He'd be a valuable asset as the third seamer seems to be the position the Kenyans are struggling with at the moment. Nemi went for 75 off 9 and Bhudia 35 off 4 in that warm up match. It appears all the batsmen chipped in with no one really going on with the job. Still, the side they played was a fairly strong side having done more research.

Also, Ireland got crunched by Zimbabwe A.

Wats going on? Y are these teams loosing so comfortably, they should be in a state of beating Zim & Bangladesh itself inspite loosing to their "A" team? Is there so much gap between the Test & Non Test Playing Nations? Can they ever come up firing? Wen will they be full members in this case. Ireland are gonna play Afghanistan today, should be interesting. No surprise if Afghanistan wins...

Bermuda have lost their opener Chris Douglas with a broken thumb for the whole tournement.

Have not heard anything about the Danes and the Omanis in regards to warm up matches or Uganda for that matter.

Yes. Zim showed just recently against Kenya how great the gulf is and they dicked Ireland easily last year. Although, many of those Zim names from the A side are new to me (Mabuza, Chisoro...).

Netherlands making hard work of beating the WP Amateur XI, currently 105/5 chasing 173. De Grooth and Bukhari at the crease, so still a solid batting couple but if one of them falls it's down to the tail.

M Mahlombe their tormentor, 4/16 off 9 so far. No-one I know in the WPAXI, unless SA Engelbrecht is the same guy who subbed for Kallis in Cape Town last week.

Most of the Denmark squad went home from SA on March 14, having won two and lost one against Eastern Province club opposition. Frederik Klokker (wk), Mickey Lund (ageing lb), Thomas Hansen (veteran lfm), Henrik Saxe Hansen (likewise right-armer), Rizwan Mahmood (young bat), and Rohit Kanaiya (their Ronnie Irani pick) stayed behind to train with Eastern Province.

I guess the rest will land in time for the warm-up with Uganda.

Yeah not a strong WP side. James Kuiper is the nephew of Adrian, the big, hard-hitting former South African international. Moeneeb Abbas or the Ali guy is a Pakistani born cricketer who recently broke some league records in the Cape and Engelbrecht is indeed the guy who recently subbed for Kallis.

Looks like the Dutch are going down as Mahlombe takes his fifth.

Yep, De Grooth run out now for 10. Poor batting effort today, although the bowling looks in good shape. And of course our lord and saviour RTD will arrive soon.

The tail tries to wag, Nijman en Jonkman on a 25-run partnership for the 9th wicket, have reduced the runs needed to 35 with 13.3 overs to go.

Two-run loss...Nijman probably got shocked by van Wyk (7.2-1-30-1) getting a ball near the stumps and was bowled.

Team really needs RTD's 60-ball hundreds.

Pretty close in the end. Time the real thing started. Kenya first up, will be a cracker.
