27th Match - Bangladesh v Scotland

[Chewie]

Anamul Haque not going to bat apparently - pushes things in Scotland's favour

 

[Pratters]

Struggling to understand why we don't do our own version of the Ashes with Ireland every summer. Suppose actually getting our playere released from county duty could be problematic but it would be a start.

edit: talking an annual 3 game ODI series, could throw in some T20s.

Bangladesh and Afghanistan should play for the Tiger Cup and rope in UAE and Nepal for ODI s when they can.

 

[Pratters]

What are these orange shirts with the white circles? Seen a lot of them.

 

[_Ed_]

What's the weather forecast like?

It says cloudy periods with the small chance of an afternoon shower. Hope that stays away.

 

[_Ed_]

Coetzer's going bonkers.

 

[Bahnz]

50/0 - brilliant power-play batting by Scotland.

 

[Pratters]

300 easy picking now.

 

[Furball]

Different scenario as NZ were pushing for a high net run rate, and the pitch that was played on at Dunedin was a lot more spritely than this one.

Sky had a graphic up when they were doing the Verdict and Bob Willis was lamenting how pish England's seamerd have been - apparently Scotland's seam attack statistically has been the 4th or 5th best seam attack so far.

We're rapidly moving into 'this is winnable' territory.

 

[_Ed_]

We're rapidly moving into 'this is winnable' territory.

Absolutely.

 

[_Ed_]

With Scotland's previous record World Cup individual score being 76, Coetzer has now beaten it by 50.

 

[Pratters]

Mortaza is so pedestrian.

 

[_Ed_]

Mortaza is so pedestrian.

Perhaps, but outstanding batting nevertheless.

 

[Furball]

Absolutely.

I'm moving into 'why did I only bet £10' territory.

Got on us at 4.33 pre match.

 

[viriya]

Mortaza has been disappointing this game must be said. Expect him to do well while other around him mess up.

 

[_Ed_]

Another six! Up to 140*. Phenomenal.

 

[Howe_zat]

Highest score by an Associate player in a world cup is Houghton's 142 in 1987.

 

[Stace]

When Coetzer reached 100 I was going to write great now double it, obviously joking, he read my mind and is up for the challenge.

 

[Howe_zat]

Running's been much better since I had a moan about it

 

[_Ed_]

Highest score by an Associate player in a world cup is Houghton's 142 in 1987.

Duly equalled.

EDIT: And surpassed.

 

[Furball]

How did Afghanistan lose to this mob ffs?
