*Official* World Cup Qualifiers 2023

[Magrat Garlick]

Considering practically the whole first choice bowling attack is out (see cricaddict's post) that's not too bad signs imo

 

[G. S. Kohli]

SL hits 392 with 2 scores of 100 each & 2 individual hit 60 odd

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Zimbabwe won once again as sikander Raza Shines

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Nepal. Beat oman despite Ayan khans 56 & captain Maqsoods captain knock, Sompal Kami & Lamichhane schared 8 wkts between them.

Bhurtal hits 100 as nepal won by 2 wkts chasing 278

Good that they bowled out that Ireland side with experienced and established batsmen…and the next best thing in international cricket (Tector)…yes hyperbole

Rovman Powell 105 (55 balls) Nicholas Pooran 74 (67 balls)
Westindies 374/9 vs UAE

UAE have been all-out for 211. A huge win for WI.

Really hard to look past WI and Sri Lanka here for those two slots.

We'll find a way to f it up I'm sure. Our bowling is suspect and they insist on playing a whole host of sub-performing all-rounders in Holder, Chase and Shepherd.

Truer words have never been spoken. Jason Holder and Chase don’t fit the modern day ODI mold; at least Shepherd is reliable down the order (7.5/10 times he makes the score he concedes with the ball.)

Pretty silly that WI's warmup was against UAE again right after playing a series against them. I think they need to see other people.

Ireland do seem to love playing the West Indies tbf. I could definitely see them knocking them off but then dropping a game to Zimbabwe or Scotland or something and having WI qualify anyway.

Yes, that will be so Ireland.

Jason Holder has been very mediocre in whiteball cricket for ages but gets picked constantly because of his red ball record. I hope having a specific white ball coach will enable them to look at his performances and realise he is not adding value to the team.

Chase, well I don't think I can say anymore. They keep inventing roles to keep him in the team. If Akheil has a bad couple of games what's the betting we'll see Chase as the specialist finger spinner?

Romario has been better recently, I'll cut him ome slack. Especially as his batting is so destructive.

They are probably showing respect for Holder by choosing him. But respect is not enough to win, especially if winning is so important.

He deserves to be dropped if it's on merit, that's for sure.

Jason Holder should have never played white ball cricket again after that match (SA wearing pink). AB’s carnage.

Interesting article about the associate players staying in County Cricket instead of playing in these games.

Beautiful kits with a beautiful trophy, and some gorgeous animals in the background…

Yannick Cariah was hit in the face in training and broke his nose. Thus Chase is now certain to play. That man cannot be dropped, no matter the circumstances.
