Game 2
Scots (mostly Saffas) set Bangers 141 FTW after being deep in the shit early on.

[OomStruisbaai]

[Insane_Homer]

Scoteas on course for a win here. Bangers struggling with the rrr.

Heat should have massively favoured the Deshis.

[Torquemada 1420]

Deshis are going to go down here.

Brilliant catch by Scotland!!

Having watched them a few times that didn’t seem right but wasn’t sure, thanks

Pleased for Scotland - they’ve put a lot of effort into reorganising their national team and glad to see it pay off. Not a million miles off Ireland IMHO and hopefully some sustained progress will see the sport taken a bit more seriously up there.

As mentioned above, characterisation as a team of expats is not fair.

Christopher Greaves - Saffa born, if you have a doubt listen to his post batting interview...Man of the match.
Richard Berrington - Saffa Born
Bradley Wheal - Saffa Born
Kyle Coetzer (Captain) - Scottish name? Saffa chicken runner heritage

3.5 /11

Coetzer and Berrington both moved to Scotland as kids and came through the Scottish age groups, played u15s etc for Scotland so are legit ours. Wheals mum is Scottish so not really a steal either. Don’t know about Greaves.

Oh, and Fùcking yaaaaaaaaassss!

Great win, hope we can get to the next stage.

[Slick]

Yes, it’s a terrific result!

[Sandstorm]

Congrats Scots, great result.

So can we now say that it is officially the worst OP in NPR history?

[OomStruisbaai]

No big deal Saffers in your team Boet, they play everywhere, Black Caps, Australia, England.

Coetzer is Afrikaans like Labuschagne.

How does the format for this comp work?

Is it a 2 tier system with the tier 2 nations playing each other first, Or? I can’t figure out the fixtures.

Two groups in first stage - Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea, Oman, Netherlands, Namibia. Four teams in each group,play each other once.

Top two in each group go through to second stage. 12 teams, the four from the first stage plus the eight full member teams. Two groups, Play each other once, top two in each group to semifinals.

Much appreciated, thanks

I don't think anyone was trying to suggest the Coetzers marched south with Prince Charlie tbf

[Torquemada 1420]

Much appreciated, thanks

The Pool 1 groups are
- SL, Ireland, Namibia and Holland
- Deshis, Scotland, Oman and PNG

Deshis lucky they are in the easier group and should still make it through.

Is there a player with the surname Scotland playing for Scotland? Remarkable.

Don't pay any attention to Handyman, the poor lad tries so hard to be relevant on matters pertaining to cricket that he even dips his toes into the realm of comedy, albeit with as much success as Mustafizur's attempted scoop shot last night

I hope Scotland make it through. I was at school with one of your previous players, Con de Lange.

I have a feeling these games will all go to the team that bats second if it's an early start and the team that bats first if it's a late start. looks to get a bit damp at the start and end of the days.

Yeah. Saw that in the Deshi game. When they batted, the humidity on the outfield made the ball look like it was aquaplaning!

Pffft! Proteas can lose these World Cup games regardless of when they bat or how dewy it is.

We are struggling vs Afghanistan in a warm up game at the moment.
