    We love a jammy Umpires Call against the Scots.

    Think Scotland need to understand when and how to play the sweep!

    I hope they never learn!

    Lot of respect for this Scotland side. 

    Paying homage to England by suddenly collapsing mid innings is classy.

    Both Matt Cross and Calum MacLeod used to play for Bexley CC when Seb was a colt there and I was their junior secretary and also did their senior league registrations.

    MacLeod, of course, scored that 140* to beat England in an ODI in 2019. Prior to that, though, he faced Rashid Khan  and he scored 157* against Afghanistan. Rashid returned figures of 9-0-68-1, which was a very rare expensive spell for him at that time. I asked MacLeod when he came back from that series how he did that. His reply was "I swept him to death!".

    Chasing 153 and we're already a wicket down 2/1
    Surely we can't fuck this up??!

    Personally looking forward to an electric Harry Brook 21(11)

    To be 2 wickets down, the RR less than 5 whilst chasing 7.5 an over against Scotland is criminal. 

    Once the pace is off the ball we look hopeless.

  • Scotland are putting a huge amount of pressure on but bethell makes a 6 and then a 4 to push back on the aud enemy

    Surely we can't mess this up from here.

    4 overs to go needing a run a ball.....and then Curran slashes one high in the sky & keeper catches it.
  • Scottish skipper must have backed us keeping this spinner on after 0-35 off his first two.

    At least we won.

    Still a long way short of looking threatening. Bowling was improved I guess

    Got there in the end , great knock from Banton but we made hard work of that. Questions about the opening pair.

    Brook is an incredible talent at times. 
    But I'm really not sure I'd want to keep him as captain going forward as he comes across both in his decision making and when talking to the media as being as thick as they come

    Brook increasingly looks to me like a player that believes his own hype.
