Ken vs Wi

**Tehsin** · #1 September 17, 2002, 06:46 AM

Tikolo makes a HUGE difference. He takes the team close enough and the rest of them fights on.

WI 261 for 6 (Lara 111, Tikolo 49/2)
Ken 232 all out, 49.1 (Tikolo 93, Collins 18/3)

A very respectable 29 runs loss. Last three wickets fell within ONE run, they could have gone a little bit further.

We need to follow their SPIRIT. JOdi Spirit na thake, khele luv ki ?

I think the SriLankan heat got into the Kenyan bowlers and fielders, hence they dropped catches - kinda like Bangladesh in the 2nd warm up match against England?

Also, the Kenyan pacers gave away a lot of runs - whereas the same pacers bowled really good in home conditions against Pakistan and Australia.

I think we should've included Sumit into the final eleven - but I know that it won't happen - since he is not an all rounder.

Come to think of it, if we expect our number nine or number eight batsman to be all-rounders, then why on earth would our top and middle order batsman i.e., our specialist batsman try to bat properly and responsibly?

Doesn't that mean sending wrong signals to the top 5 batsman?

No matter what we do, it will somehow find a wrong point of view, and send it to the palyers, and surely they will pick it up.
