Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Kenya has already been eliminated, and this is their final match.
Bermuda still has an outside shot if they can win this match.

Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Lunch break on Day 1, and so far it's all Kenya.

Bermuda won the toss and chose to bat, but wickets have fallen fairly regularly.
Bermuda is 50-5 after 18 overs.
Odoyo has taken 3 ickets so far. Hemp made his big debut for Bermuda and was out after scoring only 3 runs.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Bermuda all out for 131 after 59 overs.

Odoyo took 5 wickets and allowed only 21 runs in his 11 overs.
Varaiya was even more economical, allowing 15 runs in 14 overs, and taking 2 wickets.

So barring a huge collapse from Kenya, they ought to be able to get the 6 first innings points pretty easily.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

End of Day 1, Kenya 119/3 after 36 overs. Tikolo is the top scorer on 45 so far.

They only trail by 12 runs, so they'll easily get the 6 points for leading after the first innings. If they bat well enough tomorrow, they might have a chance to bowl Bermuda out and not have to bat a second time. After this start, I'm sure anything less than a full victory for Kenya would be a disappointment for them.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

I'm disappointed in Bermuda :( , they are playing this game like it's an ODI not a 4 day game. Haven't they forgotten that patience at the crease is paramount? They need to get it together in the remaining days. The Bermuda public is watching them very carefully in light of the huge financial compensation they have received lately.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Would a setback in the Intercontinental Cup hurt them that much? It was always going to take a lot for them to get out of this group, especially after the loss to Canada. I think they have a much better chance at impressing in a few of the ODI's over the next month or so.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

i'm not going to read to much into this 4 day game....... yes it would be nice to win n improve in the 4 day game......... but lets remember the world cup is in 1 day format so i think at this stage gettin close to the world cup lets see wat they do in the odi's they have cominn up againest holland, canada, kenya
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

I agree with you both Cleazer and Bermycricket. True the world cup is played in ODI's, but the 4 day game is also important in that it test their fitness level as well. We know how they can perform in the ODI, but they have to step up their game in the 4 day game as well, they forget it's a whole different strategy and aproach to the 4 day versus the ODi game.

Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Looks like Mooky(Mukeddem) is the top bowler so far. Well done Mooky.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Mukuddem and Ryan Steede worked in tandem to reduce the Kenyans to 205 all out - a lead of just 72 runs.

Tea is currently being taken in the Kenyan capital, with Bermuda set to begin their second innings.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Bermuda has started their 2nd innings. They are now 12/0. They have to make up a deficit of 72 runs. I'm hoping their second innings would be played much better, staying at the crease longer and exercising patience.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Varaiya got Outerbridge and night-watchman Leverock in the same over.
Bermuda is 19/2 at the end of Day 2, after 16.3 overs.

Nineteen runs in sixteen and a half overs. Now that's a slow batting rate. Kwame Tucker, an opener, has scored 3 runs in 16.3 overs.

At least Bermuda had a bright spot from Mukuddem and Steede. Good stuff from the two of them.

Bermuda has a lot of work to do if they want to avoid a loss in this match.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Looks like todays match has been cancelled due to heavy rains which is forcast to last all day.
The rain saved them, as they finished the days play with 19/2 not a good start in 2nd innings.
They will not advance to the final even if they beat Kenya, so they will be playing the remainder of the match for pride more or less and prepare themselves for the ODI matches ahead.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

One day left to get a result, eh? Well, I suppose Kenya could win if they bowl Bermuda out quickly, for something like 59 overs again.

Hopefully the rain won't affect the ODI's too much.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

Looks like the start of Day 4 has been delayed due to overnight rain.
Apparently there is a chance that play will start soon, but with each minute lost, the chance for a result slips further and further away.
 
Re: Kenya v Bermuda, Intercontinental Cup Nov 5-8

The final day at the Nairobi Gymkhana was abandoned after an inspection by the umpires at 1pm. Although the rain stopped, the ground was saturated and it was apparent that there was little chance of play.

The match has now been declared a draw. ----Islandstats.com

Well there you have it, a draw. I guess now they will concentrate on their ODI's and their remaining Intercontinental Cup game with Holland.
