And yeah the roads safe, the drivers aren't retards and the driving tests are pretty stringent.

I visited in 2009 and 2010.

Just re-read your post and realised you meant you saw that in Malaysia.

Cayman Islands is not even a country...

Interesting how people in America are fighting for the freedom to carry guns in public while the Singapore government even bans chewing gum because they make the city dirty

Singapore

World Cricket League Division 8 can go here can't it? They're up to the semi-finals now - Ghana v Japan and Belgium v Vanuatu. Samoa, featuring 45-year-old Murphy Su'a, haven't made it - perhaps because he no longer bowls.

Nice to see a majority of indigenous players in the Japan squad btw. Could the Far East be a more realistic growth area than North America?

UAE 71/2 (23.4 ov, Haroon Iftikhar 34*, Shaiman Anwar 22*, Mohammad Nabi 1/11) - Match over | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

So the mighty Afghans have been completely demolished by the UAE. Should be noted that they've lost to Singapore as well with nearly the same team in the past, thereby proving they're essentially a mini-Pakistan.

As far as I can see 8 Malaysians in their team and 2 Singapore born in theirs. Say what you want about Malaysia - I do and I live here - they support and promote their own, good or bad.

We support and promote our own too, it's just that the expats who come down are simply better.

There are Singaporeans coming through the age groups now though, in the recent ACC T20 tournament there were at least 5 who learnt all their cricket here,

The expats in Malaysia are far better also. I'm not arguing good or bad. Malaysia wants its own to rep the nation and feels strongly about it. Winning with a team of expats wouldn't and, given the political climate, couldn't happen.
