They have only used about 3 or 4 venues between Bulawayo and Harare, not like its grounds all over the country. I understand it is expensive, but if the associate nations are to be given a full opportunity when these 'big' tournaments come around, then the ICC needs to treat them that way; not as 2nd class citizens. If you want to develop cricket give exposure and do it properly.
And I have actually been pretty impressed with the standard of cricket this tournament, which bodes well for the game.

Oh yeah I agree it should have been there, but the level of cbf from the ICC in terms of funding goes way beyond not having it. We weren't even close to having DRS in this tournament given they didn't even fund it well enough for cameras most of the time.

So you can regurgitate them on your twitter feed as you do with every other conspiracy theory you've ever heard, I assume.

Was it that sudden a downpour that they couldn’t get the 12th man to run out with a bit of paper detailing the targets?

Sudden downpour.

I'm glad we qualified but that's a really unsatisfactory way to do it.
I got the feeling we would have won but it wasn't certain and that was a really poor lbw decision.
Scotland have improved a lot and I'm really sorry that they won't get to go to the world cup.
We still have a lot of thinking to do ahead of the world cup as our ODI team is simply not good enough.
Is Gayle done and do we need to find a new opener to join Lewis? We still can't rotate the strike well enough at all in the middle order.
We have to do better than the likes of Nurse/Miller and Bishoo for middle over spin options. Cornwall has to come in.
On the positive side some of our players got much needed experience and the seam bowling in the powerplays was excellent.

I'd go further and say that tactically he is a very poor captain. Even today he had noone at first slip against new batsmen when we were desperately trying to get wickets.

Quite apt that Scotland have a glorious failure to go out with. Sums up the nation in sport really.
