Bowled Over
The USA sensationally qualified to face cricket's elite nations in the ICC Champions Trophy later this year by defeating Scotland in Dubai.
They pipped the Scots for overall victory at the Six Nations Challenge by 0.027 on net run rate.
Scotland were bowled out for 206, but the USA reached 208-5 in the 48th over to clinch qualification.
The USA will be in the same Champions Trophy group as Australia and New Zealand in England in September.
It will be the first time they have taken part in a full one-day international
US cricket is run on a regional basis, involving more than 10,000 club players, but they have only four grass wickets in the entire country.
Former West Indies Test batsman Clayton Lambert was the US match-winner, hitting an unbeaten 60 off 49 balls, including two sixes and five fours, and he was well supported by Steve Massiah (42) and Ajaz Ali (34 not out)
The Scotland total was based on an innings of 60 by Gavin Hamilton, who will play county cricket in England for Durham this summer, but they did well to pass 200 after a spell of
4-39 from Javed Nasir.
Five teams finished on six points after the UAE beat Holland by three wickets and Namibia defeated Canada.
Holland were favourites to qualify before the start of the final day and Darron Reekers (85) and Tim de Leede (74) took them to a total of 290.
But Syed Maqsood responded with 93 for the hosts and Asim Saeed hit 55 as they reached 295-7 with five balls remaining.
Namibia posted a modest total of 195-7 in their game, but then bowled out Canada, who lost all five games, for 190 to win by five runs.

Sorry my good man, but you may as well be speaking in greek. I have absolutely no idea what any of that means. I was unaware that the US had any Cricket teams. However, I think it only fair to point out that I wouldn't give a rat's arse if the US became the world champions at Cricket and were praised as the greatest Cricket team the world had ever known. I have no interest in the sport whatsoever.

LOL... well said Doc... that was just the tonic I needed..
I too find cricket less than stimulating, but it seems to be one of the few remaining sports that has a real British feel about it...
