A goose egg, bagel, doughnut, or a duck in cricket. Whatever you want to call it, Scotland had a big fat zero next to their name in the wins column for ODIs against Full Members: no wins, 23 losses since the 1999 World Cup.
That dubious record was laid to rest on Thursday.
Scotland didn’t get official ODI credit for laying the smackdown on Sri Lanka in a Champions Trophy warm-up last month, but the hosts came out of that match oozing confidence. It showed against Zimbabwe when Kyle Coetzer chose to bat after winning the toss. Just as he did against Sri Lanka, Coetzer responded with a top-class century to set up a total of 317 for 6 in an eventual 26-run win on DLS Method in Edinburgh.
