Self-belief and mental toughness are what will bring the ICC Intercontinental Cup to Windhoek, according to Namibia national coach Johan Rudolph.

Speaking on Wednesday, the day before the final gets underway at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth, Rudolph said his players had the necessary ammunition to overcome the more fancied Ireland over the five days of the match.

“I honestly believe it’s a 99.9 per cent mental thing now at this stage,” said Rudolph ahead of his side’s final training session before its first ever appearance in the final of the ICC Intercontinental Cup.

Namibia v Ireland – a close call

Namibia celebrates

Namibian cricket faces its biggest test when they take on Ireland in the ICC Intercontinental Cup final starting in Port Elizabeth on Thursday.
Victory will certainly raise the profile of Namibian cricket internationally in a competition that has grown in stature over the past few years.

The Namibian cricket team has improved tremendously over the past few seasons and now stands a great chance to win the cup for the first time in their history. But in Ireland they will face tough opponents, and they will have to be at their best.

Inter Series 2008

Walschmidt Eggs – Team South Africa

Bernd Kroemer takes a look at some of the teams that will participate in this year’s Inter Series Motocross Challenge at the Gallina Race Track on November 8 and 15. In this article he brings a preview of the South African team.

Waldschmidt Eggs will be the patron for the team from South Africa. It is always a major problem to obtain rider-profiles from these chaps, from south of the Orange-river. But for one exception and that is the living legend Geoff Den.
