Scottish cricket was on a heady path
Five years ago, it seemed as if Scottish cricket was on a heady path towards gaining widespread acceptance and preaching to the unconverted. Craig Wright’s men swept all before them at the ICC
Since 2007, when the national team’s World Cup party was rudely interrupted by Australia and South Africa – which was expected – and by the Netherlands – which wasn’t – cricket has hit the rocks in Scotland.
Yet, part of the wider malaise lies in the absence of any obvious long-term vision for cricket in these parts, a deficiency for which the governing body, Cricket Scotland, must be held responsible. play bingo for free Bingo-sites.co.uk offer all the latest news on free bingo games.

Hampshire v Scottish Saltires (Rose Bowl)
Nottinghamshire Outlaws, 256 for six wickets, defeated Scottish Saltires, 213 all out, by 43 runs
The Saltires, dissatisfied with their performance batting first against Kent the previous day, wanted to make amends against a strong Nottinghamshire Outlaws line-up on Sunday (May 23). The Saltires lost again, but not without some spirited and combative effort, this time chasing a large target.
Robin Hood may be the movie of the moment, but the Outlaws sent in their biggest batsmen to rob the poor and enrich the feast of their star-studded team.And Russell Crowe was not on hand amongst the slightly disappointing 400+ crowd to help the Scots on another hot and sunny afternoon at Citylets Grange.
