Scotland and rain have always had a close relationship

We just need to find a way to use midges to our sporting advantage and we'll be unstoppable.

Good luck to Scotland, but it is pretty shambolic to schedule a World Cup in the Caribbean in rainy season and have no contingency days for washouts. Who knows what would have happened with the England v Scotland game but essentially England will be out because of the order of their fixtures.

Notionally 11 overs a side starting at 9, but I think we’ve all seen this before.

Getting the authorities to take Irn Bru and Buckfast off the PEDs list would help too.

Seems like they're going to play. Namibia win the toss and choose to field, as you would.

England are going to set a target of about 10 here.

Wiese is a lovely bowler, that’s a great two overs.

The problem is the BCCI own cricket and everything has to revolve around the IPL. A WI tournament should be in March like the 2007 World Cup was. From memory not a single game rained off.
