Teams like netherlands, canada, ireland, kenya, bangladesh are playing in WC 2011. It is very obvious they will be washed away swiftly in the first round itself. There is no significance or sense. They don't know how to play cricket and have no background whatsoever. In recent world cups this has been a trend. Bermuda, Namibia, also played in recent world cups, and they were a joke. What is the point of seeing a one-sided match with these teams? Its just waste of time and makes world cup boring. The WC should be restricted to the original 9 countries (bangladesh not counted) or a new team entering WC must know how to play. If ICC thinks it makes world cup more exciting by adding such teams, then they are dreaming
i'm glad in 2015 world cup no such teams are allowed and the WC 2015 is only restricted to test playing nations. Its too bad, ICC's eyes didn't open fast enough to realize such teams are tournament killers
