Scotland is not bad they just lack experience

1 ODI in a year wont help them

Fans watch the Nepal-Namibia game, which the hosts eventually won by 5 wickets

We've reached the next round of Intercontinental Cup fixtures, which could be very important if the two-tier Tests come in soon. Afghanistan beat the Netherlands by an innings to put them top of the table (although Ireland are yet to play their fourth game) which Scotland have yet another game affected by rain and end up drawing with the UAE - only 66 overs were possible so both team get 7 points (the number of points you get for a draw varies in the ICup; you get basically none if its a genuine draw, the same number as a tie if more than ten hours are lost plus first innings points if those could be awarded, and slightly more if the game is abandoned without a ball being bowled). Of the four games that Scotland have played, three have been affected by rain: they got a decent points haul from the Afghanistan game because they managed to bowl them out to get the first innings lead points, the away game against Hong Kong was abandoned without a ball being bowled and they only managed half an innings in Ayr this week. Annoying that since I think we'd have taken max points from the UAE and Hong Kong if rain didn't happen, and based on the way we played in the Afghanistan game we'd have won that one as well.

One more game of this round: Ireland play Hong Kong at the end of August. I think that the PNG/Namibia game was also meant to be part of this round but they kicked it back to October, I imagine because that worked better for them.

Some of the European games get streamed on YouTube, but most of the time it's not really worth the cost of setting up a proper broadcast.

A couple of exciting tournaments have taken place in Kenya over the last couple of weeks - a Quadrangular One-Day Series followed by a Quadrangular Twenty20 Series between Kenya, Qatar, Saudi and Uganda. Kenya won the one-day series as expected, but in the Twenty20 series we're looking at a Qatar-Saudi final tomorrow after this surprising result.

Note also that Qatar has a top-quality cricket venue already.

33rd Match: Hong Kong v Netherlands at Mong Kok, Feb 16, 2017 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

After that amazing match HK are chasing similar kind of target and are well on course. If anyone wants to watch the match live, you can do that

Nice broadcasting overlay ^

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

True. Love the overlay. I jinxed the HK team . Lost Nizakat Khan for 41 just when he was looking dangerous

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Too many dot balls. One thing Associate countries need to learn is running between and rotating the strike. 96 required of 67

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

It is slipping away 25 from 8

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

22 of 4 and its basically game over. HK came so close second time in a row and will be disappointed[DOUBLEPOST=1487406987][/DOUBLEPOST]Nepal vs Kenya next match in the WCL. Would be rooting for Nepal
