I just wait for the day when Nepal, UAE or Malaysia some how kicks Eng or Ind's arrogant a$$e$.

Yup. The ICC didnt care about the format until India and Pakistan were knocked out,
Its a total disgrace and should not be allowed happen. Hope its challenged at the CAS like the decision to make the WC a full member only event was made in 2011.
Its turned the pinnacle of the game into an invite only event.
If every team had equal ODIs then there would at least be some sense to it, but as is if we were to win every ODI we play we'd still end up 9th or so.
Travesty is what it is, imagine the uproar if Bangladesh somehow failed to qualify?? Unreal....
