Is there going to be a different thread for each of these WC games?
I’m happy to follow along but not sure even an Aussie game will get much traction when it’s all on Prime.

Last world cup was well followed and that was in an infinitely worse time zone

I think it's the best way, I thought about doing group threads but that could lead to people talking at cross purposes. Some will be busier than others but this way people can talk about each game.

Always enjoy hearing "Rally Round the West Indies" at an ICC/BCCI event.

 

[Cleavy]

Scotland fielding first

 

[Plugger35]

Scotland have one of the best anthems going around, it's certainly better than the Windies one.

 

[Plugger35]

Prime is even worse than Kayo with all these delays due to technical issues, the same thing happened during the last T20 WC.

 

[Plugger35]

Leask taking the big wicket of Hope and nearly getting another one in that over too.

 

[Plugger35]

Davidson with a wicket on debut, the Scottish spinners are doing a decent job.

 

[MJG14]

Oh they've wheeled out that dickhead Danny Morrison for commentary. Kill me.

HETTY BRUV

 

[Plugger35]

Hetmyer is landing some big blows now.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hetmyer lighting it up.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

50 off 22 balls.

Hetmyer is flying.

 

[Plugger35]

The Windies should go close to 200 now with 8 wickets in hand.

 

[ioppolo]

Rutherford flying playing some proper cricket shots! That last one was sublime.

 

[Plugger35]

A great catch from McMullen, Hetmyer will be kicking himself for not hitting that full toss for another six.

 

[Plugger35]

A good last couple of overs from Scotland to restrict the Windies to 182, that will probably still be too much for them though.

 

[PhatBoy]

Just a lazy hat trick to Romario Shepherd to open the tournament. No biggy for the world’s strongest cricketing nation

 

[Plugger35]

Shepherd taking a hat trick and the Windies are going to have a comfortable win.

Scotland have put up a decent fight but as I expected that total was too much for them.

[The Majestic]

I was hoping that Scotland was going to get a little closer, but the Windies really did a great job of ripping through them.

Hatty to Shepherd was amazing.

 

[ioppolo]

Four wickets in an over for Shepherd including a hattrick, not a bad afternoon's work.
