News: Malaysia not second best in ACC U19?

I am jumping the gun, but the 2 semi finals have been decided in the ACC U19. It is Malaysia v Nepal, and Afghanista v UAE. The match ups are courtesy of Afghanistan’s upset victory over Malaysia on the opening day of the tournament.
Now lets say Afghanistan and Nepal make it to the finals, then Malaysia [...]

News: Ireland do the expected…. thrash Bermuda…..

After Netherlands beat Bermuda by an innings, I dont think anyone was expecting any improvements from Bermuda……
I think Bermuda v Namibia, and Bermuda v UAE will be the ones to watch. I am expecting that if the current state of affairs persists, Bermuda is likely to end up at the bottom end of the pile. [...]

News: Netherlands chase down Bermuda inside 20 overs….

Once again, I am a little speechless…….. the same thing happenned all over again……… good Netherlands opening, terrible Bermuda batting, Bermuda outclassed, and Zuiderant failing.

News: Dutch beat Bermuda by 172 runs…..

This is just bad….. I cannot make any comments….. there is a lot of talk about Clay Smith and Saleem Mukaddem missing…….. Clay Smith is quite old now, and may retire, while Mukaddem has already retired…….. so this is what Bermuda is likely to be in the future……… Losses like this to Netherlands coupled with [...]

News: Denmark beat weakened Bermuda…

Actually….. its not Bermuda….. its essentially Bermuda A…….. most of their big players from the world cup were missing, but Kevin O Brien was there, who being their best bowler was still left out from the World Cup squad due to disciplinary issues……
If you think of it as Bermuda A, then Denmark did not do [...]

News: Kenya eat Bermuda for lunch

What a thrashing…… chasing down the total in 18 overs without the loss of a wicket. Bermuda would have wanted such a scorecard against a big test team, not against Kenya. Bermuda is getting more and more hopeless by the day, being unable to stand up, and even be counted against Kenya.
Lets see how the [...]

News: Netherlands scrap past Canada…

A victory by 1 wicket, and that too after the last wicket had to play out of their skin to put on 27 runs, would not do Netherlands proud, but would make the second string Canadian team very happy. As far as I can see it, the 3 people going out from the current Canadian [...]

News: Netherlands thrash Bermuda….

While I would not really have been surprised with this result before this tour, I am a little surprised after Bermuda’s performance in the intercontinental cup. Nothing came good in this match for them, neither their batting nor bowling.
Netherlands perhaps need to rest ten Doeschate in the next game and see whether they are still [...]

News: Hemp !!! Bermuda !!!

Well well….. what a shocker!
David Hemp is 246*, and Bermuda is 619/9!!!!
I think if there was ever a wakeup call for Netherlands about their bowling, it cannot top this……. Stelling is useless, and the 2 spinners, perhaps are too inexperienced, or maybe they just arent good enough, I have never seen the spinners, so I [...]
