1.5 Eaglestone to M Ouma, FOUR Pulled easily through mid-wicket

1.5 Eaglestone to M Ouma, WIDE Down leg side
1.4 Eaglestone to M Ouma, no run. Mistimed cut

Glad to see he didn't want to let us get behind the RRR - very generous!

namibia 2 down already

Can anyone work out what kind of score puts Afghanistan above Namibia on NRR?

 

[Chemosit]

early wicket for the Scots

 

[albo97056]

If they win they go above namibia anyway... they are both level on points atm

tight bowling by the Irish.

Oh yeah... it's NRR against Kenya or Holland if they lose (UAE have a much worse NRR and are effectively out of the running).

Not as tight as Kenya's was at the same time.

 

[Chemosit]

Ouma out - bowled twice in the same over
Once again work for the "batting" coach.

Edit: though the commentary suggests lbw, not bowled. doesn't make me any happier mind you

CricketEurope commentary:
2:11 PM That's a good shout

well, it would be, he was bowled?!

Ouma has got to be one of the most frustrating cricketers around. From the vid highlights i've seen he looks extremely talented.

Obanda's last chance tto save a poor tournament.

Namibia three down. No ODI status there

he is - his nickname tells why he has not been more successful.

Another wicket for Afghanistan - they are beginning to look very good for ODI status...

 

[Chemosit]

Dutch are looking very comfortable - I wonder if they will really put the foot down and go for that 2nd position on the table...

Come on Afghanistan... that would be great.

They'd need 148 in 9.4 overs for that.

(Don't tell them)

Wondering where they'd play home matches, though.

Yep, obviously a problem. But I don't think they'd be complaining about not playing in Afghanistan, so I'm sure something could be worked out.
