Road to Zimbabwe : ICC Division 2 Qualifiers 2018

[Kriterion_BD]

Once again the fall of Kenya is sad, once a World Cup semi finalist and now ranked 22 in the World and in WCL Division 3

Could they fall lower ?

Remember Bermuda made the 2007 World Cup? Now they arent even in the top 22. USA somehow qualified for the 2004 Champions Trophy and now they are in WCL 3 or 4. Granted they never got higher Div 2, IIRC.

[firebreaker]

Why the fuck Kenya is performing so well today?

Namibia is such a frustrating team to follow. They chose to field first in such a high pressure game and on these pitches its even harder than to chase.

[firebreaker]

Namibia hugely underestimated our team. This match is on the same pitch where UAE defended 159 and rn UAE are 84/2

Namibia now paying for choosing to bowl first.

UAE looks set for 250+ and on this pitch its even difficult to chase 150 forget about 250

Namibia is such a disappointing team. It's even worse than Zimbabwe just when you think they are there, They choke and lose badly. This tournament was tailor-made for them to win. Hosts in these tournaments have a big edge over other teams but still stupidity gets the better off them and now they rot in Div 2.

When UAE got ODI status in 2014, I got really excited because our u19 team played in WC in that same year and thought they would get chances now and we could finally break the stereotype and select young players but alas, Our fucking selectors are hell-bent on getting players from Pak domestic teams etc and the young players leave the game for greener pastures.

Have better luck chasing 248 on a pitch where it takes ages to reach 48
