Thanks for Nothing would be most people's reply (ICC.tv)
So after SEVEN inspections this farce has come to an end with no play seemingly possible. Of course the outfield is dry enough for the players to be kicking a ball around for the last couple of hours - I always wonder how football and Rugby manage to get played when wet grass is seemingly too dangerous for cricket?
World Cup League 2, Scotland beat Namibia by 55 runs.
King City, Toronto, 4 September.
Scotland 164 (24 overs; G Munsey 59, B McMullan 27, T Bruce 22; R Trumpleman 3-24, B Scholtz 3-25, JJ Smit 2-25)
Namibia 109 (21.2 overs; Z Green 27, JJ Smit 26; C Greaves 3-24, B Currie 2-7, S Sharif 2-12) (Rain delayed - match reduced to 24 overs.)
George Munsey got Scotland off to a flying start (Cricket Scotland)
George Munsey in T20 mode, his 59 coming off just 31 balls (3x4, 6x6), but after he departed with the score at 88 in the tenth over, no one was able to keep that pace up, and Namibia would no doubt be satisfied with their efforts in the field. But in the end Scotland's total was more than enough after the customary early strikes from Brad Currie, followed by two more from Safyaan Sharif had reduced Namibia to 36-5 in the twelfth over. Three wickets from Chris Greaves confirmed Scotland's dominance in the comfortable win that carries them to the top of the Points Table. Namibia's only sucess was the MOM award, amazingly given to JJ Smit rather than George Munsey whose innings was undoubtedly the match winning one.
World Cup League 2, Canada lost to Scotland by 7 wickets.

Canada 184 (48.1 overs; S Movva 60, J Singh 32, S Zafar 29; B Currie 4-26, B McMullen 2-39) Scotland 187-3 (41.5 overs; G Munsey 84*, R Berrington 64; Kaleem Sana 2-20)

Scotland celebrate the win (Cricket Scotland)
Scotland put in to bat in the 'Big Yin' - a place in the U19 World Cup Finals going to the winners. The Scots will be disappointed with their final total as they lost their way mid innings after a solid opening platform had been established. Cedric de Lange claiming four wickets with his innocuous looking off spin. The chase ebbed and flowed throughout with a fourth wicket stand of 73 between Tom De Leede (67) and Teun Kloppenburg (38) getting the Dutch back into it after they fell to 35 for 3 with early wickets for Finlay Jones. Manu Saraswat looked to have won it with vital wickets but Aadit Jain (28*) gave his side late hope. In the end, Jones took his fourth wicket to clinch a 20-run win amidst great scenes. It's Scotland who claim the golden ticket of a World Cup berth and the Dutch 25-year drought continues.

POTM Manu Saraswat (Cricket Scotland)
A Man of the Match performance from Manu Saraswat ensured Scotland claimed their second win of the Qualifier as the hosts chased down their target with almost five overs to spare, adding an unbeaten half-century to his earlier four wicket haul.
Under 19 World Cup European Qualifier: Sweden lost to Scotland by 8 wickets (DLS)
Arbroath, 31 July.

Rory Grant was unbeaten on 53 in Scotland's win (Cricket Scotland)
Five wickets for Finlay Jones and two each for George Cutler and Ethan Ramsay as Sweden were bowled out for just 154.A brisk start to the chase by Ollie Pillinger whose 43 came off just 32 deliveries (8x4) and an unbroken century partnership for the third wicket between Manu Saraswat and Rory Grant saw the hosts home in quick time.
Men's T20 World Cup European Qualifier: Jersey beat Scotland by 1 wicket.
Voorburg, 11 July.
Scotland 133-7 (20 overs; M Cross 43*, M Watt 28, R Berrington 20; H Carlyon 3-26, B Ward 2-24) Jersey 134-9 (20 overs; N Greenwood 49; M Watt 2-22, C Greaves 2-25, S Sharif 2-32)
A sensational last ball win by Jersey that keeps their World Cup hopes alive while Scotland miss out! A disastrous start by the Scots who found themselves 64-6 in a vital game for both sides' hopes in securing a World T20 Finals place with a 61 run 7th wicket partnership between Matt Cross and Mark Watt saving their blushes. A quick start to the chase but with wickets falling at regular intervals Scotland fought their way back into the game. A couple of dropped catches and a missed stumping were to prove costly as Jersey quite literally scrambled over the line.
Men's T20 World Cup European Qualifier: Italy beat Scotland by 12 runs.
Voorburg, 9 July.
Italy 167-6 (20 overs; E Gay 50, G Stewart 44*, H Manenti 38; M Leask 3-9) Scotland 155-5 (20 overs; G Munsey 72, R Berrington 46*; H Manenti 5-31)

