Yea, that's what I'm thinking now. Variable bounce, no real pace in the wicket and taking turn. So, really, around 220 might be a good score. Said that Sean Williams, Cremer and Taylor got out to very good deliveries.

been a long time coming but timely 50 from Ervine. He is such an asset when he is in form.

He is indeed.

7 overs to go, what do you reckon we could try and push for now?

230 aim from here will be good but our ten and 11 are genuine number 12s

:roll: I spoke far too soon.

Lets try and scrape our way to 230 and take it from there.

:lol:

Well, Chisoro can hold a bat which is useful in this situation.
Momentum very much with the Scottish right now though.

I'm not panicking too much, but the Scotts are a far better batting side than Afghanistan, and if we have any chance of winning this we need to take wickets early

Sounds like the pitches are getting harder to bat on. With Chisoro in the pitch is definitely playing games. Only problem is that low scoring games usually favour the chasing team. If they bat the whole 50 they win

Well Chisoro has been sent packing now, too.
Not a great showing from the lads here at all.
Time for our bowlers to once again dig us out of a hole.

I’m telling you there’s been a lot of cracks in our batting but Taylor raza and to an extent ervine and cephas and our weak opposition have papered over the cracks till now
