Probably the most BLINDING dress worn on a cricket field. And I am not talking about the Kochi Tuskers's Orange & Purple number. Here is the German cricket team in Orange & Yellow, currently playing in the World Cricket League Division 7 being held in Botswana (Germany, Botswana and cricket.... WOW).
Black, red, gold, to be precise.
ReplyDeleteOur national colours.
Hope this helps :)
PS. Would you be interested in a blogroll link exchange?

Hi Wes

Another european team with non-resident asians!
ReplyDeletePeyush, an increasing number of players in the frame of potential selection was born here. Please don't judge them by the colour of their skin. We are putting a lot of effort into building up structures and nurturing our home-grown talent. It takes time. Not every country is in the lucky position to call cricket their national sport, please consider that. The interest in certain sports is not spread equally across the globe, Indian football fans will probably agree.
ReplyDeleteWe select the best players available, Asian-born or not, that's entirely irrelevant, all of them are eligible and very happy to play for their new home country. These guys enable us to have a fine and proud little team despite the little attention that is paid to cricket over here. Each one of them plays just for the love of the game, they practise hard and take days off work to be able to travel to the international competitions. None of them has a swarm of fans, media, film stars, special coaches or physios around them, yet they play six ODIs in the space of eight days (!). They are highly motivated to play for their country just for the pride and honour. In a way they contribute more to the positive image of our country than most of the natives :)
The German cricket fans are proud of their team and I hope that also the bigger cricket-playing nations welcome this positive development, even if the steps we take are naturally smaller.
Cheers,
Wes
