I Was There: Scotland v West Indies, World Cup Qualifiers, Harare, 2018

I Was There

One year ago, Scotland missed out on the World Cup by five runs

Heartbreak in Harare

'Two critical moments in two critical games have potentially cost us' - Kyle Coetzer

Scotland v West Indies, World Cup qualifier, Super Six, Harare

While Scotland's captain rued his team's bad luck with lbw decisions, West Indies' Jason Holder pointed out that the availability, or otherwise, of the DRS was not under his control

'Two critical moments in two critical games have potentially cost us' - Coetzer

'We don't deserve what's happened to us'

An iffy lbw decision followed by rain left Scotland so near, yet so far away from achieving their World Cup dream. For an Associate side that beat Afghanistan, tied with Zimbabwe and went toe-to-toe with West Indies, it was a cruel end to their qualifying

Relief for West Indies, heartbreak for Scotland

The two-time champions sealed a berth in the 2019 World Cup when rain arrived with Scotland five runs short of the DLS par score
