First Minister ‘bowled over’ by Cricket Scotland

Nicola Sturgeon and Scotland Cricket team

The First Minister certainly wasn’t ‘stumped’ for words when the Cricket Scotland team visited her ahead of their departure for the 2015 ICC World Cup.

Held in Australia and New Zealand, it’s the first time Scotland has qualified for the tournament since 1996.

The First Minister received a quick lesson on her batting technique, and told Scotland to go and hit the opposition for six!
