‘They’ve improved a hell of a lot’: Scotland eager to prove full-member credentials after T20 World Cup heartbreakSeptember 2nd, 2024 12:35 pm
Led by Mitchell Marsh, the Australians returned to Scotland this week for a three-match bilateral T20 series, welcomed by the drone of a blaring bagpipe as they exited the team bus. The Scots almost booked their place in last year’s 50-over World Cup in the subcontinent after toppling Zimbabwe, Ireland and the West Indies during the qualifiers, but they fell to the Netherlands at the final hurdle.
“Scotland are a really good outfit, I think they’ve improved a hell of a lot over the last few years,” Australian captain Marsh said at the time.Australia's Glenn Maxwell is bowled cheaply by Scotland spinner Mark Watt.
