Day 4 - Scotch-drunk Kiwi batting!







Trent Boult and Tim Southee are proving to be too much for established batsmen - what could poor Scots do in front of such accurate bowling? With the abundant county experience in the team, the Scots did manage to stretch it a bit. But 140+ was going to stretch nobody except if the batsmen were batting wrong-handed, which most of the Kiwis tried to do anyways!!

Pool A is a set pool - I don't see any upsets for the big-4, in spite of the presence of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Scotland. There, I have said it!

Can't say the same about Pool B though!

G-Section:

Everybody said New Zealand. They all thought that they will bat first and they thought that the swing in the air will make them lose around half the side. Alas! NZL had different plans.

As a result, nobody won anything!

Situation remains the same.




Tomorrow's game is the best of associates (horror! I am rating Bangladesh as an associate still!)
