ENGLAND should never lose to Scotland at cricket – but it happened the last time they met.
If Jos Buttler’s Twenty20 World Cup holders come unstuck in Barbados today, it would be the biggest shock in bilateral sporting combat between two proud nations since Englishman Scott Rider won tossing the caber at the Highland Games four times in six years.
