27th Match - Bangladesh v Scotland

[Burgey]

Jeez that's gotta hurt

 

[Furball]

It's much more popular than people realise. 2nd most popular sport by participation.

Really? Bigger than golf? Lawn bowls? Rugby? (I get nostalgic when I think about David Sole, Gavin Hastings and John Jeffrey)

Rugby's much more popular as a spectator sport but more people actually play cricket.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bangladesh have never scored 300 in a world cup.

 

[Furball]

Why has Scotland not done better given the history and decent following? Given the things you and a couple of other people have said, which are true I am sure, Scottish cricket probably should have been at a far better level by now? What's been the roadblocks?

Lack of professionalism.

 

[Spikey]

Well that's my mind made up, the 2019 world cup should now be hosted by Ireland, Scotland and Yorkshire

 

[Furball]

One last over of carnage please.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hope the commentators are deeply apologetic for the crap they were coming out with after 34 overs about them "having to go hard now". Wickets happen.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bangladesh have never scored 300 in a world cup.

Additional: Bangladesh's highest ever run chase is 313.

Would be awesome to play in Afghanistan one day.

 

[_Ed_]

Disappointing last couple of overs, but no doubt Scotland would have gladly taken 318-8 at the toss.

I reckon the Welsh should break away too. They've got Glamorgan.

I am amazed that cricket is 2nd for participants.

Shakib's figures standing out again - nice to see spin at the death.

 

[viriya]

Shakib/Mushfiqur would have to do something special for Bangladesh not to lose this one.

 

[Furball]

Great stuff.

I'm hoping that's well above par because Bangladesh's bowling was ****ing garbage.

Bed time with the Sky+, will try to do a Heef and catch the 2nd innings without finding out the result.

 

[Jono]

Get up and about Furball. Get excited ffs

 

[Furball]

Mate it's 2 in the morning and I need to be up in 5 hours to take my daughter to nursery. I'm not lasting the lunch break sadly.

 

[Furball]

But yeah, up until now this is one of the best cricketing experiences of my life. ****ing immense.

 

[cnerd123]

BD are so ****ed.

You're not a true cricket fan until you stay up till 6am watching a Zim vs Pak clash hoping for an upset.

 

[Furball]

Additional: Bangladesh's highest ever run chase is 313.

Don't do this to me.

 

[Furball]

Right, sleepy time. Come on the bowlers!
