Beyond The Boundary Blog
I almost feel flattered + ICC hall of fame (02/19/2009)
On the ICC’s centenary celebration website, given the awful name of “Catch the Spirit”, they have a blog, at this link.
In their cricket blogs list, they have a link to this website, not once, but twice. So welcome to any new visitors who have found us from that website.
I’m usually critical of the ICC, but [...]

Nepal have won the ACC Under-17 Elite Cup, beating Malaysia by 10 wickets in yesterday’s final in front of a crowd estimated at 8,000. My full report is here.
WCQ format (02/09/2009)
There’s been a bit of discussion on the format of the WCQ, and I can confirm that the format is as follows:
Round 1: Two groups of six - three matches in each group between the current six ODI nations will be official ODIs. Top four in each group go through to Super 8s, bottom two [...]

Afghanistan and Uganda promoted (02/01/2009)
Afghanistan and Uganda have been promoted from Division Three of the World Cricket League into the World Cup Qualifier, to be played in South Africa in April, after beating the Cayman Islands and Argentina respectively yesterday, passing the net run rate of Papua New Guinea in the process.
Afghanistan can count themselves extremely lucky though. Had [...]
WCL3 Day Five (01/31/2009)
Well rain has spoiled the final day of the group stage, meaning that the play-offs have been abandoned in favour of getting the group stage complete. One match was completed, with PNG beating Hong Kong by nine wickets.
PNG now top the table, and they’ve improved their run rate past Uganda’s, but not past Afghanistan. This [...]
WCL3 Day Four (01/29/2009)
Day four in Buenos Aires saw one of the most exciting cricket matches in some time. Uganda beat Hong Kong by one run in a match that went right down to the last over - Uganda took the last Hong Kong wicket with just two balls to spare.
In the other matches, teams finally won batting [...]
WCL3 Day Three (01/28/2009)
An interesting day in Buenos Aires yesterday. Hong Kong beat the Cayman Islands by 49 runs, though they were hardly convincing, collapsing from 128/0 to 210 all out.
Argentina almost pulled off a win against Afghanistan, losing by 19 runs, whilst Papua New Guinea pulled off something of a surprise by beating Uganda by 26 runs.
All [...]
WCL3 Day Two (01/26/2009)
On day two in Argentina, Uganda thrashed the Caymans by nine wickets and Papua New Guinea recovered from being 127 all out to win by 21 runs against Argentina after Rarua Dikana took the last five wickets to fall, the second consecutive match in which he’s taken five.
Afghanistan meanwhile, were involved in another thriller, this [...]

Day one of WCL Division Three saw PNG thrash the Cayman Islands, winning by six wickets after chasing 122 in 20.5 overs. Hosts Argentina also lost heavily, going down by seven wickets to Hong Kong.
But the game of the day was undoubtedly between Uganda and Afghanistan, with Uganda winning a thriller. Uganda scored 216/8 from [...]
