topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Bangladesh beat Oman but not be a great deal so realistically Scotland are going to have to beat Oman to win the group because we're not going through in 2nd Which means if we do go through then England avoid us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Unsurprisingly Bangladesh trounced PNG so Scotland vs Oman is an eliminator. It was looking a bit iffy Wickets in the 15th and 16th have strengthened Scotland's hand Oman are 103/6 with 18 balls to play. Scotland are probably going to be chasing about 130 to win the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 123 the total to chase. Being described as eminently reachable which gives me the fear. But if we do get there I assume it means we get to keep cricket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 58/1 after 7 overs Almost half way after just over a third At this run rate we'd have this wrapped up with 5 overs to spare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Can someone explain how the run rate tiebreaker works and why we would be 3rd in the group if Oman/Bangladesh/us all have 2 wins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiously Ireland has 5 provinces for cricket purposes Ulster has two provinces the Northern Cricket Union (based in Belfast covers most of Northern Ireland) and the Northwest (Derry/Londonderry covering the rest of Northern Ireland and the bits of Ulster that are in the Republic) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it we'd ignore the games against PNG So it's (Runs Scored/balls faced) - (Runs conceded/balls bowled) based on the games between us According to TMS if we'd score 121 and lose this by a single run having beaten Bangladesh by 6 runs we'd be 2nd But that's irrelevant now We're through with a massive six 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of butif you get bowled out very, very quickly then you'll lose the match and dropping points is worse If you're playing against a markedly inferior opponent batting then if you're batting 2nd you can play more aggressively take more risks and and get something like 80/6 after 8 overs as opposed to the 80/2 after 12 overs you'd have got normally Which is why I think they would have ignored the results against the whipping boys of Papua New Guinea to resolve a three way tie It shouldn't be an issue tomorrow Sri Lanka will top that group and the winner of Ireland vs Namibia will have to face the awesome and terrifying might of Scotland (also India, Pakistan, New Zealand and Afghanistan) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 That was a thoroughly enjoyable listen and in terms of Scottish international sport absolutely massive. Cheers @topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you get bowled out then you are considered to have batted your full allocation of overs for the purposes of net run rate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
