Off sick so chance to watch the start of the new SA20 league. Wihan Lubbe pro for Arbroath this summer is sharing a place in the top 6 with Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, David Miller, Eoin Morgan and Dane Vilas 😂 not quite Falkland away playing with boys who've been in Devitos the night before 

I heard he’s likely to appear at Grange this summer.

Yeah I've heard that too. Would be another Arbroath connection through there. He didn't seem to fancy Jofra Archer too much today but who would :lol: Dewald Brevis looks like an absolute superstar in the making

England go 2 down in their ODI series in South Africa.

On Friday they were chasing 299 to win and got off to a great start with Jason Roy leading the way as they reached 146-0 inside 20 overs. They collapsed from there though and were all out for 271.

They batted first today and belted their way to 342-7, aided by a whopping 34 extras including 5 penalty runs. The Saffers chased it down with 5 wickets in hand, David Miller blasting a 6 off the first ball of the last over to win it.

Gary Ballance named in the Zimbabwe squad for their T20 series against Ireland. He signed a two year deal to play for them after leaving Yorkshire.

Now has a test ton for them as well. Chanderpaul Jnr getting a double as well on a bit of a road in Bulawayo.

If anyone up and about/interested the NZ XI v England warm up game in Hamilton is on the NZ Cricket YouTube channel. Just single position camera at each end with no commentary. Likewise for the Australia U19 v England U19 series on the Cricket Australia YouTube channel

Scotland cruising against Namibia in Nepal in the first match of our final CWC2 series. Namibia all out for 153 with 4 wickets for Leask and 3 each for Sharif and Watt. 107/0 after 16 overs in reply, just 47 needed from the remaining 34 overs. Munsey on 64 from 45 balls and Coetzer 41 from 51.

 Namibia also lost to Nepal yesterday.

Does that not confirm top spot in the group with Namibia losing 2 in a row? Or is another win needed?

That’s top spot secure. The gap is 11 points to Namibia, who have 4 left to play (2 points for a win). The only other team that were technically still in it this morning were the UAE, they still have 10 games to play with a 21 point gap.

England on top after day 1 in the Bay of Plenty, NZ 37/3 in reply to England's 325/9 declared after less than 60 overs.

Side note, anyone got a decent cricket scores update page to follow on twitter, I've had to stop following cricinfo as I don't care about the various T20 / T10 league or women's under 19 cricket and they tweet about 300 times a day (also it's basically an India cheerleader account). I follow a few English journos but nobody seems to be updating on this series. Don't really want to follow English national team page either.

Scotland made 274/9 against Nepal after being put in to bat by Nepal. A maiden ODI century for Michael Leask the highlight, he was 107 not out from 85 balls.

Nepal made a fast start in reply, taking an ODI record 23 runs from the first over and were 31-0 after 2. Plenty wickets since though and they’re now 98/5 from 14 overs. 3 wickets for Sole, 2 for Watt.

England seem determined to make sure this game finishes inside four days.  They really have transformed test match cricket.   Remember Chris Silverwood’s desire to return to the days of 2.5 runs per over being a steady run rate?

 

Only two down with a lead of 98 puts England on top.  You wouldn’t want to be chasing much more than 250 on this pitch under the lights.  
 

I do think the day/night pink ball games change too much, in general,  in the evening session though.

Disappointment in the end as Nepal get home with 3 wickets and 3 overs to spare. Impressive chase from the Nepal middle order, but there was some really poor bowling on show from the Scotland boys. Very disappointing.
