Kenya lose again and suddenly the top of WCLC is looking so wide open. On a related note, It seems that after the Odumbes and Tikolos and Obuyas, team Kenya is becoming the Patels

Good afternoon. What is the weather today in London?

4 matches today ROYAL LONDON ONE-DAY CUP

Do you think you finish playing them completely?

 

[andruid]

Huh?

Another interesting interview with Aasif Karim. Apparently he would prefer if his son ditched Kenya and had a go at making the England test team.

Nice win from Afghanistan. Sets themselves up nicely for the Ireland leg of this tour.

Awesome to see Rahmat get another shot in ODIs and do well with the bat. I remember making posts here a couple of years ago about how good his technique looked in the televised ICup games. He definitely struggled when it came to rotating the strike back then but if he's worked on that he could be a serious, serious player for Afghanistan moving forward, particularly when you add in his leggies.

What do you reckon are the odds of Afghanistan Nicking the Ireland series. They seem to tprepared to bat in UK conditions that your average sub continent team, plus they have a decent pace battery. I reckon it will go all the way to the 5th game

Say no to washouts!

 

[Shady Slim]

so how exactly does the intercontinental cup with the first class matches work in regards to test qualifications, and is it all moot if they pass the motion for the two tier tests?

PEWS - Ireland underdogs. Thoughts?

I think the team at the bottom of tier two have to defend their test status against the winner of the Intercontinental Cup.

When I saw your post I meant to have a closer look at the lineups and reply but I never got around to it. Ireland are near enough to full strength to be favourites at home IMO, worth betting if you're keen.

Hoping Cribb has put me onto a winner there. Probably another Cribb's Tharaka is more likely though. He'll at least look good before he loses.

Shenwari was randomly paying 101.00 for the first ODI before it washed out. Pretty annoyed he didn't even get a chance to lose my money there.

I'm not sure about Rahmat in ODIs but he did well against Scotland, so fingers crossed. He will indeed look good before he gets out; probably lots of dots though.

Haha you'd definitely want to try to implement the 'bet max and cash it out' trick there, when it's as high as 101.00 and it's going to tumble to about 8.00.

Have to admit I'm sometimes pausing the coverage when they show the players waiting to bat these days, seeing if someone unusual might've got a promotion.

howe you are so much better than this ****haus irish commentary
