Have started today. participating are Ireland, Scotland, The Netherlands, Denmark and Italy.

The matches between Ireland, Scotland and Ireland wil lbe full ODI's.

Today's scores so far:

Denmark vs Ireland: Ireland 209ao.
Bit of a surprise, gives the Danes a chance of an upset and the favourites a banana skin right under their feet.

The Netherlands vs. Italy: Netherlands 317/7 (van Bunge 123, Ten Doeschate 68)
Should be an easy win for the Dutch.

Tomorrow it's the first big clash with the Scotland vs. The Netherlands ODI at Ayr.

Shame about Denmark. 35-4 now, with Langford-Smith taking three wickets. Klokker really shouldn't face the new ball, keep, and captain (and his dad should realise that). David Borchersen is crocked, too, so there's one of their main seam options taken out.

There's the second division, too, which takes place in Scotland at the same time. (which means no promotion until 2008). Eight teams take part in that tournament, including Norway, who opened well - France won the toss and batted on a minefield, got bowled out for 110, and Norway eased to victory after 44* from allrounder Mohammad Zeeshan Ali. Meanwhile, Israel's game with Jersey got cancelled due to protestors, and Greece beat Germany.

Denmark now 52/6, so no problems for Ireland after all.

The Dutch going well too, Italy 43/2 off 9, with Ryan ten Doeschate taking 2 wickets with his first two balls.

Would be nice. Not a bad hitter either :).

If only the Dutch could get their bowling attack in order...they need one new ball bowler who's faster than medium and one more middle-over medium pacer. They've already got a good batting line-up.

Eoin Morgan on 73* in the first of three ODIs in this tournament. Ireland are 164-7 though, with Andre Botha stumped off medium-pacer (IIRC) Craig Wright, and Niall O'Brien the only one to pass 20, while spinner Ross Lyons has 2-20, Paul Hoffmann once again stars with miserly medium pace (7-0-14-1), while John Blain has joined the ranks of useless ODI bowlers from the UK, 6-0-41-0.

After seeing the line-ups, Scotland >>>> Ireland. Their batting is a bit fragile tho.

http://www.cricketeurope4.net/LIVE/4/live.shtml should do it. After the matches they appear here.

While Cricinfo, no doubt, continues with "oh, the evil small cricket boards aren't allowing us in" (read: "don't want to pay their outrageous prices just so that two cricket sites can cover the game instead of one")

Should be enough for a win, that. Two years ago, Norway bowled Israel out for 72. Which would mean Norway are virtually assured of a semi-final place.

Also, Eoin Morgan run out for 99! The lad is just 19...(ponders England middle order of Cook, Joyce, Morgan, Pietersen, Flintoff...)

Edit: Hoffmann 8 overs?! (well, I see got smacked for 15 in his eighth. Sort of makes sense then.)
