Sounds like a great tournament with some very well matched sides. Should produce some exciting games. Personally hoping either Kenya or Ireland qualify.

I wish Kenya, Ireland & Scotland to qualify!.... Would love to see this tournament on Tv. Is it shown in Ireland atleast?

 

[Kweek]

no and no...


Holland and Ireland to qualify....thats a wish...

the truth will be Ireland n Scotland probably?

A full strength Ireland will be hard to beat. Kenya and Scotland should do well too. Could RTD drag the dutch into the world T20?

Taste of the pudding I always...say. I am tipping for a Kenya v. Ireland final

 

[Chemosit]

C'ARN Kenya!

With Aga and Kennedy Obuya back in the squad and in good form, Kenya are probably at their strongest for a good few years. Hopefully they can add this to the WCL Div 1 title...

I dont want dutch to qualify on one man's show, if they qualify it should always be team effort or they will struggle at bigger stages.

probably won't be a one man show...he will be supported, but yes Holland is at this point a one man show, which isn't a bad thing as it is...I don't want to know what will happen to dutch cricket once RTD calls it a day...

 

[brockley]

I dunno kweek italy just beat holland

 

[Chemosit]

I wouldn't read too much into the Euro Cup games that don't feature two teams playing in the WC qualifiers - I'm sure they are using the other matches to do some fine tuning.

Still they bounced back pretty convincingly (albeit against a much weaker side in Norway).

TBF thought Itaty are a decent bit to quailfy for the World Cup. Depending on whether Bermuda get their act together and how many ring in Canada bring. They are pretty strong just need some more locals coming through.

Dude there are teams such as UAE, NAMIBIA, DENMARK, Uganda who deserve to qualify befor ITALY!

 

[Chemosit]

Well this finally gets underway tomorrow. What are the picks for day one?

I reckon:
Kenya to beat Netherlands
Ireland to beat Scotland
Canada to beat Netherlands (yes, it would probably be an upset, but if Davison fires...)

 

[andruid]

Kenya beat Netherlands
Ireland edge out Scotland
Canada v. Netherlands could go either way though I suspect the Dutch could just sneak it

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Netherlands to beat Kenya
Scotland to beat Ireland
Netherlands to beat Canada

 

[laksh_01]

O my god can't wait for it to begin. ;-)

 

[Janus]

Ireland to beat Scotland
Kenya to Beat Netherlands
Netherlands to beat Canada(Just)

Ireland will be fielding a near full strength squad for this(finally) so should be in the final.
