Namibia have had a decent bowling line up for a while. The trouble is strength-in-depth and if one of them gets injured (like Smit was for some time) then the backups are a decent tier poorer. The batting is more troublesome - though in this case good to see the maligned Zane Green provide an important knock.

I don't know anything about this Max Heingo, but looking on t'internet he hails from the same area as Ben Shikongo. Looks very young too.

A sell out crowd of 4,000 at the new Namibia Cricket Ground for this match. All excellent stuff!

UAE just lost to Oman.

UAE made some really strange choices , not bowling out Siddique cost them the game and against Nepal they just gifted the win to them

UAE just lost to Oman.

Low-scoring thriller, meanwhile Nepal score 147 against Qatar which doesn’t look big, but might be if Oman and UAE couldn’t even score at a run a ball

Will do their ranking the world of good, would be fantastic for African cricket if they could nab another spot at the World Cup

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Qatar were pissing it, Lamichhane has come in and taken two wickets to give Nepal a sniff

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Another Nepal game, another thriller, they’re not known as the Cardiac Kids for nothing! UAE probably breathing a sigh of relief, everything is still going according to the form book

 

[krickmam]

Yeah, Namibia have really bowled well today. Their line and length have been spot on totally deserved the upper hand.

Cricket Kenya polls fail to take off after Sports Registrar wields axe

NAIROBI, Kenya, October 19, 2025 - Sports Registrar Rose Wasike cancelled the Cricket Kenya (CK) by-elections for the vice-chairpersons positions, which Get the latest local and international sports updates, football, rugby, athletics, golf, cricket and more

During the special general meeting (SGM), Wasike said the polls could not proceed because the 24 county associations, which were preparing to vote, are illegally in office.

“When I was issuing certificates to county sports associations, I gave them conditions; that you hold elections within 90 days. None of you has held an election. So you are not legally in office; so you cannot come here and make a resolution on behalf of the council,” Wasike said.

She added: “Do we agree that we’ve never had elections? So we agree that you are here, but you cannot make that decision, isn’t it? And we are here. You cannot vote in anybody because you are not in office.”
