ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[virasog]

The Scotland team won the match against Namibia. The Namibia team won the toss and they decided to bowl first which was I don’t know what type of decision it is because according to the pitch, they did good but according to the game, it was not good.

I can say nothing about this decision whether it is good or bad because if we look at the pitch condition then it is good for bowling but not for Namibia team as they do not have quality bowlers. I think in this loss, we can clearly blame some batsmen of the Namibian team because if we see their bowling then it is average and I don't expect much from them even on good batting wickets.

Wow, Michael English made a century against the Namibia team. By the way, at the time when Michael English hit the century then at that time Scotland needed him to continue or a similar innings by another Scotland player the Scotland team could lose this match. Also in the beginning when Charlie Tear and Brandon McMullen failed to make a partnership then Micheal English helped the Scotland team to make a decent total and with him the team captain also made the good score more than 80 which is too good as well. But the man of the match is deserving person, that is Michael and he got the award for his hard work.

I bet on Namibia because i got better odds, 2.65 but better luck next time to me.

Anyhow, I lost my Bet as i thought Namibia can do an upset but not to be.

Scotland won by 138 runs Against Namibia. Actually Scotland develop themselves a lot and they become one of the stronger team. this is not the first time Scotland defeated Namibia, as well as oman too. In the yesterday match between Scotland vs Namibia, team Namibia won the toss and opted to Bowl. Scotland started batting first and their top ordered players showed legendary performance. Captain Richie Berrington (89) failed to make his century for few runs but Michael English (107) able to done his century and their team scored 301-6 runs in 50 Overs as a target for Namibia. Afterwards Namibia started batting and they lost 1st wicket at 1-1 runs and they Scored 9 runs along with losing 3rd wickets. Captain Gerhard Erasmus(53) tried to hold their team tightly and make some runs. He did half century but rest of players all out with lower runs within 40 overs and total collected score was 163-10 runs, kind of half of Targeted runs set by Scotland team. Congrats Scotland for keep doing well and keep winning Matches continuously.

[Rustam Meraj]

Yeah, In the 18th ODi game Scotland played first and made 301/6 runs in 50 overs. Scotland's team's excellent batting batsman Michael English he scored a century with nine fours and two 6s while Richie Berrington made 89 runs unlucky to miss his century but help their team to posted a good target of 300 +. Shaun Fouche bowled an excellent took three wickets with economy rate of 6. Namibia team batting nicely scored 53 runs in first 16th over of the game. The Namibia team chasing the target lost three early wickets. Namibia needed 249 runs from the remaining 34 overs but I think it's very difficult for Namibia to win this game.

Scotland proved their self in back few months. They are playing well and doing great. Like we saw in the match of Scotland Vs Oman. Scotland performance was excellent in that match and Charlie Cassell bowling was excellent with collection of 7 wickets.
And one more thing is important that Scotland played a match with Namibia on 20th July. Scotland won with DLS method but in that match Namibia gave a tough time to Scotland.
But in yesterday match Scotland played very well. They made 301 runs in 50 overs and Micheal English was on top with most scorer of this match. Excellent played Scotland. Congratulations on you win.

In the 18th match of Scotland vs Namibia team, Scotland team won the match by 138 runs. In this match, the players of Scotland team really performed very well for which Scotland team won the match by 138 runs. Scotland team gave a target of 301 runs after losing 6 wickets in 50 overs. Namibia team to bat.  He took the field and scored 163 runs in 40.1 overs with the loss of 10 wickets.

[Cheema02]

I bet on Namibia because i got better odds, 2.65 but better luck next time to me.

Anyhow, I lost my Bet as i thought Namibia can do an upset but not to be.

Bad luck, buddy You last bet but I don't think it's the correct decision because Namibia is a weak team, and Scotland is a strong and well-disciplined team compared to Namibia. In this match, Scotland had outstanding batting and bowling performance. first, they set a huge target of 300 plus runs, and in bowling, their bowlers picked early wickets All out Namibia in 163 runs. Michael English played an impressive inning of 107 runs from 122 balls and also earned the player of match award for his blasting batting performance. Namibia needs to make a lot of improvement in its batting and Bowling unit if they win the next matches in the Future.

