The crowds at the ground were mailnly expatriates. At the final they were mostly Afghans. Some Kuwaitis do play the game. But there has never been a big following among the locals. Afghanistan play the game with passion and flair. I am predicting that they will be the next entrants to the internatioal fold! Thomas

Good to see that the games attracted crowds. I hope that there were plenty of Kuwaities showing some interest- the Afghanis certainly were!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Martin Williamson
Executive editor Martin Williamson joined the Wisden website in its planning stages in 2001 after failing to make his millions in the internet boom when managing editor of Sportal. Before that he was in charge of Sky Sports Online and helped launch and run Sky News Online. With a preference for all things old (except his wife and children), he has recently confounded colleagues by displaying an uncharacteristic fondness for Twenty20 cricket. His enthusiasm for the game is sadly not matched by his ability, but he remains convinced that he might be a late developer and perseveres in the hope of an England call-up with his middle-order batting and non-spinning offbreaks. He is now managing editor of ESPN EMEA Digital Group as well as his Cricinfo responsibilities.
