Cricket has all the ingredients to become a global game. Best way to provide great exposure.
In the last year Scotland defeated 4 Full Members - Afghanistan, England, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe - in 11 50-over games. Remarkable considering get one-eighth ICC cash of Zim, and had spate of early retirements / players unavailable due to lack of opportunities.
Teams with massive potential like, Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland along with many others have to be given more opportunities to play against the more experienced teams
.
Scotland stunts England by scoring 371-5,in their 50 overs Top 4 batters gave a strong balance in their batting where openers gave a firey start followed with MacLeod scored a ton to register his mark to the world with 140 runs.
Then Berrington and Munsey scored a quick fire of 39 and 55 respectively.
However, England's charge collapsed in the middle overs as they slumped from 220-2 to 365 all out in 48.5 overs and Scotland went on to beat their rivals for the first time in ODI cricket at the fifth attempt, despite an eighth-wicket stand of 71 between Moeen Ali (46) and Liam Plunkett (47 not out) dragging the away side back into the game.
