As you may have seen on the news recently, CricketScotland announced a first – Monday 18th August 2008 sees the first time Scotland has played against the full England team in an ICC One-Day International cricket match. The last time Scotland played England was back in the early 19th century.
The game will be held at the Citylets Grange in Stockbridge in Edinburgh, and promises to be a sell-out, with over 6000 spectators expected. Due to the capacity of the ground and the strength of the corporate hospitality market in the city of Edinburgh, The Citylets Grange was chosen as the appropriate venue for the event, a decision made in consultation with CricketScotland’s partners, sponsors and supporters. Tickets will be on sale early next year – a significant number have already been sold to the corporate sector.
Thomas Ashdown, our MD, said that, “A clash between Scotland and England means the build up for the game has already started. Perhaps we will even be able to persuade those not usually interested in cricket to come along for a good day out.”
We look forward to seeing you there!

The cricket season drew to a close this quarter, with a final One Day International match at Citylets Titwood in Glasgow. A rain spattered day saw CricketScotland beaten by India by seven wickets with Scotland posting 203 for nine in 46 overs while India triumphed with 212 for 3.
This game made history as it was the first Scotland match outside of the Cricket World Cup to be televised at screens across the nation and Asian subcontinent. The home team continued to impress as they scored the same against India as they recorded against Pakistan last summer in 4 fewer overs. The sell-out game at the Clydesdale Cricket ground drew a crowd of nearly 3000 spectators and was enjoyed by the large Indian community in Glasgow. Ryan Watson, the captain of the Scottish team reckoned his team scored a “competitive total” against the top-five country and complimented the Indian side on their “class batsmen.” 
Thomas Ashdown, Citylets Managing Director, was delighted to present the Citylets Lifetime Achievement Award to John Gray, secretary for the Shetland Cricket Association in the lunch time break. Thomas announced that Citylets were, “delighted to be involved in sponsoring CricketScotland during this important period of their development.”
