Scotland v Afghanistan

If the enthususiasm for test cricket to be organised in an elite league of 5 (England, Aussies, SL, Indian and SA) and then have promotion and relegation from a second test league of 5 (WI, Pakistan, NZ, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe) this could in the future be a divsion three match up !

The thing is it's already happening - last week Scotland lost a four day match against Afghanistan and earlier this week the teams shared a ODI series of two games 1-1.

Just imagine in four years time - the Scots get promoted from Div 3 and England get relegated from the Elite League and we have a Scotland v England test match series !!

That would get the kilts swirling and the sporrans swishing ! .... SJ

Scotland comes to Notts

Les Bleus were on good form (according to Chris the Scottish Analyst) in not being routed by Notts but holding their own .... to some extent. A lovely day out for this amateur and fair weather cricket fan - thank you gentlemen!

Super roast lunch and chocolate gateau. Rob once again opting for the hot pudding version.

Dissappointed once again not to get a piece of victoria sponge at tea time - hawked all the way over to the Members' Pavilion only to see the final two pieces disappear before Rob and I made the front of the queue. Dirty tactics may have to be used next time to make sure I get a piece of the action.

Now have the listings so will be planning the next raid.

Howzatt?! x