Yes in this match we saw outstanding batting performance from Scotland batsmen. Scotland and Namibia took the field to face each other in the 18th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2. This tournament has been Scotland's most successful team so far, with them winning the most matches, leading them to the top of the points table. Maybe the way they played against Namibia proves that they deserve to be number one.

Namibia and Scotland have faced each other twice in this league with Scotland winning both times. Their last match performance was worth watching as they scored more than 301 runs in 50 overs which was difficult for Namibia to overcome. Batting against a target of 302 runs, the Namibian team managed to score only 163 runs for 10 wickets as a result of which they lost the match by 138 runs.

I am very impress with the Scotland team.  And I feel happy to see his victory in every match.  And in this match too their success has been huge.  And if you look at it his perform seems to be better in every match.  Oman loses the match against Scotland due to their poor perform.  If they worked hard and struggle they could have won the match against Scotland.  But the perform of Scotland at the moment is seen at the top.  And I also hope to win the final match as well.  In this match, the batsmen of Scotland set a big target of 301, but the bowling has been done by their bowler.  Their bowler dismissed the entire team in 40 overs and won the match.  The Namibian team is also a good team.  But could not complete the match against Scotland and will lose the match.  The pressure on the Namibia batsmen was too much and their pace was too slow, which made it look like they could not win the match.  Huge congratulations to Scotland on this win.

[dezoel]

Excellent performance by Scotland. Especially Michael English and Richie Berrington. Their partnership was excellent. Michael English made 107 runs. And Richie Berrington made 89 runs. And both helped the team to win. And in total Scotland made 301 runs which was a good target and tough target for Namibia team.
Namibia was trying well to chase that target but they didn't. Because they lost their all wickets at 163 runs. And one more time Scotland show that they are good in bowling too. Gavin Main and Brad Currie both collected 3,3 wickets and Michael Leask and Brandon McMullen both collected 2,2 wickets.
So overall Scotland performance was excellent and I really appreciate them. Congratulations to Scotland.

Scotland is the strongest associate nation and ahead of other participants in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. The huge margin in yesterday's match is yet another testament to this. And you need to acknowledge the depth in their talent pool. Michael English made his debut yesterday and he started off with a century. He is originally from Paisley in Renfrewshire. And a few days back, Charlie Cassell made his debut for Scotland and returned record figures of 5.4-1-21-7.

Namibia was doing good job in early games having three consecutive defeats into their last three games one against Oman and two against Scotland results like these give them big setback due to this win now Scotland is having 9 points from the 7 games and leading the league table as well Canada is still having chance of overtaking Scotland because they are undefeated into their last four games.

Scotland is having good improvement into their quality and consistency performance like this giving them good chance of staying at the top in last few games we are having many records broken by Sottish players they are tried to give their best and having their team back into competition for the League 1 their batsmen and bowler are surely at the top of the game.

Next games of this same series will be start next month and 19th game will play between Netherlands team and Canada team.

In 18 th game Namibia bs Scotland team, Scotland team won this game by big lead of runs and their effort was brilliant in all games they played and in this game, Scotland set 301 runs and Namibia team only chased down 163 runs and lost this game by 138 runs and this was 2 nd time Namibia lost game to Scotland team.

If the next games are starting next month and Canada will play with Netherlands. So I think Canada will try to their best to get back their position which snatched by Scotland at this time. Because Canada was leading with 8 points but now the Scotland one up. So they are on top at this time.

Abd regarding the Namibia vs Scotland match. So I appreciate the performance of Scotland because first they made an excellent target with 301 runs. And after that they restricted the Namibia team at 163 runs means a little up from half target.

I don't think Canada will have much difficulty in taking the top spot in the table. Because Canada is the only team that is still undefeated. Canada won all four matches. Team Canada won two matches each against both Scotland and UAE. And in every match Canadian players managed to perform very well.

I think Canada's team is stronger than Netherlands. The Netherlands team has lost two of their four matches. The Netherlands team lost against Nepal and Namibia. So I think we will see a Canada win against the Netherlands. I think Team Canada will regain the top spot in the table very soon.

