Nepal is situated in a region where we have 5 test teams, i.e., Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Srilanka and Afghanistan but still there is no presence of Nepal in ICC events. In ICC MEN'S CRICKET WORLD CUP LEAGUE 2, Nepal is at second last place but they were able to beat the top team i.e. Scotland today. This tells the story that Nepal has the potential to play good cricket.

The geographical location is right but they need to produce consistent performance to be able to included among the main teams, Afghanistan earned their position by being the top team in the associate leagues and winning major tournaments and if Nepal can replicate that kind of performance consistently then they can move up the division and compete among the top teams which might actually take a lot of time considering their rankings.

Yes, early judgement is not good. Each and every human being is comprised of sin. This is not fair with the Scottish players, it is against the sportsmanship. Nepal is really a good team and their performances were really impressive. In today's match Nepal lost early wicket, but from the one down the players did responsible play and took it to an easy win.

In my opinion Namibia team was also played a good innings today. Because 274 runs is quite a good amount in ODI format. However, Namibia's bowling side looked a bit weak today as their three bowlers game over 7 runs per power.
On the other hand, Nepal kept their batting sides same as Namibia till 17 or 18 overs but around after 20 overs they brought an extra speed to the game and it enabled them to win till the last.

The positive thing for Nepal was almost all of the players were able to bat well consistently. For Namibia, the one individual score that stood out was Zane Green. They needed one or two more half centuries. In the end, it was not as close as I thought it could be. With 15 balls and 3 wickets left, it was a good performance from Nepal. And Nepal was also able to keep the required run rate under control.

LOL... this is definitely not true. Nepal team is 100% comprised of Nepali citizens. Unlike the case with United Arab Emirates and Oman, they don't want to import first class players from India and Pakistan and create a "national" team that doesn't contain any nationals. But this strategy hasn't worked well for them. Over the years, they have lost in major ICC tournaments to teams that are primarily comprised of foreigners. And as a result of this, their fund allocation from the ICC has been reduced to almost nothing.

BTW, some shit is going on with the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. During the last match between Scotland and Nepal, the Scottish players refused to shake hands with Sandeep Lamichhane, who is currently undergoing legal proceedings for rape charges. Lamichhane claims that he was trapped and the charges are false. But the court is yet to announce its verdict and he is out on bail as of now.

Yes, it is true. Nepal is not made up of foreign players like the other teams, UAE, Oman, etc. And that is a very good thing for any team. Nepal is a team that certainly has very good potential. With a little more funding from the ICC, it could have been a better future for Nepal. But we all know that the actual authority, the big four, do not want that to happen. The money is only going to go where they want it to go.

No one in the world actually believes in the phrase, "innocent until proven guilty". People say they believe that. But they do not actually follow that. people that are very quick to judge anyone. From my point of view, it was disrespectful toward Sandeep Lamichhane. If he is proven innocent, how are they going to make it up to him?

Meanwhile Nepal is having another ODI against Namibia and so far Namibia has scored 232 runs and lost 6 wikcete. Nepal has got key wikcet of Pikky Ya France. He is unlucky to miss his fifty by just 1 runs. With 9 balls left it looks like Namibia will give target of 250.

Has this act of not shaking hands committed by Nepal players the biased ICC would have intervened by now. But since the act is done by Scotland so ICC has no issue with it. As long as the matter is in court no one can blame Lamichhane. Its the court which has to give decision not players.

I don't have much experience about Nepal team. However, after seeing Nepal's performance against Scotland, I can understand that Nepal will have a chance to win this match too if Nepali batsmen are able to perform as they did in the previous match.

Nepal certainly has the potential. But the problem is a lot of players are not from Nepal in the team. That is a big reason why they are also not going to be very interested in improving. They are of course going to take it as a part-time job. And even if they do take it as a full-time job, they are going to be in it for the money.

Of course, beating a team like Scotland is a great result for them. But another problem is that Nepal is not very consistent in their performance. They will have to show consistent performance if they want to actually get noticed. If they cannot perform consistently against these types of opponents, they are not going to be able to beat top level teams.

