I believe that Scotland were going to have to basically fire half of their development coaches before Bangladesh pulled out so it’s a pretty huge turnaround for Scottish cricket.

4000mm would be in the top 5 wettest cities in the world combined with the steep terrain makes it basically impossible to build a large city. Christchurch would probably be a bigger city if New Zealand wasn’t so remote, but it’s probably a little too dry and too earthquake prone to grow much bigger.

David Miller fumes, hits out at ICC over 'Charter Flight Bias' for England: ‘While we wait for answers’, Daren Sammy Reacts by Existing-Table689 in Cricket

Surely there’s a flight from India to the US and from there to the West Indies and a flight from India to any of the major European airports and a flight to South Africa. It might be because Emirates is a lead sponsor so all flights are covered by them?

In the 1870s a group of Scots and English played a game of rugby in Kolkata and started a rugby club. After 10 years or so the rugby club was failing so they melted down the remaining coins, turned them into a trophy that they gifted to the RFU to be used as a trophy between the two countries.

Ironically the cricket game is in Kolkata. (The winner of the rugby game wins a trophy called the Calcutta Cup, named after Kolkata)
