Just thought I'd point your attention to some very good results achieved by The Netherlands last week, including this from Nairobi on Sunday:
Kenya 166ao
The Netherlands 266/7 (De Leede 123, De Grooth 81, Van Bunge 4/18)
The Netherlands beat Kenya by 100 runs. If I'm correct, this should count as an official ODI, as both teams are qualified for the WC2007. Needless to say our friends at CricInfo decided to take no notice whatsoever.
But looking at the bright side, this is a great win for the Dutch. Especially because it looks like they have a good bowling attack in place now. Earlier in the week they had beaten two Southg African provincial teams and also managed to keep Gloucestershire down to 208/7 before going down by 26 runs. Batting has rarely been a problem, and with big-hitting allrounder Ten Doeschate and exciting new talent Kervezee in the team, it appears to have become even better. The future's bright...
