    Kenya have retrogressed a little bit - we should be better than Ireland considering that we were miles ahead before. In any case despite the tie and loss in all the one day matches, I think Kenya played well. This is a rebuilding phase. Let's the CK leaders resurrect the local league in all it's forms (50 overs, 20 overs and 4 day) so we can build some talent.

    Well done boys! Ireland is a good side and a draw is a good result. If only our corrupt, arguing Sports leaders put youth structures in place, we can prosper with talent in football, cricket, rugby, swimming, volleyball etc - not just athletics
