This is why I raised the question earlier. I think Kenya have been given a message if they bat out the overs they are through.....possibly. Its all too confusing now.

They've managed 9 runs off the last four overs, that must be what they're doing. Might see them having a dart at the end though when they're certain they can last out the 50.

Looks like they are just trying to bat 50 overs out and clinch the WC spot.

Negative tactics for sure - but with all at stake, can you really blame them?

not much point though - at least if they have a go they could a) win in which case NRR does not apply, or b) score enough runs that it doesn't apply anyway.

hate negative cricket

Yes, but if they lose and Namibia win they're buggered.

what are the numbers on this - Namibia had a worse NRR than Kenya going into this match. They are only just going to get home, so their's won't improve much.

Besides you are just as likely to get out playing negatively. at least playing shots and with 6 wickets in hand you give yourself a fighting chance

Namibia will have scored quicker than Kenya to win it, though.

If Namibia win on the last ball Kenya will need 202.

Great time for the site to go down, or what. :dry:

Kenya almost home, didn;t expect them to do it with almost three overs to spare.
