Just goes to show that Netherlands is a pretty crap side really. Namibia would beat them any day.

did you not get what i said? the games i used back from 1965 was to show that upsets do happen in cricket...and if teams who lost to Lincolnshires etc beat a test team i think you can call that a upset...now here a whole different point i made saying that the games were from 2000 is that now the associates are surely better then they were in 2000 etc because they are playing more...get it? 2 different points being made.....marc71178 said:

24th February 2003: Kenya beat Sri Lanka is recent to me......17th June 2004: Ireland beat West Indies-had most/(or some how ever you look at it) of the players from the current team...19th October 2001: Kenya beat India....etc upsets did happen with most of the sides i claimed and no not all recent upsets were involved the 2 most recent promotions to the highest level...well it depends what you call recent....marc71178 said:

this has been taken from cricinfo http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/other/content/story/269854.html
The Chinese Cricket Association, headed by Zhang Xiaoning, hopes to have 15,000 cricketers by 2009. Numbers are forecast to rise to 60,000 by 2012 and 150,000 by 2020. So the chinese that never hard of cricket before will have quite enough players in 14 years and countries who already been playing for quite long wont be up to the standards in 10 years? that would mean that which ever country(thats been playing cricket for a while) doesn't, has a pretty crappy development program

The CCA is full of ****. Its going to be very hard for China to get up to international standard if there isn't any grassroots interest in the sport. Right now it would probably be the Hong Kong side(full of expats) plus a couple token players from other places.

Isn't Hong Kong a part of China?
