the three fake-Dutch Aussies would also be a factor.
Given that England play a Commonwealth XI, I'm sure we can cut the Dutch a bit of a slack for trying to be more competitive.

The UAE are not much of a challenge, given their absymal fielding standards and possible loss of a key player, Nasir Aziz, due to chucking claims. Ireland will certianly be a challenge, and a full strength Dutch side, with Ryan ten Doeschate, Tom Cooper, Dirk Nannes and Timm van der Gugten, will be one too. IMO, it could be a three-way race between these three.
I doubt RTD & Nannes will make themselves available, and Tom Cooper might be playing for Australia by then, his form has been very good recently. Still not going to be easy-beats though. :)

Yup.

Our chances depend on who's willing to play for us, really. I can see us having to field a bunch of 'new' players and letting Ireland through.

Just hope we don't select Maruma again. I rate him as a good Logan Cup batsmen, but we might as well just let Ireland win if he's in our XI. It was a relief when he got out during the T20I matches vs Bangladesh & Pakistan.
