I vaguely remember that member. I can't remember their name, but weren't they a regular member with several thousand posts or something?

Pavel Florin is indeed a hero, and we need more men like him in this world.
However I did expect the standard of cricket in Europe to be a bit higher. Even the expats and the German/Italian/etc national players aren't that great. Lots of work to be done, but pretty cool that they're being showcased all the same. Hopefully this can lead to more funding and development opportunities for them.
I think the poster you're all referring to is Jan. Good poster. I think he's still active on Stumped. Let me drop him a message today and see what he thinks of the ECL.

The quality has been so good that cable TV in Australia is just straight up taking the feed and putting it on their cricket channel now.
EDIT: Broadcast quality that is.

2003 seems like an absolute eternity ago. Makes me sad seeing how things have gone so horribly wrong

So the new WC qualification route is underway in the form of the World Cup League 2
There's basically 3 tiers
Super League (ODI)
League 2 (ODI)
Challenge (List A)
Countries will play within their leagues to determine who makes it to the Play-Offs and then the WC Qualifiers, eventually leading to the WC.
Of course most of this is fruitless because only 10 nations make it to the WC, but hey, at least there's a clear pathway which is not as easily manipulated as the previous one.

The biggest thing to come from this is the 36 ODIs each that teams in League 2 will be playing at a minimum.
