Hertsscot Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Jimmy Anderson just announced his retirement from test cricket. Absolutely phenomenal career. As a fast bowler to have managed to play the amount of matches he has is quite incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Sco 90-0 10 overs Pinged for four to end the over! That means England's target from 10 overs is 109. Tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Solid win for Scotland against Namibia. If we beat Oman on Sunday I think it’s a good achievement. Still unlikely we will qualify but at least we will go into the last match with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Massive match about to start for Scotland against Oman. A win in good style will give them a very good chance of quakifying for the Super Eight stage. Edited June 9 by Caledonian Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Cracking win on the cards for Scotland with plenty of overs to spare. All good for the net run rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a superb run chase by Scotland. They have a real chance of making it to the Super 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one match left to play against Australia. A win and they are through as group winners and even if they lose with a healthy run rate then England would need to thrash Oman and Namibia hugely to pip us to second.

Ally Bongo Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Isn't it funny that usually Cricket is front page news and the headline sports story on the BBC It's been bumped to page 3 with the tits now there is a chance Scotland could knock out England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 England absolutely scud Oman in probably the most one sided match ever. Means if they beat Namibia and we lose to Australia that England will now likely qualify for the Super 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 It’s absolutely hammering it down in Antigua for the England v Namibia match. Should have started at 6. If no play then Scotland are through and England are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Tired of hard luck stories but I don’t think this team could have done any better. Pushed Australia all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a teenager they were the Superpower, incredible batsmen (Lloyd, Greenidge, Richards) and ferocious bowlers (Holding, Marshall, Garner). The decline must be heart breaking if you're a fan.

Even their 2nd edition with Lara, Walsh and Ambrose etc was something special. The best players from the Caribbean now concentrate on the world 20/20 circuit, given most of their economic backgrounds it’s fully understandable. The test team has suffered greatly as a result of this unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
