Angelfire probably doesn't allow hotlinking, that's why the sketch of the stadium not showing. I think you may remove the image link.

Any other images available?

Media release from Cricket Scotland

Cricket Scotland names national squad to play Test nation Bangladesh Wednesday 1st and Friday 3rd September 2004 The Grange, Edinburgh
Play begins: 1045am

Cricket Scotland selectors have today (Monday 30 August) named the Lloyds TSB Scotland squad that will play Bangladesh, a Test playing nation, at the Grange, Edinburgh this week. The two 50-over matches, to be played on Wednesday 1st and Friday 3rd September (start 1045am) will provide the visitors with final match practice ahead of their first match in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England. Bangladesh is
scheduled to play South Africa at Edgbaston on Sunday 12 September.

Looking ahead to Scotland's matches against the Test nation, Peter Drinnen, Cricket Scotland's technical director, said: "It's a wonderful opportunity to play another competitive international fixture, get a measure of how our lads are progressing and in the bigger picture, see how far away Scotland is from competing at the top (one-day international) level of the sport."

Scotland last played Bangladesh during the ICC 1999 World Cup. On that occasion, Scotland was all out for 163, losing by 22 runs. The previous year, Scotland played Bangladesh twice. Scotland won their first
(50-over) match by seven wickets and subsequently recorded a draw against Bangladesh in a three-day match. Five of th e players who helped Scotland record its 1998 win over Bangladesh are included in next week's squad; Craig Wright, Douglas Lockhart, Asim Butt, Ian Stanger [Ed: not mentioned below?] and Gregor Maiden.

The Bangladesh Test team will arrive at Edinburgh airport on Tuesday 31 August at 9.05am. You are invited to send a reporter / photographer to record their arrival. On the evening of Thursday 2 September, the Bangladesh squad will be guests of celebrity chef and fellow Bangladeshi, Tommy Miah at his Raj restaurant in Leith, Edinburgh.

so, anyone knows if we'll be getting live coverage or live updates from any sources? I mean as a fact. i don't wanna wake up at 5:45 to see that all bc members are waiting like hungry crows for updates, but mr. update is out on a vacation.

[roboutram]

Hi guys, don't know myself yet if there'll be live coverage, the Cricket Scotland site has in the past kept some scores on their front page.

I run The Rampant Lion site mentioned in a previous post and there are a few people we know who will be at the match, I'll try to keep in touch with them and get scores which I can then post on the Scotland v Bangladesh page

I intend to be at the game myself on Friday and I will update live from The Grange....however, it wont be hugely detailed or particularly regular, but I'll do my best.

Please keep us in touch as much as you can. We will be waiting for update. Thank you in advance.

[mahbubH]

10 minutes to go.

[AsifTheManRahman]

i believe we have the better chance of winning today. i'd love to watch the scotties get whitewashed before we go on to face the big guns.

btw, are we playing the usa before the champions trophy as well?

It was reported in BD newspapers sometime ago but no update so far.

[bourny3]

I hope so. Are USA in the champions trophy if they are that is a joke.

[chinaman]

Yeah, we'll play United States and United Yorkshire Eleven before the Trophy. Don't know the details though.

[mahbubH]

Ahh Ireland cricket seems more active than Scotland cricket!

[PoorFan]

Let see how our bats man do today.
They must click altogether before going to face big guns.
No more collapse and no more excuse today.
Wish their best.

[bourny3]

The game must be covered somewhere. We just need someone who knows. Ahh this is annoying.

You forget that if there were to be live coverage of the Scotland game it would have been the same as that for the Ireland game which worked fine until someone caused it to be withdrawn. Perhaps some are too active!

Now lets enjoy a good match.
