Kenya Cricket going down
Kenya travelled to the World Cup with the lowest expectations of the five Associates after a fairly dismal build-up in which they had shown only glimpses of the form which led them to the 2003 semi-finals and made them, for a time, the leading Associate country. Realistically, their aims were [...]
Zimbabwe thump Kenya by 161 runs to end campaign
Zimbabwe 308 for 6 (Ervine 66, Sibanda 61, Taibu 53, Otieno 2-61) beat Kenya 147 (Odhiambo 44, Price 2-20, Lamb 2-21) by 161 runs. Zimbabwe's spinners completed the job started by their batsmen, sharing seven wickets as Kenya crumbled for 147 in pursuit of 308. This match was the last in the [...]
Australia win easily with 60 runs but Kenya regain pride
Australia's World Cup campaign resumed with an ultimately comfortable 60-run victory against Kenya although Collins Obuya's unbeaten 98 meant the Associate nation took pride out of the contest. An upset was never on the cards but Kenya put in their best performance of the tournament with the [...]
Kenya down the lacklustre legends
Few sides have arrived at a major tournament in such a state of disarray as West Indies did at the 1996 World Cup. Richie Richardson, the captain, was under massive pressure to quit, and consensus was he looked isolated, adrift from a side who no longer believed in him. To add to the team's [...]
Tanmay ‘psyched’ for Australian test
Kenya's fifth match of the tournament is coming up and the side has been a shambles so far, with heavy defeats in all the four games they have played. The latest loss was perhaps the most disheartening as it came against fellow Associate Canada, one of the two encounters Kenya realistically [...]
Kenya’s Mishra enjoys passage to India
New Delhi, March 8 (Reuters): Tanmay Mishra has only faint memories of his family packing their bags and leaving Mumbai for Kenya in the early 1990s but cricket and education ensured the tie with India was never really severed. Mumbai has served a dual purpose for Mishra. In Sachin Tendulkar, [...]
Canada got something finally beating Kenya
Canada won only their second World Cup match in four tournaments, beating Kenya in a low-profile, low-scoring scrap, and walked away from the Feroz Shah Kotlawith with bragging rights. Jimmy Hansra and Ashish Bagai put on 132 - Canada's fifth highest one-day partnership - to steer the chase on [...]
Canada and Kenya aim to get past 150-run mark
While Kenya have been bundled out for scores of 69, 112 and 142, amassing just 323 runs in their three outings, Canada have fared little better. The North Americans have managed 122, 123 and 138 in their matches against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Pakistan respectively. The scores are in sharp [...]
Kenyan skipper plays down rift talk
Colombo, Feb 28 (AFP): Kenyan skipper Jimmy Kamande Monday brushed aside reports of a rift between the players and their West Indian coach Eldine Baptiste, saying such issues crop up only after defeats. Reports coming from Kenyan capital Nairobi said there were divisions within the squad, with [...]
Pakistan beats Kenya by 205 runs
Kenya again appeared totally out of their depth and posed no challenge to Pakistan at Hambantota, Collins Obuya’s death-or-glory 47 being the only highlight for them as Shahid Afridi helped himself to 5 for 16 in a massive 205-run win, Pakistan’s biggest win in World Cups and the eighth [...]
