I reckon there actually are no one better. Possibly UAE on a good day.Jungle Jumbo said:Bermuda are poor. Really very poor. At least the new World Cricket League should remove events like this when a few freak performances get teams into the World Cup, where they are nothing like the team of two years ago.
Perhaps. Namibia? Doing alright in the Provincial Championships in South Africa.Samuel_Vimes said:I reckon there actually are no one better. Possibly UAE on a good day.
About 10 times as many runs as he's made in his six previous outings for Bermuda...Perm said:David Hemp is all class, what a marvellous innings.

Match Drawn
Netherlands will be disappointed that they let a couple of tail enders score half centuries but David Hemp is all class, what a marvellous innings. Ryan ten Doeschate deserves a mention aswell, hundreds in both innings aswell as 3 wickets opening the bowling. It seems as if the whole weight of the Netherlands is on him.
And at county level, his performances are roughly level to those of Rikki Clarke...SirBloody Idiot said:Jesus Christ. Following his 6-20, ten Doeschate is 210* from 271.
Rikki Clarke is better, isn't he? Clarke is actually a pretty good county player, even if he's not really international class.Samuel_Vimes said:And at county level, his performances are roughly level to those of Rikki Clarke...
True, but there's not that much in it. Both have bowling averages above 40. Clarke bats a bit better tho. ten Doeschate's FC stats look better because of 690 runs @ 172.50 and 14 wickets @ 20.71 for the Netherlands.FaaipDeOiad said:Rikki Clarke is better, isn't he?

What's with the dissing the Dutch, Hakki? Be glad there's associates out there performing like this.Samuel_Vimes said:True, but there's not that much in it. Both have bowling averages above 40.

Fixed your typo.Steulen said:What's with the dissing the Dutch, Hakki? Be glad there's South Africans out there performing like this.
Point taken. Though of course we're just mimicking our big brothers from the left side of the North Sea.Samuel_Vimes said:Fixed your typo.
I'm just worried about the general level of the teams, that's all. (Though I suppose Canada have themselves to thank after bowling Bhatti for 10 overs. Yes, he's more erratic than Harmy on speed, but he's the only one who has pace to get good batsmen out.)
