Senior NAT Team - General Discussion

[Speedy17]

The overcast kinda scares me, might be a seamers dream this pitch.

[Penky]

M. Khaleel (lf) 6-3-9-3, R. Quinn 12 (24b), T. Garrett 0 (0b)
End of over 26 (maiden) - USA(84-8) RR 3.23

Khaleel in on the action with a double wicket maiden

[Penky]

Fielding has been insanely good too, taken every chance and only 1 misfield out of 12 standard checks

[Penky]

31.2WAbbas to Quinn : [runout] Cracking shot! No wait it's a wicket! Quinn smashes the ball down the ground and sets off for a single. Mid-on appears from nowhere, Garrett sends Quinn back, but it's too late. A direct hit from Armanjani has Quinn shaking his head as he takes the long, lonely walk back to the pavilion.R. Quinn run out (I. Armanjani) 29 (51b 4x4 0x6) SR:56.86

Armanjani taking names even when not bowling now!
USA not going to be pleased with this one

[MOD-MrMoose]

Going at a decent clip chasing too, hopefully they keep this up. Scotland have got themselves in big trouble chasing a low score on a hard. If that carries on could be looking at a win-and-up tomorrow!
