ICC world cup qualifiers

[maehara]

Ireland lose to Kenya, but stay top after Canada lose to Netherlands. Ireland and Canada will meet in the final.
Scotland beat UAE to save their ODI status, but miss out on the World Cup thanks to Kenya's win over Ireland.
Afghanistan beat Namibia to claim ODI status - wonder who'll be the first ODI side to tour Kabul?

So:
World Cup qualifiers: Ireland, Canada, Netherland, Kenya
ODI Status: Scotland, Afghanistan
Intercontinental Cup: The above six, plus Namibia and UAE.

(Incidentally: Bermuda and Uganda will also get additional funding from the ICC under the High Performance Programme - Uganda knocking Denmark off the programme - thanks to finishing 9th & 10th. Nul points for Denmark and Oman.)

What I think the results of this tournament show is that there is very little difference between the 8 teams in the super 8 section. There now seems to be quite a gap in standard between the associates and the full members. Which I think highlights the strides ZC have made recently in improving standards in zim cricket.

What this really highlights is that there are 4 tiers. You've got your full members, your associates, your affiliates, and Bermuda.
