The Fat Guy will not enjoy Blessing and Richie, I can tell you that for certain. He's a handy player. Whenever u see a fat dude ina side you can bet he can bat.

I was really surprised at how Ssesazi struggled, he usually has a decent technique, must have been the lights.

One the luckiest 20 odds you will see in a while.

Ronak does my head in, massively overweight but he knows how to bat.

We didn't even see their best bat!! (Ali shah).

Cal, are Uganda on paper the third strongest in the qualifier? I don’t even know who else is in it other than Nigeria. St Helena? Central African Republic? :lol:

I’m assuming Uganda are the only potential banana skin for us and Namibia?

That Ssebanja is the weak link, offers a bit of variation with left arm but he is an 'A' team player at best, same with Wabwire, he did nothing in a recent series against Tanzania.

It's a shame we don't get to see Kyewuta and Miyagi, they are their main seamers. Without them they will struggle to challenge Namibia.

Lots of pace bowling options in Uganda though.

I didn’t see much of the second innings. How did Nyamhuri look?

Yeah on paper Uganda are third, then it's Tanzania and Kenya who are on par. Tanzania are really strange, no quality players but they all seem to chip in and are slowly climbing the rankings.

They are in that challenge league play off starting next month, would be great if they get through then there will be 3 African sides in it.

Uganda just missed out on fighting for ODI status last comp, when Miyagi and Kyewuta got injured they lost a couple of key games. Ended up missing out on NRR to Jersey.

He looked really quick at first but then got picked apart and lost his confidence.

Plenty of potential though I think

And yet you were the one who wanted us to send this sort of XI on that South Africa tour :lol: They would have been lambs to slaughter there, as I told you.
