Kennedy Otieno dropped for Canada tour | Kenya Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Kenya squad: Maurice Ouma (capt & wk), Jimmy Kamande (vice-capt), Alex Obanda, Steve Tikolo, Collins Obuya, Thomas Odoyo, Nehemiah Odhiambo, Lameck Onyango, Peter Ongondo, Hiren Varaiya, Rakep Patel, Elijah Otieno, Seren Waters, David Obuya, Alfred Luseno

Strange that Kenya dropped Kennedy Otieno since he has scored two 50's in his last five odi's.

I hope Afghanistan play respectably against Zimbabwe, a decent performance will prove they might be ready to play superior teams. They've done so well to go from division 5 to having ODI Status in the space of 3 years.

EDIT: Well I'm pleased to see they're putting up a fight. Bowled Zimbabwe XI out for 350 and are now on 358/7

Congrats to Afghanistan! Getting a draw against Zimbabwe and have beaten Holland in a low scoring game.

Yeah it's great stuff, that Noor Ali seems like a top class player.

 

[IanG]

Yeah. Also they gave the Dutch a run for their money in the ODI overnight. Falling 8 runs short in another low scoring game

The Netherlands are being resuced by RTD here, 57* of 102 balls.

Neth 172/5 (43.4 ov, DLS van Bunge 12*, RN ten Doeschate 59*, Nowroz Mangal 2/17) | Live Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Surprised he's playing for them tbh.

 

[TheGreemSim]

It's really tight at the moment, provided Mohammad Shahzad doesn't go out Afghanistan can pull it off. I know it's only Holland but an innings like that is pretty impressive for an 18 year old at internantional level.

 

[Howsie]

^Yea it is. That's why I'm hopefull for Afghan cricket. There team is pretty young and they atleast have a future, unlike some associate teams.

It's good too see them doing well and every win is a step in the right direction.

 

[TheGreemSim]

Shame about their U19 team though

 

[drainpipe32]

Kenya bowled out for 91 in their first innings against Scotland

Only two people got to double figures.

 

[Mercules]

Not going so well for Ireland this year, losing to Afghanistan probably won't help their Test chances.

 

[drainpipe32]

I reckon their a long way off test status anyway.

It's a pity Afghanistan didn't make the World Cup.

 

[ajdude]

How amazing is Ten Doeschate, 212* and then a five-fer. Legendary. Afghanistan not going too well at the moment, need 396 to win. :\

 

[drainpipe32]

Ten Doeschate-in-his-pants?
