you have to remember though that our injury plighted bowlers were rested to allow for recovery.So Ireland won their first game: Ireland 307/7 V Abu Dhabi 282/10.
Good show their by Abu Dhabi... Looks like UAE will be the top contender in 2009 Qualifiers, adding home advantage they will be the team to beat...
Maybe but it could be an indication of good S. A are right now as much as how poor Bangladesh are.Bangladesh could'nt even make 200 in 3 odis against Saf, another poor performance by their batsmen? Is this good news for Ireland?...
Reinhardt Strydom top scored for Ireland, not bad for a ten year old…Ireland beat Essex in Abu Dhabi. Six-wicket chase of 197.
LOL at both the claimed place and time of birth.Reinhardt Strydom top scored for Ireland, not bad for a ten year old…

That for me is the last straw regarding the Indian administrators. They deserve every bad thing that happens to them - I hope there are plenty.Associates' World Cup plans scuppered:

Yup. They've devised possibly the most boring format in the history of mankind (Closely followed by the NHL), in addition to removing the associates. Utterly pathetic decision.That for me is the last straw regarding the Indian administrators. They deserve every bad thing that happens to them - I hope there are plenty.
Dude never take Afghanistan easy... They are the team to watch...Oh, and a scoop today. The Norwegian squad for WCL Division Five has been announced.

Bit less ethnically spread than at the EC a year and a half ago, when a couple of Tamils got in. Norway have also secured the services of Ole "Stan" Mortensen as "reserve coach" (whatever that may mean - apparently not assistant, they're not supposed to have those!) to Ralph Dellor, Norway's v successful coach in the past few years.
Norway are likely to fight with USA for second spot in the group. The Nepalese quickies could have tricky to handle on Jersey pitches, I fear.
I was commenting on Norway's chance to reach the semis. Norway are not in a group with Afghanistan. If they get past the United States, every chance to get knocked out by the Afghanis.Dude never take Afghanistan easy... They are the team to watch...
No idea. Knowing the ICC, probably two days before the tournament.Hey good to see the Norwegian team but wat about the fixtures? When are they coming out?
How is it possible the USA is in with that rabble?Having said that, the groups are determined. Group A: Norway, Germany, Mozambique, Nepal, United States, Vanuatu; Group B: Afghanistan, Bahamas, Botswana, Japan, Singapore, Jersey.
Disqualified from WCL division three due to the internal struggles in the United States cricket establishment.How is it possible the USA is in with that rabble?
It was barely a few years ago they were in the Champions Trophy and there is a hell of a lot of talent there. Especially compared to some of these teams.
ROFLBit like FIFA disqualifying Kenya a couple of years ago and Kenya getting a worse FIFA ranking and thus worse seedings as a result.
I don't think Kenya need FIFA or any one else to help us get a worse ranking. As much as soccer is a sport loved by the majority, we are C**P and always will be. One of the reasons, I would like to see the gvt push development of cricket, a sport Kenyans seem naturally to be good at.ROFL
