Canada Vs Singapore, Impala Club, 12 Feb 94

Rain washes away hopes for Canadian cricket win
It hadn't rained in  Nairobi since  Christmas Eve, but  it came
down with a vengeance the last two days, disrupting play in the
20-nation International Cricket Conference championship. Canada
was hit hardest as it was on the verge of defeating Singapore.
Canada scored 159 for eight in its  30 overs and had  Singapore
struggling at 50 for eight.  Toronto's Ingleton Liburd (45) and
Paul  Prashad (41)  were  Canada's  best  batsmen,  while  Tony
Gardener  finished with  a career-best analysis of five wickets
for 12 runs in six overs. Errol Barrow took two for 17.
"It was disappointing.  We  could have  easily won  this game,"
said Dr. Geoff Edwards, manager  of  the Canadian team.  "We're
hoping for better weather when we play Namibia."
