And at the halfway point it looks like I might have been wrong on both counts. I was right (at the second time of trying), but they took the long way around!

Unbelievable knock from Karan KC to get Nepal to the qualifiers, extremely cruel for Canada to miss out by such a small margin.

What an extraordinary finale that was. A fairytale for Nepal really. Why these matches aren't live streamed I don't know, an incredible match and not seen by a soul outside of the ground. Such a missed opportunity.

Although the World Cup is still a year away, the first of the WCL tournaments on the road to the 2023 edition start in KL in a couple of hours. Going for Jersey and Uganda to win promotion to WCL3. With my current prediction record expect this not to happen.

Some absolute thrillers today. Vanuatu win their first game, Denmark need 3 off the final ball, Malaysia 15 off the last over... It’s all good stuff!

Scotland making a good start. Hope they win. The England ODI focus irritates me these days.

Good thing Scotland didn’t qualify for the World Cup, no way they could’ve competed with the big boys.

372 is looking about 200 below par to be fair

Blah blah white ball focus, blah blah limited overs, blah blah single-game series... shove off England, and take your over-inflated egos with you. Scotland the Brave!

Will repeat what I've said a few times in this subject, getting teams like Scotland into the wc once every 4 years won't make a difference, they need to be playing test teams more often over the other 3 years 11 months of the 4 year cycle.

Following on from the above.... Maybe, just maybe, it is time to consider 4 day test matches as long as extra overs are bowled and poor over rates suitably punished, take England's summer, already bloated with cricket, the above change would mea. 7 whole fewer days scheduled, even if only 2 of those were out aside to play Scotland and Ireland, with India and Pakistan playing one of them too there'd still be fewer days played but a wider variety.

I agree, Pierre - I’d say that regular world cups is the absolute least that Scotland deserve.

A European Championship would be good, bi-annually maybe. England, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, perhaps a qualifier as well.
