skygod Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Great performance today by Scotland against a very strong England team in a One-Day International in Edinburgh. Scotland scored 371-5, their highest ever ODI score. England were hammering the bowling all around the park but wickets have fallen and they're now 256-5 after 34 of their 50 overs. Could be a tight finish and even a historic win. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted June 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Scotland throwing it away - their bowling in the last few overs hasn't been nearly good enough. England's "death" bowling prevented Scotland getting to 400 - Scotland's is letting the game slip away.

Beaker71 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yessss fantastic result Scotland. Superb batting and stuck in when England looked to have got on top. made a total mockery of the ICB decision to restrict the number of associate teams at the World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Excellent performance. Scotland were a bit light in the bowling department but the spinner Watt was excellent and we fielded really well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker71 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Is the Scotland team full of South Africans that can’t get a game for England or South Africa but flew into Prestwick airport once for their plane to refuel so qualify to play for Scotland ? Nope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a more descriptive title would be advised. Perhaps something along the lines of “Scotland v England @cricket” -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something along the lines of “Scotland v England @cricket” I thought it was self-explanatory, but then I was able to work out that “Tyson Fury” was about a boxing bout! Getting many bites on the Nadal thread, by the way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting many bites on the Nadal thread, by the way? You were able to work out Tyson Fury was about a boxing bout because I gave it a self explanatory title. But I should have know this would have been something dull as dishwater because you posted it. I’ll know better in future. No idea what you mean about the Nadal thread. Simply expressing my admiration for a world class athlete on his latest achievement. Did you not know the tennis was on? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_geezer Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I never thought I’d find myself on opposite sides with Brian and Zorro. I’m disappointed. Anybody who doesn’t get cricket can’t be my pal . Plus - We beat England !! What’s not to love ? Great game , and you get to have lunch and tea . Met my first missus at a cricket tea , she could butter a scone . Second Mrs G was less tolerant if I’m honest . Well done Bob for standing up for Scotland and a historic victory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Its a stupid game for fat blokes, stattos and people who like silly made up words. Test cricket is a bore and making it shorter and adding wacky shirts for OD cricket doesn’t make it anymore interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
