Intercontinental Cup

Netherlands now on 438/8, with the number 10 approaching a half century. The Kenyan bowlers aren't that bad, so it must be a really flat pitch.
 
Netherlands all out for 474. That's a record for the Intercontinental Cup, and ten Doeschate's 158 is the highest first class score by a Dutchman.
 
It might not be as flat as we think. Kenya 135/5 at stumps! Tikolo with yet another 50, Mishra making only 16 (Apparently ten Doeschate can bowl too...) and Modi yet to come in. Odoyo sent in above him.

What does Karia bowl, Cricinfo doesn't tell. And he is yet to come in to bat, and only bowled 6 overs. He isn't the keeper, Ouma is...
 
Steve Tikolo is not out on a mammoth 186 off 306 (:eek:!!) as Kenya are 332/9 on stumps Day 3. Modi is -rather suprisingly- the number XI. Ogondo battled for 132 balls for his 37 and Odoyo 75 for his 17. 1 day to go, this looks like a draw. ten Doeschate took 2 wickets, so it will be a tough contest between him and Tikolo (Who could get the 200 if Modi supports him well) for MOTM.
 
Ahh. I thought they did it deliberately cause he was in bad form.
What a team man :clap
 
hmm can't say im to happy with the way being bowled, and the hole in the covers? Ten Doeschate being a bit of a team man too! one hand is injured badly, and tapped in. COMMON DUTCHIES
 
Well it makes a change from the usual Intercontinental Cup games where no side breaks 150 in either innings.
 
Result for the Kenya v Netherlands game:

Result

Netherlands 1st innings: 474 all out (ten Doeschate 158)
Kenya 1st innings: 367 all out (Tikolo 212 not out)
Netherlands 2nd innings: 200/5

Match Drawn.
Points: Kenya 0, Netherlands 6

Next games in the tournament come in May, when Namibia will play Scotland in Aberdeen, and Ireland in Dublin.
 
I think zims & bangla also needs to be involved in this torney.
 
To give regular cricket to minnows, the best thing would be to involve them into the first class structure in the nearest test nations.

For eg. Nepal & bangladesh should in Indian domestic cricket, Afganistan in Pak, Ireland, Scots, Dutch in English set up, Namibia, Kenya, Zims in SA, US & Canada in WI.

Intercontinetal torney are good, but they need all year cricket to get exposure in higher stds.
 
How does the points system work?

The match was drawn yet Holland got 6 over Kenyas 0.

A drawn game where both teams have completed an innings gives 6 points to the team with the lead on first innings.
