Ireland. They have several players who are regular at county cricket. Ireland will be the best among the associate teams.

Kenya dont seem to have the talent they use to have, Ireland looks the strongest outfit out of the 4 teams.

Kenya bank on Rhodes' support



Kenya batsman Collins Obuya has said the inclusion of Jonty Rhodes as part of the team's support staff for the 2011 World Cup has been a major boost for preparations ahead of the tournament. Rhodes was hired as Kenya's fielding coach and took charge during a three-week training camp in Pretoria in November last year.

"Jonty's had a good rub-on-effect on all of us," Obuya, who began his career as a legspinning allrounder and is now a frontline batsman, said at the team's press conference in Colombo. "He has infused confidence that we can just go out there and play."

Kenya have played every World Cup since 1996 and have pulled off a couple of surprises. They beat West Indies in the 1996 World Cup in Pune and qualified for the semi-final in 2003 with victories over Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the lead-up to the knockout stage. Their squad includes two veterans who featured in the 1996 edition - Steve Tikolo and Thomas Odoyo - and is led by offspinning allrounder Jimmy Kamande.

"The 2003 semis spot was a dream for us," Kamande said. "We will take each game as it comes, and try to be consistent with bat, ball and fielding.

"We are looking at building our team over the next 10 years. For that we have to be consistent."

Kenya begin their World Cup campaign on February 20, taking on New Zealand in Chennai.


23 feb

PAK vs KENYA.

[Prince_Pathan]

afghanistan are affliate
and still better than all listed above

but if i were to chose again then its ireland or canada

[Sir john]

Yesterday match show that

In bowling-Kenya best team
In batting- Ireland best team.


poor show by zim,canda and holland in both departments.


good thing is that both and tikolo bowl well for kenya.

[amit]

the rankings

1. ireland - they will reach the quarter-finals. they are a team with almost 8-9 players who play county cricket. and 14 of their 15 players have professional contracts

2. kenya - have a outside chance & they will be looking to beat nz & zim to get to the quarter finals

3. netherlands - can push a few lower ranked teams close in their group. maybe even beat england

4. canada - no hopers. selected john davison just on the basis of his 2003 & 2007 performances even though he hasnt played cricket for over a year. and they are a expat based team. afghanistan in the wc would have been better

[Love Pakistan]

[sazz]

Ireland by a country mile.

One of the best fielding side in this world cup.

I think this is because most of their players play county cricket.