Nepal wanted a win and they got it. Scotland is already at the top of the points table and none of the other teams can overtake them, even if they lose the remaining two matches. On the other hand, Nepal only has 22 points from 26 matches, and they are currently at the 6th place in the points table (out of a total of 7 teams). Since the ICC funding is based on performance, they need to win a majority of the remaining matches to keep their funding at the same level. Else there will be another reduction to the funding that they receive from the ICC (already the allocation was reduced by 80% in 2015).

Scotland needed to win this match. But Nepal really showed great skill, Nepali batsmen managed to reach the target in Scotland very well. But if Scotland's batsmen could score 300 plus runs then they would have some chance.

Scotland vs Nepal

Big disappointment for Scotland. 274 runs is quite good in ODI and Nepal have reached the target in 47 overs with 18 balls remaining. Nepal have won the toss and decided to bowl, Michael Leask scored 107* runs and the rest contributed in two digits making it a better score.

Nepal started to chase the target. Continued wicket fall and at some point Nepal's score was 77/5, further the bottom order performed well and won the match. It was Dipendra Singh Airee's 85* runs and Kushal Malla's 81(67 balls) that made Nepal win against Scotland.

Scotland's 274 is certainly a good score but defeat was due to their bowling action. They were able to put pressure early on against Nepal but later the lower order handled the pressure and performed brilliantly. Nepali Bartsman must be praised in this regard especially Dipendra Singh Airee who led the team in batting during tough situation. His 85 off 116 balls turned a losing match into victory for Nepal.

Scotland have been in dominating form since the start of the Cricket World Cup League season. Although they have lost some of the last few matches due to poor performance, they are still number one in the team standings in the table. They have won 22 team matches out of 32 matches and lost only eight matches for their total points of 46. But in this case, Oman is going to be another competitor, they are in second position with 44 points. Next they have a match against Nepal, let's see if they can win this match and retain the number one spot in the rankings.

Agreed. Scotland dominated the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, ever since the competition started in 2019. But then, the question is what to they gain from this, given that there is no promotion/relegation system. Ideally they should have been promoted to the next edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, but then the ICC decided to cancel the tournament altogether. So what is the point in playing all these matches and winning them, if that doesn't result in getting more opportunities or funds?

Namibia has got a bad start to their game against Scotland. They are at 22/1 after 8 overs. Karl Birkenstock got out to Mark Watt for just 4 runs. This match is crucial for Namibia, because they need to win 4 out of their remaining 5 matches, if they want to overtake Oman in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Michael van Lingen (who scored a century in the match against Nepal yesterday) is batting out there with Lo-handre Louwrens. Scotland doesn't have much to worry, as they are at the top of the point table and it is impossible for any other team to overtake them.

It was a great match by Scotland As their bowling started well, they also performed very well in terms of batting. On the other hand, Namibia batted a little bit better in the early stages and then completely lost their four wickets in around 10 overs. All of Namibia's batsmen failed to perform except their first opener Lohan Louwrens . The Namibian bowlers were also very costly in terms of bowling. And that opportunity was taken very well by Scotland's batsmen and ended the match with a win. And I would agree with you that Scotland will not drop from the top position if their performance goes like this

This match was absolutely one sided. Namibia did not have any chance with the score that they put on. At one point I actually thought that this is probably a bowling pitch. And the match may actually be interesting at one point. But that did not happen. Scotland did not lose even one wicket. And they absolutely found it easy. George Munsey scored a 100 which was really incredible and entertaining to watch. It was a really quick one as well. A very good dominating performance from Scotland.

First, he got sacked because of the poor performance of the India team in the T20WC held last year. Then he was again got reinstated this year as the Chief Selector by BCCI. After reading about the sting operation I got baffled by what he has accidentally disclosed. Image of a lot every Indian player has been tarnished by this baboon.

A lot of nonsense came out of his mouth. This man was either high or he thinks himself as BCCI. The below meme is not mine but I found it relevant to this post as it clearly implies what he has done to himself in my opinion.

Udata teer lmao Grin

Anyway, i watched this news in bits n pieces and didn't find anything interesting as most of it was in the public domain already, more or less. It's just sports media wasn't talking about it more.

The only positive thing would be the sacking of Chetan Sharma for good on disciplinary grounds. He's actually a spineless selector and in this sting sounds like a bigmouth idiot.
