***Official***World Cup 2011 Qualifiers

[Kweek]

Prediction time! First round of matches tomorrow:



Kenya vs. The Netherlands:
Kenya: home bias and that they are in more 'familiar condition

wouldnt be so sure, theyve spent a month in cape town, and at least half the squad has spend seasons(now and in the past) in south african amateur leagues or the oranje academy (not sure if that is still around)

OK, I'll volunteer to run a prediction comp. Just predicting match winners, like everyone has done above, with 1 point per correct winner. Very simple.

Spread the word, folks!

If you've made your predictions above, you're in. I'll give a ranking after each round. If I start to get sloppy and neglecting things, give me a firm nudge. But we should be good as I will follow this tournament closely.

Before the tournament starts, gotta an interesting question:

Who among these nations do u think will be playing their last Cricket World Cup Qualifiers? (By becoming the Test Nation, if u think they will)

Sweet. In tomorrow's matches i'm taking Ireland to get the better of Scotland and the Netherlands to cause an upset against Kenya. That should keep us both happy.

Taking Bermuda, Canada, Denmark and Namibia in the others.

Not too long now. Good to hear Obanda should be fine to play for Kenya.
