Should be a cracker. Right up there with the Afro-Asian Cup.

Looking forward to the results of Scotland v Netherlands, should be abit of a grudge match after the World Cup group match.

Wow, finally something the Windies can win.

 

[Craig]

Should be interesting...

Wow, finally something the Windies can win.

Let's not get too confident...

 

[Craig]

If the West Indies failt to win this then the lot of them should be made to pay for their own airfares back to the West Indies. Either that or not give them their match fees.

I can't wait
Hopefully I'll go see the Ireland vs. Windies game.

I expect cricket to die in West Indies, if they lost this series. Tho good to see several fixtures in Ireland, first India & SA, then WI and other associates.

Top initiative IMO. Don't really like the fact that it actually has ODI status but the actual series is a great idea really. Tipping Scotland to cause an upset or two and finish second.

But if the series didn’t have ODI status then Ireland and the Netherlands would be unable to field their best players.

I imagine there will be disputes over certain players being released from their counties in order to play this series, which would be a shame. It is inevitable though and I don't think that either Ireland or the Netherlands will be able to field their best players.

 

[Aritro]

How'd the Windies get roped into this?

 

[Goughy]

Looks excellent. Just what the smaller European teams need, games and revenue.

Anyone know if this is being televised?

TBH, it wouldn't be that big an upset. This might surprise people that only saw Scotland and Ireland at the WC but the Scots beat Ireland a lot in OD cricket including the 1997 and 2005 ICC Trophy meetings btween the two. And remember the Scots beat both the other two in the Woirld Cricket League pre WC. As for the Windies the words "hiding to nothing" come to mind here. If they win they get no credit...but if they lose....

Well, I agree - hence me predicting it. However, it'd be an upset to most people here I'd imagine, given the World Cup and all.

Cant possibly be that bad

Can't be cos we're in it

Without some of your best players, it must be said.
