Like security issues in Kenya?

 

[Richard]

Or in Sri Lanka. Or "Zimbabwe".

I saw on the weather channel that there is a tsunami forcasted for the tournament in March.....Martin Crowe has even mentioned that the players will be given the option of not traveling. Stephen Fleming will probably stay home, Hamish Marshall will captain the side.

We have a late contender for the Inzy...!!!!!!!!!

Won't beat mind tbh.

That one might. That's not even English.

 

[Richard]

D'you imagine it might have been deliberate \ ironic, now...?

 

[GIMH]

Yes it is. A typing error has made it incorrect, but it doesn't mean it's not English

I'll have it cut it off if necessary

You legend Oram. What a fantastic attitude. Reminds me of an All Black who actually did exactly that, Red Conway

Unbelievable, that's dedication.

 

[Richard]

Sheeesh, is all I can say to that.

It's only 1 finger, but well... not sure it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make... can't make the call, obviously, I don't know what it is to think you're playing in a World Cup then think you're not... etc.

 

[TT Boy]

Well Waqar did alright with one less finger...

 

[Richard]

That was a fairly-irrelevant little-finger, though... IIRR on his left-hand.

And not having it wasn't his choice, I might add!

 

[legglancer12]

Go Canada !

 

[alternative]

Unbelievable, that's dedication.

I certainly wouldn't do such a thing, but that surely is a brave move.

Events such as these can really spark the team's confidence IMO.

Brave, stupid - one or the other. But Oram was kidding anyway.

I don't think he really meant it.

I think that this group could wind up being very close, especially if the Test teams are arrogant and do not take the Associates seriously.

I had the pleasure of watching the WCL and both Kenya and Canada are much better sides than they were 4 years ago in terms of both preparation and overall technique. Beating either England or New Zealand is still a big ask, but both sides have several potential match-winners rather than just one or two.

If Kenya can beat Canada, I can see them going on to upset either England or New Zealand, despite the current form both Test sides are enjoying.

Regards the perceived old age of the Kenyan squad, they are actually a pretty young team with most players under 30. Expectations are for about 80% of the team to still be around at the next WC.

I am confident this group will produce at least one upset. I am hoping that upset means Kenya go through...
