Non Test Playing Nations!!!

Bermuda all out for 210

 

[Efaz]

Uganda beat Bermuda by 43 runs !

Uganda 253 (49.4 overs)
Bermuda 210 (L Cann 73, R Trott 46)

It will be nice to see Namibia and Uganda in the next world cup in places of Bermuda and Canada (although, I think Afghanistan has a distant chance to get ahead of Uganda by 2009).

Hope so... I think Canada should be a good team if they promote Cricket in the nation the rite way.... Anyways good to hear Uganda beatings Bermuda Now there are about 8-10 nations that could challenge each other after Test Nations... This World Cup Qualifiers in 2009 should be the most competition one then the previous... That's a good sign... Hope its shown live all over the world...

Hi guys here are the pics of new Cricket stadium under construction in Florida, USA... Stadium should be ready by next month... Looks Kool is'nt it? Guys U too pls share any new Cricket developments U know as such in this thread...

Not to shabby.

Nah, but the ultimate in contradictory smilies.

What's the point of giving Bermuda games when they're going to field a team with an average age is about 30? These guys aren't going to be around if/when Bermuda get anywhere near international standard.

Malachi Jones and Kyle Hodsoll are each 18 and the openers are 24, but everyone else is over 30 and there are five of them over 34. The ICC is just wasting money by investing in such teams.

Bermuda are never going to be an international-standard team. Never. The population of the entire country is smaller than a Toronto suburb, and Canada can't even get anywhere near ODI status themselves.

 

[andruid]

Well that is what the ICC trophy is for (besides WC qualifiers). To weed out those countries that cant live up to OD status and give a shot to more promising nations. The ICC should implement something similar for test status.How about it Kids?

Who else will play? India, Pakistan & West Indies, there are lot of people out there from these countries... May be even England could slip in...

So here we go friends, today there are Two Intresting Ties:

1st Odi: Kenya Vs Bermuda
Intercontinental Cup: Namibia Vs Canada

Wish Kenya gonna score 300+ that will be a real booster for their confidence & Tie between Namibia & Canada should be intresting as Namibia are having a very good squad... Bermuda all the best, give ur level best...

 

[andruid]

Kenya opted to field first and shot out the Bermudans for 174. Currently 121/2

 

[Athlai]

Bermuda is so dire. Good win for Kenya, taking out the trash.

Kool Man... A.Obanda once again rocking with back to back fifties... Good to see constient performance from him & Kenya... On the other hand Namibia 119/3 (33.0 ov) V Canada...

 

[Athlai]

Obanda looks like a real prospect for Kenya. An eye should be kept on this young man.

 

[Athlai]

Obanda finishes the match on 79* bringing his average up to 97. 194 runs in three games for this young talent.

Obanda finishes the match on 79* bringing his average up to 97. 194 runs in three games for this young talent.

Yup... So here it is Kenya winning quite easily... Good bowling, Wonderful run-rate chasing the target below 30 Overs, Young A.Obanda fireing, Tikolo betted well after quite a long time... So Kenya beating in all departments... Wats called a perfect fininsh... Great Going Kenya, Its time to take on Ireland, Zimbabwe or Bangladesh in order to have few points on the ODI table for the 12th teams too...

 

[laksh_01]

So, the other Match at the corner Namibia struggling a bit on 139/5 (41.0 ov)

 

[Chemosit]

Massive win for Kenya and great to see Obanda translating his talent into runs. Good for him that he began his ODI career against these two teams as it will build his confidence for tougher matches ahead.

With him batting together with Tikolo it was a case of being able to see both the past and the future and it didn't look too bad

 

[laksh_01]

Intercontinental Cup: Great fight back from Namibia at the end of 1st Day's play: Namibia 314/6 - Bjorn Kotze 87* & Tobias Verwey 49* (96.0 ov) V Canada...

 

[andruid]

Indeed very little seems to be working out for the Canadians of late
