ICC World Cricket League Division One

[MUFC1987]

I think Kenya being miles ahead is understandable. They'll be playing Tests within 10 years in my view. They've been trying to compete at the top level for a bit longer than the rest.

William Porterfield and Kevin O'Brien savaged kenya today. Porterfield scored 106, O'Brien 142 from 125 balls. Third wicket partnership of 227, 10 short of the record.

What a game by Kenya and another thriller by Scotland! Fantastic stuff, wish this was on TV! This beats international cricket anyday!

This beats international cricket anyday!

This is international cricket! Easily the best ODI tournament for a long time.

This is international cricket! Easily the best ODI tournament for a long time.

Whoops, Lol I meant International cricket involving Test Nations. My bad

Such close results can only be good for the spread of cricket in those countries. Too bad I can't watch.

Awesome performance by Ireland thought they could challenge Kenya just some magic from Odoyo got them home. Gotta feel for O'Brien though making twice the amount of runs of Kenya's highest scorer yet still losing.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Eoin Morgan has scored 115 for Ireland against Canada, becoming the youngest non-sub continent player to score an ODI century, knocking a certain Ricky Ponting from that position.

[aussie1st]

ten Doeschate finally in batting form. That was a shock seeing Kenya lose to Scotland good to see we have such a tight contest. Also shocked seeing Ireland lose thought they would be 3rd favourite.

Ten Doeschate never has a bad match, he really is a superstar.

Canada will never do well since 99% of their players have relatives (or they) migrated from cricket playing nations. Unless they harness their whole polulation then they will continue to be trounced by Kenya and the like.

 

[Leicester Fox]

is there not a way to watch this on t.v over here? couldn't they just put it on interactive or anything? Sky will put internaional bowls on and teleshopping but not this.

 

[andrew_nixon]

There's no TV coverage anywhere sadly. Shame as this has been one of the most exciting ODI tournaments in years.
