Thailand Women getting utterly screwed by the abandonment of the Women's ODI World Cup Qualifiers

Thailand halted by cricket's red tape - Emerging Cricket

Despite winning three of four matches in their Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier campaign, Thailand were denied through ICC rankings.

They were top of the points table, but since they aren't a full member, all their games didn't count as ODIs. The Qualifiers were abandoned, so Bangladesh, Pakistan, West Indies and Ireland all go through directly by virtue of being ranked ODI teams.

Complete nonsense. Japan U19s got screwed over in a similar fashion earlier this year. ICC doing it's best to keep the smaller nations out of the marquee events.

These were counted as ODIs until halfway through the tournament when the ICC changed its mind. You couldn't make it up.

Great win for USA especially as players out, but Ireland are in a very bad place these days.

The batting in last few overs especially horrific.

That sort of thing is exactly why the USA are easily my least favourite assosciate nation, chequebook cricket at its absolute worst

Only player of theirs I like is Hutchy, and he's practically an octogenarian by now anyway

Cricket hipsters don't care about the current USA team, it's all about Bart King, George Patterson and the Philadelphians.

Funny thing is they also paid players from other countries to move to the US and play for them. Their best batsman was English - John Lester.

Yea good win for USA that. Ireland's bench strength needs work, so in a sense series like these are very useful. Might cost them some T20I ranking points, but in the long run they need more games against strong opposition.

Afghanistan vs Netherlands starting today. Should be a one-sided contest in favor of Afghans but hoping for a fight from Netherlands, especially since Afghans are debuting a lot of people in this series.

Rashid Khan and Mujeeb should be too hot to handle for the Dutch IMO.

It is great to see Zimbabwe win one over Srilanka in the ODI series. Surprising that there has been no post, let alone thread here on it. Not sure if I am missing it.

Today is the final match and if Zimbabwe win again, it will be a huge fillip for them. Rooting for them today.

You did miss it, I called on everyone to hail Blessing Muzarabani. Also, Zimbabwe are not an emerging nation. They are a nation with a long and proud history in cricket :)
