Atg: U.S. in ICC Champions Trophy cricket final

Former Guyana captain and West Indies opening batsman Clayton Lambert clubbed a half-century to help the United States clinch the final spot in September's ICC Champions Trophy in Britain.

The 42-year-old Lambert, who played five Tests and 11 One-day Internationals for West Indies, hit five fours and two sixes in 60 from 49 balls as the American side overhauled Scotland's 206 to win by five wickets in the 48th over.

Holland, Scotland and the United States all tallied six points from three victories out of five matches.

The Americans, however, squeaked through with a superior net run rate.
That's the beauty of being a nation of immigrants; in no sport are we unrepresented. Yah, mon!
