Scotland v England at The Grange

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Scotland 76-0 after 11 overs. Looks like a great wicket for batting on.

[marinello59]

Great atmosphere. Coetzer just gone but good start by Scotland

[H18 SFR]

Start of a collapse?

[weecounty hibby]

Scotland batting really well at the moment

Baws! I knew when I was typing that it would be a jinx

312 for 4 I hear. I have very liitle clue to cricket and I hate the pricks that play cricket - possibly some for Scotland due to the fact that the guys that practised at the meadows used to get really aggressive if you went on what they deemed as their ground even though you would be far away from them and have no clue why they were running angrily at you until they got to you to insult you (this is to kids of 10 yresas old I hasten to add) and tell you to get off their pitch or whatever the stuck up ****s call it. Hope they get ****ed to be honest

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

371-5, doubt it'll be enough, great effort though.

I love when somebody only manages to demonstrate their own pig ignorance. :aok:

Highest ODI score Scotland has managed. Fingers crossed.

England would need their highest winning score in a run chase, think they might do it though.

Aye. Early wickets needed to sow the seeds of doubt amongst the England batsmen.

Quality rant! Though I ran out of breath trying to read it aloud...
Personally I like the old Wilson Pickett.

[SideBurns]

Playing Pakistan in a T20 at 4pm back at The Grange on Tuesday. Anyone ken how much the tickets are? Wish I was there today, regardless of the eventual result!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Things looking ominous, 107-0 from 10 overs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Bairstow on fire here, could be over with about 8 overs left.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Bairstow gone, 105 from 59 balls.

[Hiber-nation]

Come on lads, keep it tight!

[Hibbyradge]

Blown it :boo hoo:

[Hiber-nation]

Yaaaaaas!!!

[Pretty Boy]

Go on the Scotland.

That was as exciting a finish to a sporting event I've seen since about May 2016.

[Hibbyradge]

Unbelievable!

[DaveF]

Highest ODI score Scotland has managed. Fingers crossed.

Hope you and the boy enjoyed that J. Was listening on the radio and it sounded like a great game.

Scenes here. One of the best sporting occasions I have ever attended.

Get in there! Tremendous entertainment.

One of. Not 'the best' lol....

I'm now seriously hacked off that I got tickets for England v Australia at Durham rather than this game!

[MartinfaePorty]

Superb. Fantastic match. Hopefully can get more matches like this up here on a regular basis.

Stunning, totally stunning! What a performance from Scotland

[Ich liebe Deek]

Very well played.Looked like a cracking day out.Would have been a tragedy if Scotland didn’t get a win there.Get pelters from my mates for playing cricket but it’s a great sport once you get your head around the finer detail of it🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Believe there was an invasion? Were any England players assaulted? Have TRFC contacted the police?

Police Scotland have their overtime sorted out for the next twelve months now apparently. :greengrin

Reminiscent of the 1980 Scottish Cup final, disgraceful scenes.

32 for adults.

[Stonewall]

Just watched the highlights; I am so proud of the team.

Would have love to have been there and a great shot in the arm for the many people in Scotland who love the game. Long ago stooped worrying about what other people though about my other sporting passion but it is sad to see kids giving up the game because of the slagging they get from their so called mates.

My son just announced he wants to go to the Pakistan game and I'm working.

[Lancs Harp]

A fantastic performance from Scotland and a great game. Im a big cricket fan and I hope this result gives the game north of the border a big kick. Looked a decent crowd in too.

Well done fellas.

Lee Wallace is on a life support machine. Hope he pulls through.

I hope it inspires a few more kids to take up the game. Two of the players today used to play for the club my son plays for so he is absolutely buzzing.

[hibee62]

Awesome today! When England won the toss and out Scotland in they were clearly hoping for a quick game, and it came back to bite them.

Scotland dominated 3/4 of that match and I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Even without the rivalry this is still the number 1 side in the world who have been put to the sword.

Not held that grudge for long. :greengrin

Great game that was and a thoroughly deserved win for Scotland.