LOL.. Canada is far below Netherlands in terms of strength. And this was very evident during the T20I World Cup, that was conducted a few months back. That said, Canada has performed well so far. They have played 4 matches, and won all of them (2 against Scotland, and 2 against the United Arab Emirates). I am not sure whether Canada can sustain the momentum in the long term. Next, they have a series against the Netherlands and the United States, two of the strongest sides in this tournament.

Scotland team played with responsibility and gave handsome target. The match of Scotland and Namibia was a good match and both teams are low ranking teams but we saw Scotland team in the last World in which they played well and showed good confidence level and I think in future,that team will struggle a lot and will get high position in ranking because the performance of Bangladesh, Pakistan and  west Indies is very poor and Scotland cricket team can get benefit from that and I am impressed by players because they are looking in good form and they will work for the development of cricket in the country.I think that is positive sign from Scotland cricket team because before 2 to 3 years ,we didn't see that kind of performance.

[Lidger]

Right buddy, batting partnership of these batters of Scotland sqaud made a big lead after failure of two earlier batters Brandon McMullen and Charlie Tear, these two batters were wiped out from crease and managed 15 and 16 scores respectively. But these two batters was hero in today match and their batting partnership was truly admirable and also a bit reason to emerge victory. Michael English his century was out Namibia bowlers in trouble. Other Richie Berrington better also batted very amazingly and his performance was significant role to secure victory. 301 score as a Defeating target was not easy job to complete and secure victory for such a weak sqaud like Namibia sqaud. Namibia squad just managed 163 scores and after this score, whole members of their sqaud was wiped out and lost match with massive scores of total 138 scores. In bowlers side, both these Gavin Main and Brad Currie also do amazing job with picking total 6 wickets with 3 and 3 respectively.

Excellent performance by Scotland. Especially Michael English and Richie Berrington. Their partnership was excellent. Michael English made 107 runs. And Richie Berrington made 89 runs. And both helped the team to win. And in total Scotland made 301 runs which was a good target and tough target for Namibia team.
Namibia was trying well to chase that target but they didn't. Because they lost their all wickets at 163 runs. And one more time Scotland show that they are good in bowling too. Gavin Main and Brad Currie both collected 3,3 wickets and Michael Leask and Brandon McMullen both collected 2,2 wickets.
So overall Scotland performance was excellent and I really appreciate them. Congratulations to Scotland.

Scotland had a great win against Namibia. Scotland batted first against Namibia and managed to score 301 runs for 6 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs, on the contrary, Namibia scored 163 runs all out.
Congratulations to Scotland for their win but what I admire the most is Scotland batting till 50 overs. Where the big teams now cannot survive on 50-over wickets, Scotland piled up 301 runs on the scoreboard for the loss of just six wickets while they remained on 50-over wickets.  

Rushing the game of ODI cricket strategy here will do neither yourself nor the team any good.
I assume a batsman bats at a very low strike rate. But if he is on the 50 over wicket then some runs will accumulate on the scoreboard but whenever he bats with good strikes but all the team players are out in 40 over then the team score will not be in a healthy position at all. So it is more important for each team to keep their wickets up to 50 overs.

We observe England middle order that is Osum and we also observe the middle order of India and Australia. They are winners due to great plans and Indian team is progressing in all formats and especially in ODI cricket because BCCI is taking action for the quality of cricket in India. If Indian cricket quality will be best then India country will be at great and we are expecting that India will lift next World cup. We saw a West Indian team as low quality team because they didn't make partnerships and they didn't play full 50 overs. They all team out by making low runs and I didn't like West Indies team because they are not players and real players are from India and England.If team plays good in all powerplays then  team can win the match easily by high margin.

Rhodes's LBW bY Fynn Hudson-Prentice

I thought Warwickshire is going to have a pretty easy game in this one. But somehow that did not happen, they only ended up winning by one wicket! I have to say it was actually very close & nail-biting in the end. Whatever Rhodes's team tried hard but able to keep it three wins out of three in five days.

I can see Rhodes and Smith scored the bulk of the runs in this game. The problem is Warwickshire lost wickets at regular intervals. And that was the biggest problem for them. In the end I would actually say that they were lucky to actually be able to win the match. There was a very good chance that Sussex was actually going to defend the total that they had posted. By the way Carson was actually a little bit expensive. Because when the target is not that big, you cannot give away so many runs so easily.
