That was like a kick in the nuts. We need them to at least play well, somehow would make the pain a bit less.

14/1 odds of Scotland beating England today. If they're on a shit deck that's a good bet.

Kensington Oval. Presumably the pitch will be decent, but those are good odds (if they're real). T20 anything can happen and Scotland are not shit.
What would England Zim be? 30/1?

Namibia/Oman was the same ground I think? Didn’t look overly great for batting.

Rooting for my Scottish heritage today.

I did think most of the pitches would be tricky. Really levels the playing field, every game the big teams play against an Associate is a banana skin.
I know there's added pressure playing an international, but it shows how good those IPL pitches are.

If thats the case, then it should be called "IPL slabs" instead of pitches. Proper pitches should have something in it for the bowlers as well.

Too many Associate wins could knock ZIM from 12th. Take Netherlands for example, if they knock of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and Nepal they'd be getting mighty close. They also would fancy their chances against Choke Africa as well.

The wickets don't look that great. Very slow and variable in their bounce
