Title: ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers 2013
Post by: bowriver on November 28, 2013, 04:23:01 PM
Can't believe that Scotland didn't get through the qualifiers for next year's ICC T20 World Cup.And to get knocked out by a bunch of South Africa/Australia/New Zealand/Pakistan rejects just makes it worse :( (No offence to any Dutchmen reading this - just REALLY disappointed!!!) I think I'll go off now and support Nepal  :D

It was a great game of T20 earlier, Scotland thought they had done enough to win it half way through - however the Dutch batted superbly and got over the line with plenty of time to spare, a completely different team that lost to UAE yesterday.

IMO both teams should be in the World Cup, as they probably are up there with the strongest qualifying teams.

Machan looks like a good player for the Scots and it was good to see some different brands being used.

Yeah,thought that 147 wasn't a bad total for Scotland to defend,especially after the dutch performance against the UAE.Just our luck that they upped their game dramatically today! Oh well,s**t happens :)

Wasn't today that knocked us out, it was the first round loss to Bermuda.

And that Scotland didn't kept Denmarks score below 122. That would have let them trough as number 3. Instead they ended as number 5 and made it much more difficult..
