I think Ireland are already through with their washout. With Germany now unable to qualify we are through if either of our game or Italy's game doesn't get played (of if we win and/or Italy lose). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Germany now unable to qualify we are through if either of our game or Italy's game doesn't get played (of if we win and/or Italy lose). Yeah, Ireland are through already indeed. I just had a look at the run rate calculation and Scotland are all but mathematically through already. Even if Italy win both their matches convincingly (like they reach 180 runs and bowl the opposition out for 90), Scotland can only finish below them on NRR if both the remaining games for Scotland are complete hammerings in the category of Spain v Isle of Man a few months ago (Spain bowled IOM out for 10 & then hit 2 sixes to chase their target in only 2 balls). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still their highest score of the competition so far, having been bowled out for 23 by Malaysia in their previous match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I suppose if you are going to get knocked over for next to nothing, you might as well do it at T20 scoring rates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Scotland struggle along to 159/7 v Denmark. Should be enough but less than I was expecting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) A bit of a struggle for Scotland’s batsmen today, not the typically fluent batting performance we’ve come to expect in these qualifiers (the match against Jersey aside). Berrington more or less single-handedly salvaged the innings, with brief late support from Leask. Not sure of the wisdom of bringing Mackintosh in at 5 - he looked nervous and tentative throughout (aside from one classy sweep shot), as he has in most of his performances with the bat for the national side to date. It’s definitely bowler-friendly conditions at the Grange today though. I’d expect 159 to be more than enough.

Boo Khaki Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Who is the bloke with the transatlantic accent who has been commentating on these games? He's beyond irritating. Appears to believe he can create excitement by randomly screaming whenever there's an significant event, and the volume of his voice doubles seemingly at random. Was bliss when he buggered off for half the Austrian innings the other day and it was just the other guy and the female guest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 This female on comms is a muppet anaw. Constantly referring to 'America' when she means the USA, "I'm going to sit on the bench" when she means "fence" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be wrong but think he's American and was defo doing some commentary earlier in the tournament. He's a muppet, remember a huge twitter rant he did about how England complaining about mankads could be attributed back to their colonial past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Nae point in staring at your bat when you never moved your feet. This is typical England. Decent Aus bowling, but they haven't got a clue how to temper their game and bat in these conditions. Utterly bizarre, with them being the Home nation.
