More encouraging than 4th place shows, really.


Our awesome tail (nearly 8k in rating) failed to make the final few runs, which was a shame, but it's encouraging for the WC, with the few other players that will be drafted in.

Solid win in the friendly is encouraging for the World Cup I guess! Nice rating boost as well.

That's soul-destroying. Five wickets lost within 8 runs of the win. :cry:

I feel that was partly my fault; I started watching the game when USA were 66-0 and looking comfortable. To be fair, I did stop following events after the first 2 wickets fell, fearing that I was bringing bad luck to the US. Sorry!

The only positive I can find is that due to Kenya's win, the loss is irrelevant anyway.

Quite disheartening though.. 5 wickets for 2 runs is very bad, considering that was exceptional, expert, outstanding and a couple of rabbits.

Haha, of course. The nat batsmen aren't lower than spectacular. The outstanding is also an Allrounder.
