Scots set for Pakistan challenge/ODI match (Merged)

**Scots set for Pakistan challenge **](BBC SPORT | Cricket | Pakistan survive Scotland fright)

One-day international, The Grange: Scotland v Pakistan

Match starts 1045 BST Tuesday and is live on BBC Radio Scotland (810MW) and this website

Scotland play their first one-day international for seven years when Pakistan visit The Grange in Edinburgh on Tuesday for a tour match.
But the Scots must do without Dougie Brown and Navdeep Poonia who have not been released from Warwickshire’s Twenty20 Cup clash at Northants.
And the Scottish Saltires’ overseas pair Corey Richards and Ian Moran are not eligible for the one-dayer.
All 3200 tickets have been sold, with Pakistan set to field a strong team.
Shoaib Akhtar is missing from the Pakistan squad through injury and fellow pace bowler Rana Naved-ul-Hasan will not be risked in Edinburgh.
Pakistan begin a four-Test series with England at Lord’s on 13 July and will also play a Twenty20 match and five one-day internationals.
Yorkshire’s John Blain and Durham’s Kyle Coetzer replace Richards and Moran from the Saltires squad that lost to Leicestershire by 53 runs at the weekend.
Despite the defeat, Gavin Hamilton warmed up with a superb 131 off 128 balls, while Neil MacRae (36) and Neil McCallum (53) also made claims to face Pakistan.
Scotland were beaten by 94 runs when they took on Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup, which were also classed as ODIs.

Scotland (from): Craig Wright, John Blain, Kyle Coetzer, Gavin Hamilton, Paul Hoffmann, Douglas Lockhart, Ross Lyons, Neil MacCallum, Neil MacRae, Dewald Nel, Colin Smith, Ryan Watson, Fraser Watts.
Pakistan (from): Inzamam-ul-Haq, Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Shoaib Malik, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Faisal Iqbal, Kamran Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Sami, Shahid Nazir, Umar Gul, Rana Naved, Mohammad Asif, Danish Kaneria.

Re: Scotland vs. Pakistan ODI 27.06.2006 at the Grange

6.2 Mohammad Asif to Watson, no run, it might just be me, but there is a suspicion that the BBC might have sent one or two people to commentate who do not boast cricket as their first sport on the CV. I have never heard a ball described as a **“bouncy bouncer” **
