ALL ABOARD THE SCOTLAND HYPE TRAIN!

CHOO CHOO
Well one of them is a team with their key players getting too old and not giving a poo poo any more, an inexperienced captain who's not performing and who are run by buffoons who've alienated and driven away their best talent, have no idea what the best 11 is and care far more about money and image than about winning. The other team is... wait a minute...

This is only fair when the country isn't the highest level of the sport. If it were a club game like T20 I'd agree. In football/soccer the best earn their dough and achieve the most while playing for an elite club, and then go home for representative games. For tests and ODIs the national teams are the main event and you have to belong to a full member nation to be on the main stage.

Why should sport be fair? You play for your country. If your country is poo poo, you play for your poo poo country.
