    First/Group Round - Group A - Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Oman

    Does anyone remember watching the '92 WC? So many dead rubber fixtures towards the end. The next World Cup isn't going to be any shorter time wise either. Because of the broadcast agreement, no matches can overlap so it's still going to be almost 2 months. I'd be happy with 16 teams - 8 in a...

    First/Group Round - Group A - Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Oman

    I guess the difference between rugby, football and cricket world cups is India. There's no single country in rugby or football that has such a detrimental effect on a tournament with an early exit. If the All Blacks were to be eliminated from the RWC in the first round there's enough interested...

    First/Group Round - Group B - Scotland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Hong Kong

    Didn't watch today but what a fantastic result for Afghanistan, such a fairytale story and they deserve everything. Didn't realise their quicks were that quick. Their bats just gotta lean how to not bottle it when they get on top of a full member and they'll be as good as Sri Lanka sooner or later.

    First/Group Round - Group B - Scotland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Hong Kong

    Quite big in London. Cliches aside, I bump into them regularly when I pick up a private taxi. Most are quite knowledgable about cricket too.

    First/Group Round - Group A - Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Oman

    Why not just leave it as it is but let 4 teams qualify.

    I was surprised that it's the boards that foot the bill on international match expenses. I'm guessing this would cover DRS, ground fees, taxes, extra staff.

    Associates are caught in a catch 22. You can't secure funding from sponsors if you've got nothing to offer them and you can't get fixtures unless you've got cash.

    Who would pay for them? England wouldn't give their game against Hong Kong ODI status because they didn't want to pay for it.

    Mishra, Obuya, Varaiya, Aga, Ngoche from this generation. If only they had a half competent board.

    First/Group Round - Group A - Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Oman

    AB was playing Irish domestic cricket just before he was picked for SA. Johan Botha was in the same team iirc. I'm not surprised we lost today. It hurts but it's a good kick up the arse. We're not the Australia of the Associates anymore, the other non test nations have really kicked on since...

    First/Group Round - Group A - Bangladesh, Netherlands, Ireland, Oman

    Said this over in the main forum but thanks to the ICC being a bunch of ****s we lost a golden generation of Associate players because of the lack of fixtures.

    Oman look pretty handy. Bowlers weren't much but the bats look good.

    This is getting awful. Might be enough to win but can't see us beating Bangas or the Dutch.

    Think the 3rd ump just wanted to see the catch again.