Hopefully he's still trying those leggies. Just keep me a comp for his debut :-)

Yep....was there too.....brilliant day.

[WeeRussell]

Quality stuff. Won't pretend to have any real knowledge or liking for the game, but it was enjoyable stuff to watch it going right down to the wire. I'd kind of expected it to end sourly (as it normally does in these occasions) but what an ending.

I remember, as a young lad, asking my English (living in Scotland), cricket-loving, uncle if he supported England or Scotland. His response was "England. Scotland don't have a cricket team.. well not one you can talk about anyway". I imagine he'll be talking about them today :greengrin

[hibee62]

Scotland are playing the number 1 t20 team, Pakistan, today and tomorrow at 4pm with tickets on the gate. They’ve struggled to sell these ones on top of the England game.

They stopped selling tickets online before Sundays epic victory.

[Mibbes Aye]

Gorgeous day here at the Grange, Pakistan playing some very nice strokes and with a really good support.

38-1 in the fifth over.

Scotland took another wicket just as I was typing

[Mibbes Aye]

Halfway through their overs, Pakistan on 82-2, playing some nice shots and getting a good support from the crowd.

[I'm_cabbaged]

What’s a good score for the 20? Went to put this on sky and they have woman’s 1 day on 😢

[HH81]

Good score would be over 170. All depends on pitch though.

Anyone see what happened with England women v South A women? Throw came in from boundary and SA player instead of running her out she just stood there with ball in hand by wickets. Very odd.

[Mibbes Aye]

Pakistan finished 204-4. Lots of singles but they took advantage of the short boundary and knocked a good few sixes and fours. Scotland still have a fighting chance, it doesn’t look a bowler-friendly wicket.

[JeMeSouviens]

Is the Grange the cricket ground behind Raeburn place or is there another one up at the Grange, ie. Newington-ish?

[Mibbes Aye]

It’s down at Stockbridge.

[Mibbes Aye]

Scotland 37-0 after four overs, survived a catch due to a no ball

[Mibbes Aye]

66-2 now, Pakistani pace and line showing its quality

[Mibbes Aye]

82-4, Pakistani spin has blooked off the runs and got wickets. The Scottish spinners were getting knocked about the field.

[Mibbes Aye]

Scotland 156-6 after the twenty overs. Pakistan simply a good level above.

Always tomorrow night though. Pakistan can be brilliant one game and ordinary the next.

[Mibbes Aye]

Exactly.

Dictionary definition of ‘mercurial’.

They werent actually that great today, just ticked off the easy singles and picked on our weaker bowlers, and then their spinners blocked off ends and their pace bowlers were bowling at speeds most of our guys wouldn’t be used to.

They are definitely classy but if Scotland can up their bowling and batting (and I think they can) then they stand a chance. They didn’t let themselves down in the fielding department, they were pretty sharp.

[Mibbes Aye]

Just read that Pakistan's 204 was their second-highest T20 score ever and they are rated as one of the best T20 sides in the world so I guess that adds a bit of perspective.

[hibee62]

They stopped selling tickets online before Sundays epic victory.

Yeah, just because of postage times. All remaining tickets as of last Thursday on the gate, 2nd game today.

[Mibbes Aye]

Anyone at today’s game? Looks like Shoab Malik enjoyed himself with the bat! Chaseable target for Scotland though.

[hibee62]

I was there again, pretty poor today though. Well beaten in the end.

Bowled and fielded better for 15 overs or so then it all went wrong, a few dropped catches and mis-fields when looking for a quick pick up and throw. There was one absolutely brilliant relay catch from Dylan budge and mark watt, though, search on Twitter for Dylan budge and you should find a video, I think grange CC put one up.

Batting was really poor, except Macleod although he seemed to bat for himself at times. Can’t be too hard on them after Sunday and a half decent show yesterday.

They now head to the Netherlands for a tri-series with the Dutch and Irish. Then that’s it for Scottish international cricket this summer.
