MINNOW WILL REMAIN SO - -
by Shilpa Mehta on Sep 27, 2018 11:15 AM

Its good for all MINNOW TEAMS like AFG / IRELAND

KENYA / UAE / HONG KONG / SCOTLAND to beat one

of the regular team at least once in TEN games .

That keeps their moral up & they strive to improve .

But defeating a regular team once in 8-10 games does not shed the tag of MINNOWS from them .

They still remain a MINNOW & cricket fans & our media cannot say that " THEIR TEAM CANNOT EVEN BEAT A MINNOW '

Tag of MINNOW will be removed only if these teams at least reach quarter finals of a major tournament like WC / 20-20 WC / CT OR ICC ranking within first six in any format .
NOT BEFORE THAT .

Like Lanka's tag of a minnow was removed after they won WC 1996 .
Bangladesh's minnow tag was sheded after they reached QF of WC 2011 etc .

But sometimes still Bangladesh goes into a 'MINNOW MODE ' by playing poor cricket .

AFG HAS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO .
