Cheers all round for this famous win, solid and careful early
batting paid off for the charge later by Odoyo and Odumbe
There were some chances put down by Zimbabwe and erratic bowlinf
yielding 19 extras
This win means a lot for the Kenyans as they have defeated their
African neighbours for the first time
We shall bring you the ceremonies soon
Kenya will play India in the semis
Kenyan fans running around the ground
The first time a non test playing nation has gone into the semi
fianls of a world cup

Streak says it was a slow wicket and shots were difficult and our
total was too low
Pays credit to the Kenyans for playing better than Zimbabwe
Tikolo is pleased and we set our targets, he thinks he will trey to
bat better in the smifinal
Regrets there are no sponsors for kenyan cricket but wants to d o
well next and does not really look at the money waiting for
semifinalists
The Man of the Match is Martin Suji
Thats all folk and we hope you enjoyed this game as well as us,
goodbye
