The pain of discipline is nothing like the pain of disappointment
A bloke's bowling at 150kph trying to rip the fingers off your arms or probably even worse. It gets your blood going and the adrenalin pumping. You are in a fight. And to me that's what Test cricket is all about.
I don't know a lot about the Scots, but I'm aware they have beaten some of the English counties in the NCL and have gone close in other matches.
