die hard doonhamer Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Did well at the end. Watt and Sharif were both very very good. 172/5. Big chase, which I can't see us getting, but stranger things have happened! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Did pretty well at the end to keep them to 172. Watt and Shariff were excellent. Think that will be 50 too many.Absolutely this. Anything much over a run a ball at this level with where we're at currently is a big ask. We need a lot of luck and to learn to take catches. In the preliminary round we were catching worldies so I wonder if it's a mentality thing with us currently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Very few sides in the world have anyone with the quality of Martin Guptill. Under the circumstances, Scotland bowled as well as could be expected. Sadly, we now have to bat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We simply can't afford to bat out maidens, even against high class opposition. Matt Cross has had a stinking world cup (batting) and he played, and missed, exactly the same shot for every ball of that over. This part of the game will kill us unless we can break the shackles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Sensational over that. Really should have been more than 20! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Almost 12 an over needed now. MacLeod and Berrington seem to be wanting 7 or 8 overs to play themselves in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyBear Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Were doing fine and then a really poor choice of shot from MacLeod. He has had a poor competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We did a fair bit better with the bat than I thought we would, to have any shot of a game of it we needed to not let them off the hook when they were 3 down. Sub in Carlos Braithwaite here please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyBear Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 That was about as good as we could hope for against that attack. Some hitting from Leask at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 No disgrace that, just Guptill was too much for us but losing by 16 runs against New Zealand is nothing to be ashamed of. Shame we couldn't bat like that against Namibia or would have won at a canter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Very good performance in reality. A bit of slack bowling in the middle overs and probably the same when batting have cost a shot at a shock result. It’s the little things that make such a big difference playing against the top opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Better performance from Scotland today, but Davey was a big miss. Evans and Wheal in particular leaked far too many runs, and Leask turning his arm over isn’t really a great option against the better sides. Just don’t get it with Ali Evans - he’s never international standard. Bowls far too short and far too many wides. You’ve no chance in T20 when one of your bowlers is bowling 8 balls an over. Also Calum MacLeod is really starting to annoy me with all his fancy flicks and reverse sweeps. Just hit the bloody ball properly.
