Week One Roundup C

Joining Scotland in Pool 2 of the Super Twelves are Namibia, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh add to the pressure in Pool 1, where England begin their campaign tomorrow versus West Indies. Meanwhile, the Scots get a well-earned rest before resuming on Monday against Afghanistan in the first of what they must regard as two potentially winnable matches in Week Two.

In comparison to the rest of the Netherlands batting line-up, Max O'Dowd's positively Tendulkarian two runs versus Sri Lanka take him to the end of the prelims at the top of the run chart, still shadowed by Oman's Jatinder Singh who also had a final game to forget. They'll almost certainly be overtaken in the coming week by the raft of batsmen trailing them who remain in the tournament, with Shakib Al Hasan finally finding form, Gerhard Erasmus knocking a match-winning half-century versus Ireland, and Richie Berrington continuing to clear the ropes in the Scottish middle order, while David Wiese completes the half-dozen players to make it to three figures thus far. With the ball, three teams getting themselves bowled out in the last couple of days has changed the face of the rankings, with Shakib helping himself to four scalps against Papua New Guinea, Scotland's Josh Davey bagging three against Oman, and Sri Lanka flooding the table with names following their demolition of the Dutch.
