GORDON DRUMMOND led by example as he batted Scotland's cricketers back from the brink of disaster against Canada.
GORDON DRUMMOND led by example as he batted Scotland's cricketers back from the brink of disaster against Canada.
Deputising for captain Gavin Hamilton, the Carlton all-rounder hit 52 after his side had been reduced to 102-8.
Drummond then claimed two wickets as the Canadians finished the day on 108-7 - trailing the Scots by 77 runs.
"I'm delighted to have done my bit as captain because I'm a great believer that if you are going to be preaching to others then you've got to be able to do it yourself," said Drummond.
"We had spoken before the game about the need to adapt after all the one-day cricket we've been playing, but we were caught on the hop a bit.
"The ball was doing a bit but we still played too many loose shots on a wicket where we had hoped to get 300."
The Scots had to make do with 185 thanks to Drummond's ninth-wicket stand of 83 with Simon Smith (29no).
