Non Test Playing Nations!!!

You would think Namibia should win Div 2 comfortably, although they've struggled a bit in the SAA stuff. They're still streets ahead of Denmark who i think will take second spot

Wats Ur Predictions???

 

[andruid]

I reckon it will be a toss up between Uganda, Denmark and Namibia for the finals. Either of the three could come up trumps

 

[Chemosit]

Namibia
Uganda
Denmark
UAE
Argentina
Oman

Agree with Andruid - any of the top three could win. Namibia on home soil should take the top place though. It should produce some good games.
C'arn the Africans!

 

[laksh_01]

Agreed even My predictions show the same... Hopefully it will be a high scoring contest for all the teams to boost their confidense...

The Africa Cricket Association have confirmed that moves are afoot to resuscitate the Africa Cup. Talks are currently underway with the respective members and the tournament is expected to be back on the calendar as early as next year. If it follows the same format as previously advanced, it will see Kenya take on Uganda, Tanzania, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa A and possibly one or two other qualifiers.

Oooh In wonder if the Kenya v. Zimbabwe matches will be accorded Full ODI status (anothergood opportunity to nick some easy ratings points on the ODI championships and make the Champions trophy for Kenya ) and if any of the sides will have any reservations on touring Zimbabwe.

Can anyone give me the info about past Africa Cups (When, Winners, Where?) or let me know where I can find the info?

Again - if you are going to cut and paste - credit the source please!

I would expect the format to be a round robin competition played in one country. Benoni (SA) was scheduled to host the last one that never went ahead. Nairobi with 3 ODI pitches could also play host.

It is concerning that there do not seem to be many matches against teams on the table lined up. Kenya seem to play plenty of ODIs, but against other Associates not on the ladder. Hopefully this will change next year. 3 ODIs are penciled in vs Ireland in August, but yet to be confirmed.

Box, Bat, Whites, Gloves, Shoes.

Do need some pads, surely there would be a club kit.

I am kinda serious though. My mum is from Malta and it would be kinda cool to play in a comp like this.

If I actually played now and not work on weekends and did some training and fitness I am sure I reckon I could get close to the Malta team.
