Shoaib hammers the Scots

National League Division Two
Durham 267 for 7 beat Scotland 153 by 114 runs
Scorecard
Back in May Scotland started their inaugural National League
campaign with a victory over Durham, but there was no repeat at
Raeburn Place in Edinburgh as Shoaib Akhtar roared in to demolish
the Scottish upper order. After Durham made a handy 267 in their 45
overs, with Gordon Muchall scoring 87, Scotland had no answer to the
pace of Shoaib, who took four wickets in his first three overs to reduce
the Scots to 6 for 4. Shortly afterwards Rahul Dravid was bowled by Neil
Killeen for 5, and after that they did well to limp to 153. Majid Haq
thumped 55 not out. It was Scotland's fifth consecutive defeat, after their
fine start in the National League.
