It will be on Sky Sports cricket you tube channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont know until the first inning is complete, because NRR can only be calculated at the completion of the game, so once you know what the target is you can calculate how close you need to get and how quickly in order not to slip behind. Our NRR is currently about .3 better than Netherlands, so that will take a fairly significant swing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) If Netherlands bat first and score 200 we have to get 172 If they get 300 we have to get 268 If they get 350 we need to get 316 These are examples, not cut off points, the exact total to qualify will be known once they've finished batting If we bat first the score doesn't matter so much in terms of what they need to do, it's about 44 overs give or take but obviously chasing 150 in 44 isn't as hard as chasing 350 in 44 Just saw @Marten post which beat me to it Edited July 4, 2023 by Fuctifano 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"f**k it" 6 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Given up. Scotland's intent early on was pathetic. Who plods along at three an over in the powerplay? They've given themselves absolutely nothing to build on and are now suffering for it. "Double f**k it" 4 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Decent finish, seems like they did better once I stopped watching. A couple of early wickets and you never know. "Hmm ..." 3 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Good start Mon Scotland "Better ..." 2 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Could do with breaking this partnership. "Biting nails" 2 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: SEXY TIMES. "Stand easy" 1 hour ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Get the f**k out. "Hopes rising" 1 hour ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Okay to start panicking again, yet? "Fears rising" 1 hour ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Magic. Brilliant result. Quick question, does the Dutch Super Over against the Windies count towards net run rate? "And breathe" The life of a Scotland supporter in microcosm - actual sport not all that relevant! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 It's a pity that the efforts of Scotland and the Netherlands in getting to this stage with the odds totally stacked against them are flying under the radar because of all the fallout from the Ashes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that it was scheduled for 7pm and assumed that was when it started, so was somewhat surprised to see they were already about ten overs in when the coverage began. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Pope out with his shoulder injury, and Tongue and Anderson out for the third test too. Moeen, Woakes and Wood take their places. Means a reshuffle of the batting order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tongue got some big wickets so surprised he misses out in a way although Wood back and hard to leave out Broad. Is Robinson a better bet? I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I’d have brought in Lawrence for Pope, left Moeen out, and dropped Robinson rather than Tongue. I agree with Woakes and Wood coming in, and leaving Anderson out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only think they are concerned about Tongue's fitness given how much time he missed with injuries. He got Khawaja and Warner with terrific balls and got Smith out twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