Scotland 148-9 (20 overs; O Hairs 52, C Tear 32, R Berrington 28; B de Leede 3-17, R van der Merwe 2-25, K Klein 2-27) Netherlands 142-7 (20 overs; N Croes 50*, M Levitt 22, R van der Merwe 20, S Edwards 20; C Greaves 3-26, B McMullen 2-33)
Batting first after winning the toss, Scotland lost George Munsey early on in their innings, though fellow opener Ollie Hairs was able to score 52 from 35 balls. Contributions also came from Riche Berington (28 from 23) and Charlie Tear (32 from 24) as they scored 148-9 from their 20 overs. Bas de Leede was the pick of the Dutch bowlers with 3-17. A 35 ball knock of 52 by Noah Croes was the top score in the Dutch reply, but the next highest score was Michael Levitt's 22 and they fell just short of their target, being restricted to 142-7 and losing by six runs. Chris Greaves was the pick of the bowlers with 3-26.

A record breaking 191 from George Munsey wasn't enough today (Cricket Scotland)
A record Scottish ODI score from George Munsey whose 191 included 14x4 & 11x6, propelled the Scots to seemingly safe 369. But with Max O'Dowd leading the chase the Oranje still in the game, 200 up in the 30th over. If O'Dowd is leading the way Nidamanuru and Croes are playing their their part also - 32 required off the final 4 overs. The Oranje surely favourites now, they've got the rate down from tens to a run-a-ball from the last 3 overs. Sharif can bowl two of them and he claims Croes third ball back! 11 required off 12 balls and 8 comes off Cassell's final over. 3 off 6 for a fantastic winning chase by the Netherlands. And O'Dowd wins it with a 6!! One of the great chases - what a match.

Half century for Ryan Kamwemba (Zimbabwe Cricket)
Zimbabwe Academy looked to be on course for a decent total after Ryan Kamwemba (57) and Kian Blignaut (34) shared a second wicket stand of 86 to take them to 94 for 1. However, the wheels came off in spectacular fashion as they lost their last nine wickets for just 47 to implode to 141 all out with 15 overs unused. There were four wickets for Chris Greaves, three for Safyaan Sharif and two for Jasper Davidson in an impressive display by the Scots' attack. The chase was always going to be routine despite four wickets for spinner Brendon Senzere. Good time in the middle for Finlay McCreath, Chris Greaves, Brandon McMullen and Chris McBride. That sets the Scots up well for their upcoming games against Zimbabwe A.

A last over Maximum from Michael Laesk (Zimbabwe Cricket)
Scotland piled on the runs with Matthew Cross thumping 6 sixes and 4 fours in an opening stand of 129 with Mark Watt, who also made a half century. Finlay McCreath weighed in with a breezy cameo of 30 as the tourists made an imposing 194 for 5. The first half of the chase has Scots well in control with a wicket each for Mark Watt, Jasper Davidson and Chris Greaves. In the end a very routine 66-run win for Scotland as Greaves and Watt double up. There will be sterner challenges ahead for Scotland in the week ahead.

A rain delay meant a 19 overs match and a fine bowling display by Scotland restricted Zimbabwe Academy to 105 for 6. Two wickets for Olly Davidson and one apiece for Brandon McMullen, Charlie Cassell and Chris Greaves. Effortless chase with runs for openers Matthew Cross (32*), and Mark Watt (26), allied with a quickfire 27 from Brandon McMullen. Zimbabwe Academy will be hoping for better fortunes in the afternoon game.

Max O'Dowd: The evolution to a process driven approach
Max O'Dowd is an opening batsman for the Netherlands who has quietly gone about fashioning a strong record across all three formats. He grabbed the headlines earlier this year when he guided the Dutch home in a monstrous chase of 370 against Scotland in an ODI in Dundee. Opening the innings, he made an unbeaten 158 from just 130 balls to take his team to victory with four balls remaining and four wickets in hand.
