There is a catch-22 here. According to the coaches (e.g., Ian Pont) we do not expect to win against G8 as we are lower ranked. That means, in order to climb higher in the ranking, we need to play against non-G8 like Zimbabwe, Ireland, Kenya. This is again very tricky. We do not gain much by winning against this lower ranked teams, while we may concede huge loss in ratings for our occasional defeats against them. Although we can ask the ICC to cancel all our schedules against the G8 so that we can maximize the rating things by playing against sure teams like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Papua New Gunea. Playing against Afgans and Canada may be too risky.
