ICC 6 Nations Challenge

[jeromedascorp]

well the us cricket team is mostly full of asians and west indians which is no surprise. But I think cricket will gain popularity within the next 4-8 yrs. But for cricket to become as popular as soccer in the US, i think they will have to win the six nations challenge and perform well in the 2007 world cup.

Is this some sort of world cup qualification?

The winner gets a place in the Champions Trophy in September, facing New Zealand and Australia.

Yet again, does anyone read a word I say? [/b]

: NO

I dont think the world cup teams have been decided yet. They have to play the ICC Trophy as usual. But I think this series will give us an idea as to who has a chance of surviving the big teams. Plus, I dont think the winner wud be too keen on facing Aus or Nz. They wud rather play kenya or bangladesh.

Well they have played in every ICC Trophy so far, and they are still an associate member of the ICC, so barring disaster they should be there in Ireland next year!
