Is Ireland the best minnow of the lot now ?

[Cricketville]

You know, other than Bangladesh ( amazing how a win against Aus has banished most of the negative thoughts I had against them), is Ireland the next big thing ? Kenya really has no board now, and dont play even as many games as Bangladesh do. So is it time for the irish to rise ?

 

[andrew_nixon]

No, it's easily Scotland.

Yup Scots beat Irealand, so they are the best of the rest I guess.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Scotland have won both the Intercontinental Cup and the ICC Trophy, so they're the associate champions at both 3 day and 1 day cricket.

Ireland have what a lot of good minnow teams have ie good batsmen but scotland who are the best minnow team around have good & experienced bowlers.Even the Bangladesh team has batsmen & no good bowlers.

Scotland's experience in the totesport league helped them a lot

Scotland also beat Bangladesh last summer in a game I went to in Glasgow.

lol funny how Jon Davison gets the fastest WC century ever, then comes back to South Australia and struggles to get a game for arguably the worst side in Australian state cricket.

Holland would have done better given the same totesport league opportunity as Scotland but that is no excuse for finishing fifth.

Holland have a very poor bowling attack..and i mean very poor.

I would say Scotland are the best by a considerable distance at the moment

I was shocked to see Denmark qualify for the WC..who knew they played cricket?:confused:

 

[DJ Ager]

They did well against India at the 2003 World Cup. It was their batting which let them down.

Denmark did well this time, but they did not qualify.
