Someone called Kyle Christie played for Hong Kong today on his List A and ODI debut and conceded 18 runs in one over with 3 no balls. Batted 10, bowled for a duck. HK lost by 14 runs
Googling, it turns out HK have been eyeing up random Australian club cricketers on facebook
Might not be a winning strategy there fellas

So I saw the second ODI and it was fun. Crowds not as large as I would have expected tho. We had a much better turnout for the Scotland game. I left with the scored at 178/7 - Shahid Wasif batted fantastically, Tanwiir hit a massive six, Ehsan Khan was playing a real gritty innings, Anshuman and Nizakat both looked really good but got undone by good deliveries - and I expected us to chase it down, but the lower order -who can all bat, Nadeem opens the batting for his club side- collapsed to leave us just short.
I didn't see Kyle bowl (only really caught the last few overs off the first innings) so can't comment on that, but yea I do find that selection a bit odd. He's been training with the Nat side, people say he's 'the fastest bowler in HK, and had a really bad day today (clearly), but it's not a good look when an Associate side brings in a foreigner straight into the XI over home-grown talent. Especially when its done via FB, and the foreigner plays no domestic cricket, and then proceeds to bowl 1 over for 18 runs and score a duck...

Why they schedule international cricket in Nairobi in November is beyond me

Mommsen has quit international cricket for Scotland and becried their lack of fixtures:
Lack of play stunting Scotland, says Preston Mommsen - BBC Sport
Any way the associates can increase the number of fixtures they play without going through the ICC? Even by playing more friendlies?

Well thats what the HKCA has been doing, with the games vs Scotland and PNG and now touring Australia with the squad to play some of the clubs there.
But you need money to do these things and I guess the Scotland Cricket Board is a bit strapped for cash? HKCA isnt very rich but have been managing to make ends meet somehow. They dont pay the players a ton. Maybe Mommsen can just earn a lot more with his time and energy outside of cricket?

You also need other boards who are happy to host tours or send good teams over on a regular basis. HKCA have Papua New Guinea and Australia, Kenya just need to put a team on a bus and send them across the border to Uganda. Scotland seem to have lost Ireland since Ireland now have a need for rankings points Scotland no longer offer.
