Zimbabwe & South Africa, never ever will have the glory to win a world cup unless they remove quota policy. Talentless players are comming off in both the team, in large numbers as a result loosing matches, particularly Zimbabwe, other nations have lost interest in asking them to tour, which was common in 90s.
Black Empowerment policy has destroyed Zimbabwe Cricket and will also finish off cricket in Africa in future, whereas its completeley opposite in Asian Sub Continent, where associates have improved and surprised ICC both by their intetest, and attraction of crowds into the game.

I CUP 2017, Performances
Ireland beat Scotland
Peter Case 4/52 Murtagh 3/35, Rankin 2/39. It looks Irish team have good fine pace attack with Dockrell & Shimi Singh the spinners.
With now having Test status, it might be the last time, Irish might have featured one final time in this tournament

Ex Zimbo Shane Snater 5/88 guided them the victory
Afganistan won a hard fought battle against UAE and wins I CUP for the second time
Sensational Rashid Khan 5/83 gave Afghans the victory
Like Irish, with Afghans now having Test status, it might be the last time, Afghans featured in this tournament

Some tough competition is going on between recently got full members status, Ireland and Afghanistan.
The 5 match series is 1-1 with three to go. Rashid and Mujib has been superb for Afghans, whereas Rankin, Murtagh and Mcarthy has been among wickets.
For Netherlands Tendo returns with a 65* beating Namibia

ZC will look into the coaching staff after the qualifiers. the words almost sound like a threat if we don't qualify. there is a lot of pressure on a lot of guys here. I think we will qualify

The question is if Zimbabwe does fail to qualify and sacks Streak and or Ntini and or Klusener who do they turn to?TapsC wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 7:14 amhttps://www.dailynews.co.zw/articles/20 ... haya-ntini

ZC is obviously strapped for cash so a high profile overseas coach is not an option so it would likely be a local coach
Hondo’s reign as A Team coach has been poor at best
Robin Brown tried before
Mangongo tried before
Wayne James seemed to do well with the Zim XI that toured Namibia and played Canada
All eyes will be on how Mangongo’s under 19’s go in the World Cup as there are still plenty of people inside ZC who want him to coach the national side again.
I doubt they would turn to him yet due to his poor relationship with most of the playing group stemming from his disastrous first stint in the job.

Qualifying or not qualifying will make or break Zim Cricket. Could be some dire times if we fail to qualify. But if we do, it will be so so sweet.

Re: How the sides shaping up before the World Cup Qualifiers 2018
I simply don't think we're going to qualify.
All the teams seem to be too strong for us to beat. Ireland are Ireland and will always have that grit and arrogance when they play Zimbabwe. Afghanistan have a powerful bowling attack but a weak batting line up, so they may be vulnerable. The dutch have really strengthened up with the return of Ryan Tendo, and Alex Kerveeze soon to come back. The Scottish are a class outfit I think.
It's going to be very tough
