It is understood that the material which caught fire consisted mainly of the thatched roofing at Castle Corner

[NYRB]

wow Scotland beat Ireland!

 

[Plugger35]

A great win for Scotland getting up in the last over, they looked to be gone when they were 7 wickets down for 150, Leask the matchwinner with 91.

 

[corbies]

Curtis Campher is an underrated cricketer

Not least by the Ireland selectors who didn't pick him for the opening match.

 

[NYRB]

Not least by the Ireland selectors who didn't pick him for the opening match.

I guess he had a point to prove.

And Michael Leask looks like a pretty decent cricketer. Fair play to Mark Watt for also hanging around with him last night as well.

Don't underestimate the innings Sharif played to support Michael Leask. Scotland from what Ive seen in the T20 World Cup last year and the 50 over format look like a pretty solid batting unit and can bat deep against teams around their level.

 

[NYRB]

With that loss for Ireland last night, it puts them in a precarious situation to make it to the 2023 World Cup. They will have to win their last 2 games, of which a game includes a match against Sri Lanka and at the same time hope that other results go their way to make it through.

Oman, is looking like the dark horse to make it through the group at the expense of Ireland in Group B.

 

[Some Idiot]

Not least by the Ireland selectors who didn't pick him for the opening match.

Bizarre given his talents. The guy has a test 100 vs Sri Lanka and has shown promise with bat and ball in white ball cricket.

As with a lot of these teams, if they could actually get their first XI on the park they'd be really competitive. Unfortunately they get done by retirements to explore other opportunities (Coetzer, MacLeod) or to play for their counties (Davey, Wheal, Jones, Currie).

 

[NYRB]

The question today is, are the Yanks any chance of upsetting the Dutch?

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Ireland are in strife, thought at 6/120 Scotland had no chance
Think it narrows the teams likely to make it down to 3, Windies, SL & Zimbabwe although the Windies didn't look promising in their first game

Bizarre given his talents. The guy has a test 100 vs Sri Lanka and has shown promise with bat and ball in white ball cricket.

From what I've seen looks like a good player, also has a World Cup double hat trick

This is the first ever ODI match between the two sides.

Netherlands have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Mayers has to depart early against Nepal. Could we have another upset on the cards in Zimbabwe today?

 

[NYRB]

The question will be today, what can Nepal realistically chase down against this West Indies attack?

 

[Some Idiot]

Two early wickets for Nepal. Exciting team, young and plenty of home grown talent. Could be a full ICC member one day.

 

[NYRB]

West Indies in dire straits at 9/2 off 4.1 overs against mighty Nepal

 

[NYRB]

Sandeep gets his 1st wicket of the game and the Windies are stumbling at 55/3. You can the roar in Kathamandu with that one.

 

[NYRB]

Jeez if West Indies fail to qualify here for the World Cup it would send shockwaves around the world just like their failure to get out the qualifying groups at last years 2022 T20 World Cup.

 

[NYRB]

And Nicholas Pooran gets a life, could have easily bee 60/4 .

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Jeez if West Indies fail to qualify here for the World Cup it would send shockwaves around the world just like their failure to get out the qualifying groups at last years 2022 T20 World Cup.

Not qualifying in this tournament would be worse IMO. They aren't playing well at the moment though

 

[ioppolo]

The question today is, are the Yanks any chance of upsetting the Dutch?

Doesn't look like it so far.

 

[Some Idiot]

Pooran and Hope starting to take the Nepal bowlers to the cleaners

 

[NYRB]

Jeez I reckon squeezing 2 teams out of these 10 teams is asking a bit.

Think for the good of the game, 14 teams an ideal number.

Im happy to see at least 4 teams qualify.

 

[Some Idiot]

West Indies finish on 339.

340 probably a bridge too far for Nepal, but hopefully they can put on an entertaining show at least.
