Canada for me please !!!

 

[Xuhaib]

Kenya will have too much class for them.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

This is a triangular, right? Bermuda are coming too, and then there's the Kenya v Canada Intercontinental clash scheduled somewhere in here?

 

[chooka_nick]

This sounds like a fantastic series. Three of my favorite minnows! I gotta say I like all of the teams playing, however I'll be going for Canada because they're my unofficial favorites.
Carn Davison!

This was originally going to be a tri series built around Canada's two home Intercontinental cup games. Due to Kenya hosting Bangladesh, the two ODIs between Kenya and Bermuda are now rescheduled for after their I.C match in Nairobi in November.

Dates for Canada vs. Kenya:

July 29th - Aug 1st Canada. Intercontinental Cup

Aug 5th - Canada. ODI.

Aug 6th - Canada. ODI.

Dates for Canada vs. Bermuda:

Aug 12th - 15th Intercontinental Cup

Aug 19th ODI

Aug 21st ODI

Xuhaib - I hope you're right!

I think that Kenya will give us good fight and we will get some practise for the up-coming competitions . Hmmm I dont really expect upsets by Kenya but I wish and pray that they (Kenya) should atleast give us good fight .

 

[FRAZ]

Umar Bhatti , Pubudu and Davison . Sheer class I tell you .

 

[FRAZ]

go canada go davison

Thanx

 

[Chemosit]

My prediction for this tour:

Kenya to win all three matches starting with a big batting performance on the back of a Steve Tikolo century in the Intercontinental Cup.

It will be interesting to see how the respective youngsters go.

Upsets by Kenya?!

 

[FRAZ]

Yeah so !! They (Keneyans) are playing here at our home . I am definately going there to support my team (If they will play at this cricket club in Toronto) .

 

[Chemosit]

Has anyone found any sites that will be keeping live scores of this?

 

[FRAZ]

First thing first ,Cricinfo will be there I guess for the scores and secondly why this thread isn't official yet .I almost forgot it . hehe

 

[Chemosit]

Kenya seem to have taken the honours for the morning session restricting Canada to 5/89 at lunch.
Can't yet find out who took the wickets/got the runs.
Still, a very positive start from us

Edited - I gave them 4 less runs than I should

Heh. Tikolo could outscore Canada at this rate.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Heh. Tikolo could outscore Canada at this rate.

Or not. Absolutely woeful batting performance by Kenya - after Qaiser Ali, a Pakistani with one match for Rawalpindi B before moving to Canada, making a first-class high of 91 not out. Then Kenya lost both openers (including the prodigal son, Kennedy Obuya) for ducks, Steve Tikolo scored six runs before departing caught off Umar Bhatti, and nigh****chman Tony Suji made four.

14/4 chasing 235. Against Canada, a team that was roundly routed by Bermuda and Zimbabwe just a couple of months ago...

 

[Steulen]

Is this the Intercontinental Cup tie?

Kenya were pretty bad in that against the Dutch too.
