Yes - it was kind of us to not go for the bonus point and let them into the final - do you think we were just taking pity on them and offering them more practise time before the world cup?

[/QUOTE]100% - hold on - didn't they beat us in a one dayer - I know our good pal Donut will probably know the exact date and all, but I am sure they won a match in what ..... 1998-99?

Bringing this back on topic:

Morocco: How Abdur Rahman Bukhatir is building cricket in Morocco from the ground up

In Morocco, the game of cricket was initially connected with the foreign diplomatic communities residing in Rabat, mainly the British and Pakistani community, who used to organise informal practice sessions in the American School and play on football or open grounds.

Slowly, these sessions started to interest and include local Moroccan players as well, which resulted in an enthusiastic local team being able to participate in organised matches.

Although cricket was played in Morocco, most of the players, especially the locals, were not aware of the game, nor were they attending regular formal coaching sessions.

Now, for the last three years, under the initiative, support and goodwill of Mr. Abdur Rahman Bukhatir, the father of cricket in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, and the main promoter of cricket in Morocoo, there has been tremendous effort displayed by different people at different levels to promote cricket and develop the proper structure of this game in the country. As a result of these combined efforts, the Moroccan Cricket Association was created and the game is now played in three different centres - Rabat, Tnagier and Casablanca - Rabat being the main centre.

At present there are eight cricket teams in Morocco, five of which are in Rabat, two in Tangier and one in Casablanca. Each team consists of 25 players and 7-10 officials for the promotion, supervision and administration of the club and also a lot of youngsters who are really interested and keen to learn the game.
