to fans and generally just treating the match as a jolly, never thought we’d be beating them in a competitive game
dan cake Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 England lose the 2nd test at Lords despite an excellent innings from Stokes, Ashes gone now for England me thinks
Toepoke Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Great start by the Scots in the field today! Zimbabwe still favourites but they've given themselves a chance.
