TBH I'd rather these games have full ODI status, just as games between members of FIFA have full international status. Who cares about records outside of Test cricket? Make any games between the top associate sides ODIs, permenantly.And these are all ODIs as well aren't they?
Oh, I see why you're annoyed now. Above rant rendered pointless.

I agree completely, but as you point out in your last sentance Marc's issue was more to do with his work load that any anti-minnow ODI basis.
You are spot on though, IMO. Test cricket is sacred. That is where the 'golden' records exist and the purity of stats are important.
Below that, for ODI status (and 20/20), lets get the other nations playing and the game growing.

Kenya should indeed win this at home.
Canada I think are not at the same level as the other two and will really feel out of place in the Mombasa conditions given they only arrived a day ago. The 2 Kenyan spinners also feasten on them in Toronto and this should be even more suited to the slow art.
I am perplexed that on a pitch that traditionally favours spin, Scotland have opted for only 1 spinner in the first game. Maybe the recent bad weather has changed the character of the pitch, but I suspect this could be a decision the Scots regret.
for those wanting to follow events as they unfold, cricket Europe should be carrying the live scores.

Erm. Wow. Kenya have just made 328 for five.
Maurice Ouma lbw b Blain 12 (16b, 3x4)
David Obuya c Smith b Lyons 73 (74b, 10x4, 2x6)
Ravinder (sp?) Shah c Watson b Hoffmann 54 (53b, 10x4)
Steve Tikolo c Blain b Wright 10 (6b)
Tanmay Mishra b Hoffmann 66 (60b, 5x4, 1x6)
Collins Obuya not out 64 (62b, 5 or 6x4, 1x6)
Thomas Odoyo not out 46 (26b, 1x6)
Extras 12
Hoffmann 2/45 (10), Blain 1/65 (8), Brown 0/63 (10), Wright 1/55 (9), Lyons 1/73 (10), Watson 0/21 (3). The spinner didn't really help much.
Ongondo has also bowled Warwickshire's youngster Poonia for a duck with the ninth ball of the match. Looks like a rout.

Good to see Ravi Shah back among the runs again - he was probably the second best batsman outside of the Test world before he got injured. Tanmay Mishra has been putting in some promising performances of late as well.
