***Official***World Cup 2011 Qualifiers

Meanwhile, the Dutch move on well, 101-0 off 23.3. Another 50 for Kervezee, and Bukhari still there on 36.

They should not mess up from here, even accounting for the fact they're the Dutch team.

Namibia 79/5. 150 looks a pipe dream, so Kenya have to win.

Is the commentator on CE Kyle McCallans best mate or something?

not sure about best mates, but they would know each other pretty well. He's travelled a lot with the Irish team to various tournaments. Gives a pretty fair view on the game in Ireland from what I've seen.

When 1x Gerrie Snyman is at the crease, I wouldnt be ruling anything out.

he does seem to be having a few technical glitches though. Or the ICC have decided to try Uber-overs as a new variation to the game...

 

[Kweek]

my salutations to Kervezee were merly down the fact that he's having a awesome season and he's barely 19!

Worcs will enjoy his cricket.

Haha, didnt see that.

First boundary now, after 50 deliveries.

I suppose he had to try to defend somewhat, but...

Still only 19, eh? He'll be good. Really good.

doesn't NRR take into account both the runs for and against, hence Kenya would have to lose by x amount as well?

Yep...but if Afghanistan win by enough (those 94 runs again) to lift their net run rate above Kenya's run rate with a 1-run loss, then Kenya can not get better, and must win (or tie.) Clear?

See above. If Nam make less than 149, Kenya need to lose by less than 1 run.

Oh cool. Come on you Micks!

 

[Steulen]

50 for Bukhari. Well done, bowler!

edit - I think I missed the 1-run loss bit in your earlier post

 

[TT Boy]

I wonder if the Afghans know this. They need to bring on their frontline bowlers...

 

[Chemosit]

maths aside though - I would much prefer to qualify with a win rather than by not losing by a certain amount (would still take it though...)

Made 71 last time he tried it.

Why bother with Great Ones and Poles, you've got a big talent.

 

[Chemosit]

Yet again a Kenyan wicket falls just when a batsman gets set

The loss of Kennedy Obuya didnt help the cause.
