Precisely. Cricket is elitist and old-fashioned enough as it is. To just exclude nations from playing simply because it's obvious beforehand that they're not good enough would be ludicrous and totally out of line with every other global sport.

Sure, the chances of Bermuda beating England are close to zero, but that's what happens in any other World Cup in any other sport as well. Don't go moaning about it, accept it and enjoy the little battles won by the minnows. India 204ao against The Netherlands in the 2003 WC is still one of my all-time favourite games of cricket. It doesn't really matter that the Dutch made only 130-odd in reply.

I would have Bermuda as favourites if those two teams were to verse, personally. Surely you could of used a better example than England :laugh:

"Top" is something of a joke description.
uh yes it can and two the better a team gets the more fans they get...and i don't think kenya beating sri lanka in the super 6 was a dead game...may be i am wrong...:laugh:

Err, no. If there is no cricket culture (which there never has been in Kenya), a team won't get a fan-base. What has the SL-Ken game being live to do with anything?

"The best of the rest" is certainly not a "top" team.

Be quite what, exactly? Quite clever? Yes. Quite informed about cricket? That, too.

Using the terms "top" and "high performance" in terms of such teams is laughable.

No offence here but is there any chance you could change that avatar? It's just that M Burns is, well, tec's avatar, and it just doesn't seem right (as well as being confusing) for anyone else to have it. :huh:
