Minnows

Unfortunate for Scotland & Afghanistan as it would have been awesome if it was 16 nations tournament. Especially Afghanistan in Asian conditions. How much boost it would have been for the sport if they played...

Anyways which of the 4 teams do u guys think can make a difference? Why?

 

[morgieb]

Ireland. Other 3 aren't good enough I feel.

Afghanistan could've made a difference had they peaked earlier....

Don't see any of those teams challenging any of the top nations but Ireland do have Joyce now so they are a team to look out for. They were unlucky not to get Hamish Marshall as well. That would have been interesting to see.

Could a mod please add none of the above to the poll please?

I went with Kenya. I don't really see them making a difference as such, but the other three are worse.

Netherlands. Has got RTD. Best player from the associate nations by daylight.

Wish Afghanistan was playing tbh.

Reckon Kenya is a far poorer side than the Dutch and Irish these days.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I reckon Australia would make the most difference [/GIMH]

Should be an irrelevant option in there IMHO.

Yeah Kenya are massively over-rated these days. There's about five lots of daylight between Ireland and Kenya.

This seems to suggest that you are right. I must confess that I had no idea about Kenya's recent results. My perception of them being an okay side (for a minnow) has probably got to do with their performance in 2003.

 

[Faisal1985]

Have a feeling Kenya might be the one.

 

[Faisal1985]

Ireland to get hammered on Subcontinent pitches.

 

[alvarez]

I'm going with Ireland and Netherlands.

Despite Kenya's recent poor form I think they might be suited to the conditions so maybe they'll spring an upset at some stage as well.

Ireland is a tad overrated too, can't see them winning matches in subcontinent tbh.

That doesn't make them over-rated; that just makes them unlikely to cause a World Cup upset.

 

[Athlai]

Ireland have a pretty decent batting lineup right now.

 

[Migara]

The biggest problem is that the best Minnow side is not playing the tournament.
