It’s not often nowadays that countries make their debut in the Bowling World Cup. After all, many, many countries have played at some time or another, in the order of 150! So there can’t be many left to come.

Returning champs

This year we have three players taking part who have won the title before: Aumi Guerra of the Dominican Republic is a double champion having won in 2010 and 2011, Krizziah Lyn Tabora won for the Philippines in 2017 and Australian Sam Cooley won last year.

Day 3. The third block of six is over.

With just six games to go, it’s all hotting up in both sections of the 55th Bowling World Cup in Palembang.

Day 4. We made it to the top 24 cut.

As usual the excitement in the last block of six games came not at the top of the leaderboard but around 24th place. Who would make it? Who would be out?

And then there were eight

All the top 24 players bowled a further eight games to determine who was to go through to the round robin tomorrow.

And then there were four!

What an exciting round robin we were to witness!
