Reekers Strikes To Give Holland Early Breakthrough

Maurice Ouma is the first Kenyan batsman to go, caught Smits, bowled Reekers for 10 from the last over before tea. Just the start Kenya did not need, and only an over after he had hit his first boundary for I don't know how long. Kenya are now 1-28 after 8 overs, but effectively 2 down, as Modi will not really be able to bat, and batting reserves are not allowed. Kenya in a World of trouble. Patel is currently on 12. Ouma I feel needs to go back to practicing the basics. Allowing himself to be out justbefore a break is a major mistake in this form of the game. Kenya need to survive the last session today without any further loss of wickets, then bat through tomorrow to regain some pride. Holland will be bursting with confidence after their record breaking total, and early breakthrough. It is going to be a very tough ask for the Kenyan batsmen, and they will have to apply full concentration to stave off further disaster.

Why oh why did Tony Suji come in at one drop? What is going on with the Kenyan Team? Some of the moves made by Steve really baffle me!

Toni Suji at first drop in this form of the game doesn't worry me nearly as much as in ODIs. His temperment is suited to longer innings, and he has at least proved himself capable with his century last year against Bermuda. I would say Steve will probably be next, then it should be Mishra. We'll see...

well is stated as Steven then Thomas then Collins then Tanmay and i wouldnt bet agaisnt that happening. Even the bowling changes in the morning were shambolic. Karia got one more over. Steve needs to be told hes not bigger then the game!
