World Cricket League underway...

...and it's the same old story: Kenya dominate at home. A ten wicket win over Bermuda was exactly the sort of start the World Cup 2003 semi-finalists would have wanted and the match lasted only 12 overs past lunch.

Yes, Kenya have home advantage, and yes, Bermuda have had little time to acclimatise what with the game being moved but even so this was a thrashing in anyone's book.

For Kenya, it will be proof for some that their loss against Canada last week was a mere blip, although the Canadians are quietly confident of repeating that success. For Bermuda, however, the problems continue as their World Cup preparations are in danger of being derailed.

Tomorrow we see Canada take on the Netherlands in a repeat of the Intercontinental Cup match where Ryan ten Doeschate scored a double hundred, and Ireland play Scotland in an all-Celtic affair.
