Scotland v England at the T20 World Cup
Scotland men are in the T20 World Cup which starts on Sunday in the West Indies and USA. Their first game in Group B is on Tuesday (15:30 UK time) against England in Barbados. The match is on Sky or follow the team @CricketScotland .
4 out of 4 for the 1s
The 1s had a resounding win at home on Saturday against East Renfrewshire (by 258 runs). A challening total was set with the first home century of 101 from Chris, 51 from Jono and 20s by Adam, Fergus, Wahid and Tommy. Three wickets each for James and Al stymied the visitors plus two wickets apiece for Brocky and Callum (who is the joint leading wicket taker in the league with 11, along with Al). Read the match report here.
Elsewhere the weather took its toll. The 2s were cancelled away at East Renfrewshire; for the Sunday XI it was the same away at Stainton and 2 attempts to play the first midweek game away at Annan have not succeeded.
However James Hallam Colts have now started with a five wicket loss at Galloway on Wednesday evening in the Midweek League.
