ICC Trophy 2005

[Ryand]

The last place o the wc 2007 will be fought for by two good teams.I'd like to see the UAe there because they will most likely play in the next Asia cup so,they need one day cricket and exposure which has been neglected by Holland who play intl cricket once in four years.All the Best UAE

UAE played in world cup 1996 also...when they qualified alonh withholland and kenya.

 

[Ryand]

The scots should win the icc trophy and do well against the aussies.That'll show the ICC that tey're the next teamto get full one day status and even test status.So then they won't have to qualify for the next wc with full ODI status

They've already got full ODI status from January 1st 2006.

The Netherlands qualify for the World Cup, and will play in Group 1, along with Australia, South Africa and the winner of the ICC Trophy.

Bermuda will play in Group 2 of the World Cup, along with Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh.

Canada will play in Group 3 of the World Cup, along with New Zealand, England and Kenya.

An absolutely pathetic performance by the USA today. To score almost 350 against an ICC affiliate member, with nowhere near as much experience, and then lose, is just plain crap.

3 groups of 4 then?

Surprised netherlands didn't do better than 5th.

So
Holland qualify for the 2007 world cup in the caribbean along with bermuda,canada,ireland and scotland.

but i feel that the group 1 would not be worth watching for as it would be a cake walk for australia and south africa....or rather should be

Bermuda(triangle?),where the heck did they come from?They must have played well above themselves.

They do usually come very close, just missing out on the qualification spots.

am betting on them.
