    What's happening with our Cricket team.? Chasing 372 off 50 overs to beat Scotland in a One day game.
    We'll never live it down if they manage to beat us. Live on Sky Sports.

    Erm we’re number 1 in the world one poor bowling performance doesn’t make them a bad side. Still got a great chance of chasing this down.

    On track at the moment. Bairstow and Roy playing well. Let's hope you're right Wellsie.

    Things aren't looking too great now, fellas! Hopefully Ali and Billings can put a decent partnership together.

    A worry that Anderson has a serious shoulder injury .
    I hope that it isn't a career threatening problem .

    England clearly have some talented one day players but I think it's equally clear that quite a number of them are a bit thick - Hales, Roy, Ali, Billings, Willey and Rashid all involved with some brainless batting, not for the first time with most of them.

    Well done Scotland, much more savvy under pressure.

    Fully deserved. I did wonder if we would struggle chasing that big target. Rashids run out really had us wobbling in the end. A single would have done.

    But Emmswuf Tyke used to say that England were the best team in the world.

    Bumble on Sky Sports said, verbatim: "England are the best team in the world," and thus it was so.

    How can this have happened?

    Not Rashid it was Plunkett that wanted to keep strike when all was needed was a run a ball .

    Rashid should have told him to **** off, like Wood did two balls later.

    We sacrificed a couple of our wickets by attempting to take runs instead of biding our time,
    but well played Scotland.

    Can Any of you cricket types remember around 30 years ago the Freuchie cricket club from Fife went to Lords and won. I don't follow cricket but that occasion was big news back then. You can read up about it on google
