I don’t think Kenya is going to reach the same level that they did back in 2003. At least they are not going to reach that level any time soon for sure. The ICC is the only reason why a lot of teams like Kenya have not been able to improve at all.

Basically, in 2003, I believe it was the Srinivasan Pawar mafia in the power of the ICC. Maybe they thought that giving the test status to a country right beside India was going to give them a better market for cricket.

Remember at that time Bangladesh was not a good team. So probably the thought that Bangladesh cannot play well themselves so they are going to watch cricket matches of India. That is going to generate more revenue.

Everything is possible to achieve in this current world with Kenya can achieve their best again but now here they need to work on few things with domestic setup and development of their players is very important, and they never need to rely on ICC because they also need to work on this by themselves as well because now recently we have good changes in this and investment is also coming which is important for the game and countries as well.

If ICC is not going to help them, African countries need to work on few things which surely can bring good development and changes for many countries which are involved in this game, franchise league is surely good way of having good funds and any African league which have a good number of teams can bring good intention and money as well.

Kenya of 2003 was a very strong team. Some of their players, like Steve Tikolo and Maurice Odumbe were as good as any of the full member players. They defeated full members like India and West Indies multiple times. During the 2003 World Cup, they defeated Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the same tournament. At this point, the ICC could have increased fund allocation for them and provided more chances against full members. But after the 2003 World Cup, they never played against a full member nation until the 2007 ODI World Cup. On the other hand, Bangladesh was provided with a lot of support both by the ICC and by the BCCI.

Yes, if Kenya had been consistent since 2003, they would have been a much better team than West Indies or Zimbabwe at the moment because they had the experience of beating big teams. ICC is not doing anything to prioritize any potential team. There are currently 85 countries in the ICC Cricket Ranking list. This situation seems that they are interested in adding more countries to cricket just for quantity. But what they really deserve that is not clear. ICC needs to give special facilities to those who love cricket and those who truly try to develop their cricket.

Kenya was in good position earlier, and the performance have went downwards. The team have played 5 World Cups, and later it had big break. The new team and the new players are once again forming the team better. However the team losing its one off tournaments against Botswana and Uganda is really unexpected. Once again Kenya to play against Botswana tomorrow, and this time Kenya needs to win the match. Cricket is much on Asia and now getting widespread around Africa and other parts of the world is a needed one for now.

The players themselves lost interest in the game as a result of lack of support from the ICC. This is what happened to Kenya. Anyway, to their credit, Kenya has finished at no.2 in the group stage. They won 6 out of the 9 matches to finish with 12 points. But at this point, Uganda seems to be the strongest team from East Africa region. They managed to win 8 out of their 9 matches. The final will be played tomorrow at Gymkhana Club Ground in Nairobi. BTW, many thanks to International League T20. They are the organizers of this event. They sponsored this event, to show their commitment towards global expansion of cricket.

The level of cricket that is being played by different countries compared to 20 years back is much progressive. So, no one will be expecting such a reach from Kenya. The power holders always want to take advantage and this continues forever. We don't know what exactly the power Mafia were thinking, but they were much tricky thinkers and the politics continues forever. ICC have destroyed more teams that have made good progress in the past. Kenya and Zimbabwe can be added to the list.

Rainfall surely makes some changes to the pitch. Everything covered, still the continuity break along with the match favouring a team will have its impact on the next two days. St some point the rain stopped and the covers were removed. However after several inspection of the pitch and the ground, the match for the day is ended. For now it is like Australia have got control of the match due to the losing of England's openers. Lets see what happens on the 4^th day of the match.

England is currently leading by 235 runs. They have three wickets in hand. Right now, the second session of day-4 is going on. If England does not give Australia at least a target of 300. I believe Australia is going to get to the target easily since they will have a whole day and one session to reach the target. But it looks like England will probably not be able to give a target of 300 or more.

As I am writing this, England has lost one more wicket. The lead is now 240. I think the target is going to be somewhere near 250/260 in the end.

Right now England have lost all their wickets and have only one wicket left. England have collected 264 runs in the second season so far on the fourth day. If England could have scored 300 today, they would have been ahead. But it is not possible that England will never score 300 runs in this match they have only one wicket in hand. England will not be able to reach their target in the match if they can score 300 runs today then victory is guaranteed. But at the moment, England's score is 264 runs, 9 wickets in 64 overs. If they can survive the match at the end, it seems that England will give Australia a target of 280 runs.

You both are spamming here, please stop this and give your views on right thread thanks for the understanding, take care next time as well.
