Kenya's Clean Sweep
well it's finally happened and the Kenyan Cricket Association has been made accountable for the complete debacle that has happened over there, with the country going in a similar direction to Zimbawean Cricket.
Kenya's plight was not through any indication of racism, however it was just through sheer ineptitude (sp??) of the people running the show. No money to pay players, no money to set up any sort of basic national competion, no money to put into underrage developement. This despite the fact Kenya co-hosted the 2002/03 World Cup, the 2000 ICC Trophy and reach the Semi-Finals of the 2003 WC (surely there would've been some prizemoney for that and some sponsorship deals).
It all came to loggerheads about 3 months ago when leading players abandoned the country to play overseas cause they simply couldn't support themselves and play cricket in Kenya.
With a bit of luck this will see the ICC grant some money into the organisation, get a few of their big names back and set up some sort of FC system because this was a country that had some form of potential about it but now has nothing.
