The Wheel is Forever
What in the world is going on with Kenya. After 2003 WC, I seriously thought they'd be close to Test status in the next ten years.

Reckon Kamande should bat at 3, started his career there.

no. he is far better suited where he is, perhaps a place higher.
The #3 spot should be filled by Obanda. He was going fine there till they tried him as opener and since then he has gone to the dogs. If he was in a test nation I'd say he needs a stint at FC level, but Kenya doesn't have that luxury. bottom line, he needs to spend a LOT of time with a decent batting coach.

Can you politely give your views on Peter Kirsten? Something is seriously wrong with their batting. Ravi Shah and Mishra werent this big of a difference....were they?

After today, the table will be crammed with only Ireland assured of qualification. It looks likely that in the other 3 matches, the team lowest in the table will win.

Friday will be hell, for all of us bar Uppercut.

:cool:

I really wish this series had been televised. It's been thoroughly entertaining.

Oh, if we qualify today all our best players go back to their counties. Good news for whoever plays us last. Kenya?

F***. Double standards. RTD could have made the difference today.

I'd reckon Canada would feel pretty safe even if they lose to UAE today. Sure, they can still not qualify but it would take a LOT of matches to go against them.

Politely?
He seems to have achieved turning 3 classy batsmen, namely Obanda, Waters and Tikolo into duds. Top effort. We would have spent better money employing donald ###@$ing duck.

I'm thinking it's a bit short-sighted of Tendo. If the Dutch fail to qualify he'll surely regret it in 2011 when the rest of the cricketing world gathers for a cricketing carnival in the subcontinent.

I think it's mainly the level of the Associates coming closer together. Anyone can beat anyone at the moment.

Actually, with the competitiveness of this comp, the ICC could be well advised to rethink their decision on who does/doesn't get ODI status. One thing this comp has proved is that any top 8 team can pretty much beat any other. Give them all ODI status and create 2 leagues of 10 with promo/relegation.

True but they have to find a way to fit it around the already existing NPCA and CPCA and RVCA club schedules. Being as the season generally follows the Old British cricket season of March to September, they could cajole the provincial leagues to wrap up their leagues by end of May, so that July-September can be used exculsively for the elite leagues

Then wouldnt the best players out of the club comps be picked for the elite leagues?
