Bdesh - Kenya - Namibia - Canada - Holland

[handle]

Since we barely scraped thru the series, it seems that we are just marginally better than Namibia. This is how these countries seem to fare against each other ..

2003 - Bdesh beat Namibia 4-1 (includes a 1 wicket, and a 9 run victory)

2002 - 6 Nations Cup :
Canada got thrashed by Kenya, barely lost to Holland and beat Namibia
Kenya thrashed Canada, beat Holland, and got stung by Namibia
Namibia lost to Canada, but beat Holland and Kenya
Holland beat Canada, but lost to Namibia and Kenya.

Prior to that Kenya and Namibia had a 6 game series where Kenya won 4-2.

It appears that we're all very close to each other, with Kenya holding the edge (they beat the most big name teams and 'A' teams).

Why is that ? We have the biggest player base and the most experience - why are we still so bad ?

Prediction

Bdesh - Canada : Anybody's game
Bdesh - Kenya : Kenya unless there's a miracle.
Bdesh - SL/SA/NZ/WI : There won't be any upsets, unless Wasim bhai or Saleem Bhai is playing for these teams

I think there's nothing wrong with those scores. We barely beat Kenya in ICC thanks to duckworth-lewis and luck. And since then we have been doing what we are supposed to do: losing to Kenya, and Namibia. Our aspirations and ability don't really match. I would take all these results with a grain of salt and look for gradual improvement in the future.

There is nothing wrong admiring supriemecy of another team.
As long as we the right thing to catch others, we can just continue to play
