Kenya's form
is slightly down at present as they have not beaten a current Test
playing nation since undoing Bangladesh in the 2003 World Cup, but
maybe they just know when it is important to come to the party. Key
players to look out for in the Kenyan side are Steve Tikolo, a
genuine all-rounder and the Captain; he is the most experienced
player and the man who has often made them competitive with both the
bat and ball. Then there is Collins Obuya, the star batsman of
Kenya's 2003 World Cup Campaign who recently has struggled to live up
to the hype. Peter Ongondo, on the other hand as a right handed
bowler has through sheer graft learned to be naggingly accurate with
even a hint of swing and seam. So give Kenya a Tusker cheer!
Tusker's image
in the UK is greatly enhanced as it boasts a sense of mystique. This,
combined with everyone's love affair with Africa, means discerning
drinkers can enjoy a Tusker whilst helping one of East Africa's
largest employers help the region. Tusker is brewed by East African
Breweries Ltd (awarded "Most Respected Company in East
Africa" for five years running). The company directly employs
over 1,000 people across the region and thousands more indirectly
through their extensive distribution network and on the many
contributing barley farms. Tusker lager commands over 30% of the
Kenyan beer market selling more than 700,000 hectolitres per year.
