On of the biggest disspointments in International cricket for me was how little support Kenya were given after making the semi finals in 2003 WC. From memory they played 1 one day tri series against test playing nations in the years following and ended up declining badly. If given some real support they could have been a test nation in the same way Ireland and even Afghanistan should be now.

Im pretty sure Kenya's issues had a lot to do with corruption and player strikes.
