Unfortunately I missed the game as I was making a cup of tea at the time. The scorebook suggests they've got a way to go though.

Theres only like 1 american born player in the team, the rest are from Pakistan and West Indies. It makes you wonder what the USA are even doing in the comp.

I have pointed out the sam on the England board. Not only are very few actually from the US, look at the age's - many are way over 35!!

Zimbabwe and Bangladesh may also be making pig's ear of the competiton, but atleast they have players from who were born in the country and have time on their side, they can learn from the experince.

I really fail to see how sending a team full of aged ex-pats develops the sport. The ICC should adjust it's qualification rules.
