What Drama
One of the better games I've seen and no surprises there it involves a so called Associate team again
Congrats to @CricketScotland and @Beagleboy172 and @MeerGoose11 and his Men @Safyaan50 well bowled@calummacleod640 well batted— Sikandar Raza (@SRazaB24) 10 June 2018
Cricket has all the ingredients to become a global game. 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. Best way to provide great exposure. #SCOvENG

Results like today show that the @ICC do care about Associate cricket – they pour development resources in like no tomorrow and it is starting to show. Take your anger out on the member boards who don't want their power base threatened.#ScovEng

This is why @CricketScotland @Irelandcricket and @KNCBcricket amongst others should be at the World Cup

What a win for @CricketScotland! Shows the strength and depth in world cricket right now beyond the top 10… #growthegame #SCOvENG

Congratulations @CricketScotland on a brilliant win today. Pity we won't see a repeat at the World Cup. Give it a chance and cricket could really become a global game.

That is a huge result for @CricketScotland and for international cricket! Wonder if @ICC are even watching what’s going on!
So happy for the players, coaches and support staff who have made the win happen!
Associates are getting stronger! #takenote #followscotland— Rob Taylor (@robtaylor1989) June 10, 2018
Who said Associate nations can't compete against Full Members?

Don’t worry England cricket fans I’ve organised a game v @CricketRussia in Moscow to soften the blow of losing to @CricketScotland#embarrassing but well done Scotland
— Darren Gough (@DGoughie) June 10, 2018
England number 1. Must be doing something right. Let's not go back to the 80s and 90's. @sambillings not played much, @MoeenAli not played much.
To many runs really. Not the batting.
Well played Scotland. Move on.
