Moments of The Day: Berrington, Davey Help Scotland Make it 2 in 2

  • Richie Berrington & Matthew Cross help Scotland post a large total. When they came in, Scotland were 26-2 in 3.4 overs. When Cross departed, they had climbed up tpo 118 in 14.3 overs. Clean striking from these two. A beautiful one-handed catch by Berrington to go along with the runs.
  • Kabua Morea & Chad Soper combined figures were 55/7. This included Morea’s beautiful bowled to Coetzer and a 4-wicket over in the 20th (including a run-out). Restricted Scotland from 151-3 in 18 to just 165/9.
  • Brad Wheal-Josh Davey-Alasdair Evans are making a good medium pace trio as they each took a wicket a piece to get rid of PNG’s top order. Davey’s 3.3-0-18-4 ensured that the late assault by Norman Vanua – 47 (37), Kiplin Doriga -18 (11), and Kabua Morea – 6* (1) did not amount to a win for PNG.

Honorable Mention: Siaka’s 3 catches, Amini’s 2 catches

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: PNG Out

The game was closer than the scores suggested. They were right in it till the last over. In the first match against Oman, Vala-Amini were taking the game away before Amini’s run-out. A good fielding unit, they would look back at their batting errors and reflect if they missed out on a World Cup win.
