Namibia out in front and have beaten Uganda comfortably. Pity about the first round of matches being washed out.

Kenya beat Uganda by 1 run in the Migingo derby. Botswana bowled out for 46 by Namibia.

Washouts galore as Namibia and Kenya sail to the global qualifiers.

Even a touch below strength, Namibia still looked clearly the best team. Christi Viljoen was almost unplayable, wonder if he'll give up on trying to hack in in NZ and focus on his home country. Beast at assosciate level yet his time at Otago hasn't been entirely convincing

He was actually really disappointing when he played the other Division 2 teams in the 50 over stuff a couple of months ago. This is a massive return to form but he was probably only barely keeping his place in the side before this.

A few SA connections with Namibia. I see Pierre de Bruyn has got Albie Morkel to help out.

Actually you are dead right, didn't realise how little impact he had there. Namibian seam bowling stocks look pretty thin though, Jan Frylinck seems handy but apart from that there isn't much to write home about

Yea there are a lot of people asking on the PNG FB page - management has said they'll reveal more when they're back at Port Moresby on the 11th.

my guess is some of them enjoyed the Japanese nightlife a bit too much

saw one of the players' mothers commenting on one of cricket PNG's facebook posts saying she doesn't even know what's happening. crazy

European Championships on Jersey is leading the way.

For those curious - 10 of the PNG U19 lads were arrested for shop lifting, and almost weren't allowed to even leave Japan to begin with.

Germany looking dominant against Norway. Good to see Meschede doing well for them.

 

[cnerd123]

Germany managed to recruit 4 county cricketers apparently. And meanwhile, Rusty Theron has been trying out for USA

Associates raising their talent acquisition game

Ooh, Guernsey-Denmark is getting interesting. Denmark flew to 52-2 chasing 119, but now they're 74-5.

Guernsey fight back and take the win! Denmark finish on 112-9. Would have rather watched that on TV than the Australia-Bangladesh game, tbh.

That's excellent, thanks.

It's a shame only one team from this group progressed. Would have liked to see more of Germany.
