[squiz]

good work by kenya, only lost by 12 runs today and that is a sign of improvment for test, they played well bowling, but havent got the hang of batting as i feel looking at the card they may be trying to play like odis and lost wickets, moreover andrew how come sachin got banned??

o.s i was gone away for a while and now i am trying to get 1000

 

[andrew_nixon]

The reasons why anyone is banned are the sole business of those involve in the ban.

But I think it's pretty obvious anyway.

Kenya drew their latest match in the Carib Beer Cup in an incredibly high scoring game in which Maurice Odumbe became the first Kenyan to score a first-class 200.
