***Offical*** Canada in Kenya

[laksh_01]

Hi Guys, Its been a lovely 1st ODI & Intercontinental Games between Canada & Kenya... The way Kenya fought back & the way Canada recovered in the first innings of the first odi made me start this thread... Lets discuss on which is the best team & predict the winner of the 2nd ODI... Seams both teams are evenly balanced... Will Canda Level the series????

Better team for the future

Have you seen the geriatrics being handed their debut's by the canadians?

They Have done a decent Job... But Mulla is the one who has to perform big...

Kandappah is 36 (tho' he did pretty well), Iqbal 33 ... it's always going to be the way for a team which depends on migrants though. Don't suppose cricket is played in many schools.

Looks like it was a good match anyway, Odoyo is certainly taking a liking to Canada's bowlers.

Dont know wats wrong with Tikolo, Would love to see one big knock from him...

 

[laksh_01]

Canada 77-3 after 22 overs; their side is now comprised entirely of players of Asian origin (apart from Osinde, which sounds like an African name). Don't white guys play the game there? Perhaps not. And there's a 28 year old umpire standing, so it's not just policemen who are getting younger it seems.

Hmm So is 189 by Canada enough to ristrict strong Kenyan Batting?

Osinde is from Uganda... But brought up in Canada & played for canadian domestic teams...

 

[andruid]

Actually Osinde picked up cricket In Makerere University in Uganda before moving to Canada

This idea of throwing in a 'pinchhitter' if a wicket falls early, something which Kenya seems to specialise in no matter the format of the game, is really starting to grind my gears.Kenya slip to 37/2 Ouma an Odhiambo the men out, Obanda and David Obuya at the crease.

Andruid got a question for U - Who do u think has to win today if Cricket has to win? Kenya are 71/3 Alex Obanda going good on 32 from 27, here comes Tikolo...

Trevin Bastiampillai 21, Abdul Jabbar 24, Durand Soraine 24, Jason Patraj 26. Im pretty sure all four players have come through the junior ranks for Canada. Its only two really old guys who have made their debut and both have been playing domestic cricket in Canada for quite a few years.

It looks like Canada really struggle to get any of their overseas cricketers back. Pretty all of the semi professional cricketers are missing this game.

I think Kenya should just about knick it but only just. Obanda scoring well and Kenayare 98/4

 

[laksh_01]

So 4 down... Kenya 98/4... Wats it like? 60 Kenya & 40 Canada? A.Obanda still playing good, though slowed down a bit...

I think Kenya should just about knick it but only just. Obanda scoring well and Kenayare 98/4 For cricket to 'win' it would probably be best if we can get good showings from the youngsters in both teams irrespctive of who wins

 

[laksh_01]

SO nice show from both the sides... Nice to see a youngster (A.Obanda) scoring 85 in his second ODI... Hope he continues his form against bermuda too... All the best Kenya for matches against Burmada, it should be a piece of Cake for Kenya.... lets hope bermuda shows fight.... All the best for both Kenya & Burmuda... Canada too having an intresting tie coming against Namibia...
