'We don't deserve what's happened to us'

An iffy lbw decision followed by rain left Scotland so near, yet so far away from achieving their World Cup dream. For an Associate side that beat Afghanistan, tied with Zimbabwe and went toe-to-toe with West Indies, it was a cruel end to their qualifying

Feel absolutely sick for everyone @CricketScotland , players, support staff, administration & supporters. It's all been said before, but this tournament has highlighted (again) so much that is wrong with the management, structure & priorities of world cricket @ICC #notgoodenough

— Craig Wright (@craigwright99) March 21, 2018

.@ICC I think you need to re-address your 'values' below, particularly your final point.

Your actions as a governing body are so misaligned with this it's frightening. pic.twitter.com/yUyu9gTt4c
