Issue[edit]

@Bs1jac and Lugnuts: Weird. There is almost no coverage about this series anywhere. ICC didn't include this series in their calendar yet and CI didn't create the scorecards. I couldn't find any other sources about this series either. I myself didn't knew about this series until I miss licked a Kuwaiti cricketer. Human (talk) 01:35, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's live now on CI. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, a bit of patience is required for some of these associate tours. Bs1jac (talk) 09:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kuwait squad[edit]

Note that the Kuwaiti squad that I added when creating the article is based on the reference. Most of the names did not match up with players who featured in the 2019 ACC Western Region T20 although I was able to match some up using Cricinfo and Google. I suspect some of the players who are different to the previous tournament may have name variations and so when scorecards are in Cricinfo (not cricclubs or elsewhere) I suspect some of the names will need to be matched up and adjusted. Bs1jac (talk) 13:25, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well with still no official scorecard in CI yet, it does however look like several of Kuwait's players are in fact new and were not involved in their previous series in January. Bs1jac (talk) 15:23, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Debutants[edit]

@Lugnuts: Shouldn't the debutants be listed after the toss has taken place? Human (talk) 16:00, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I add them after the toss has happened, as the game hasn't started until then. Same with player stats, etc. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:06, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bs1jac: You got your answer. Human (talk) 16:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes as stated I read that the toss HAD taken place and that the debut caps were being handed out. May not have been correct info (although I suspect it was, just not being covered well in the main media); no need to run to Lugnuts to ask a question and use his correct comment as an answer in a different context! The 'answer' I got was just another into unnecessary attitude.Bs1jac (talk) 16:15, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bs1jac: Caps can be handed out before the toss can take place. I just asked Lugnuts to confirm the question. No attitude intended. Human (talk) 16:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ok no worries. As far as I read the toss HAD taken place... Yes caps were probably handed out shortly before, but I specifically read that the toss had taken place. Anyway let's enjoy another associate series... always something interesting to learn about these teams. Bs1jac (talk) 16:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS I am sure there will be Qat debuts as well once we can see a scorecard etc. Bs1jac (talk) 16:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The livestream on the Qatar Cricket FB page doesn't show the scores or have commentary unfortunately. Human (talk) 16:43, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Its a bit rubbish isnt it.Bs1jac (talk) 17:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I always find it amazing that CI has a live ticker of matches that don't even have LA/FC status, but a full international isn't updated for the best part of 24 hrs! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:40, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome work from you both on updating this. Next up is the live fixture from the FBI XI against the Russian Mafia in North Korea. Easier to get a live scorecard for that too! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:08, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hilarious! Maybe the MI6 second XI will be taking part in a triangular series.Bs1jac (talk) 09:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the associates need to start inviting these teams... series over yet CI doesnt have updated scorecards yet... Ankurc.17 (talk) 14:54, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage[edit]

@Lugnuts: Not only did it take more than 24 hours for the scorecard to appear, CI only lists 10 players for Kuwait in the third match! Bs1jac (talk) 06:54, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there's excellent coverage on the ICC website. Oh, wait... Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:55, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bs1jac: finally some coverage, from the third best news site in the Middle East! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
