Actually, they have had Kenya's number on a more regular basis since the late noughties

I don't know if this has anything to do with cricket, but I heard last night that the tourism industry that used to be fairly big in Kenya has moved on to Uganda. Could have something to do with the shift in power between the two nations on-field.

 

[CrikCrak]

Nope.

Meanwhile Jersey 17/2 , 11 overs gone

Unless you are into fashion shows specifically for buxom women, nope.

Italy were doing well against HK today. We were sent in to bat first and struggled all innings. 170/7 in 45.3 overs, and then it rained, and the match has been called off with points shared.

Bermuda must be the only international team to have a section on their website just to chronicle the various disciplinary breaches from players

Bloody wild

Those Bascombe brothers all look like they're part of Pablo Escobar's network of henchmen

So annoyed that there’s no cricket at this year’s SEA games. The 2017 was pretty successful.

The South Asian games had cricket. Pretty successful too.

HK Playing Uganda right now. Uganda have been impressive, winning all 4 games so far. Hope we smash them. They've sent us in to bat first, which isn't our strong suit. Hope Nizakat tons up. He's due a big score

They had stuff like Starcraft and get this - "Underwater Hockey" in there but no room for cricket. smh.

So I have stumbled across some Windhoek club cricket scorecards. My boi JP Kotze made just a casual 156 the other week, most of the other Namibian international batsmen failed though, 4 to Baard, 6 to Erasmus and a duck for Williams

 

[cnerd123]

IDK why we're struggling so much batting first. 36/1 in 15 overs vs Uganda, and we struggled vs Italy. Dunnow if the pitches have become slower or if our top order is just going into their shell too much. Don't fancy defending a low score against this in-form side.

And as I type, we've lost our second wicket.

 

[cnerd123]

we are getting rekt

Hope this is a dog of a pitch and we can defend 180ish

 

[cnerd123]

yea idk if we're even going to get 180 here

wish I could watch to see what is going on.

 

[cnerd123]

This sucks. We did better against Italy. No way we're going to defend whatever we end up with here. Doesn't even look like we'll reach 50 overs. If we do, we're defending just 150. Unless we bowl incredibly, or Uganda panic, they've got this.

Impressive from Uganda TSTL, but our batting really needs work. We're fine chasing but can't seem to set a score. It's a weird problem.
