Never, ever thought I'd say this but I am kinda hoping Scotland win...if only to kick out those stuffy suits at the top of the game.

"A huge game at Christchurch today. A side comprising a bunch of hapless, unfancied, rank amateurs, plays Scotland,"

So the "Powerplay" against an associate team produces 58 runs for England.
Talk about confidence building!

Well theyll never get a better chance, very flat pitch against a very ordinary bowling attack. 300 is the very bare minimum and should really be targetting 350+ here

I have been a big fan of Ian Bell since he was a youngster but I'm sorry that was a wasted opportunity and perhaps now is the time to say good-bye, at least for the one-dayers.

They are scrapping something together... will get to 315 (fingers crossed)...
... will be Scotland's biggest chase (i think).
When they play cricket up in the Highlands, do they were pads + Kilts?

172 for 0 after 30 becomes just 302, almost impossible considering the conditions. Moeen Ali may have saved them from further embarrassment tonight but its not gonna be too long coming thats for sure

Difficult to know how much to gauge from this match. I listened to TMS from when England were 120 odd without loss to about 250-4 and it was pretty mediocre stuff really against some very average bowling. Well done Moeen Ali for his century but England should have passed 350 against what is clearly the weakest attack, by some distance, in the comp.
I would say confidence boosting but England's players will know that this result hasnt proved much in reality.

Yes apart from Ali, it was pretty turgid stuff. Most of the England batsmen must be so out of form, the way Bell blocked the crap out of it to someone bowling donkey drops...

In ODI's the norm is to get double in 50 overs the score after 30 and probably much more with ten wickets in hand. Second Powerplay was even more embarrassing than the first.
As for the bowling, well Thank God it was Scotland we were playing.
All this result does is paper over the cracks.

I had a Glaswegian friend who hated cricket... his view was that if you see a Glaswegian run towards you with a blunt instrument, you should scoot to safety.. #Stereotype..
