Kenyan flag on ICC

The official website of the 2007 Cricket World Cup was launched this week. Kenya is in Group C with New Zealand, England and Canada. Group C will be based at Saint Lucia. The website is very good except for one thing.

The proper Kenyan flag looks like this:

Have recently taken up the hobby of letter writing (yes yes I know) I sent them a quick email:

Sirs,

Congratulations on a well designed, professional and informative website for the upcoming Cricket World Cup in 2007. A fantastic carnival of cricket seems guaranteed.

As a passionate fan of the Kenya cricket team I look forward to travelling to Saint Lucia to watch Kenya go one better than they did in South Africa and reach the final. A Kenya – West Indies final would be a dream come true.

While looking through your website I noticed an error on the Kenya flag graphic. The Kenyan flag is made up largely of three stripes; black on top, red in the middle, green at the bottom. The Kenyan flag you have on your website has two black stripes (one on the top and one on the bottom) with no green stripe. It would be a shame to let this error go uncorrected and I urge you to ask your webmasters to rectify it.

Good day

I’ll let ya’ll know if they get back to me.

well written , now back to the groupings . I am already having nightmares at the thought of Trescothick ,Pietersen and Giles running wild . we would be better placed in group A with the scots & oranges . not to worry though we have sent Collins O off to australia where he will spend time with shane among other greats and he will be sure to pick up a trick or two

Good on you…I smiled the other day when I was reading a BBC article on “Lake Rudolf.” Hmmm did they perharps mean Lake Turkana??

@maitha our group is a hard. The strongest in the whole tournament. it is gonna be hard! On another note brian lara kept me up last night with a brilliant batting display. 202 not out at stumps against autralia and about to be the leading running scorer in the history of test cricket .. class act.

@the centre … i cant believe they are still banging on about lake rudolf.

eish, where are you watching this cricket?? brian lara against the aussies and i havent heard about it??

nice one with the letter..

green has gone to war?

Hey mental…good that u noticed the error, and even better that u took it upon yourself to point it out!

Way to go. Taking up a just cause and seeing it through to completion. It speaks volumes for your character. :)
