Thinkerman Posted March 13, 2003 Kenya reach semis Kenya came to the World Cup without a major team sponsor but made sure of leaving with at least $500,000 after reaching the semi-finals on Wednesday. Cricket: All the latest from the World Cup WATTS ZAP : Amusing and Entertaining Former captain Maurice Odumbe, who hit the winning runs a shock seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe on Wednesday, was not aware of those figures. Told that each team to reach the semi-finals won $400,000, he responded: "Is that it? "Our manager is currently doing the calculations now. We will come to know about that later. We're just thinking about the games to come." Kenya's individual match earnings have also netted them $50,000 dollars in the first round, for four wins and two losses. They have already made another $60,000 in two Super Six matches, with one game against world champions Australia still to come. Defeat in that match would add another $20,000. The World Cup winners will earn $2 million as well as match winnings, with $800,000 for the runners-up. Kenya's player are professionals but reaching the Super Sixes will assure them of their biggest pay day ever. Their real ambition, however, is to win test status to go with their one-day status. They have beaten test sides Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in the tournament to date Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
