Ah, the Pakistan B thing. Intended as a friendly jibe at how the Afghan cricket team came to be. Apologies nonetheless. And congratulations!I felt it was disrespectful toward our player and their achievements, i felt you tried to undermine their tremendous success by saying its a Pakistan b team...
Anyway good luck
Maybe we will face each other again later today
okay then I misinterpreted your post...
Well thanks and good start by the dutch to remove porterfield.
Hope to lose the final against you.

Netherlands staring down the barrel here. If Ireland had Rankin to add to their bowling depth they'd have a pretty good attack.

Losing two wickets in the forst over is not helping......
But we do have a very good batting line-up. Given this is a B-team tourney, we have some strong batters AND some depth.

TBH, from where either Afghanistan, Ireland or Holland are, the difference between Eng, Ind, SA or WI are relatively small.
Apart from that, I can imagine, when having the opportunity to play with the big guys, one rather plays with the really big guys!

Was probably a good thing he got out anyway.

Not really in this case, because for obvious reasons we'd rather have a shot at England than any of the other teams.
Would be good to finally beat Afghanistan though, they've really had the wood on us since their emergence.

Shocking how Afghanistan can quality. The comparative difference between, for example, Ireland and Afghanistan is facilities is not even a fair question to ask.
But Ireland clearly the cream of the crop of the associate sides. I hope they gain full Test membership within the next five-ten years. There is no point in having these competitions if you never allow a side to get above the associate level.
I wonder what Ireland would think of hosting or touring the domestic champions of other countries. I'd love to see something like that to help them develop further - I think if you can be on an even keel with a really good domestic side, I reckon you're good enough to start playing Tests. Maybe Ireland can even play as one of the sides in something like the Duleep or Ranji Trophy. It'd be great to have the Indian Duleep winner, or the 'A' team visit Ireland for a full tour of 3-5 FC, 3-5 ODI and a couple T20 matches.
Obviously, I don't know much about the logistics and/or money issues, but that'd be awesome. It'd help everyone - expose young cricketers from the subcontinent to other conditions, and help Ireland develop.

Afghanistan getting into the T20 world cup is the most heart warming story I have seen.Great performance by them. Truly deserve their place. Every few months I read about them beating Ireland or Scotland or some other big team. Hope they become a pretty good team.
