Malinga the Swinga Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 If they beat Afghanistan, will have been a fantastic run chase. To beat Namibia, they need to get Wiese out cheaply. Do that and they have good chance. Don't know how we beat Pakistan or India. Hope they are overconfident and make mistakes I guess. Mark Watt bowling really well. Nearly all going at 10's apart from him. 4 overs, 1 for 23 great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scheduled meeting to consider the issue is after the World Cup. But Afghanistan have come to the tournament with no women fans so the Taliban will be happy for now. The contrast when they play India and Pakistan who have loads of women fans will be notable. Edited October 25, 2021 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Scotland captain spoke well. That is the standard to aim for and it's back to looking to play well.

It isn't unfair as Taliban have already stated no women will play sport while they are in charge. The players are either on hiding for lives or else have fled Afghanistan. Rules are rules and to play in ICC tournament, you must have equal opportunity for women. The Afghan cricketing body no longer do that, therefore they should not be there. We will hear the sob stories from there male players, but tough luck guys, rules are rules and they should be banned immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But test status which requires a women's team is different to T20. Afghanistan aren't going to be stopped playing. Same as other countries with human rights abuses. Their team looks like it's going to add a lot to this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 South Africa comfortable in beating West Indies without their best player Quinton de Kock, dropped for refusing to take the knee.

Think you were a tad optimistic, but we have a chance, especially tomorrow. Bat first and score 160+. Then bowl tidily and get Wiese as soon as possible. Only him and captain have shown anything. If we bat second, then hope to chase no more than 140. Can we beat India, New Zealand or Pakistan. Well, Pakistan may have already qualified when we play them, so they may rest players. Being honest, if we get over 120 against their bowling attacks, we will have done okay. Over 140 will be great and anything more than 160 will be out of this world. We could restrict New Zealand to under 140 but India and Pakistan batting is formidable. That's too level cricket though and the experience we gain here will be useful in next year's event in Australia. Pitches there will suit us better as UAE is suited to spin which Afghanistan, India and Pakistan are well served in. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Mikey1874 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Although it is disappointing, especially the start to this game, this is the level Scotland are at. Beating Bangladesh was unusual though also eminently possible if it all goes well. In qualifying for this tournament Scotland lost to Singapore, Namibia and Netherlands and got through a 5th/6th place play off. As above they don't need to qualify next time. But just not quite being good enough consistently is where they are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Scoreboard makes it look close(ish) but Namibia were cruising. Utter pish.

But just not quite being good enough consistently is where they are at. Think you are being a little kind to Scotland. The batting of the experienced guys was pathetic. No excuses about the level they are at is acceptable. The first three wickets were out to shots a club cricketer in local league would be ashamed of, never mind guys with the experience they have. No movement of feet, no attempt to get forward, just rabbits in headlights. Captain dropped himself for this game but that was big mistake +unless he was injured or I'll). CM has been major disappointment and Berrington had no need to play shot he did. I reckon they beat Namibia 9 times out of 10 but the top guys shit themselves and left it up to middle order guys, who to be fair, did a decent job to get score up to over 100. Scotland's bowlers must look at batsmen and wonder wtf they are doing. They didn't learn one thing from Afghan game and by looks of it, they didn't watch Namibian games earlier on as this was carbon copy of what they did in group games. Lastly, hope Namibia get destroyed on their remaining games. Just something about them that exudes arrogance and smugness, particularly Wiese and Erasmus.
