The players are not strong either. When you see Caribbean players you see that they are strong and can clear boundary with ease but these Nigerian cricketers don't have the physique for cricket even though most of them are really young.

That's because most of HK players are either educated or homegrown so they have some kind of loyalty to the country. The case is different for UAE and Oman. Most of the players moved there in order to live a better life and play cricket as time pass.

Played against Jeremy Gordon in school cricket. The freaking dude was quick af.

Thought he was a better pacer than Brendan Bess...somehow Bess went on to play test cricket.

He bowls like a proper Caribbean pacer should, even with age and injuries he's still a far nastier proposition than most at this level. Shame he didn't get more opportunities in the Guyana setup

RtD bowled for 1, NL not doing too great at 58/4. Pity we didn't score more else they'd have been in serious trouble.

Fairly comfortable in the end. Ackermann and van der Merwe far too experienced to slip up against our boys.

One thing is for sure that these expat filled teams cant play against genuine pace. TvD and Meekeren too quick for these tape ball playing idiots and on the other hand UAE got hammered by Jersey. This UAE team is really upto something big. They shouldn't be allowed to play in WT20
