PACE bowler Geoff Allott became the cricket World Cup’s leading wicket-taker in Edinburgh on Monday as New Zealand dismissed Scotland for 121 to give themselves a chance of reaching the second round. New Zealand need to overhaul the total inside 20 overs – a rate of 6,10 per over – to overtake group B rivals West Indies and reach the Super Sixes. Left-armer Allott put on a fine exhibition of bowling, finishing with figures of three for 15 giving him 15 for the tournament, two more than South Africa’s Lance Klusener 13. Chris Harris picked up four lower-order wickets for seven off 3,1 overs as the Scots were bowled out in 42,1 overs.
