Cricket is also not taught in schools. PE focusses on softball instead.

No cricket = almost as good as over here, actually. I only ever got 4 weeks of cricket in PE every year. The rest of the year was spent on football and rugby (league, of course) between Septmber and Easter, followed by hockey or tennis after it.
Probably the only reason we did even 4 weeks was I kept complaining, too.

Actually, with the amount of concentration it takes to cross the road without being killed in Amsterdam, I reckon cricket is perfect for the Dutch.

Looks a very weak seam attack without Suji (surely injured, not dropped?) and Kamande. Big call for Odoyo to take the inevitable 8/9 he'll need to keep Kenya in it.

My call is Holland to edge it

Cricinfo says that he is dropped. Been out of form badly in Bangladesh, but is probably still their best bet after Odoyo with the new ball. Can't see where Kenya are going to get 20 wickets from.

The latest casualties are Billy Stelling, who has back problems, and Bas Zuiderent, who is suffering from a stomach upset.
Seelar departed early too ! family trouble.

What is certain, however, is that 38-year-old Tim de Leede and young off-spinner Muhammad Kashif will make their first-class debuts.


Tim de Leede record international (200 games almost) to make FC debut, funny stuff

young off-spinner Muhammad Kashif will make their first-class debuts.

One Pakistani-sounding spinner out, another in...

What's left, then? de Grooth, van Bunge, de Leede, Reekers, van Troost, Kervezee, ten Doeschate, Schiferli, +Smits, Kashif, Grandia (oh dear...)?

Hup Oranje!

Kashif is a oke spinner, I'd much rather see Raja in, good spinner, can bat, good cricket all around ! and plays for my club, so did kashif, but he went for the money


so did van Bunge, oke given if I had a family and a house , id go for 4k euro a month, but If i lived at home...I wouldnt do it, and stay at the club that made me the cricketer I am, as my club offerd him 8k for 3 months. he went for 12

Mate, I wish I could watch BBC1. Unfortunately I'm a wee bit outside the range of the transmitters...

Kenya have chopped Kennedy Otieno, David Obuya, Jimmy Kamande and Martin Suji from their squad to play Holland, starting Nairobi on Wednesday.

Squad
Steve Tikolo (c), Thomas Odoyo, Maurice Ouma (wk), Brijal Patel, Hitesh Modi, Tony Suji, Tanmay Mishra, Collins Oboya, Ashish Karia, Peter Ongondo, Rajesh Bhudia, Kalpesh Patel, Alfred Luseno.

proabably a good move by Kenya, they have to give these young guys a chance sooner or later, they can't keep just relying on the old guard. It could mean that they may struggle short term, but its probably better long term that guys like Ongondo, Luseno, Obuya etc take more responsibility with the ball and Ouma, Mishra etc take more responsibility with the bat.
