die hard doonhamer

A 138 run victory for Scotland, with Namibia all out for 163. 3 wickets for Currie and Main, 2 for Leask and McMullen. 7 points from 8 from this set of matches, with only the rain in game 1 preventing a maximum haul. A decent couple of weeks work.

Have had these come up in the front garden. Stunning.

Scotland get 301-6, a bit underwhelming from where we were, tbh.

Berrington goes for an 81 ball 89, great knock. In the next over English gets to his hundred from 117 balls. Superb innings on debut. Scotland 233-3 with 10.3 overs to go

Last CWCL2 game at Forthill today, Scotland taking on Namibia. Michael English in for a long overdue debut, he’s currently 82 not out, with Berrington 54 not out. Scotland 180-2 from 33 overs.

I’m much closer to that assessment of him as well. I liked him, good physical presence, works hard and capable of a decent touch and finish. Doesn’t always come off for him, and sometimes he looks like a bit daft because of that. I’d have had him back.

Potts scored a ton in the championship at the start of the season, the lad can hold a bat.

A nice wee article about my club (with comments from me) on the Cricket Scotland website today https://www.cricketscotland.com/reintroduction-of-junior-section-at-breadalbane-already-bearing-fruit/

Looked like a niggle in his left ankle. Continued for 5 minutes after going down initially.

2009-2011 05 Renault Clio. Stereotypical Renault electrics. 2011-2014 09 Vauxhall Astra. Solid car. 2014-2016 58 Seat Altea XL. Great car, wife wrote it off. 2014-2016 57 Renault Megane. Renault electrics, again. 2016-2019 16 Fait 500X. Decent. 2016-2019 66 Vauxhall Corsa. Red with white racing stripes. Loved that car. 2019-2024 66 Nissan X-trail. Solid family wagon, but in last 6 months needed too many repairs. 2024-… 70 Seat Tarraco. Like it so far, though a bit heavy on fuel. Wife also has a fiat 500, 23 plate. She loves it, I’m less keen. It’s her second one of them.

Scotland win by 8 wickets with 32.4 overs to spare. Cassell’s figures earlier are the best ever on debut in ODI cricket, and the 7th best in the history of men’s ODI cricket. He was also the first to take wickets with his first 2 deliveries.

Scotland debutant Charlie Cassell opened up his international career with a triple wicket maiden on his way to figures of 7-21 from 5.4 overs against Oman today as Oman were all out for 91 at Forthill. Chase coming up shortly, it’s live on icc.tv

So you mean he does it the correct way?

Fucking get in there Bob!

I don’t think he’s the greatest there has been, but he is absolutely my favourite to watch. He’s the best swing bowler there has been, and I could watch the way he moves a ball forever.
