Road to Zimbabwe : ICC Division 2 Qualifiers 2018

[TapsC]

Nepal 63/6. Scholtz 3/11 brought Namibia back into the game here, win for Canada, UAE are also in the course of win against Kenya

Makes sense considering our A team whitewashed Kenya but got whitewashed by the UAE

[CrimsonAvenger]

Wow! What a low scoring nail-biter between the two teams I'm backing to qualify! Nepal getting out of jail and winning in the end. Even rain added additional interest just at the right time too.

Not the worst scenario for Namibia, being the hosts, they should be able to recover from this, while Nepal would have faded away had they lost this.

And if Regis's 5 sixes didn't do it, that Kenyan performance against the UAE really should put the Zim A performances in perspective. Even if Zhuwao or someone else is picked for the qualifiers squad, no need to get our hopes up...

Two matches were one sided, whereas Nepal V/s Namibia ended in a thriller, as Nepal won by a narrow margin

[firebreaker]

Namibia shouldn't be really pleased with that but its good for them to lose this late otherwise they could have faded too

I'm rooting for Nepal too. The only team in this contest where someone at home really cares about the outcome. Every time I see pictures of them playing Namibia or the USA in Kathmandu with 20,000 people watching it makes me cringe that they haven't progressed more in the last fifteen years or so.

A true reflection of World Cricket or even just the world in general - Asia gets stronger whilst Africa fades away

Kenya smashed by UAE again shows how poor Kenya are now and that the runs made against them aren't 'worth as much' at the selection table

They were seriously such a talented side. And even up until a few years ago they were playing international cricket. One hell of a drop in both standard and standing on the world stage

[Jemisi]

The Kenyan train wreck is painful

[eugene]

Kenyan cricket is finished, they will be in Division 4 or 5 playing Tanzania and Israel before long.

[firebreaker]

Namibia is worse than Kenya.
