Packed with match-winners, when Oman are good, they are very very good. In 2007’s ICC World Cricket League Division 2 they topped the table after the group stage, against some tough opposition. That booked Oman a place in 2009’s ICC World Cup Qualifier where they had every chance of qualifying for the World Cup of 2011. They will look back on their performances in that competition with a feeling that they could have, and should have, done better, lack of preparation on turf being the single-most significant factor which cost them. They are a team of mature, personable individuals who bring much credit to themselves and their country. Their rise has been based on having a team of many all-rounders with a couple of highly capable players in specialist positions, along with superb team spirit. And they almost always come through when they’re in close matches. Oman have all the ingredients for success, including a vigorous national association. Artificial turf wickets have been introduced that simulate grass to better prepare for international competition. Once they have turf facilities on which they can play and practise regularly, they will truly become a cricketing force. Arab Omanis are being encouraged to play in increasing numbers. Oman ended the 2008-2009 season with victory in the ACC Trophy Challenge where they really were a class apart from the others in the competition and were then third in the 2009 ACC Twenty20 Cup. 2010 was a relatively quiet year for the senior team but the U-16s were unbeaten in the ACC Challenge event in July, beating Iran in the Final. |
