He should have been on as soon as Watt got clattered for 20'odd. They could get away with one over like that, but not two, and I don't see De Leede hitting Sole for 3x Sixes in an over no matter how set he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Without really knowing too much of the tactical side of the game, why were they leaving Watt and McMullan in at the end there instead of going with Sole or Leask? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England dropped Marsh on next to nothing and he's busy slapping their bowling silly. They could have had the Aussies 100 for 7 or 8 and given themselves a chance to save the series, but as usual for England, they got the dropsies when it mattered most. What's the bigger embarrassment? Scotland not qualifying for a 10 nation World Cup despite totally outplaying expectations, or England getting slapped silly by Australia, at home, yet again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Effectively having them 0/4 chasing 170 in a T20 and losing by 4 wickets is a pretty grim way to choke it away, the money we would have got for qualifying could have provided so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody had been tonking the ball out of the ground, and in most instances when they had tried it the ball was coming down well short of the ropes, so I don't understand at all the need to have your fielders right out and let the opponent run two's all day. You may as well bring them in 5 yards, because it cuts down the two's, it's where the mishits are dropping, and if it goes over your head it's probably 4 or 6 regardless. The fact there were two catches went down with fielders running in 5-10 yards tells you they were too deep.

Marten Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 9 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Yeah, if the ICC weren't shitebags who only care about the test elite, Scotland would still have qualified easily. Yep, fully agreed. I'm not the kind of person to now rub it in, although obviously personally I'm delighted. Scotland were great this tournament and in all honesty, it's a travesty that this World Cup is so restricted as both nations (and also Zimbabwe imo) would have deserved to be there. Thankfully this is the last one with only 10 nations but in all honesty, biased as I am admittedly, I believe Scotland and The Netherlands have both more than shown over a long enough period that we should become full members. We're no weaker (and both stronger now imo) than Ireland who are full members! Good luck to Scotland in the T20 qualifying tournament that follows in 2 weeks, I've just bought a ticket to head down to Edinburgh, this time I will be rooting for Scotland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
