John Findlay Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Scotland batted first. Made 318-9 from their 50 overs. Here's hoping the bowlers do the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Oman need 321 to win. Hopefully Scotland get few early wickets to dampen their batsmen. Meanwhile Sri Lanka get 325 against Ireland so not far behind them and appears we have decent target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Scotland win comfortably and go through to super 6. Next up Sri Lanka which will be by far the hardest game so far. A win against them, and it will be difficult, would be important as it carries points forward and would make super 6 much more palatable.

Mikey1874 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Scotland win and qualify for final play off group "Super Sixes". Scotland will play Zimbabwe, West Indies and Netherlands. Oman and Sri Lanka are the other teams. You keep the points and net run rate for games versus other Super Six teams. So currently its at 1. Zimbabwe 2 wins 2. Sri Lanka 1 win 3. Scotland 1 win West Indies v Netherlands tomorrow and Scotland v Sri Lanka Tuesday are effectively Super Six games.

Mikey1874 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Winning the test gives Australia 4 points in the multi format series. Because Australia hold the Ashes they need 8 points to retain them. They now play 3 T20 games then 3 50 over one day games. 2 points per game. England need to win 5 to avoid Australia retaining or winning the Ashes.

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 7 down for just over 200. Their bowling attack worries me though. It's strongest in competition, imo, and we can't be chasing more than 250. Will be best ever win if we pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_razors_edge Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Really decent performance from Scotland in the field. 246 is definitely achievable and we’ve got a cracking record batting 2nd in ODI’s over the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As I feared, Sri Lanka's bowlers are top class. Nothing to fear from Windies bowlers though as they aren't in same class.

JWL Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Starc in for Boland, no surprise there. Big toss to win for England and they'll fancy their 4 quicks getting early wickets on a pitch that looks extremely difficult to bat on. Only thing is it looks like being overcast for the whole 5 days which could make any run chase for England a real challenge. That's my somewhat less than expert analysis out the way so bring on the test match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Decent start for Australia before first rain break. Pitch not so helpful to bowlers perhaps. Meanwhile less people saying Foakes should play instead of Bairstow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Curious day. Head and Smith partnership at 6 an over. At times England bowled well. Pitch is tricky and looks to be batter friendly though extra pace of Australia could change that. I do find it curious the amount of criticism of England are getting. Pundits, fans, commentators. They don't really get what Stokes and McCullum are doing. They are just starting. They beat Pakistan 3-0 away which no one has ever done. Just for one thing. And Australia are best in world.

Yeah, agreed. If you’re going to formulate a plan then you have to stick to it, otherwise what’s the point. It just needs tweaked a little. The declaration in the first test was a touch too early and there’s no point denying that. It was an error. I suspect the bigger problem for England is that so many of their big names are getting on now. Think the Aussies will be happy with anything over 400.
