SCOTLAND WORLD CUP SQUAD 2015 ...
Despite coming away with just two wins on their September tour down under,Scotland turned in some encouraging performances including a nail-biting one-run loss to a virtually World Cup strength New Zealand XI.Scotland's improved depth over the past year was evident in the fact that they nearly chased down New Zealand XI's 263 despite Kyle Coetzer and Preston Mommsen scoring no runs on the day.Aside from that blip, the decision to switch the captaincy from Coetzer to Mommsen has continued to have a positive impact for both players.However, Scotland needs more incisive contributions from their fast bowlers.The last time a Scotland pacer took four or more wickets in an innings in an ODI wasIain Wardlaw's 4 for 43 against Kenya in June 2013.They will struggle to beat their fellow Associates,let alone Full Members,unless big hauls are taken on a more regular basis.
