topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Scotland only conceded 3 wickets in setting Hong Kong a target of 190 in their T20 match in Abu Dhabi. They may conceivably regret not taking a few more risks but they should be alright Hong Kong require another 142 with 7 wickets left and 73 balls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looking safe now HK need 48 of the last 2 oversNetherlands will be more of a challenge on Saturday Ireland are set to face Afghanistan later today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hong Kong finished on 165/6 Scotland win by 24One moe win against either Oman or the Netherlands should put us into the Semifinals Our Celtic cousins will do well to beat Afghanistan in the desert in the second half of this double header. They also have the hosts in their group and Namibia (who technically don't have T20 international status yet) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ireland's task looks tougher still after being restricted to only 125/6 from their 20 overs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A narrow win for Ireland over Oman means they're still in the competition. Scotland conceded early wickets and only managed 148/7 The Netherlands replied strongly and only needed 8 from the final over to win with two wickets left Two consecutive run outs on balls one & two of the final over and Scotland emerged victorious The Netherlands will need to beat Hong Kong and hope for the best 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Netherlands beat Oman but with only 4 balls to spare Ireland set the UAE a target of 161 and then proceeded to demolsh their hosts top order. It only took 22 balls to reduce them to 21/5. UAE rallied a bit with and managed to see out their 20 overs but fell far short. So that means Ireland finish 2nd In the Group and join Afghanistan in the semifinals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hong Kong beat the Netherlands meaning that neither can catch Scotland Scotland are about to play Oman. Oman won the toss and elected to bat A win would mean we play Ireland in the semi A defeat means we face Afghanistan as we'd finish 2nd on net run rate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Oman finish on 135 after 20 overs If it takes Scotland more than 12 overs to win this then Oman go through to the playoffs ahead of Hong Kong on Net Run Rate. A win for Oman would see them top the group unless scotland's innings is high scoring and quick Scotland 115 All out from 15 overs would be enough to see Scotland top 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 We're into the 16th Over so Oman can be sure of finishing above Hong Kong With Scotland 97/2 they should be able to accelerate from here and Whoosh! 11 balls off the 16th over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ireland won the toss and set a massive target of 211/6 Scotland started not too badly but suddenly went from 74/2 in the 9th over to 88/4 in the 11th Ireland didn't let them away with that and bowled Scotland out for 113 in 15.1 overs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was only half listening but I thought I heard on the radio that Ireland "collapsed". What match would that have been? (I suppose I could google it myself, but don't want to steal tc's thunder - he's been very good at updating this thread - on cricket matters, anyway.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Aberdonian resident of Ireland you were going to have a team in the final either way. The tournament ended up as it began with Ireland facing Afghanistan But while Ireland ran Afghanistan close first time out Ireland did collapse in the final. Bowled out for 71 Afghanistan had that chased down inside 8 overs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Bump. Season starts again. Too fucking cold. And wet. My team yesterday contained 2 former Scotland internationals and we were up against 8 men. Needless to say Lanarkshire's finest 2nd XI won comfortably. Scottish Cricket is dying on its arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
