topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Zimbabwe finish with 6 points from 5 Games Scotland have 6 points from 4 Games and are 2nd on Run Rate Netherlands have 4 points from 6 Games and have a better run rate than Zimbabwe so if the win they'll over take Zimbabwe I think there's the possibility that Scotland can lose against Netherlands and yet still go through if the margin is narrow enough that we're still ahead on run rate but that's for later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bat first and use all 50 overs they'll need to chase it down in about 45 instead of 50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just go for the win... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are bowled out then the innings counts as 50 overs for NRR purposes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghanaian Orangeism got quite a bit of publicity at one point after a rather bemused looking African gentleman showed up wearing a collarette on the Lower Ormeau Road in Belfast when it was the big cause celebre for Republican "concerned residents" before Drumcree and later the Ardoyne shops became their main focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I think i have ever watched Scotland play so many games back to back, and the team has grown on me game by game.
