The Cricket World Cup 2019 is on. Currently watching England Vs South Africa game. Soth Africa won the toss and chose to bowl.

We are at 44 overs into the game(as at 1540hrs EAT) and England has managed 260/5 runs thus far. Cannot wait for the Proteas to start batting. I wager Faf will shred these Englishmen with his aggressive approach to the game..

Teams to watch are England, SA, New Zealand, Windies, India...actually all 10 teams. Hapa ni kimoto. Enjoy

Wacha ni pambane. Cricket is an interesting sport and quite simple. It use to be popular in kenya. Kids in urban areas in the 80's used to call it rounders

the odds don't look favourable for the Proteas

Yeah. Its a shame.The Proteas now have a very steep hill to climb to make it to the playoffs.

Incredible win for Pakistan. They had lost 4-0 ODI series last month to England and I didn't give them a chance. Great victory

Proteas being chewed by India bowlers. Anyway, still early in this game.

Bad weather wrecking havoc. Four matches so far abandoned and looks more to end with no result. What a mess.

India Vs Pakistan match in two hours' time. Match expected to draw a global television audience of one billion people. Hope the weather doesn't mess everything.

Very poor fielding(lazy fielding) by the Windies. The Windies seemed/have always relied on bowling short and fast but it backfired badly with Shakib and Das hitting boundary after boundary and at some point back to back sixes. Great innings for Shakib and Das.

Bangladesh look like a dark horse

True Kenya was at one point ranked higher than Bangladesh but i doubt if corruption is the main reason that "truly" killed the game.(Remember that George Owino - wise of Mathare United was found guilty of match fixing but football in KE is still flourishing).

To me it is all about catchment. Kenya is no longer identifying and building cricket talent.
Currently,as we speak, there is no competitive cricket league in Kenya. Also, kids don't play cricket anymore in their formative years. With our collective greed as a nation there is not even enough space for kids to play bano anymore in schools, residential areas etc. Sport cannot grow without playing spaces in residential areas, schools and even worship areas such as churches and Mosques. In Bangladesh, India, Jamaica, Trinidad, Sri Lanka etc cricket is played everywhere. I once visited Bangladesh and was amazed to see kids(boys and girls) playing cricket everywhere with makeshift bats, wickets, balls etc. Just like we used to make footballs out of juala and makeshift goalposts made of stones and sticks back in the day and play everywhere and anywhere even on our way to school, parking lots, corridors etc

Sasa mnataka tufanye nini jameni

Stop the corruption of building schools on 1/8 acre plots and charging parents an arm and a leg for school fees. Stop the madness of filling-up every open space with ugly storied buildings...etc
