20.3 Ng'oche to N McCallum, no run. your scorer has now been engulfed by a swarm of bees

3:14 PM The media tent is now under siege by bees!

add another wicket - all happening here!

 

[chaminda_00]

Scotland five down here. Massive win for whoever gets up. If Namibia or/and Afghans don't win that is pretty much ODI status secured.

 

[alvarez]

Hahaha, lol at that bee attack.

 

[Chemosit]

Uganda seem to fall to pieces defending large totals. Lack of experience or poor captaincy perhaps?

Must bee incensed at the drop in spelling standards.

 

[alvarez]

These are the two big wickets for Kenya.

 

[Chemosit]

Ireland become the first team to qualify for the WC and retain ODI status.
Well deserved I have to say, just wish it were us

 

[Chemosit]

These are the two big wickets for Kenya.

McCallum with double 4s that over. his early wicket is vital. If he gets going, this could be over very quickly

Stander is no mug either.

Namibia v The Netherlands (In Play)
Namibia 258-8 (50.0 overs)
The Netherlands 120-2 (26.0 overs)

RTD taking the match away from Namibia here. Really struggling with their 5th bowler Namibia.

Scotland v Kenya (In Play)
Kenya 178 all out (49.4 overs)
Scotland 73-5 (23.0 overs)

Kenya on top, but Scotland still have some batting in the sheds. Can Stander do it two games in a row.

Afghanistan v Canada (In Play)
Afghanistan 265-8 (50.0 overs)
Canada 112-3 (21.0 overs)

Canada still on top due to run rate and wickets in hand. Though it is probably the closest of all the matches. Afghan going through the 5th bowlers and Canada looking to consolidate now.

Bermuda v Uganda (In Play)
Uganda 352-7 (50.0 overs)
Bermuda 166-1 (24.0 overs)

Kemp leading the way for Bermuda. Uganda really need some wickets and keep the run rate in check. Bermuda's batsmen just need to hang around with Kemp, who really has been a class above.

Denmark v Oman (11-12th Place)
Denmark 220 (48.2 overs, M Pedersen 72, Hemal Mehta 5-29)
Oman 139-4 (28 overs, Awal Khan 59*, Adnan Ilyas 39*)

Oman doing what Oman does, having a slog. If Denmark can get some wickets through should run through. Been a very disappointing tournment for Denmark and it looks like their lack of matches with Holland, Scotland and Ireland now they have/had ODI status hurting their development.

So agreed 8 is the qualifying point for the world cup,safer if 10 points tho.

 

[Chemosit]

scares the hell out of me to see Odhiambo bowling when we are trying to defend a small score (well anything less than 300 really). Why has Kamande not had more overs?!?

 

[alvarez]

Huge wicket.

maybe because he is capable of getting batsmen out...

HUGE wicket for Kenya with McCallum gone!

Due to NRR Nambia, Afghan and UAE can't over take Ireland or Canada (if they win). They are effectively three wins ahead of those side. Though Kenya, Scotland, Holland and Canada can still jump ahead of Ireland. However whoever loses between Kenya and Scotland will probably have their NRR ****ed.

True that. Kenya's bowlers winning the match on their own

 

[alvarez]

I'd be giving Odoyo two overs right now.

 

[chaminda_00]

Kervezee out for Holland and Namibia have bowled 10 overs from their 5th bowlers. So pretty much their main four left. Need RTD quick here though to have a chance.

EDIT: Or maybe they will just run through the rest. Zuiderent gone and four down.

 

[Chemosit]

Zuiderent gone too - fighting stuff from Namibia.
