Scotland
A few years back Scotland seemed on course to turning into one of Associate cricket's big guns, but since then things have not necessarily progressed as hoped. A combination of funding issues and sketchy availability - who inside the ICC thought the amount of time amateurs or even semi-professionals could take off work was unlimited? - has meant Scotland risk being left adrift, although there are enough glimmers of hope through an active development programme to suggest the future might not be that grim. Second place in the World Cricket League was heartening, as was making the final of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, although the drubbing once there by Afghanistan was less palatable. In the Clydesdale Bank 40 there were two wins against Leicestershire.
