Very good chance that the rest of the matches get washed out, so it's very important that we are ahead on NRR

Nadim we need big favour from The RR lol, had one of them won by a big margin and the remaining matches were washed out! Than the winner of this match would have gone through! The weather experts are saying more than 80% chance of rain/washout on the other thread. I reckon we have qualified!

^^^ ah make sense. Hope we get games. It will be a shame not to play any more games as we need more games before playing the big boys in the main event.

Ireland got unlucky. The reason I supported Ireland was, if they won, (and if Bangladesh hadn't been in this group- I would fully support them), and if they went on to play the Super 10- it would have helped boost the popularity of the game in Ireland.
I always support teams like Ireland, Scotland and Afghanistan. These teams have proper domestic leagues and can produce quality young players.
Whereas with teams like Oman - the team is made up mostly of immigrants, most of the players probably aren't even Omani citizens. This win doesn't help boost the popularity of cricket in Oman at all. I always wondered, where these players derive a sense of nationalism/ patriotism from, this also made me wonder what motivated them to perform so good.
For teams like Oman and UAE, which doesn't even have a proper league system and all cricketers are semi-professional, how do they produce young talented players to take over the main team in the future? If they can't do that they would just fade into the history books like Kenya's CWC03 semi finals.
But take nothing away from Oman, they deserved this win, and I congratulate them for that.

Ireland unlucky? Lol. They were extremely lucky today. Both Oman openers got bowled from inside edge. Any other day could be 2 boundaries. At least one of them. Also the umpiring decisions went Ireland's way.
But all said I am proud of Ireland that they ran Oman so close. Always have a soft spot for the weaker team in a battle

I am sorry Donal. Although I admit my support leaned towards Oman at the end, it was mainly because of how the Sky Sports 'pundits' were dismissive of BD and was hyping Ireland as the favorites. No ill will towards Ireland from me.

He did mention in his PP preview Ireland losing to Oman is not out of the question. He's not a blind find. And his knowledge of the game is sound.
He's 1 for 3 with predictions tho. Had Scotland beating Afghanistan and Netherlands upsetting us.
Ireland seem to suck at t20. They have only beaten us way in 2009 I believe. Their 50 over form hasn't translated. Probably if they hadnt lose Morgan.

Are you serious that sky sports talked about that? Really strange if they did so. Coming across racist bunch then because there is no way in hell BD are not favorites in the group.

Watching Aamir Ali smacking those boundaries, especially that six over the leg side, should make every person who felt too rotund, too bespectacled, too awkward to play cricket seriously, start to daydream about doing the same.

ICC should restrict players who are like Otithi Pakhi to represent those associates - it is basically a shame. I do not have problem with Usman Khwaza but Van der Marwe! Seriously. What does Oman consist of?

^^ Ya I agree. If this kind of set up is continued. Any non cricket playing country could start selling visas to Pak and Ind citizens for the sake of getting them in the team.

I have no problem with these players, he grew up in Aus, he is an australian. but I have problem with players like top cooper. he doesnt stay in holland, he doesnt play int cricket for holland, he last played for holland in the last t20 wc and came again to play for them in 2016 wc, these selfish players only come in the wc to showcase their talent si that they get picked in various t20 leagues or a stronger nation like eng or aus takes notice of them

Yes its all true.
But don't forget Engalnd and NZ,their domestic compeititions are littered with foreigners.
We have maybe 1 or 2 in our comps.I guess its too hard for foreigners 2 break into our domestic cricket.

Under current funding model, Associates get peanuts. Unless this funding model moves towards more performance based, we can't expect better than these Tom Coopers from Netherlands.
