Brad Currie has called on Scotland's cricketers to keep the party going at the T20 World Cup, as the national team shares the sporting spotlight with the country's footballers. The Scots have been one of the tournament's surprise packages, with impressive performances against England, Namibia and Oman lifting them to second in Group B alongside Australia.
The Sussex seamer, who missed Scotland's thumping win over Oman with a minor injury, has been trying to get the unofficial Tartan Army anthem 'No Scotland, No Party' onto the team bus playlist. The track, by Prestwick musician Nick Morgan, has become a rallying cry for the national football team ahead of their European Championship campaign starting against Germany on Friday.
Currie praised the travelling fans who have made the costly trip to the Caribbean. 'My parents have done it and it's a lot of money,' he said. 'For them to take time out, whatever their situation back home, we all massively appreciate it.'
Scotland complete their group stage against Australia on Saturday, with a place in the Super 8s still within reach. Currie hopes their World Cup exploits will inspire a new generation of cricketers back home. 'To win World Cup games is a dream,' he said. 'If we can perform like we have and put one more person in the frame for cricket, then we are doing our job.'
