Lose by 47 runs and lose showerloads of NRR

We beat the league winners England and Bermuda with only 15 players. Not even taking our strongest players to prepare for the world cup. Will eat your words when we win the world cup, 3 years running

lolwut. I don't see how you can be proud of that... How did you even manage to only take 15 in the first place...

We selected 15 and went to discuss the remaining spot but never got around to it

We actually didnt get the lineup done for that match so it gave us the default lineup

Big words from someone who was apart of a Kenyan National team who spent more than 75% of the time as the 18th ranked side. That's embarrassing

tbh i'd rather have a full side and lose coz the team ain't good enough rather than lose coz of not taking enough players. It's obvious which is more avoidable. ;)


Sri Lanka were 2-3 and finished 3rd. Looking forward to the World Cup now, hasn't been the greatest 2 seasons, but all can be resurrected. :D

What does it say about England and Bermuda getting beaten by a fatigued squad. Almost as bad as losing to a bot. Besides we don't worry to much about tours instead focus on world cups which is why we have won the past 2 :P

Well considering you played Bermuda second your squad wouldn't have been fatigued anyway, plus as valk has already mentioned 2 or 3 times we didn't set orders for that match, which you seem to be conveniently ignoring...

Also I'm setting orders for the match against your lot today. Let's see who wins this game when we have orders set ;)

First off I was an assistant, second we barely were ever at 18 and finally, your are managing one of the strongest nations in the game.

Now that is embarrassing.

I dare say you will win cf. The game hasnt liked my batters this week at all.

Q, correction we were one of the strongest teams. In the top ratings for the year for 19's one day we have the 20th highest.

Going into the world cup, Bermuda are the highest ratings

Good Luck Zzz, tuned in to the match. :)

Nah before the last world cup and even the cup before we weren't really strong. With the prices of youth investment going up the teams managing to grow stronger has been Bangladesh and India. With all the forum talk bout more chance of getting a nat we have seen our recruits drop. Plus a lot of newbies recruit our players and can't train them quickly plus managers who can't train properly
