So, by not being good enough for USA, you think you'll make a career in England?

Nop,

Because I want to compete amongest the best,and the best place to do is in England,even though competition is also good in usa,

And in usa the ****ing dainty,Doesnt have a good system for selection,

Look who he picked fo ICC trophy bunch of old farts,lost all the games,

Infact if he would have picked a young talented team the results would have been more better.

 

[Kweek]

i doubt that, what you are right about that it wouldve given them expierance, for future tournaments.

 

[James90]

I would love PNG to beat USA. That would be the best thing to come out of this tournament. Along with Bermuda qualifying for the World Cup. I think that's great, disappointing that Denmark couldn't make it considering the position they were in but 5th place isn't out of the question...just unlikely

 

[James90]

Ireland to play Scotland in the final and UAE to play off with Holland for the final WC Place. If Ed Joyce makes himself available I'll tip Ireland to win it all.

 

[Jamee999]

I hope Holland get to the World Cup.

 

[marc71178]

Strange that the Holland-UAE game is far more important than the series final!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well I'm going Dutch!

The future's bright.....(sorry, I can't quite bring myself to type the rest of that)

when's the final? Ed Joyce is playing a CC game for Middlesex at the moment, i don't think he's available

It is not entirely impossible that the future is indeed orange. Netherlands 155/4 after 36 overs, with Zuiderent and ten Doeschate at the crease. A nice 250+ total should give the bowlers something to work with, but this again has the makings of a close call.

Holland are struggling in the WC Quailfying Final, 4/152 (35), but Zuiderent is 54 not out, Holland need to step it up if they want to quailfy. It would be nice to see another Asian side in the World Cup, but i think Holland have more chance of being competitive and they also produce their own players. Mind you the highest scorre UAE have got in this tournment is 230 odd and the rest have been around 200 or less.

184-4 - beginning to look good for the lads from, er........
the um, er, ......
mmmmmmmmm.......
oh wow, man. Look - green.

 

[marc71178]

200-4 with 8 to go.

250+ from here you'd think.

 

[chaminda_00]

Zuiderent and Ten Doeschate seemed to have stepped on the gas, 232 off 44 overs, Zuiderent is 92 not out.

250+ from here you'd think.

might even get puff puff past that.

(which idiot said I'm not funny? Come on, these are quality dope gags here - what you'd expect from a quality dope).

Hang about.

I am so slow.

Meanwhile, Zuiderent finishes on 116*, Ten Doeschate 65* and the Dutch post a healthy total of 287/4.

To quote an apocryphal Lennon/McCartney text: "Get back you ****'s, get back to where you belong".

...

Now before we start some silly flame war, it's just a totally acceptable barb at the ..uhmm.. indigenous nature of the UAE team, m'kay?

 

[chaminda_00]

i would be very surprised if UAE can get this total, so it looks like the dutch are going to the world cup

 

[luckyeddie]

I reckon the mouse that lives in the windmill in Old Amsterdam is putting the water into the bong already..

 

[Steulen]

Good start by the Dutch, UAE 55/3 off 12 overs. Schiferli again doing most of the damage, he's having a good Trophy. Two catches to Zuiderent make him the prime MotM candidate if he wasn't already.

Baz is the hero of Holland once again. Go Baz! he shouldn't have been released by Sussex.

Holland deserve the funding and the status far more than the sheikh-sponsored UAE.
