i feel sorry for namibia
they got trounced by australia with hayden leading on 88 (i think) and symonds smashing 59
one of the namibians also plays inside centre for the national rugby side so he gets to play in two world cups this year |

how good is sachin tendulkar
did anyone catch a glimpse at his odi stats?
he is by far the best odi and test batter (modern day) that this world has seen
his century against pakistan proved that as he did it better than a run a ball
australia is gonna hammer england tonight |

| what are your thoughts on Kenya? their performance in this years WC has been amazing. I think Bangladesh's test status should be transfered to Kenya. |

I think Kenya should have had it in the first place
I do however want to see a B division in tests, Kenya, Bangladesh, Holland, Namibia, Scotland Canada etc, playing tests on neutral venues against each other, these teams will never compete at that level unless they play games & practise etc |

I agree, there need to be more countries participating in tests. A new division would be a great start. Other sports have many countries competing but in cricket its only about 10-12. More countries would bring a better diversity in the sport as well as more global recognition (something that is needed greatly here in the States). |

i disagree with the b division idea. im of the beleif you will only get better by playing the best players and teams
the only thing i could see lifting these teams to greater levels is an international league of some sort or at least the idea of the 5 nations tournament translated into cricket. i mean teams like italy and that can only get better from the greater opposition
greater professionalism will bring in better coaches and greater room for growth |
