DAWKS SINGS SCOTS PRAISES

Owen Dawkins says Scotland can attack next year's World Cup Qualifier with confidence after a strong end to their ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 campaign.

The Scots crushed Canada by 170 runs in their final fixture on Thursday to move top of the table, led by a magnificent century from captain Richie Berrington and six wickets on debut from spinner Lyle Robertson. The four-match series against the Canadians and UAE in reaped seven points from eight, with only a washout in the first UAE fixture preventing a clean sweep. 

With many experienced players such as Berrington and Matthew Cross continuing to show good form, allied to a collection of younger players pushing for selection , the Scotland Head Coach is delighted with the progress made during his first nine months in the job.
